i know there’s limit to the amount of plugins in the plugin store but does that also apply to plugins from the forum?

[celest moon]

Yes

Man... This server needs a #roleplay channel

[vital igloo]

We currently have RP server, and we also used to have channel.

[round parcel]

if i build manual buildings instead of zones, do they get rebuilt to something else after some time or stay forever?

[safe kettle]

if you make them untouchable they won't

[round parcel]

ok

so i guess it will be tricky to make a nice city in non sandbox

since i gotta build everything manually to increase populatin

in transition between poor residents and medium/rich residents

[fickle lynx]

We used to have one long ago

There's a reason why it didn't stick around

[fickle lynx]

Yes but the rp server is not affiliated with theotown in any way shape or form

[silver temple]

Does anyone have a server link to vōnark?

I know this might be out of topic but I'm curious of what plugins he has made so

Just dm me

[celest moon]

He made two Chinese skyscraper

[silver temple]

yeah i found out while watching a video on YouTube

I think it was the China Zun and GIFC

And the Cheesegater

I really really wanna get my hands on those

So err, if you have a link to the server, I kinda want it, just dm me

[celest moon]

Check your dm

[round parcel]

so happy they exist

[scarlet pilot]

can u give me an invite link too? I need new decoration plugins

[candid ginkgo]

My previous edit.

[celest moon]

There are also other characters hidden within the game files

[silver glade]

Did they update the economy ingame?

I visited the game after a while

And noticed I was in the red income

Where before I was making millions

[versed timber]

Likely a plugin thing

[tough granite]

Oh I'm not very active sorry

[versed timber]

You have still yet to do it

[tough granite]

There

I did

[versed timber]

Yeah that "edit" isn't much better

[tough granite]

But it's acceptable right?

[versed timber]

Given your Pfp as well, no.

[tough granite]

What if I change my pfp

[versed timber]

Then I'll debate it

[tough granite]

Ok

One sec

[marble swallow]

you should change your bio to “my dad left me 🤬🤬💀💀💀🗿🗿🗿🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡”

[tough granite]

👍

[tough granite]

There

[tardy stump]

what

?

[tough granite]

Hes talking to me he's a nobody just ignore him

[versed timber]

It'll work

[tardy stump]

use #general for non-theotown discussions

[tough granite]

Okay cool

[tough granite]

Ok

[gritty crater]

Guys, do you have a road plugin suggestion?

[tough granite]

@versed timber

[versed timber]

Yes?

[tough granite]

Change my name back

[versed timber]

That wasn't me

That was my co-admin

[tough granite]

Well can you change it back

[versed timber]

I am inclined follow his decision

[tough granite]

Y?

[versed timber]

Seeing as he is also an admin

he has the same decision making rights as myself

[tough granite]

Who is he?

[versed timber]

@bronze moon you are being requested my friend

[bronze moon]

Hello

[tough granite]

Hey you

Change my name back

[bronze moon]

no thanks

[wet stag]

[tough granite]

Why

What did I do?

[bronze moon]

your bio was technically allowed, but you and I both know damn well what the intentions behind it still are

and just like that, I al technically allowed to keep your name like that

I will more than happily change it back, when you have a normal bio

I will not tolerate any hate speech or any message hinting towards it

[tough granite]

But it's still allowed so there's no reason for punishment I'm not doing anything wrong and I don't have any bad intentions

But my bio says I don't hate and don't wanna kill

[bronze moon]

yeah, love the quotation marks at all the "not" and "dont"

[tough granite]

I'm a good Samaritan who's done nothing wrong

[bronze moon]

good for you

[tough granite]

Thank you

See I'm very respectful

[bronze moon]

as your name suggests

[tough granite]

Indeed

[bronze moon]

so then surely you have no trouble wearing the name

[tough granite]

But since I'm so respectful there's no need for it

[bronze moon]

oh believe me, there is

[tough granite]

But you said it yourself I'm respectful

[bronze moon]

yes, calling me jealous for something you shouldn't be proud of reeks of respectfulness

[tough granite]

Whatever do you mean?

[bronze moon]

I mean that all our messages are stored in a logs channel

so you can cut it off

[tough granite]

It's probably photoshop I can't believe an admin would slander an upstanding citizen such as myself

[marble swallow]

💀

[bronze moon]

alright, let me do this the simple way

change your bio or not, up to you, but until then, I wont change anything

[marble swallow]

“upstanding citizen” 💀

[tough granite]

Indeed "Pole"

[marble swallow]

@bronze moon can you change my server name

[bronze moon]

to what sir

[tough granite]

Lol

[marble swallow]

Danzk

[marble swallow]

Sure “Be respectful”

[tough granite]

I'm not changing it lol anyways I got better things to do see ya

[gritty crater]

Imagine arguing over a name

[marble swallow]

[bronze moon]

good day to you

[marble swallow]

thanks for changing my name

[bronze moon]

no worries!

Zoning in a nutshell

[glass drum]

First time using this road Plug-in

[tough fractal]

Wow

What plugin is that?

[glass drum]

I13 road pack

[tardy stump]

no

that's not how cities work unfortunately

undo button is only available when you place land in water, I think it's a good idea to have it in land too

[ornate glen]

Old plugin 😢

[timid remnant]

is that the krusty krab on the right side

[versed timber]

If it is abandoned already no one will remove

So it'll have to be rebuilt

[ornate glen]

Yesn't

[versed timber]

is it grayish?

[crimson mortar]

i have a suggestion for a new thread

one problem that i always have is not having the right building so most of the time we have to improwise what if we have a thread where you insert an image of a building(irl or ingame) and if someone thinks they have it or something similar they can refer to it on the store or forum.

[dull halo]

Hello, any user here??

[celest moon]

Yes permanently, you can use it on any city

you're welcome

but their happiness is over 80%

i wonder what they need more

[safe kettle]

what does happiness have to do with this

you can click on the happiness meter to see what they want

[vital igloo]

Ptag Ptag when

[formal pike]

I couldn't find any tags matching that name!

[round parcel]

then what is the "required stuff for the demand"

when the demand is below the line

[safe kettle]

required stuff means for example parks and low education for medium residential

or low education, high education, parks and sport for rich residential

[round parcel]

ok

lol i havent unlocked elementary school for middle class residents yet but i build houses for middle class so im sitting in one area spawn camping protestors

[safe kettle]

is that even worth the effor

t

[round parcel]

the policeman says there will be a riot if i leave them

[safe kettle]

there will

[round parcel]

bruh they left literally one frame before elementary school finished constructing

Should i instal avenue road or save up for more development

[safe kettle]

it doesn't seem like traffic is an issue for you

yet

[round parcel]

And why is my income half of what it used to be even tho my city is a lot bigger now?

[safe kettle]

open the spendings tab and see for yourself

education definitely is expensive

[round parcel]

right

education is over 25% of my budget

so that means if i dont build any new thing and let some zones develope, my income growth would be stable?

o nvm its still fluctuating

[slow sundial]

bro wth is this city

[slow sundial]

omg just put an avenue

it'll look nicer

like it's expensive anyways

[round parcel]

i know it looks nicer but its just that im barely having 10 to 15kT at all times

and i wanted develope some more

so wasnt sure

[slow sundial]

make sure to tax people more if possible

[round parcel]

tax is people's lowest happiness rn

so idk

[slow sundial]

download plugins like the nature pack because apparently it gives you free cash

[slow sundial]

do it until their happiness reaches only 50%

[round parcel]

for tax?

[slow sundial]

yes

[round parcel]

aight

lol i increased each tax by one percent and overall happiness dropped from 85 to 75

[slow sundial]

do more

honestly just download plugins like the nature pack

use the find feature to destroy those natually spawned diamond rocks made by the nature pack

or download the wishing fountain plugin

free money

or the large parks by ankhatori

still free money

[safe kettle]

sounds pretty unethical

[slow sundial]

[round parcel]

yeah lol ill just enjoy not taxing my people too much

[slow sundial]

doesnt even use sandbox

[safe kettle]

anyways i still make good cities tho

not some goofy skyscraper spam

honestly most of my urban builds are flat spam

[graceful pine]

Can't seem to find it

[candid drift]

Might be private.

[zinc compass]

Oh that's cringe

So no way to use it?

[candid drift]

Well if your able to provide a pic i can give u a yes or no.

Depends what your going for ig, but i'd recommend google earth

..never heard of google earth?..

If your going for a more realistic city then google earth would work well, but if your trying to make a more theotowny city then i cant help 🙃

U can enable sandbox mode if u want infinite money.

[zinc compass]

Can i download mods from the forum on my phone

[hot crypt]

yes

[candid drift]

Yea Im pretty sure u can

[zinc compass]

How tho

Well lemme see if there's a yt tutorial

[candid drift]

U download them from the forum

Ptag files

[formal pike]

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

▪︎ Windows: C:\Users(insert username)\TheoTown
▪︎ Linux: /home/$USER/TheoTown
▪︎ MacOS: /user/TheoTown
▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/
Reinstalling the game for Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

Alternatively, you can access the files through in-built TheoTown file manager, accessible through the in-game menu.

You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.

Inspiration. I think what happens is you see enough examples of what a city looks like, you subconsciously notice patterns, and you apply them to cities you build in the game

Not a 1:1 copy, but with similar trends and such

[celest moon]

How is that cringe? If it's private then alright you can't get it. You gotta respect the plugin creator choice

[hot crypt]

google earth, #tips-n-tricks, #featured-cities and imagination that should make it.

[celest moon]

I made a list on how to build a beautiful city

[hot crypt]

only with permission from the plugin maker, Other ways are **illegal **

[hot crypt]

How to build a beautiful city 101 by DualHD :

1. Build a better road layout
2. Manual build (very important)
3. Get a alot of plugins (preferably good looking ones not cartoony)
4. Use Google Earth for inspiration or look at cities in ⁠featured-cities
5. Use grey graphical shader (settings) optional
6. Don't use zone
7. Don't make the city just skyscrapers/very dense (unless you wanna make Dubai or HK or Tokyo or a very dense city)
8. Add more diverse environments? (Desert, swamps, jungle, mountains, etc) optional
9. Recommend using Sandbox Mode, optional

If you can't do all of that then that's alright. Don't give up you'll eventually become a master builder one day

there'

[zinc compass]

Alr do all of those

It's just that my buildings are goofy looking since i can't find good building plugins

I accept the creators decision to keep their plugins private, i just reserve the right to find that choice cringe

[celest moon]

Here's my city (i don't really care if you copy it) for inspiration

[zinc compass]

Looks very nice

What plugins did you use?

[celest moon]

Thanks, it takes time and experience to build this

[tardy stump]

I recommend a dutch guy, arangasit and rockfort plugins

[zinc compass]

Ye i heard those are good, thanks

I am gonna look into em on the forum

[celest moon]

Dekuz plugins too

[zinc compass]

I didn't know the forum existed until very recently

[tardy stump]

oh yeah

[zinc compass]

Theotown is a very good game

[celest moon]

And that Indonesian guy (forgot the name) who makes crazy detailed plugins

[zinc compass]

Despite being somewhat limited i find it gives you more freedom than most city builders

[celest moon]

Yea better than Sim City mobile

[celest moon]

Alot like 680+ plugins, unfortunately i can't list them since that will take a very long time

[zinc compass]

Damn, gj

[celest moon]

Let's just say i use :
vönark plugins
Themax plugins
The26 plugins
Fitamint plugins
Rockfort plugins
Macro plugins
Dekuz plugins
Yusuf plugins

[jovial igloo]

[celest moon]

[stone root]

How can I get private plugins?

[candid drift]

You can't.

They are private for a reason

as for chipper's or fitamint's plugins they were deleted off the store and forum for his personal reasons

[stone root]

wow

[candid drift]

you need permission from the creator to get the plugin

[candid drift]

Keyword, "Private"

[stone root]

That's my point, how to get this permission?

[versed timber]

Most are retired. So you don't

[marble swallow]

bye 👋

[fresh pawn]

That's the neat part
U dont

[candid drift]

🤯

[marble swallow]

😱

it’s almost like

when a plugin is private

there’s no way you can get it 😱

[candid drift]

insane

I could have never thought of that

[marble swallow]

i used up all my brain cells explaining that

[stone root]

🥲

[candid drift]

Aight I have enough

I think it is time

Theotown goes on xbox on xbox game pass

Will be hard work to change up some stuff to release it on console

But I think we can do it

TheoTown (since 2015) is written in Java and rendered with OpenGL, neither of which are supported by Xbox nor PlayStation, their OSes are a closed Microsoft and Sony ecosystem respectively

the game must be re-written in c++ from scratch

which takes a long time since the game has currently only 2 developers, one of them is very rarely active

Damn

I'm sure there's some way around this

Actually

Idk

[versed timber]

who is "we" lmao

Quick question:
What's the deal with expressways? I thought it used to be that it didn't count as a road connection for zones, but I currently have a few blocks with expressways as their only road connection, and they're growing

Did it change? Was this never the case? Is my game broken?

[versed timber]

That was never the case

[rugged gale]

Strange

Alright, thanks

[trail crest]

How do you make tunnel roads

[coral rover]

@ornate glen also, another thing that bothers me is the lack of modular, old looking industrial buildings
How am I supposed to replicate something like this if most ships in the game are too modern and there's barely any modular industrial buildings, let alone 1920s looking ones?

(decided to send this here so the mods don't get angry at me)

[ornate glen]

Mhm i see

don't we have the titanic? (as a 1920s ship)

> finish your project

[coral rover]

The one we have looks kinda out of proportion to me
And It's very low quality in my opinion

[ornate glen]

Mhhhm 😶

[coral rover]

Smh why can't we have nice ships

[candid drift]

I want more cargo ships 😔

[austere bloom]

[tulip phoenix]

When is the next theotown update?

[safe kettle]

there is no update schedule, they get released when they are ready

[high compass]

Which one looks better?

[celest moon]

Ig the second one?

That is one big highway

[high compass]

Hmm okay

The hike is too extreme so it feels weird lol

[naive vessel]

You could try to do a curved ramp

[spice rover]

the second one

but the turn looks too sharp

[stuck hazel]

The second one since traffic merges. It’s much more impressive than anything I’ve made!

I'll have to build a lot of the city like this
Kinda sucks when there's not many buildings that are similar

So I'd have to use what I can

[candid drift]

Maybe, the buildings are Peruvian

[proven plinth]

Hello

[candid drift]

Idk how Spanish towns are shaped tho

Like, what their pattern is

Probably similar to other Mediterranean towns

Since it's a similar architecture

[candid drift]

In that plugin there are a lot of different buildings it's just that you probably zoned instead of manually placing the buildings

[nocturne lotus]

I place them manually

I don't zone

does it look better?

Ignore the single house over there lol.

[stone root]

It depends

[candid drift]

Yes

A little bit of trees could help tho

Or maybe like sideway trees

[nocturne lotus]

true

Like this

Is that good

[candid drift]

Yes, it's beautiful

[tardy stump]

it looks quite andean

[candid drift]

Good for me cuz i wanna try building cities in different styles

First time hearing about Andean so imma look it up

Research it a little bit

[naive vessel]

Up close, yes
From afar, I recommend adding a waterfront

[nocturne lotus]

I will later

[naive vessel]

Okay I would like to give some advise to anyone interested on how to make a good city.

[proven plinth]

Id like some advice

I am tired of making generic american midwestern town

[nocturne lotus]

I'm building a city that would be an industrial powerhouse

[naive vessel]

First of all, using grids doesn't mean that your city is automatically bad. You just really have to add variation to the grid pattern

[proven plinth]

I usually make 4 x long grids

[naive vessel]

What this means is that it's best to make your grids rectangular but not too long

[proven plinth]

Hmm

Should i try to recreate bucharest

Like

The style

[naive vessel]

This doesn't apply to non-American/Oceania cities however

[proven plinth]

Commie blocks clashed with classic pre war buildings

[hot crypt]

why not :)

[tardy stump]

grids aren't bad

Is it me or does this look like the danube

Wallachia and bulgaria

[candid drift]

[candid drift]

nope

[candid drift]

In the theotown map there are like different massive rivers idk

[proven plinth]

It looks like the romanian bulgarian border

[candid drift]

It does look like Constanta a little bit yeah

constanta has nothing to do with the danube lmao

but ye, it kinda looks like the danube

The romanian bulgarian danube

[candid drift]

[safe kettle]

I still don't get what are you even asking me about

[celest moon]

I'm sorry but i don't understand your question

[empty shoal]

Go to single cities

and you will see it there

[naive vessel]

Curious but like we're allowed to share a full google drive folder in #tips-n-tricks right?

[candid drift]

Almost finished

[hot crypt]

Since I guess you want to share some plugins and I think some of them may be private, no

[naive vessel]

nah, not gonna share private plugins. I'm just gonna send a link to the series of tips-n-tricks I've been working on. Although it's still a work in progress

u wanna check it out just in case?

[slow sundial]

man why private plugins

makes me really want to start building a new plugin

and just share it

[naive vessel]

I refuse to share private plugins since it's a violation of rules

[rigid crag]

Coolio

[candid drift]

Thanks

[rigid crag]

[round parcel]

do you all take inspirations from maps for roads

[candid drift]

I mainly use google earth, but sometimes I just come up with my own road designs

[round parcel]

ok

[rigid crag]

Google earth is better for buildings and stuff like harbours

[candid drift]

Not really, just go on street view and look at the roads..

[rigid crag]

I couldn’t do that with trainyards, there we no nearby roads

[candid drift]

when where we talking about trainyards?

[rigid crag]

^stuff like

Trainyards are in harbours.

[candid drift]

we were talking about roads...

[desert island]

Does anyone have any plug-in recommendations I rlly want like an old one like that has old houses and buildings

[candid drift]

I am seeing this in 2 or multiple channels #plugin-discussion message #town-square message

[desert island]

I also put it in a plug-in channel

[candid drift]

Only one message is necessary

[desert island]

Ok but it’s so more people see it

[candid drift]

Sending the same message in multiple channels is spam

[desert island]

How?

[versed timber]

The same amount of folks will see it regardless

Let's keep it one channel please

In the future

THANK U

[quiet stream]

how are you suppose to download forum plugins on ios

[versed timber]

Use iOSs file manager

To my understanding there's a built in one

[quiet stream]

i downloaded a forum however its just sitting in my files

with nowhere to go

so im confused

[versed timber]

Ptag files

[formal pike]

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

▪︎ Windows: C:\Users(insert username)\TheoTown
▪︎ Linux: /home/$USER/TheoTown
▪︎ MacOS: /user/TheoTown
▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/
Reinstalling the game for Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

Alternatively, you can access the files through in-built TheoTown file manager, accessible through the in-game menu.

You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.

[versed timber]

You have to get it to the Theotown folder

[quiet stream]

no such thing

in my files

[versed timber]

Since from what I remember iOS doesn't have access to the in-game file manager does it?

[quiet stream]

probably not

[versed timber]

Then you simply maybe not able to

Just a downside to Apple I guess

[quiet stream]

mm

its whatever

[versed timber]

Sorry there's nothing we can do

[quiet stream]

its fine

[unborn heart]

Is it more efficient money wise to increase existing schools' performance compared to building new ones?

[round parcel]

put them a diameter away from nearby schools

idk actually

[minor hazel]

if you have enough money, buy a new one

otherwise the monthly expenditure skyrockets

increasing the performance is a temporary solution

because in the long run it will cost you more

I tried putting railway network in the dense area in my game. But it still says the usage is 0%. Can anybody tell me why?

[minor hazel]

railroads dont really work currently, its mostly just decoration and for happiness

They will work once again after the transport update

[trim isle]

ohhh....

I guess i should just stick to car oriented cities :/

[minor hazel]

bus works

:)

[trim isle]

I know. I just wanted to create a pedestrian friendly city with a nice elevated metro and tram system

😦

[minor hazel]

I use elevated trains to increase happiness

[trim isle]

ohh ok

[minor hazel]

it doesnt reduce traffic though

🤷‍♀️

[trim isle]

ik, it sucks

but i have to wait for the update.....i guess

Before and After my city hall, I'm testing some ways to build the administrative area of ​​the city.

[naive vessel]

Both look really good, it really is just a matter of what vibe you want your building to give: municipality building in a developing urban area, or municipality building in a fully developed urban area

[thin dagger]

I'm still thinking about whether to put it in a development neighborhood with little houses or in a developed neighborhood with buildings

[magic scroll]

The building is private?

[candid drift]

n o

it's by Bernardo Brandão

[thin dagger]

the name is "palácio da justiça"

I'm trying to do the administrative area but nothing comes to mind 😅

[magic scroll]

oh thanks

[magic scroll]

thats cool

[candid drift]

Plugin for tall clocktower building?

[celest moon]

Also made by Bernardo brandao

[candid drift]

Thanks.

[thin dagger]

here I intend to make a waterfront with some buildings and also a historic area, I am inspired by the city of Natal - Brazil

[rigid crag]

What can I do to improve my little euro-suburb

[thin dagger]

improvements on the avenue, I put lighting on the fences and parking in the middle of the avenue, as it will be busy in the future it's always good to invest in parking hahaha

No

Ok thx

[gritty crater]

I have to say, education is expensive

I'm spending 9000T in my city

[bronze moon]

it sure is, it also is in real life

education is important, so it costs quite a bit

[gritty crater]

I don't think it's important to cost so much

But learn from me, never destroy your schools

I destroyed ALL schools in my city by accident
(and not because I tried to fix them in a more efficient way)

(and I failed, now I'm spending 21,000T 👍)

[thin dagger]

was it good?

[celest moon]

Nice

[gritty crater]

Does the city have schools? If so, don't destroy them.

[thin dagger]

No, it's in sandbox mode! I'm testing a planning form to switch to easy mode

[clever jacinth]

Stœbnhæven Oil Main Refinery right next to Gustav Weimann Harbor, the Harbor named after its founder

[molten fog]

That a wierd looking boat

[clever jacinth]

It glitched out

[molten fog]

Cargo ship puglin should suitable for this

[clever jacinth]

Or it might be a feature who knows 🤷‍♂️

[clever jacinth]

The huge Maersk ones?

[molten fog]

And the Evergreen

Both look good

[clever jacinth]

They don't fit

That's the problem

The hole is too small

The ship is too big

[molten fog]

Than why you made a harbour when you know it doesnt fit

Expand the area

[clever jacinth]

It was made in 1920's relax

Besides, the port isn't that crucial

Except for the oil

That's it

Oil tankers go once every 2 months

[candid drift]

I believe admirality ship pack has some oil themed ships that may fit better.

[clever jacinth]

Lemme check

Now I have to make entire deco for the admiralty flag

Place it's buildings

[clever jacinth]

Man

That's too much work

[clever jacinth]

Ohh

[candid drift]

[fierce spruce]

A Karen would ask for your manager

[clever jacinth]

And demand the manager to give the Karen free diamonds

[fierce spruce]

That too..

[clever jacinth]

Thanks for the ship upgrade

[versed timber]

np

[candid drift]

Excuss me may I please talk to your manager 🤓

[clever jacinth]

Thanks for suggesting

Anyways can i ask smth

Should I add a secondary port to the oil refinery?

For the oil ships

[nocturne lotus]

lol..

[nocturne lotus]

My grades are phenomenal
I necessarily don't have to but I'd rather work

[nocturne lotus]

Dunno

[minor hazel]

i was just giving some advice to only build the city

[nocturne lotus]

Ar the moment I'm working on a map
For a project I've been doing FOR 3 months
I've had to reset twice

[minor hazel]

[nocturne lotus]

Because
The first time it glitched
Second time I accidentally forgot to log out of my account which made it stop at 5,000

Working on a map of north America
Trying to get every city
Currently I'm working on the Bahamas

[celest moon]

Umm, isn't TheoTown supposed to be for kids?

[candid drift]

welp

yk humanity

[celest moon]

Ah yes we humans love killing each other

[fierce spruce]

Taking into the fact that kids these days play GTAV

[visual crystal]

What is the name of this plugin that has the police car on the street? Pls!

[celest moon]

It's been removed from the plugin store unfortunately, the name is People and Prop fence pack if you're wondering

[visual crystal]

Got it, is there any other way I can download?

[celest moon]

Keyword "removed"

[visual crystal]

Can I only add plugins only through the in-game store?

[fierce spruce]

There's also the forums

Ptag forums

[formal pike]

I couldn't find any tags matching that name!

[fierce spruce]

Oh

Lemme uh

[fierce spruce]

Ptag Forum Plugins

[formal pike]

If you see a plugin on some screenshot, which you can't find in Plugin Store, try searching it on TheoTown forums (https://bit.ly/3cGrHIm). There you can find a lot of unique plugins, which are not available on Plugin Store.

[fierce spruce]

They're also free I believe

[clever jacinth]

Probably

Anyways do you know some lvl 1 commercial plugins

[fierce spruce]

Hm..

I don't believe I got any recently

[clever jacinth]

Just search

[fierce spruce]

Currently busy with random tasks, maybe I'll attempt that later..

[clever jacinth]

[compact swan]

Hi

[molten fog]

Yes

[compact swan]

Do you know how can i recreate a map of italy on Theotown?

[molten fog]

Puglin

[safe kettle]

use a heightmap

Ptag heightmaps

[formal pike]

You want to make a region that resembles a real place? Use heightmaps!

1. Go to https://tangrams.github.io/heightmapper/ and find your wanted location.
2. Make sure that the colors are right. Black will become water and white will be hills.
3. Take a screenshot and change the name (example.jpg).
4. Put the image in your TheoTown folder, not in the subfolders.
5. Go to the region generator and and type in the image name (example.jpg).
6. Enjoy your new custom region!

[visual crystal]

I got it, thanks.

[candid drift]

Wait in the forum all the plugin costs diamonds ?

There is no watching adds ?

[safe kettle]

plugin store does not equal forum showcase

forum plugins are free, store plugins are not

[clever jacinth]

Can you guys gimme some commerical plugins type T names

You can also give residential or industrial

[minor hazel]

get them from the plugin store and forum like everyone else

[clever jacinth]

I just want names, that's all

[drifting ferry]

how to level up ?

[spice rover]

have more citizens

[slow sundial]

Wow, already a megalopolis even though my city only reaches 10k pops

Game logic be like

Might as well reach infinity after i fill up the map

Even though my pop density is so low

[south bobcat]

Ah yes 🗿

[minor hazel]

lmao, how do yall end up with it so big

mine is less than a GB

[celest moon]

Cause plugin? Having alot of big maps/regions?

[drifting ferry]

Bro downloaded Almost All the plugins in the store

[worldly crest]

I remember I made a promise to myself that whatever I did, I wouldn’t download plugins that I don’t necessarily need and to not let them fill up on the main screen on the inventory. I completely broke that promise to myself 😭

[naive vessel]

should I put public housing or commercial?

[drifting ferry]

commercial maybe ?

[elder jasper]

Hi back on chatting only

[scarlet pilot]

Woah those roads are wide af

[celest moon]

Maybe both?

[clever jacinth]

I tried 😭

[fierce spruce]

It looks like an airport
That's a start 👍

[clever jacinth]

Its ugly

[fierce spruce]

That's why I said it's a start

Improvement can be achieved

[clever jacinth]

I need a path, master

[fierce spruce]

It's highly unnecessary that you address me like that, Please, Call me Intern.

And I don't really have a path, I don't often build airports..

[clever jacinth]

Give me a direction to improve on

[fierce spruce]

Well, for one, yaknow you can just
Turn pings off

And for two, I'd remove some of the parked aircraft, I don't think an airport would have that many planes at a terminal

[clever jacinth]

Ok

[clever jacinth]

Full screenshot

Removed some planes

[fierce spruce]

Does look a little better, maybe do something different with the fuel storage?

[clever jacinth]

De cluster it?

[fierce spruce]

Yeah, that.

[clever jacinth]

Added some fuel pipes too

Wait lemme fix em

[clever jacinth]

There

[fierce spruce]

Much better, definitely an improvement

[clever jacinth]

Some more deco

I might as well change the terminal later

[clever jacinth]

I am abandoning Stœbnhæven

New project time

[minor hazel]

Ive been working on this for a while

And by thisni mean landscaping lol

[candid drift]

ah blue water my eyes 🫣

[minor hazel]

:)

[minor hazel]

also its actually a flat world

[candid drift]

Thats great but water is ocean or river ?

[minor hazel]

river

[candid drift]

Okk

[magic imp]

For the photo uploading thing, how do I get it to recognize my photo’s features, like the water in the photo that it won’t put in the map, or what areas are higher and lower?

[steep canopy]

Black means lowest terrain (water), while white means highest terrain

[magic imp]

So grey is the middle I assume?

[steep canopy]

Yes

[magic imp]

And is there any way to signify where trees or desert should go?

[steep canopy]

Nope

[magic imp]

Ok thanks

[nocturne lotus]

Hey

[outer valley]

City

[fierce spruce]

That is indeed a city..

[naive vessel]

Alright

[naive vessel]

Clearly intentional :trl:

[scarlet pilot]

1 more lane

it wil fix traffic

[outer valley]

4 lanes more

That should fix the traffic

[naive vessel]

But fr tho, it's supposed to be based on an area of Guiyang, China

[fierce spruce]

Suggestions on what to put here?

Note: This is an industrial area.

[faint acorn]

Big warehouse

[fierce spruce]

It's an idea, though I already have a warehouse, and decent plug-ins for one are hard to come by..

Plug-ins that aren't modular I mean

[obtuse ore]

warhouse gud idea

[scarlet pilot]

aint no way local theotown friend

[candid drift]

I be jealous but I realize this prolly took 1000000 hours to make

[candid drift]

I downloaded the i13 road pack but i dont really understand how to use it

[drifting ferry]

what the airport plugins name ?

[candid drift]

Hey

Does taxes influence demands for zones?

For example - if I increase taxes on rich industries, does their fall?

[minor hazel]

its possible but i dont think it affects it by that much

id just provide more parks and residentials

[candid drift]

Okay

[minor hazel]

oh and services

its always a good idea to try to increase happiness

[candid drift]

Of industry and commercial

?

Nah I don't care about them.

[amber sundial]

Quick question, is theotown available in china(east Taiwan) ?

[fierce spruce]

If you can locate Theotown on the Google play store, app store, Steam, ect, it should be available to you.

[amber sundial]

Nah I mean did(or will) the CCP allow the game to be published in china?

[fierce spruce]

I honestly don't know that deep into it. All I know is that it's on the app store, and should technically be available worldwide.

[minor hazel]

you can check the store

If its not, you can use this, the official apk
https://github.com/TheoTown-Team/translations/blob/master/android-playstore-release.apk

i dont know if it helps but you can try

[amber sundial]

Is it available on the Chinese steam and appstore ?

[minor hazel]

If youre in china, cant you just search TheoToen in appstore and steam?

[tardy stump]

theotoen isnt a game

afaik

you don't have to respond if you don't have a worthwhile answer to a question

[amber sundial]

[amber sundial]

I think TCPS knows the answer

[glass drum]

This gotta be some rich kid school

[worldly crest]

I run track, and those tracks are the best!

[lean urchin]

Hello (sorry for my mispronunciations of any words of the standard English system which I used to progress this conversation formed between you and me. I hope my dialect and grammar is not an inconvenience to the operation of your daily life, and that it has not caused any variant of a headache to understand)

[lean urchin]

why 😭

because the school isnt simple rectangular polygons and has angled walls?

[glass drum]

It’s called hillside and it’s two story’s lmao I consider that a expensive school

[glass drum]

Asphalt tracks?

Bro I fell on one of those and I made my knee bleed

[worldly crest]

Ughhhhhh

[glass drum]

I think those tracks have better grip

[worldly crest]

That’s nastyyy

The black ones are for the richer schools 🤧

[glass drum]

What about tracks like this

I wish there was a Plugin like that

[glass drum]

Thinking about building this tbh

[worldly crest]

Different colors would be cool

[glass drum]

Yea

I still don’t know which one I want to build

But then there’s no track

I’m confused is the concrete supposed to be the track?

[worldly crest]

Looks like a walkway

[glass drum]

Yea

The school itself looks gaint

Giant*

[worldly crest]

Like a 5A-6A?

[glass drum]

Too boring for me to build though

[worldly crest]

Maybe a little bit

I didn’t do that on purpose. 😭

I don’t necessarily use Google maps for inspiration

[glass drum]

I use google earth

Also that’s just maps for iOS

[solar fog]

Can i have darkmode in game?

[steep canopy]

There is already

[glass drum]

Small private school

[glass drum]

also what does this mean lmfao

[glass drum]

This was a experiment
