[lunar stag]

What do the abandoned buildings look like?

[versed timber]

They are a greyed out version of the normal ones

Just darker

[lunar stag]

Hmm

[fierce spruce]

Buildings typically go abandoned from crime, indicated by a can of spray paint or a gun above a Building, so always build a police station that has coverage over your city

[lunar stag]

OH so THATS what the spray can thing means

[fierce spruce]

Yes, that would be a form of crime; Vandalism

[lunar stag]

I’ve seen that before and was like … “does that mean the pollution is too dense?”

Lol

[candid drift]

nah its just me spray painting the trees

[scarlet pilot]

bro I first thought it was mosquitoes

So I sent an ambulance

[versed timber]

Gotta make the trees green somehow

[fierce spruce]

Mosquitoes in theotown (ohmahgawd)

[scarlet pilot]

Malaria

🦟

[lunar stag]

I’m still working on a medium map layout. Trying to mess with the train system and struggling a bit to understand it. Might just stick to the bus system which I’m also trying to fully understand

[candid drift]

nope i have to deal with enough mosquitos in florida already 😩 dont add them to theotown

[lunar stag]

giant mosquito disaster

[fierce spruce]

I'd honestly wait on the train system, transport update will make them work

If it ever comes out

[versed timber]

I will save you some trouble currently trains aren't functional

[lunar stag]

Copy that. I’ll stick to taxi and busses

Speaking of busses. How does the ticket system work? You can level up the busses but it only seems to increase rider capacity a little at a time

[fierce spruce]

Pretty sure it still kinda has an effect on buildings though, since it has transport coverage

[lunar stag]

Also I don’t think I’ve seen busses actually be deployed

Unless I’m just blind lol

[candid drift]

i could only imagine my citizens happiness level if i didnt use uber.. itd be at 0 for sure

[fierce spruce]

It increases the amount of tickets you gain, and after a certain level, you get another bus added to the line

[lunar stag]

Ah I see

I figured that was the case but thanks for clarifying 😊

I used to play another city sim builder game on iOS but this one is much better (it was called pocket city)

[fierce spruce]

An example of my bus route

[lunar stag]

TT feels like a true successor to SimCity 2000 (my favorite version)

So many

[fierce spruce]

At the start, you need a level 5 bus line to gain another bus

[candid drift]

Wait people actually use the bus thing?

[versed timber]

That was the attempt!

[lunar stag]

It greatly helps with congestion in residential areas

And industrial too actually

[fierce spruce]

Pay attention to the circled text, if you reach (level number), you gain another bus

[lunar stag]

Ah now I get it, thanks

[fierce spruce]

Yep, no problem

[lunar stag]

I usually put expressways by the industrial zones. There’s always bad congestion there

[fierce spruce]

I might know the issue there

You have loads of residential & commercial connected to roads, and they all try to go to the industrial zone

Possibly try more walking paths around residential zones, will reduce road traffic

[lunar stag]

Walking paths?

[glass drum]

Sup

[fierce spruce]

Yes, sidewalks/pavement, should be the first item under Transport>roads

[lunar stag]

Oh wow, how could I completely miss that

I figured it was just another form of road. My brain is too used to SimCity mechanics haha

[fierce spruce]

All good

[candid drift]

Diversify the buildings

Same plugin but different buildings

[lunar stag]

Im guessing the houses here are poor folks

[glass drum]

It’s been 19k game days y’all think I should rebuild?

[candid drift]

Probably

Low density buildings

[glass drum]

Old mall exit route

[clever jacinth]

Bro I thought this was a cluster of homes

It looks kinda weird

Is there a way to make mpp buildings commercial?

[lunar stag]

Oh fancy street

[clever jacinth]

My Soviet block

Where do I add commercial in?

Dead channel 💀

[lunar stag]

Got some of my first high rises, woohoo

[glass drum]

New vs old

[celest moon]

It's not really dead, everyone is doing something else or they're sleeping. Except if you're a Discord Moderator

[clever jacinth]

Heheheh

[glass drum]

Still not as active tbh

This is a mostly European discord I think

[clever jacinth]

Some Asians too ig

[glass drum]

So I believe they get active when it’s night

[celest moon]

Sad there's nobody from Africa, as far i know

[glass drum]

Hehe

You may think that

Car dealership is almost done

[wet stag]

I'm waiting for the latest plugin in plugin showcase

[fierce spruce]

Send in a garbage truck so they can pick it up, or wait for it to de-spawn

Because a car accident is apparently considered to be 'garbage'

[honest crescent]

@candid drift man

[fierce spruce]

Some things you just truly need

[honest crescent]

U need that truck

[fierce spruce]

Probably in some form of industrial area

[glass drum]

Just delete them they’re considered road deco

[fierce spruce]

Wait wha

[honest crescent]

Good one @glass drum

[glass drum]

[kind geyser]

would farm be encouraged over uh

industry?

becaue they don't pollute

for early game

[lunar stag]

I tried one of those but couldn’t get it to develop

[kind geyser]

same

they won't

spawn

[celest moon]

Demand

[kind geyser]

if I put down zone

ok

[celest moon]

Look at the demands

[fierce spruce]

Just manually build a farm

[celest moon]

or use manual build

[kind geyser]

ok

oh so I don't build roads?

[celest moon]

Yea they're so slow

[kind geyser]

ok

[glass drum]

We need more American stadiums

Greenville what?

What state

[celest moon]

You could suggest it in #plugin-suggestions

[glass drum]

They don’t listen to me

[celest moon]

"Suggestions"

It won't guarantee that someone will make your suggestion

Be patience

[glass drum]

Yea so I find it pointless tbh

[celest moon]

You do realise that making plugin is hard?

It takes time

If you think is pointless then do it yourself

[glass drum]

I wish I could make it myself

I would

I would try

[celest moon]

There's plenty of tutorial

[glass drum]

You can make plugins on iOS?

[celest moon]

Maybe

[glass drum]

I’ll ask google if they know

[wet stag]

What are the best cities in Canada?

[glass drum]

You can’t

[glass drum]

Vancouver maybe or Toronto

[celest moon]

Definitely Vancouver then second place is Toronto

[glass drum]

Then there’s Winnipeg

[celest moon]

Let's continue this in #general

[wet stag]

I just heard of this town

[lunar stag]

How do you deal with noise pollution when you have very little land left?

[glass drum]

You don’t

[lunar stag]

So they’ll complain for all eternity haha

[versed timber]

Got room for trees?

[lunar stag]

Sucks to be the people living next to the gas plant

I do

Oh right, they probably help with that

[wide violet]

With dsa you can get a pollution wall

Other than that, trees as already mentioned, or rezone to make sure only commercial and public buildings are near polluting stuff, not residential

[fierce spruce]

Build DSA HQ>Upgrade to RD>Build RD>Research containment>Build Containment Facility

Or tree spam

Because carbon go into tree, and tree make oxygen

[steady umbra]

My market plugin become airport💀

[glass drum]

Lmao

[candid drift]

Good day fellow Theo Mayors.

[fierce spruce]

And to you as well.

[candid drift]

Having a good day?

[fierce spruce]

I suppose so, as for you?

[candid drift]

Between plugin hunting, and browsing both Simtropolis for SC4 mods and Workshop scenarios for Train Sim Classic, I'm good. Would you believe I'm running almost 2 gigabytes of mods for SimCity 4.

[fierce spruce]

Quite the busy one, I see.

[versed timber]

I would indeed!

I need to update my SC 4 folder

[candid drift]

My recent city in SC4 that I finished called Moraga cracked the one million population.

[versed timber]

Truth be told though my folder is about 3 GB

I just have a love hate relationship with SC 4

[candid drift]

I have another five gigabytes of plugins I rotate in and out on occasion. I love 4 due to the mod community keeping it going. But, I hate the occasional crashes to the desktop. So, I save often. Sometimes as many as ten times in a session.

My essential mods for SC4 is the CAM and of course, the NAM.

[versed timber]

Maybe we should move to #games, but I'd love to see your build

[candid drift]

I'll post them later. Not near the PC.

[versed timber]

Sound good!

[candid drift]

of all things people could have used it for, an airport?

[hybrid oyster]

people would use anything for airports if it looks cool

many people enjoy making them

[lunar stag]

So I got another Q - do most of you guys play single cities? Or do you do the regions instead

[high compass]

Both

[lunar stag]

Ah neat!

I always get bad traffic in my industrial zones. Any way to fix it aside from better roads?

[rigid crag]

Public transit… oh my

There’s no trams here

Or rail

[lunar stag]

I have a metro

[rigid crag]

Or walking paths

[lunar stag]

And a bus station

[rigid crag]

That’s not enough my good man

[lunar stag]

I had walking paths but they were getting in the way haha

[rigid crag]

I count one bus stop

[lunar stag]

I have many

At least 12 lol

[rigid crag]

This whole city would be walkable

[lunar stag]

It’s funny because the only traffic build up is in the industrial area

And that’s it

[rigid crag]

Yes, half the workers work there

They have to drive there

[lunar stag]

My commercial and residential have no issues which is good

[rigid crag]

Lack of distance I would assume

Look, roads are mid as hell, use anything else

[lunar stag]

Well yeah I always zone industrial the farthest away because of pollution

Ah I remember now, I used to do train and bus in SimCity to combat this

But the train system is kinda wonky in this

[rigid crag]

You gotta! But that means people have to commute, which you need to prove proper infrastructure so they can commute without cars

[lunar stag]

So bus only lanes it is for the entire city

[rigid crag]

Uhh

Sure man, whatever

[lunar stag]

Lol

Or at least in the industrial areas

[rigid crag]

Well Hhold

I don’t know for sure, but I think that residential drives to and from industry, and industry drives to commercial, and commercial drives to and from residential

[lunar stag]

Gonna try some bus lanes

[rigid crag]

Sure

Try and base your city off of European cities, they work a lot better and we’re build off of less corruption

[lunar stag]

I always do roads initially then get rid of them all later on once I have enough money

[rigid crag]

As Europe does too

Kk, have fun

[lunar stag]

I’m trying ahah

Seems like the bus lanes won’t work. The buses won’t deploy without them? Or will they just use the regular roads

Eh, I’ll just start over

[glass drum]

Busses work without them

[candid drift]

Guys. guess what?!

||Nuke||

[pulsar valley]

|| Why nuke? ||

[glass drum]

Because

[tame torrent]

Guys i think i downloaded the wrong game 💀💀💀

Look at this

I dont think i installed the right game

[celest moon]

TheoTown new updated map?!?! (Leak/confirmed release date/goodies) /j

[candid drift]

Hello?

[tepid hamlet]

Good morning

[candid drift]

simcity 4

[stiff gull]

Helo

[candid drift]

@tepid hamlet #bot-commands

[desert thunder]

hmm

[tepid hamlet]

thanks

[blazing jungle]

Can anyone explain what is the purpose of this building is....

[fierce spruce]

Extra income, but at the risk of your city getting nuked

[versed timber]

make ya moneh

[fierce spruce]

Must be one embarrassing headline
'National Gaurd of city accidentally nukes what they're protecting'

I mean, probably

[celest moon]

The stripe? Maybe

[high compass]

8

I think it looks neat

[wet stag]

Bus lane

Try to give one reproach

Or two

[wet stag]

Make it like this

Or

[wet stag]

Because there are dots in the bicycle path

I make 3 lines

Yellow looks good

Safety protect

[steady umbra]

Look nice

[peak hull]

thanks

what should I put here instead of commercials and residentals

[candid drift]

Make a city square

[candid drift]

What lack of residential pack does to cities

I swear there needs to be a faster way of drawing pixel art ong

[celest moon]

A park or a city square

[peak hull]

yeah

I'm currently changing the buildings to new ones

[peak hull]

thanks

[candid drift]

It's not bad

I just wish there was a way to take photos of real homes and put them in the game

As packs

Or some

Thing

Would make it faster

[peak hull]

oh

[candid drift]

With a pixel filter

[peak hull]

me too

[candid drift]

Ye

You know those san Francisco houses

Those look nice

[peak hull]

yup

I agree

[celest moon]

How are the dev gonna implement that? or is it even possible?

[candid drift]

Not devs

Basically

Pixel art

Take a picture of a house

Convert it to pixel art

And then there's that

[celest moon]

Making plugins take time, if you rush it, it will look bad and we here want quality not quantity

[candid drift]

Fair

[peak hull]

I think there is

I looked it up

[celest moon]

See these buildings? If the creator rush it then it will look pretty bad. No wonder why these buildings looks amazing

[feral mountain]

best road plugins guys?

[celest moon]

i13 road pack, custom road, and Philippine road pack

I mainly use those three

[candid drift]

Random house I found on Google earth

Pixelized it

[celest moon]

What about the perspective?

[candid drift]

Maybe if there was a better perspective

Yeah

Idk how I would find a good perspective photo without going there with a drone

[celest moon]

Also it will look pretty blurry

[candid drift]

Yeah

Maybe a better filter

Lighting and perspective

Just some random idea I had

Yeah your right

[celest moon]

This isn't gonna work

[peak hull]

what to add on city squares

concrete is done

[celest moon]

Fountain or statues?

[peak hull]

it'll work

[celest moon]

Make it look good, not just plain concrete

Like different patterns or something like that

[peak hull]

okay

[candid drift]

Np

[peak hull]

how about food parks

[plucky fox]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to tackle the coast ?

[hybrid oyster]

that wouldn't work

you need good lighting & angle

and making an irl photo in isometric projection is not possible anyway

even if you could it'd suck

[hybrid oyster]

this wouldnt be a good plugin even with a proper angle

[celest moon]

Not to mention how blurry it's gonna be

If you just gonna pixelate it

[hybrid oyster]

personally I know how to avoid blurriness

and make pictures look more like pixelart

but it'll still look worse than real drawing

drawing it is still better

even if the angle is right

you can turn 3D models into TT buildings though (I've done it once)

but it'll still look messy and need correction

gonna try it now

(I am working on it)

yeah drawing is better

I think I just should render it with more samples but I dont want to wait

but using more samples is the key probably cuz it already looks better (I also changed the lighting but I think I shouldn't do that, theotown plugins dont do atmosphere light)

[green hare]

The center of the Russian city

[empty shoal]

Nice

[tepid hamlet]

i want to pixelize this

[empty shoal]

Why is #general dead

[tepid hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/twin-towers-south-tower-north-tower-world-trade-center-flashback-gif-23538760

can somebody pixelize the twin towers for me pls

Dont know how to

[tepid hamlet]

I know right . a lot of members are online but dont talk frequently

[celest moon]

Bro think people talk on Discord 24/7 (except if you're a discord moderator)

You know people got something to do like schools, work, etc

[celest moon]

Why? You making the twin tower plugin?

[minor hazel]

go to your gallery and resixe the image

[nimble ravine]

or just sprite it yourself

cant be that hard

[candid drift]

hi, also use #general for offtopic, anything not related to theotown

[peak hull]

are there any plugins that contain benches for city Square decorations

[candid drift]

random stuff in theotown files

[minor hazel]

Basically how to fix common errors

[candid drift]

ok

[hybrid oyster]

there are several plugins already made for them

at least one on both forum and store

[candid drift]

It's decent.. aside from those insanely sized sidewalks.

[candid drift]

remove the decal.. and even on that road it prob dosen't even need a sidewalk, but the ones included on the road are big enough.

[rapid cove]

hey

ah nvm

I was going to tell you to add some pillars

[versed timber]

You all knock it off

Otherwise warns will be obtained, any questions?

[celest moon]

Thank you Evan

[versed timber]

Happy to help

[kind geyser]

thanks for clearing things up

[versed timber]

@candid drift let's not spam emojis.

Thanks

[celest moon]

I think you should reduce the stripes, it's kinda distracting. (Just a suggestion not trying to force you)

There's diagonal version, oh you mean i13 road pack?

[rapid cove]

Crying

My image got deleted

[candid drift]

you could try something like this perhaps.

ugh stupid image replies

[peak hull]

this looks boring

any suggestions

maybe I could a food park or trees?

[kind geyser]

looks great for an eastern europe dictatorship

uh maybe more green spaces?

[peak hull]

sure

[kind geyser]

and walking paths I think its a little clustered

yeah pavement would be good

[peak hull]

ohh okay

god I suck at this

[celest moon]

There's no people?

It would be pretty nice to see some food stand

[peak hull]

sure I'll add it

[peak hull]

do hedges work

[kind geyser]

yeah I think hedges will look great with that style

[peak hull]

okay

[fresh pawn]

I13 road was really a game changing

[candid drift]

its a road.. obviously

I was trying to go off and create something based of your original image.

[peak hull]

how about this

[kind geyser]

better I feel

but idk having wider streets might be nicer

like

the uh actual buildings

[peak hull]

I can't

It would ruin the grid

I've been trying to make the streets wider

but it's hard since I gotta relocate most buildings and possibly ruining it

worst mistake I did

[wet stag]

Click the road decor

Yes

[celest moon]

You can click certain road decorations to change the direction or the looks. In this case you can click the diamond to be on right side or left side on the road

[glass drum]

Sup

[rigid crag]

Huh… weird

I really thought I put a fire station nearby.. does it need a road connection to mean anything?

[versed timber]

It wants a road road

those paths fill the requirement for buildings

But no cars can use them

[celest moon]

It's working for me

(warning : Loud background noise)

[spice rover]

man

i watched the video before the warning

[keen dust]

2/10

[celest moon]

Loud ambience noise

[celest moon]

Why are you not expanding? Also the pollution

[digital raptor]

Hello guys

[celest moon]

Hi

[scarlet pilot]

put trees around industrial buildings to minimize pollution spread

[digital raptor]

I came at the invitation of the game

Guys how about my city

it is my city

[peak hull]

it would be good if they add street lights with power lines

[peak hull]

did you put the buildings manually

[digital raptor]

No but if you about skyscrapers yes I put this manually

[minor hazel]

around the skyscrapers youd build mid to high rise buildings

[peak hull]

help

my city is suddenly laggy

[minor hazel]

uninstall plugins, also close background apps

[celest moon]

The right one is by Dekuz, i think. London Shard

Don't know the left one but it looks really blurry (bad quality plugin)

[high compass]

Left one is Wuhan Greenland Center by TCPS Team

[celest moon]

Suburban areas?

Are you planning to build a port/harbor?

[heady hill]

what plug ins do you use?

[peak hull]

doesn't work

but if I go far away where there are only few residentals it doesn't lag

[celest moon]

All of them? Oh god, I'm sorry i can't there's too manh

[heady hill]

that's fine lol

[gaunt stone]

Привет

[celest moon]

[naive vessel]

I'll tell u what plugins I use: **A l l **

[peak hull]

oh it works now thank you

but I still don't know why it's laggy when I go in build mode

[digital raptor]

Hello guys how goes builds in cites

[naive vessel]

I'm sorry what?

[candid drift]

Did have stroke? 🤔

[digital raptor]

I from Azerbaijan and I not very well in English

[candid drift]

How to build city he said

[digital raptor]

@candid drift no

[candid drift]

ah

[digital raptor]

I want to say how cities are being built

[minor hazel]

using zones?

[digital raptor]

Oh ok I'm dumb

[candid drift]

not the zones 😭

[wide violet]

There's zones, there's also manual build

[candid drift]

manual building 💪

[wide violet]

Don't forget you also need services, and buildings need to be next to roads

[minor hazel]

No no, everyone starts somewhere, dont be afraid to ask questions

if youre a beginner id recommend using zones as it is easier to progress that way

but once you get better you can be a manual build pro

[wide violet]

And no you're not dumb, that's just typical noob stuff. You're new to the game, you know little if anything about it, so lots of seemingly dumb questions are really to be expected.

You get better as you learn and play

[narrow epoch]

That featured city with Mesopotamia buildings in the forest... It is very interesting ngl

[digital raptor]

Guys,I looked at the profile of my city and I'm shocked

See

Rich people:4 438
People:3 572

[rigid crag]

Real

[peak hull]

I've been having this problem for months now and I really hope someone could help me this time

the thing is I don't seem to get as much traffic even when I set it on 64x

some people said that it's a glitch but I'm confused

[celest moon]

It's working for me

[peak hull]

it works on my other towns or maps

but it doesn't on my main city

[peak hull]

I don't know why

[hardy nova]

Has someone got tips to start a town? What to build first? This is first time I play this game.

[minor hazel]

plenty of videos on youtube

personally id say to start out small

and try to increase happiness

provide what they need

avoid putting dumps and anything with ollution influence like industrials near residentials

[hardy nova]

Thank you for the tips

[scarlet pilot]

However

[fierce spruce]

Guys, Don't you think this is more of a #general thing?

[candid drift]

[scarlet pilot]

Yea sorry about that

[fierce spruce]

Hey, I'm just a lemon doing lemon things

[empty shoal]

got carried away.. sorry

🥶

[fierce spruce]

That's more or less for memes though

[pine canyon]

i do

[narrow epoch]

Why would people say coems in Roblox?

[celest moon]

Because inappropriate stuff, mostly kids saying these (not joking)

[nocturne lotus]

I may add modern houses to my waterfront

And because of my cities politics I'm gonna build some Apartment buildings

How's My wealthy residential area looking?
It looks more colorful than the actual city ik

[candid drift]

Very bland, no offense

[nocturne lotus]

Kinda the point of the city

It's not supposed to look like Vegas

[candid drift]

That's not my point there's like 0 detail.. It's just a bunch of buildings smushed together.

[elfin quarry]

Ello

[candid drift]

Howdy

[glass drum]

Question

Do citys with the name fort in them always have a military base?

[wet stag]

O

[candid drift]

pretty sure they dont always

[glass drum]

Most of the time?

For example fort myers

[candid drift]

I'd say the majority.

[elfin quarry]

Good n urs

[candid drift]

all this texturing is gonna take so long 🥲

[celest moon]

That's big, also isn't there's a terrain tools?

[candid drift]

Yes, but I dont like them.

I do it all by hand.

[celest moon]

Wow

I'd probably do the same tbh

[celest moon]

Chill, he's not like as experience as you.

[candid drift]

I technically have to do the texturing twice, first is just dirt n stuff, then after when theres structures and deco ill go over will trash, concrete and stuff

2nd part is much easier tho since fading concrete with dirt is easy

plus its on a smaller scale

[celest moon]

Shootout in Tippenard in progress. Damn this city crime rate is really high

[nocturne lotus]

Not necessarily correct
They could have been an old fort or just is named fort because yes

May change ironville to Eisenstadt

[wet stag]

L.A but in Europe

[candid drift]

chicago 💀

[nocturne lotus]

kinda basing my city off Chicago

so I may have to make a Secret police if that's possible

Something like the Stasi or NKVD

[coarse topaz]

?????

[versed timber]

Pmodmenu @frigid gyro

[formal pike]

Case #3409

FRIES#8829 was jailed for the following reason: Questioning.

[versed timber]

I'll talk to him for ya

[coarse topaz]

ty

[nocturne lotus]

Hm

I wish I could make a custom flag

[glass drum]

Wel that’s why I asked

[nocturne lotus]

Some cities were old forts
And some cities are named fort because translation or because yes

Also would anyone like to make me a flag?

[fierce spruce]

Yeah, did the same to me

[versed timber]

Got himself banned

[fierce spruce]

Well then, not gonna be seeing much of him anymore

Anyway, hi Evan

[versed timber]

👋

[fierce spruce]

How's it goin' today?

[versed timber]

Going fine, yours?

[fierce spruce]

Stressful morning, but overall I'm doing well

[versed timber]

Good to hear!

[fierce spruce]

Same to you

:3

[candid drift]

1/4 done 🥲

[minor hazel]

looks nice

[versed timber]

Big hole

[candid drift]

Very big hole.

[minor hazel]

i thought it was ground texture

[candid drift]

Just a ton of decals

all because i wanted a big hole..

[minor hazel]

i like it

how many decals?

[candid drift]

Oh lol gimme a sec

[minor hazel]

looks like around 6-10

cant count

[candid drift]

About 17 In that area

[versed timber]

Very nice textured big hole

10/10

[candid drift]

Why thank you

[minor hazel]

wait no joke, 17???

[candid drift]

even more over here..

[candid drift]

From what i could count, yes.

[minor hazel]

is that a swamp?

sounds like a lot of patience

[versed timber]

Oh wow

[candid drift]

Yeah and im only 1/4 done 🥲

[versed timber]

That gives quite the effect

[minor hazel]

you should #featured-cities when youre done 😉

[candid drift]

Maybe give me a few days lmao not anywhere near done

[minor hazel]

youre quite amazing

[wet stag]

My skyline now

I'll build a golf course

[versed timber]

What exactly are we mining for?

[candid drift]

I still have, 2nd set of decal, structures, highway, neighboring town, pipeline, Chernobourg rail network and like 25 more things to do around.

[minor hazel]

you should see where im stuck at. I did the terraforming and i build a highway and now im stuck cause thats all i know to do 🙃

[candid drift]

whatever exist in theotown

[amber sundial]

I have a serious midnight question here. Since theotown on iOS was a paid premium game on first and later made free. What did the paid users get in return ? After the game became free.

[versed timber]

They still got the perks similar to PC version

[minor hazel]

wowww, good luck

[versed timber]

Let me find the exact announcement about it

[candid drift]

Thanks, gonna need it 😅

[amber sundial]

I have the ios version and still don't have any of the perks

[minor hazel]

and then youve got to make me a tutorial so i can be like you :))
||just joking ofc||

[versed timber]

#announcements message

Well those who bought it back then should have the same perks, of course if you've gotten it since that doesn't apply

[candid drift]

ey u ever want some tips on stuff feel free to dm me.

[minor hazel]

welll

im very bad at sandbox lol

i dont make aesthetically pleasing cities

but just what i know to do

[amber sundial]

Wait if you got the premium version and delete it after it became free and reinstall it do you lose or have the premium features?

[versed timber]

That is a good question

Did you completely uninstall the game?

[amber sundial]

Nah I didn't even pay for it

[minor hazel]

what ifs?

[versed timber]

While I would imagine that it's based on it being tied to your app store, I am really not such how much of the iOS stuff works

[amber sundial]

All though my cousin bought the game on iOS and I logged into the premium version with my theotown account

[amber sundial]

Does that mean I can get premium features on iOS?

[versed timber]

Again

I assume it's tied to their app store account

rather than what in game account is being used

Of course it's an assumption, I am honestly not sure xD

[amber sundial]

Bruh you should have left it hanging there. Now I can't sleep

[versed timber]

lmao

[amber sundial]

I wonder when will a free version of theotown come to the Microsoft Store

[candid drift]

not the cliff hangars 😭 😔

[amber sundial]

Or a Amazon fire tablet

[versed timber]

I mean you could use an emulator

and I think it just to be on the tablet

[amber sundial]

Nah the performance would be gross. I rather run a native Android comparability layer on Linux than get a emulator (which I am)

[versed timber]

That's fair enough

[amber sundial]

Also own the steam version so no problem. But still whats wrong with a Microsoft Store version?

[versed timber]

That would be a question for the devs honestly

I assume too many platforms is just alot for two people

[amber sundial]

Nah it's easier now to adopt a ms store version as they have made it easier. If your game supports the fire tablet it will be supported on the ms store

Also how do I make a game suggestions ?

[jovial igloo]

use Psuggest in #bot-commands

[versed timber]

^

[jovial igloo]

(example) Psuggest your suggestion here

[amber sundial]

Oh thanks. Also long time no se chipper

[jovial igloo]

itll be longer

[jovial igloo]

looks nice

[hardy nova]

Are here some Dutch people?

[minor hazel]

yes

3 active ones

[candid drift]

no they where wiped out by the great teatown asteroid unfortunately 😔

[graceful pine]

کص پدرتون

[minor hazel]

Hey, please use #language-bar

[minor hazel]

rip TheoTown Dutchies

[rose bison]

Techno Blade never dies

[candid drift]

ok

[worldly crest]

What should I build near the top? I’m kind of stuck.

[candid drift]

Logging facility

[worldly crest]

Do you have any examples?

[candid drift]

look up pics on google

[worldly crest]

Right, right

[candid drift]

complex industry plugin has good stuff too, the link to the server is in #builder-content

[worldly crest]

Alright, thank you!

[tame torrent]

This game is pretty cool since it literally inspired theotown to be made

[versed timber]

Kinda

Go back a game or two

[tame torrent]

What simcity game then

[versed timber]

2000 xD

or 3000

Not much of a difference

[peak hull]

looks good

[glass drum]

Nice

I actually love it

[candid drift]

suburbs like the ones in Salton city California

[peak hull]

should I put a school or college here?

[scarlet pilot]

Yes

[glass drum]

Yes

College

[peak hull]

alright

.

[scarlet pilot]

Nice but looks like a bank

[peak hull]

can't find any that matches the style

[rigid crag]

I luv the admin pack

Oh I need more road stuff

[naive vessel]

Omg I found an old photo of theotown from 2016 in a fandom created for theotown

[celest moon]

Is that real?

[naive vessel]

That's the UI when I first played the game back in 2017 so yeah

Altho there is a fandom post that's dedicated to the history of the game's development

[celest moon]

Link?

[naive vessel]

https://theotowngame.fandom.com/wiki/History_of_TheoTown

[amber sundial]

where can I contact/ send a message to the devs? about a suggestions apart from the forums

[amber sundial]

I was there when it took place

god I feel old

[celest moon]

Damn, this is amazing. TheoTown has changed alot

[naive vessel]

I feel old

[amber sundial]

kingtut was the pioneer and forcing the devs to add a terrain system

he made a lot of things to game and changed it forever

without him we would have been 3 years backwards in progress

[amber sundial]

also, please can some one help me here

[naive vessel]

Glad to see and play the game since early 2017

[amber sundial]

and Fabian(the early dev ) predict the revolution mobiles would have had on the gaming and technological industry and prepared the game before any one else at that time(kinda makes me feel like he is a time traveler). Honestly this can be part of the gaming history as the first completely adapted pc title on mobile

[celest moon]

I'm not an OG player like you but damn i feel old. Seeing the game back when it was still in development (2007) TheoTown has changed alot and the community too

I'm looking forward the future of TheoTown

[amber sundial]

the new transit overhaul is something to look out for

[naive vessel]

Definitely

[scarlet pilot]

Wow

The GUI looks pain

[naive vessel]

Now u see what I had to put up with 👴

[solar fog]

Idk Why can't I have more than 832 resources?

[safe kettle]

make sure it's connected with roads to your industrial area

Ptag supplies

[formal pike]

Want to get to know how to get your DSA supplies? Make sure to build oil based industries near your DSA launchpad that way you can get the supplies as soon as possible. Just note that it will still likely take a bit of time!

[solar fog]

Thanks

[kind geyser]

hey guys

I have a wurdtion

sorry

question

for

the grey shader

nvm actually

[celest moon]

Check settings then go to graphics, if you want more then download some plugin shader.

[kind geyser]

yup

I'm using classic

personally I find it nice

though colourful is a little cartoony

[celest moon]

It's your choice, everyone has different preferences

[fickle lynx]

11099

11100 when

is 11100 going to be the transport update we have been waiting for the entire time?

[hybrid oyster]

if only

[plush ore]

Hey guys

[peak hull]

github

is the app version like that

on github

or its still the old ones

[plush ore]

I think I've asked this before too, but does anyone know where I can find the yellow line road decoration?

I tried to find it everywhere

[fickle lynx]

it's on pc? idk what you mean exactly

[plush ore]

I just got the white one

[fickle lynx]

i bought theotown on steam

[peak hull]

oh

mines still on 1.10.95

I can't update it to the newer version

too bad I don't have Google play store

[fickle lynx]

Pversion

[formal pike]

Most recent versions of TheoTown

Android

1.11.00

Desktop

1.11.00

iOS

1.10.94

Note: this will also include versions which are not yet available to regular users.

[fickle lynx]

💀

[celest moon]

Bruh Apple 💀

[fickle lynx]

well maybe 1.11.11 will be the transport update

[celest moon]

Android is superior than IOS 💪

[peak hull]

what about the transport update

does it include interesting features

[celest moon]

Just wait?

[peak hull]

no that's not what I'm talking about

[fickle lynx]

well it will overhaul a lot of the old transport system

[peak hull]

ohh

[celest moon]

It promises to add and changed how the transportation works in game. So now buses, train, and other transportation will be useful

[peak hull]

very nice

[hybrid oyster]

likely gonna be one of the biggest updates ever

[celest moon]

It's been like a while since it's been announced, i hope it will be a good one

[peak hull]

I hope the version would be available on github as soon theotown get updated

[kind geyser]

I'm looking for some ideas for a good beginner build that dosen't take up much time

any tips?

should I build in sandbox?

[candid drift]

definitely

[kind geyser]

I see

does anyone really build in "realistic" mode anymore

[candid drift]

yea, if your refering to realistic to real life.

[hybrid oyster]

I used it to but I haven't built cities in ages

personally I find non-sandbox more fun

because you actually need to play the game with some challenge

[candid drift]

I never found it fun

[hybrid oyster]

but it seems that 99% of the server dont share this viewpoint

well some people like to manage a city, and some want to just build it

nothing bad with that

[kind geyser]

oh
it seems often the build is interesting kind of like visual art

[hybrid oyster]

and then there are wateronly players

[kind geyser]

where you create something that looks really good

[candid drift]

Yea, majority of the server plays sandbox, but theres still that group that likes the regular game.

[hybrid oyster]

yeah most of the server likes the art part

[candid drift]

oh boy

[wide violet]

Largely because of the limitations of being a mobile game with only two devs, and being a game in the first place, the management aspect is lacking imo

[hybrid oyster]

true

A big part of managing cities in other games is solving traffic

and traffic management isn't a big part of this game

[candid drift]

My building's dont even touch roads 99% of the time xD

[hybrid oyster]

but it will probably change after the transport update

[wide violet]

I see a parallel with another game

[kind geyser]

I hope we won't have to have car centric cities

that would suck

[wide violet]

Like in openttd, getting rich and succeeding is boringly easy, people play to make cool stuff more often than not

[hybrid oyster]

sadly most of city builder games are kind of car centric

like cities skylines

but it still allows to reduce traffic by public transport/pedestrian roads

[kind geyser]

yeah unfortunately

I do like the pavements in theotown

[wide violet]

From what I know C:S is vanilla car centric, but it gets better with mods

[hybrid oyster]

if this system gets added to TT, it'll probably be less complicated but I hope it'll still exist

[kind geyser]

I hope trains get good modelling later

rn they improve happinness

[hybrid oyster]

less complicated because C:S actually simulates hundreds of pedestrians walking somewhere

with actual pathfinding

[kind geyser]

but don't actually rreduce trafifc

[hybrid oyster]

that won't be possible in theotown

[wide violet]

I do wonder about stores and industries being serviced directly by transit

Like is someone payed to use a wheel barrow or smth to get stuff between the station and building?

[hybrid oyster]

it'd also be cool if some non-road tiles could connect buildings with roads

maybe there could be a tag for that too

[wide violet]

so like a driveway or path?

[hybrid oyster]

so if there's 1 or 2 asphalt tiles between the building and the road, or a few buildings with a special tag, it'd be fine

kinda

[hybrid oyster]

and when building spawns a car, it still does it on the closest road

I think devs understand that

wonder if will they do something like this

[bronze moon]

🤞

[candid drift]

hole

Looks so tiny on map view lol

[minor hazel]

omg

wow

[rigid crag]

I love the quarry

[narrow epoch]

Omg this hole is HUGE

And that region wtf

[candid drift]

dont question it

[narrow epoch]

Not joking, this hole is bigger than my biggest city I ever did in Theotown

[candid drift]

tiny hole 🤏

[rigid crag]

I think it’s pretty average

[candid drift]

I'd like to see a bigger one

[rigid crag]

Lord have mercy that is a challenge

[empty shoal]

what are those pipe plugins? I bet it’s in forum… what’s the name of those?

[versed timber]

Is that one CI or Yussuf?

Can't remember

[candid drift]

Im pretty sure its in the plugin store too, I wanna say its called yusuf's industrial pack

I really cant remember

[empty shoal]

To make a huge hole… just chuck in all of humanity’s 15K nukes and create a 100km crater

That simple

[candid drift]

didnt work already tried

[empty shoal]

Dam… try again on the same nuclear site but when humanity gets 30k nukes instead

[peak hull]

can anyone give me suggestions on my square so I can add something and improve

[versed timber]

The square itself is quite good

If you're looking for something to improve maybe focus on the sections around the park

[peak hull]

okay thank you

[candid drift]

Maybe add some grass sections, try using sc4 fan's trees, and the roads surrounding need some improvement.

[peak hull]

hm okay I'll try adding some but what do you mean by road surrounding?

[celest moon]

I think he meant the roads need more detailed.

Like crosswalks, light, sign, etc

[rigid crag]

Crude attempt at a particular bank in north Hollywood

[candid drift]

Fun fact you can get plugins for free!!!

insane

[tardy stump]

so insane

[peak hull]

oh

the thing is I'm trying to evolve my city year by year so that's why it's still less detailed

[scarlet pilot]

Thanks man I never knew I could get them for free!!

[gusty ginkgo]

Hm

Vehicles aren’t showing up

Only in regions

Also do not ask

[fierce spruce]

Well thats an issue, I'd honestly try consulting #1085157639706640414 and see if the devs, or one of the admins could help.

Unless it was intentional, then carry one

[gusty ginkgo]

Hm

Here is a test

[fierce spruce]

That is certainly an odd occurrence..
What is the most recent plug-in(s) you installed?

[gusty ginkgo]

Vehicles work in single cities

[fierce spruce]

Doesn't seem like any of those would cause any problems..

When did this occurrence start happening, if by any chance you know?

[fierce spruce]

Ah.. Well that's interesting

[gusty ginkgo]

Yesterday

I download some more plugins

But i got rid of some

[fierce spruce]

Right, and which ones exactly?

[gusty ginkgo]

Those wer the ones i kept

Lemme check

If it was any it might be the duck lol

[fierce spruce]

Yeah, maybe try removing all plug-ins you've downloaded yesterday, and see if it works.

[naive vessel]

Rubber ducky awww

[fresh pawn]

Rubber duck 🔥

[dense rock]

Hi, how can I upload in tips-n-tricks?

[gusty ginkgo]

I just downloaded it to make a meme

[gusty ginkgo]

I did and there isnt a change

[versed timber]

You to be a certain level

[dense rock]

What level and how to level up?

[versed timber]

Being active levels you up

[dense rock]

Thnx for answering, anyways, what about what level do you need to be to upload in tips n tricks?

[versed timber]

Honestly don't remember

[empty shoal]

I CANT FEEL MY HANDS… HELP

[dense rock]

Hey guys, any plugin suggestions to make my city look more medieval(seigneur is already on my list)??

[spice rover]

age of sail

[amber sundial]

a yo admins can I edit my game suggestion?

[vague matrix]

you can submit another

theres no way to edit them

[amber sundial]

oh okay then

well then an some one delete my suggestion \

[hybrid oyster]

Sure

Oh nvm I think I can't

Ja can probably

[minor hazel]

i dont think you can edit it

[hybrid oyster]

I mean removing

[minor hazel]

ye we cant

[amber sundial]

hey can u delete my suggestion?

re-posted by accident gain and also delete both of them

@hot crypt can u delete the suggestion please

[hot crypt]

Only Ja can

Also not the best suggestion

For that to happen they would need to make a Partnership with Microsoft

Maybe a free pc version wouldn't be a problem but idk the devs would do it

[minor hazel]

i just said that we cant, only admins can

[minor hazel]

you can ask ja to

if you ask nicely, i dont think hell mind

[amber sundial]

Its quiet easy to get a game uploaded there and also I made a detailed post on this topic on the forum( https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=18121 ) If anyone's against the idea I just want to debate and try to understand their perspective.

[hot crypt]

Like I said. Slide that to the devs

[amber sundial]

also ja who ?

[hot crypt]

Just Anyone

Wanna ping him?

[amber sundial]

yes please

[hot crypt]

@mellow kettle this is for you

[amber sundial]

can I get their mail then ?

[hot crypt]

[e-mail]

[amber sundial]

thanks

[mellow kettle]

I don't see how your next suggestion is different, but alright

[amber sundial]

delete both of them

[vital igloo]

@amber sundial you know, that's not possible at all. They have to earn money somehow, plus theotown on PC has multiple benifits, such as no diamonds. Oh and if I remember correctly, there are some services that allow you to play gamea from your phone
