Saadge

[jaunty ivy]

I want to maybe make a zones plugin with dependencies

That's possible right? Or am I going insane?

[candid drift]

It's possible if hardcoded into the game I think

Like, having specific tag system

Or based on population in that building

[jovial igloo]

rank names changed?? never seen "locality" before

[iron magnet]

I think theotown should add office zones

[jaunty ivy]

Plug-in with more realistic things

[candid drift]

Still, population count does not guarantee urban or suburban type of buildings

[iron magnet]

Wats daf

[jovial igloo]

the rank

think it was like.. settler before

[jaunty ivy]

It renames the ranks

[iron magnet]

Changed my mind

[jovial igloo]

commercial

i guess

idk

[jaunty ivy]

It would be nice if there's some way to control building height with zones using the "height" number. That would work for plugin buildings

[jovial igloo]

wdym?

[candid drift]

The vanilla ranks are pretty realistic tho, I learned the names from geography science championship training exams

[jovial igloo]

as in only builds 3x3?

[jaunty ivy]

Nevermind, I misunderstood something

[jovial igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-jonathan-banks-mike-ehrmantraut-smh-shake-my-head-gif-4771286

[jaunty ivy]

Something like that

[candid drift]

I also learned a bunch of geology and geography stuff that could help me make more realistic mountains and nature, and a bunch of city shapes theories based on their geographical locations

[jaunty ivy]

Or only 1x1s

[jovial igloo]

tbh yeah, would be pretty nice i guess

i still use zones for like..

harbor and stuff

[candid drift]

I guess school is actually useful for once!

[jovial igloo]

well not alot

its a mix

[river quartz]

[jaunty ivy]

Well, I'm used to the ones I'm using now

Proper TT lore

As showcased in DSA

[candid drift]

Omg theotown lore just dropped

[jovial igloo]

🤨

[jaunty ivy]

Theotown plugin maker doesn't work for me

Is there something I don't know?

[jovial igloo]

uh

probably down

TT server has been having some stroke lately

give it a couple of hours

maybe days

[jaunty ivy]

Forums and the plug-in store works for me

[river quartz]

destroys this building after showing it

[jovial igloo]

what are you trying to make?

whoa, wha---

level 3 already

[jaunty ivy]

I'm trying to make a city with no RCI manual building

[jovial igloo]

lol, gl

[jaunty ivy]

I need to add cement underneath the entire commercial zone because of some buildings made with transparent floors

[jovial igloo]

cant even see under the commercial zone

[jaunty ivy]

This bugs me

[jovial igloo]

well cover iy

it

[candid drift]

RCI?

[upbeat wedge]

Bug

The description

[jaunty ivy]

Can you scroll up?

It might also be your ui size

[jaunty ivy]

No manually placing residential, commercial, or industrial

[jovial igloo]

tbh tbh tbh!

[candid drift]

This actually looks not as bad as I thought it would

[jovial igloo]

once you got like.. a building that you liked got built

just set it to untouchable

[candid drift]

Omg this reminds me of my vanilla only city

[jaunty ivy]

The thing that annoys me is the industry area

[jovial igloo]

well they never look good really if you use zones..

[jaunty ivy]

None of the businesses make sense

[candid drift]

Yea it's a hard cope

[jaunty ivy]

Oh yeah, the reason I wanted to use the plugin maker was to make different zones for different sizes of buildings

[candid drift]

Ugli as hecc

[candid drift]

Oh dang

[jovial igloo]

is such a thing even possible to make?

[candid drift]

I actually wanna see you succeed on this

[jovial igloo]

well probably but kinda hard i guess

[candid drift]

Yeah I think it's almost impossible?

[jaunty ivy]

I dunno. It'll be possible with the vanilla buildings I think

[candid drift]

Since each plugin doesn't have a general "tagging" sytem that is consistent with other plugins

[jaunty ivy]

What I'll need to do is add them into the game myself and make different zones only able to make the buildings I add

[jovial igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/what-why-huh-steve-harvey-confused-gif-17449734

so.. youll go into the world texture and--

nyeh i see that happening

but tiring tho

[jaunty ivy]

Say hypothetically I make a plug-in with 10 buildings, and all those buildings are all 3x3s. That'll be my industrial 3x3 zone

[candid drift]

Oh like them plugins that only spawns buildings from their puglins

[jaunty ivy]

Exactly

[candid drift]

Yeayeaeyaeyaeyaeya that's a good idea

Goodluck with it

[jovial igloo]

tho..

really, making all of these

[jaunty ivy]

Then I could have the buildings inside match a theme to further subdivide it

[jovial igloo]

is harder than manually placing them yourself 💀

[candid drift]

More work than actually placing manually wheeez

[jovial igloo]

longer and take way more time

[candid drift]

But it's like an investment tho

[jaunty ivy]

(suburban and urban, polluting industrial, and clean)

[jaunty ivy]

When I manually build the thing I dislike the most is that the city doesn't grow and expand

[jovial igloo]

true

but still

[jaunty ivy]

It doesn't change all the time, it's just static

[jovial igloo]

or really just like

mix manual build with zone

[candid drift]

Welp, it still grows, with the each building that you place technically wheez

[jaunty ivy]

At least with what I want to do, I could make individual lots for buildings to be built on with decorations already made for that building

[candid drift]

I see I see

[jaunty ivy]

That's what I want

[candid drift]

Like I said, it's like an investment

[jovial igloo]

well goodluck then i guess

[jaunty ivy]

I also want to make different distinctions for the different types of commercial

[candid drift]

Once you made it it'll be smooth sailing from there

[jaunty ivy]

Mid-rise, high-rise, retail, stuff like that

That's another thing that bothers me

Don't even get me started on the farm zones

Eventually there's nothing to even farm, it's just buildings

[candid drift]

I mean decal farms exists

[jaunty ivy]

Ehhhh, manual building again

[jovial igloo]

the last city i build using zone

[jaunty ivy]

I know it exists

[jovial igloo]

what about farms?

[jaunty ivy]

The buildings they build fill in the space

[jovial igloo]

ohhhh

ohhhh yeah

not a single rice field

all building

[jaunty ivy]

Yup

[jovial igloo]

lol

also do you not want to place decorations manually in your city-

[jaunty ivy]

I'm thinking about making a zone specifically for industrial decoration residential decoration and commercial decoration

So...

Maybe?

Probably not though

[jovial igloo]

mane, its like everyone out here using electric powered tools whch is easier and quicker to use
but you out here tryna go with the steam engine that hard to use and people dont use anymore

[jaunty ivy]

The idea is you make different lots with the building zones and then you zone The empty area with the decoration zone so it automatically fills in everything

But I don't think that will work because zones aren't RCI buildings

[jaunty ivy]

I'm the type of guy who inside a factory game would spend hours upon hours doing something to automate it instead of doing it myself in an hour

[jovial igloo]

tbh, i kinda get how the plugin youre making would work /shrug

[candid drift]

I mean it's def making your life easier when all are automated

[safe kettle]

sooo just rectangle placement for these?

[jaunty ivy]

Well, kinda

[candid drift]

Basically yeah wheez

[jaunty ivy]

They'll definitely look better place manually though

[safe kettle]

you might as well just inherit these drafts and use "frame alignment area"

[candid drift]

Tbh the game needs it

[jaunty ivy]

What zone type should I try to work on first? Industrial?

[safe kettle]

that's a cursed railway

[jovial igloo]

very

think i was avoiding hills or something

dunno

[candid drift]

Hardest ones or easiest ones first

[jaunty ivy]

The thing is with industrial I think that one will have less subdivisions besides size

I'm going to try separating it into polluting industry, noisy industry, and clean industry

[candid drift]

Alright

[jaunty ivy]

Clean industry are things like warehouses

[jovial igloo]

warehouse make noise

every industrial has negative impact

[lean pier]

OU

[candid drift]

Hello there

[jaunty ivy]

Not enough to be heard blocks away though

[jovial igloo]

oh, but i guess youre trying to make your own warehouse

uh.. a what now-

[jaunty ivy]

File manager app I like more than Zarchiver

[jovial igloo]

i.. have not a single clue that is

just use your main file app

*also rip plugin space 🌚 *

[candid drift]

You could use whatever you like it doesn't matter as long as it works

[jaunty ivy]

Thanks man

[normal pilot]

Does (transportation) mean I need to upgrade roads?

[zealous ingot]

Guys for advice in my specific city where can I post sc of it to ask for help?

I wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out why the heck is there so much traffic at my industrial section lol

[versed timber]

Transportation is everything apart from roads

[versed timber]

You can send it here

[normal pilot]

Oh okay

[normal pilot]

So I should build like bus and taxis

[versed timber]

Yes

[normal pilot]

What would it say if I need to upgrade the road to something better

[zealous ingot]

I have all this part on red (also I place roads as I go, Ik I should plan them first lol)

[versed timber]

Likely just based on where the industrial vehicles trying to get to different commercial areas. In the future I would suggest spreading the commercial zones out more

[versed timber]

No, like I said

It involves everything apart from roads

[normal pilot]

Yeah yeah

[zealous ingot]

If any other information is required I can send more, I am just trying to see if I can solve the problem for fun and giggles haha

[zealous ingot]

Oh

Oh wait Ik it probably makes sense but so commercial zones are connected to industrial right?

That's so clever I never noticed that even tho it's pretty much common sense 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[versed timber]

In the future the best way to deal with that is spreading out your zones some

[zealous ingot]

Got it

So like having a whole block of one would be better and so on, right?

And having roads that connect them that are a bit long so a lot of traffic doesn't form

[versed timber]

Long blocks in what way?

[zealous ingot]

Not sure if I got it right

[zealous ingot]

So kind of like in this example

That Trickstar used

Or I probably got the memo wrong lol

[versed timber]

Oh I mean that's kinda what you did already

But on a smaller scale

What I mean is spread out your commerical areas abit more

[zealous ingot]

True

[versed timber]

Rather than having a cluster

[zealous ingot]

Oh, so like have commercial places mixed in with some residential

[versed timber]

yeah!

[zealous ingot]

Got it!! Thx

So in my case since my layout is a bit bad (specially the zone placements) my city is kind of screwed in that specific spot, unless I change the zones, right?

[versed timber]

I mean your on a fairly small map so I wouldn't say it's that big of a deal

But for larger maps, and for when you start over I'd keep that in mind

[zealous ingot]

Got it, thx for the advice

Well for now, Ig uess my citizens are gonna suffer of great stress from going to work and the non-movable traffic 😆

[candid drift]

That map is the same size as mine and I filled it up with 2 million people

Then again there's a big river parting my city

[zealous ingot]

Oh that's not my city tho

It's @pale copper 's

[minor hazel]

Noo how did that get past

[jaunty ivy]

It's not just that one but two of the packs I downloaded from the same people are like that

[real valve]

Why has my TTT population plateaued

[steel schooner]

I feel like never asking anything in here again when the replies I get are to "lower the volume"

Other than power, water, fire, police
Here are the basic needs of different buildings:

Residential
: health
: health + park + low education
health + park + sport + low education + high education

Commercial
: (none extra)
: park
: park + sport

Industrial

[minor hazel]

does placing these buildings help?

[real valve]

I have uber on

[minor hazel]

whats the TTT buildings lowest happinesses

[minor hazel]

that is irrelevant

[real valve]

They're all mostly religion at 100% happiness

[minor hazel]

uber does not mean they dont need those services to move in

[minor hazel]

yeah but that happens on uber

no

Any

Just effective

[minor hazel]

go to settings, gameplay, traffic volume to 25%

a

[jovial igloo]

wdym 1 path at the same time

[spiral geyser]

4 raods

Roads

And they take only 1 toad

Road

[minor hazel]

thats how TT traffic logic works lol

youve gotta give the different roads different destinations

and also make them one way

that would help

also if its industrial caused traffic

spread out the industrials

I never tried it, I think it's not possible?

[daring bison]

hi guys and girls. Can you tell me why half of my plugins are not displayed?

[candid drift]

It's for a single city right?

[daring bison]

Help me please. I play this game just a little bit

[minor hazel]

you cant

[minor hazel]

can you elaborate where they are from etc?

[jovial igloo]

a little elaboration on "not displayed" would be nice

[daring bison]

all of them are officially downloaded in the game.

[jovial igloo]

okay

[minor hazel]

are they not in the plugins tab?

or not show up on store downloaded?

[carmine spindle]

G'morning All.

[minor hazel]

morning ikey, nice to see you up

[daring bison]

they don't appear at all

[carmine spindle]

I slept awful.

[jovial igloo]

sreenshot it

[minor hazel]

Have you restarted the game after installing them?

[jovial igloo]

sorry but #general would be more fitting

[carmine spindle]

That was all I was going to say

[minor hazel]

chipper, ive got this

[daring bison]

It's like I have a plugin for a motel. It's in the plugins. but it’s not there anywhere other than downloaded plugins

[jovial igloo]

motel??

what motel

[daring bison]

but if you look for it here, it’s not there. and rebooted everything after the download

[minor hazel]

check manual build

[steep canopy]

RCI buildings only appear on the manual build menu

[carmine spindle]

(or if you search it's building type. Like residential, industrial, commercial,)

[daring bison]

How can I start a manual build?

[minor hazel]

its likely under residential but you may have to go through all 3 types

[daring bison]

Thank you 😁

[minor hazel]

it should spawn via zone though!

unless the creator turned that off

[daring bison]

Thanks again for your help, I figured it out 😁

[jovial igloo]

ya found it?

[daring bison]

Yes

[minor hazel]

hm?

[jaunty ivy]

I'm just surprised how many I have

[jovial igloo]

smh

[jaunty ivy]

😔

[hybrid junco]

um

[jaunty ivy]

Huh?

How many of them are good

[jovial igloo]

probably 40%

[jaunty ivy]

Lots of plugins I see don't have the right scale or they just look bad

[hybrid junco]

i think in only 30 percent of it

[jaunty ivy]

Hm

[open verge]

And here is the record holder)

By the way, is it a bug or not?

[jaunty ivy]

How wide is one grid piece?

1*1?

[safe kettle]

"wide" in what

meters? pixels? apples?

[jaunty ivy]

Meters

Sorry

[safe kettle]

honesly your best bet would be to take a look on the map size measurements and calculating it yourself

for plugin creation something like a 10x10 meters square should be realistic enough

[minor hazel]

a message in plugin discussion says vertical distance is 7 pixels is 4 meters

[jaunty ivy]

That's vertical

[safe kettle]

and how is that relevant

[jaunty ivy]

Don't build your residental next to industiral areas

Simple enough

[candid drift]

I had a massive downspike during the year 70 when a huge fire engulfed my city

[jaunty ivy]

I once had a massive city on my phone, and a disease spread and killed 90% of my population

[candid drift]

Wow

[jaunty ivy]

I was gone to take a break, thinking it would be ok. Trash piled up though

[hardy night]

make sure to be covering atleast alot of ground with the park influence

i suggest you try the beautiful parks plugin

its in the store

[candid drift]

Last time I had a disease In my city it only killed a hundred people

[normal pilot]

I have 100% park coverage

[hardy night]

can you show me a screenshot of it?

[versed timber]

Again...

This will slove your issue

I'd bet my soul on it

[jaunty ivy]

That's all you need to do ^

Commercial doesn't care about pollution

Personally, high wealth commercial should but that's just me

[hardy night]

follow what evan said

maybe your residential is too close

Hey guys who is pickle

[jovial igloo]

what are these for?

[minor hazel]

those are placed near runways at the airport and are labels for the runway. So pilots can keep track of which runway they are taking off from etc

i think thats what that is

kinda like B12 or E64 if you get what i mean

[vernal rock]

uhhh, any ideas on how to expand from here on?

[minor hazel]

looks like youre doing well so far

press a building to see what their lowest happiness is

thats how i usually build on

[vernal rock]

lemme see

[minor hazel]

then provide those influences near those houses

if its above 90, i usually ont bother much

[vernal rock]

so it's normal to destroy zones and rebuild?

[minor hazel]

yeah its fine

[vernal rock]

lol they all need something "cultural"

[minor hazel]

Ptag culture

The number next to the building name denotes the influence provided by the building. The buildings under the landmarks and awards are all vanilla. Landmarks costs diamonds to place (on mobile). The plugins in the image are only some plugins that provide cultural influence. You may be able to find many more on the plugin store.

[minor hazel]

try that <3

[vernal rock]

my population is gonna drop if I have to destroy zones to build this stuff

rip

[minor hazel]

you can buildit back up

[vernal rock]

I don't have space to expand though

if I expand any further, I'll expose them to the industial noise and pollution

plus I need the edges for the train F

[minor hazel]

do the tree trick

[vernal rock]

that works too ig

feels like I'm cheating but I guess it is what it is lol

[minor hazel]

wait

theres another option

commercial zones dont care about pollution

you can keep them directly next to industrial

i usually surround insustrials with commercials

then put residentials

[vernal rock]

ohhh reallt?

rip I gotta rebuild lol

wait a sec, can't I just build huge housing grids on one corner, and surround them with commercial zones followed by industrial zones?

I have a question, what are the conditons for zone growth?

for example, what would the conditions required for a sky scraper in the residential zone?

[upbeat wedge]

Y'all building city by sandbox or playing difficulty?

[vernal rock]

uhhh do industrial areas need schools?

[jovial igloo]

No?

[vernal rock]

then why's my education stuck at 85% x_x?

I've fiven my area schools every where

[jovial igloo]

Low eeucation, high education

Make sure theyre all covered

[vernal rock]

ah yeah, I haven't unlocked high education

Still at small city

guess I'll just replace all the schools with big elementary schools

Other than power, water, fire, police
Here are the basic needs of different buildings:

Residential
: health
: health + park + low education
health + park + sport + low education + high education

Commercial
: (none extra)
: park
: park + sport

Industrial
- : (none extra)

[minor hazel]

refer to this

[river quartz]

what

i didn't had it before

[jovial igloo]

can i not undo placing something??

[vernal rock]

ahh so wealthy = skyscrapers?

also, do you have any suggestions on how to get a train and elevated train system working? my town seems to struggling a bit on the transportation side of things

This kinda what it looks like

[minor hazel]

no taller is skyscrapers

you can also manually place them

just go to manual build

[small cedar]

One

[vernal rock]

ohhhh

rip I thought I was getting somewhere x_x

[minor hazel]

jraiiym

[vernal rock]

ummm this too lol

@minor hazel

[minor hazel]

funfact

you dont need a working system

if you want to you can but i just randomly place stations and not connect them

they just like the influence

[vernal rock]

but the thing is that it sorta eats into my zone area

[minor hazel]

they can go over roads but not buildings

yeah

[vernal rock]

bruh what?

[minor hazel]

that it does sooo

[vernal rock]

mine doesn't go over roads

[minor hazel]

just place the stations only without connecting them

[vernal rock]

unless you're talking about the metro

[minor hazel]

no elevated train

put the station, not the rails

they like the influence from it

[vernal rock]

ohhh

[minor hazel]

stations give influence, the tracks dont

[vernal rock]

that's so weird lol

but okay I'll just spam build them

[minor hazel]

best use of trains xD

i only discovered i can do that the other day

they dont look good but eh

[vernal rock]

how people even discover such things is beyond me 😅

I hope I don't regret trying the medschool mod x_x

[minor hazel]

welllll, ive found enough bugs and stuff by just messing around lol

[vernal rock]

guess it comes with experience ig

[minor hazel]

it comes with trying to make people happy and saving money

[vernal rock]

can't disagree

ugh my population is stuck at 4500-5000

fml

[minor hazel]

build denser buildings

which are taller so theres more capacity

[vernal rock]

all my zones are switched to dense

plus all my satisfaction criteria at 96+ or around 96

except for taxes that's at 79.8 lol

[minor hazel]

youre doing great then

[vernal rock]

I don't have place to expand anymore though

[minor hazel]

thats when you start building in the maps around :)

[vernal rock]

how do people get populations of 70k then?

[minor hazel]

try the tribunal region

its big

theres more spcae so you can build more stuff and get more people

[vernal rock]

ohhhh so the tutorial map is limited to this?

ugh what a waste of a day

[minor hazel]

nop

there are bigger maps

in the top for instance

[vernal rock]

ohh yeah

[minor hazel]

i wouldnt say that

you learnt a lot

[vernal rock]

true that

[vernal rock]

any good seeds that you could recommend?

also can you save a region?

[minor hazel]

Ptag seed

[formal pike]

"Map Seeds" seed is a number or text string which is used to procedurally create the game world map. source: wikipedia
But in TheoTown there are many special seeds. You can check #seeds-n-maps pinned messages.

[minor hazel]

a region is the whole group of maps

the arrows in region view lets you switch regions

i believe theres 3 automatic regions now

• flat earth
• tribunal

i forgot the last one

[vernal rock]

tibunal is the tributary map right?

[minor hazel]

i forgot the 2nd one

yes i mispelled that

[safe kettle]

tribunal

idiot

[vernal rock]

it says theonia

[safe kettle]

yes

that's the third one

[vernal rock]

guess I'll just try the tribunal map from the tutoral seed

[minor hazel]

yeah forgot abt theonia

[minor hazel]

uwu

[vernal rock]

wait a sec

for this, can I just make 3 huge rectangles with Residency --> Commerical --> Industrial?

[minor hazel]

you could but like

its not a good idea to cluster industrials because of all the traffic

[vernal rock]

yo this is way too big lol

[minor hazel]

but technically you could

[vernal rock]

oh yeah with the tree buffer trick I can place industries wherever I want

[minor hazel]

kulche i love your region, im already 5 hours in and i dont think ill ever be able to cover the whole map much less the region 😭

[safe kettle]

enjoy

[minor hazel]

i havent even finished flat earth

[minor hazel]

mhm :>

im sure ive got some screenshots of how i zoned mine somewhere

[vernal rock]

haah, this map is wayyy to big

any tips on where to start?

[minor hazel]

do you ever play on them

[minor hazel]

i started on the top left

[safe kettle]

I told you I don't play the game

[minor hazel]

theres a starter town there

[safe kettle]

yeah because I built it

[minor hazel]

makes sense

[vernal rock]

ahhh okay

thanks

[minor hazel]

i saw you had like a couple of minutes on TT recently lol

while i was going through list of friends who play TT

[safe kettle]

I do open the game

I don't play it

[minor hazel]

i know

:>

[minor hazel]

hmm

[river quartz]

i also met this thing

[minor hazel]

whyyy

[safe kettle]

?????

what is your problem

[river quartz]

why

WHY

why it is real

why you will deprecate plugin without manifest

[versed timber]

Because since it's introduction manfiests have been needed for plugins you intend to use in online mode

It's not our fault people can't read/just don't add them

[river quartz]

but will they still available for singleplayer?

[minor hazel]

i mean like when im making my own plugins and just testing out i dont think i should need to use one

[jovial igloo]

What about private plugins tho?

Or old plugins

[minor hazel]

also i realised my airport planning is horrible because theres a road separating both runways

[versed timber]

Just ignore it

[minor hazel]

an elevated road

[versed timber]

As it as a warning

[minor hazel]

i mean warning makes it seem they wont be usable after x date

[versed timber]

Ignore it like y'all do everything else smh

Or better yet

Update them

[jovial igloo]

Think im gonna copy my city files tmr

[minor hazel]

making manifest files are boring

[river quartz]

but does plugin without manifest would be still working

[minor hazel]

i usually make them after im entirely done

[versed timber]

Is the sky blue

Is the ocean made of water

[minor hazel]

"future compatibility may not be garuanteed"

[river quartz]

jeez

ehh

some plugins will go to trash

[minor hazel]

i dont like manifest files

they can go die

[safe kettle]

it's your problem

[minor hazel]

they arent even fun to write

[river quartz]

i need to trow away londoncuz plugins

[safe kettle]

the inability to create a proper plugin isn't an excuse

[versed timber]

If they're zip files just make your own manifest for them xD

[minor hazel]

well thats one good thing coming out of it

private plugins

[versed timber]

It's not stupid complex

[minor hazel]

after 6 and a half hours 😭

how do people do this

[candid drift]

Do what

[safe kettle]

you just place zones randomly bunny

it really isn't that hard

[candid drift]

That does look random though

[minor hazel]

but its so slow

[candid drift]

Use fast speed

[minor hazel]

i am

[river quartz]

need to trow also my private plugins i got

[minor hazel]

ibve been on max speed thw whole time

[versed timber]

Also manifests aren't an issue if you just play singleplayer

[minor hazel]

70 million theons and still cant go to the moon

[river quartz]

oof

[versed timber]

It's literally not a big deal unless you make it one

[candid drift]

What's the taxes

[minor hazel]

6.5%

[river quartz]

Plugins without manifest will not work on multiplayer

[candid drift]

Make it so to get to the industry, they have to use a tolled freeway

I used to do that

[minor hazel]

no thanks

my income is good

[safe kettle]

they never did

that's the whole point of a manifest...

I have no idea whatever you're all crying about

[versed timber]

Now zip files just get a warning about it

[river quartz]

no need to trow away my plugins

[jaunty ivy]

I don't play multiplayer and many others don't

[river quartz]

same

[minor hazel]

ohhh lol i thought it meant plugins without manifests wont work at all

[safe kettle]

I have no idea whether they will work or not

but manifests are still an important security/identification feature

and pretty much all games that have community content use them

[minor hazel]

im only spending 52k

insane income

[jaunty ivy]

I just like making large chaotic urban landscapes

[safe kettle]

it's all zoned but the american buildings plugin makes it look pretty nice

at least from a distance

[jaunty ivy]

I like it because it looks like it belongs together

[minor hazel]

chaos

Lukas King made fire music that i can hear even after i close the game

[jaunty ivy]

100k pop

One day, I'll start on a region sized city square and get one million

[minor hazel]

Sooo loking at this chart and other information i gathered

does a nuclear reactor use up energy to make energy?

i had enough electricity till i put a nuclear reactor and suddenly i needed 3 for some reason

placing one reactor and energy consumption went to 174% which is insane and i still have no idea how that happened

[jaunty ivy]

Now 140k

[tough fractal]

Is that single city?

[jaunty ivy]

Yeah

[tough fractal]

@jaunty ivy How do you took a screenshot of your city?

[jaunty ivy]

Open the menu and scroll to "take map picture" or whatever it's called

[loud vector]

Hello, a question here at theotown, how are the plugins made?

[tardy stump]

check pinned messages in #plugin-discussion

[minor hazel]

hello, could you possibly share the city file with us?

[spice rover]

i used plugins for to much that i just found out that these two buildings are vanilla

[celest moon]

Same lol

I'm pretty sure Kulche made those. Very nice looking buildings

[spice rover]

i agree

how come i never see someone use them tho

[versed timber]

They are very new

[spice rover]

ah

[versed timber]

Can't say I've seen em

[celest moon]

I used them

The building on the left

[spice rover]

i used the building on the right a lot

[wide violet]

Thing about vanilla buildings is there's a lot of them, so you really have to look through every category of manual build a million times before you know what is and what isn't vanilla

[minor hazel]

kulche stuff always look very cute and pretty

and lifelike

[safe kettle]

I'm glad you like it

they've been added really quietly some months ago lol

they were supposed to have rotation and height variants but I guess lobby forgor

[celest moon]

Wait what?!

[vernal rock]

any road management guides? I just build the fastest road I have and pray for the best lol

[jaunty ivy]

Learning road hierarchy is useful

Also, industrial generates the most traffic

[vernal rock]

where do I learn that?

[vernal rock]

Yeah, I haven't figured out how to deal with that yet, but my current counter measure is to keep upgrading the roads, and eventually switch to 4 lane roads

[vernal rock]

Hope so, because I have no idea how roads and transportation works lol

[carmine spindle]

It's pretty simple just don't overthink it

If you ever need more help just ask around though

[vernal rock]

thanks! will do!

also, can you combine building plug ins?

[carmine spindle]

What do you mean?

[vernal rock]

Like there is a with japanese buildings and a soviet building plug in

[carmine spindle]

Like download multiple?

Yes

Go wild lol

[vernal rock]

so can I have both of them on the same map?

lmao, I just wanna build everything everywhere for just the heck of it

[carmine spindle]

Same with all the other plugins.

[vernal rock]

ahhh okay perf!

[pale copper]

After 22 hrs

Taxes 10.5 for poor and middle and Rich 12

They are happy about everything else except for taxes

[candid drift]

First of all how do u get so much money except taxes? Second of all how u have 2m population i wanna be a pro jst like yall

[pale copper]

Lol thanks

I've been working on it for a month

[candid drift]

I need tips

[pale copper]

Ok

To get effective zoning use the grid road layout

It's the most effective

[candid drift]

In plugin shop?

[pale copper]

No

U can make it yourself

It's just squares

[candid drift]

Am literally so new just not knowing whats a grid road layout

Oh

U mean residential zones stuf in square shape

[pale copper]

Lemme take a screenshot to show u

[candid drift]

Ok thanks

[pale copper]

Basically just squares

U can ask any question

[candid drift]

Oh so the road must be
Iike square and will it effect my population to best?

[pale copper]

Yeah

Any other question

?

[brave echo]

Nah

Free to make any shapes

Grid is just easier

[candid drift]

Uhm will taxes make u way much rich and the population of people still be good like without people leaving or stuf?in short will it effect more positive to ma city

[pale copper]

They can get angry about taxes

Just don't put it above 13 or they will leave

13%

[candid drift]

Ok

My city

[pale copper]

It's nice dude sheesh

[candid drift]

Nice but small population to its size

Thats 40% of my world

[pale copper]

Delete the crystal tower cos it is abandoned

[candid drift]

My all world is almost just gras

[pale copper]

Any building that looks dark is abandoned

[candid drift]

Why did it become abandoned btw

[brave echo]

Mine IS grass

[candid drift]

Ok i delete it ig

[pale copper]

Maybe it's missing a service

[candid drift]

[pale copper]

Like water electricity etc

[candid drift]

Its sport ngl 💀

[pale copper]

Lol

[candid drift]

Ok ill do stuf

[pale copper]

Put every service and it will become populated again

[candid drift]

Ooooo that actually really jumped my city population

[vernal rock]

uhhh is there a plug in that lets you build slums?

[candid drift]

Whats slums

Rip crystal tower ppl built houses so quickly

[vernal rock]

ghetto, but worse

[candid drift]

guys is theotown available on steam for free?

[minor hazel]

No

[candid drift]

paid?

[minor hazel]

you either use an emulator like bluestacks or buy it on steam

[candid drift]

ohk wait i got bluestacks

scrw it i cant

[minor hazel]

Why not

[shut mica]

How do I prevent traffic?

[jovial igloo]

a good road layout

[minor hazel]

you can show your map so we can give you specific tips

[shut mica]

Here it is:

[minor hazel]

yeah so what im seeing is you dont have enough routes

industrials need to get to other zones like commercial

and using two roads make them congested

i suggest making a road on either side of the industrial zoning to the other part of the map

[void wedge]

You need more entrances

[shut mica]

What about the small red region inside my town?

[sullen obsidian]

Is mia here?

[jovial igloo]

or does the pack include buildings etc etc?

[minor hazel]

katori stuff looks amazing but they are too big for me

@fleet sentinel There's no passengers on the Monorail even I set up a bus station there

@minor hazel I like your plugin

Hi there!

[minor hazel]

thankyou

i have no idea which one though

[tough fractal]

The arcade maybe

[minor hazel]

rings a bell ye, glad youre enjoying it

[tough fractal]

@minor hazel I have a question

[minor hazel]

hm?

[tough fractal]

There's no passengers on the Monorail even I set up a bus station there

[minor hazel]

yes

cause rails/trains dont have any usage currently

[tough fractal]

Why are my buses not reached to their next stop? It says unreachable although it says reachable

[minor hazel]

vanilla or hadestias?

[tough fractal]

Hadestias

[minor hazel]

take it up with hadestia

i had the same issue

[tough fractal]

What terminal does vanilla have?

[minor hazel]

the vanilla bus stops

[shut mica]

How do I fix the traffic. I tried making roundabout with one-ways but it doesn't seem to do anything?

[candid drift]

Just do bridges

Or add more road

Roads*

@shut mica

[vernal rock]
