its the same size

candid drift
deep wren
# neon plank The pc version has a 100

that's not true. both PC and phone have the same sizes. the biggest size is 40 square miles or 105 square km which is the same thing, you can create bigger maps easily by activating the console, the limit is then when your phone or pc crashes.

#

you can also create a map with pc and then load it on your phone

#

Here's a fully zoomed out picture of a 360 square miles map on mobile

Is this a good idea

deep wren
#

but why?

Ptag traffic

formal pikeBOT
# deep wren Ptag traffic

Directory Some tips on how traffic works & how to design around these tips.

Traffic Directory:

Your citizens need an quick and efficient path from point A to Point B. The AI will decide to take the shortest path, rather than the fastest.

Residential -> Commercial & Industrial [Citizens Commuting to Work]
Industrial -> Commercial [Goods Being Transported to Shoppes]
Commercial -> Industrial [Trucks Returning to Factory of Origin]
Industrial & Commercial -> Residential [Citizens Returning to Home of Origin]

Layout Tips:

Your Industrial & Commercial Zones should be close to a Main Road so they have easy access to the entire city.
Your Residential Zones should be close to your Commercial Zones, but further away from your Industrial Zones due to pollution.

Be sure to use a healthy mix of two-way and one-way roads in your Residential Zone to keep traffic orderly.

Here's an image of how you could lay your city rid down:

Yo guys what's the difference between the country road and the national country road

National road is recommended when your city has a dense population and frequently having Traffic jam

Sometimes works well along with national highway as entry/exit points

Cities are way way more complicated than at first glance

sharp bough
#

Now irl zoning is way way more complicated than theotown obviously

#

But in general

#

As obvious as it is, IRL non polluting industry such as warehouses, and workshops tend to be near inner city regions such as an industrial complex or port area for storage or basic manufacturing

lunar bolt
#

well yeah I know that

#

but I need ideas for road layouts because

sharp bough
#

Polluting industry tends to be on the outskirts of the city limits far away from most people, these include factories and so on

lunar bolt
#

the road layout I somehow made is absolute garbage

sharp bough
#

To put it simply in a road layout you have many types of roads

#

You have local roads

#

Which provide access to every building

#

You have collector roads which provide access to every local road

#

You have arterials like avenues and so on

#

That branch off to collectors

#

You then have national roads or highways which prioritise mobility over accessiblity

#

Local roads do the opposite

hybrid prairie
#

my cities on my mobile phone are not present on my desktop

#

is there a way to transfer them to one another?

Ptag files

formal pikeBOT
# versed timber Ptag files

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

  • Windows: C:\Users(insert username)\TheoTown or %USERPROFILE%\TheoTown
  • Linux: ~/TheoTown
  • MacOS: /user/TheoTown
  • Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
    By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/. Uninstalling the game on Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller. (android 11 onwards restricts access to external storage for apps, so if the files cannot be accessed this way, opt for the in-build manager explained below)
  • ios: Search "TheoTown" in the file manager app

If you cannot access game files through these directories, game has an in-built file manager for mobile devices which is accessible from the region view menu.

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

You said it didn't work but didn't say what it was

hybrid prairie
#

i opened up the ingame file manager of the desktop version

#

then i plugged my phone into the pc

#

i tried to first transfer files from the phone internal storage, into the game

#

it was not doable

#

so then i went into the ingame file manager on desktop

#

went to the files, and tried to import the files

#

they refuse to appear

versed timber
#

Downside of Googles new shitty thing

#

Now I have to figure out the issues with it

jovial igloo
#

what refused to appear? the cties itself?

hybrid prairie
#

EVERYTHING

#

nothing in the data folder but the media folder

#

and the media folder

#

IS EMPTY

#

everything but the folders and .TXT files seem to appear

versed timber
#

Try moving them to the actual fole location

#

Not with the file manager

hybrid prairie
#

i would

#

but when i click on the shortcut of theotown

#

all it does is send me to a link on a website that does NOTHING

jovial igloo
#

just try to move em to thier propper files designation

I guess on the GPG thing it does say it may not be playable

#

Intresting...

#

GPG is basically just a fancy Emulator it seems

bitter glade
versed timber
#

Yes

#

That is normal for the game

bitter glade
#

so if i want to create like 1 continuity, i have to design every map?

Just make 1 large single city map

That'd be the best way to go about it

U mean this?

yes

there are a lot of features i have to learn

Could anyone help me with the game, TheoTown, please? It's quite annoying that having constructed numerous solar panels, all buildings have no power. I'm quite new to the game and the tutorial isn't helping.

sharp bough
#

So if a house is far from a solar panel it needs a power line for the power to reach it

timid parcel

#

Can U send a screenshot?

timid parcel
#

I used underground wires at some point, too

sharp bough
#

You need to add more power plants

#

That solar panel only produces a small amount of electricity

timid parcel

#

Try adding a wind turbine

#

Also if you press on the power plant, an infoview pops up and there will be like a small logo with a gauge on it

#

Like a speedometer

#

If you press it it will bring up a slider to boost power production in the power plant

Build a wind turbine and press on it when it's completed building

Just even terraforming, on PC you have a much much bigger area you can terraform at the same time, on phone just changing one ground to another takes ages.

yeah, it's much bigger. on mobile you can't even terraform one screen, on pc you can scroll a bit and then click

still can be slow if you have to transform a arge map from grass to snow or similar things, but doable in tens of minutes instead of hours upon hours

Directory Some tips on how traffic works & how to design around these tips.

Traffic Directory:

Your citizens need an quick and efficient path from point A to Point B. The AI will decide to take the shortest path, rather than the fastest.

Residential -> Commercial & Industrial [Citizens Commuting to Work]
Industrial -> Commercial [Goods Being Transported to Shoppes]
Commercial -> Industrial [Trucks Returning to Factory of Origin]
Industrial & Commercial -> Residential [Citizens Returning to Home of Origin]

Layout Tips:

Your Industrial & Commercial Zones should be close to a Main Road so they have easy access to the entire city.
Your Residential Zones should be close to your Commercial Zones, but further away from your Industrial Zones due to pollution.

Be sure to use a healthy mix of two-way and one-way roads in your Residential Zone to keep traffic orderly.

Here's an image of how you could lay your city rid down:

following this helped me a lot

bitter glade
deep wren
#

i'm a beginner, but what i am doing is this:

#
  1. Highways connecting cities together and one city might have several entrances to the highway. These highways are only connected to Avenues.
  2. Avenues connect city districts together. some commercial buildings or utilities may be connected to Avenues, but usually it's just other roads connected, so if i have a large CBD, i may connect Roads or Streets first.
  3. Streets connect plots of buildings with other plots.
  4. Roads connect buildings within Plots, so just building to building and i use roads also as a buffer between Avenues and plots so that buildings that are close to an Avenue are not connected to that Avenue.
#

i have no idea if this is sustainable for large cities, i am only at 100k people, but for now it works pretty well

bitter glade
#

My city on second map region theonia, i've traffic problem at near train station. And i don't know how to fix it

deep wren
#

havn't worked with train stations yet

#

your map is tiny

#

maybe connect industrial and the rest of your city only with 2 wide streets and remove the other connections by separating them. that may improve traffic flow

cerulean lotus
#

If you want trains to come, build some stations and clear some space for them

#

(Only major districts)

deep wren
#

for right now i act like trains and planes don't exist, because i have no idea how rail works in this game 🤪

cerulean lotus
deep wren
#

maybe i'll try when i have a second city

#

but for now i won't bother, enough things to deal with as is

cerulean lotus
#

Download railroad expansion plugin for more variety of equipments

deep wren
#

i'm more a skyscraper nerd than infrastructure nerd, so if the game does not require that kind of infrastructure, i may just not build it. if the transport happiness goes down and those interregional demands are expected to build airports and rail i will do it at some point. if it's just for visuals mostly i might just not.

cerulean lotus
cerulean lotus
#

For me, I focus on transport design,except busses I’m more detailed on the design of train stations and network, exp: main train station must have a square infront of it/must have platforms of 4 above or countryside station can work with 1 platform

#

Airport also

#

Sometimes I’ll figure out their IATA code

hybrid prairie
#

guys how do you get the roiles of being inhabitents?

hybrid prairie
#

posting what?

bitter glade
deep wren
#

what do street connections (between cities) do? i just tried and connected two test cities and the demand from one city does not seem to influence the second city

#

are they purely esthetic?

cerulean lotus
#

It won’t influence the demands

deep wren
#

so for sandbox, it's mostly just for looks then and there won't be increased traffic between the city entrances

#

good to know though

#

so rail and airports are mostly for decorations then, if cities between regions don't really interact

# timid parcel Ok?

basically you should check if there's demand for wealthy people to move in

and also if you're providing enough services and buildings that they need

deep wren
# timid parcel Ok?

if a building ever reaches 0 inhabitants, you need to destroy it and rebuild it, fixing the issues won't fix a building being abandoned

thats the sole reason i play sandbox..though 1 of my sandbox maps i dont got filled in and wont have filled in due to the region itself being extreme and having alot of space to work with yet i put alot of different pieces all in different spots of the map...thus not having enough space for a huge city..though for how im doing it..huge city isnt required

like when you have one park or kind of tree asset you want to put between two roads or as a buffer zone between houses, you use that a lot and then it because prohibitively expensive forcing you to not play the way you want to play

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!
