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.
Yeah those don't exist for everything
#bot-commands
Just frequently asked questions
yea I was trying to see how I can have more industry "resources"
as the line is above the wealthiness
what does that mean?
and not below
Ptag demands
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)
: park
I assume this is what your looking for xD
lol, sorry
All good
No problem!
you can also do the tutorial
it doesn't explain everything, but should make basic stuff clearer
this is my second city attempt, i SOMEHOW managed to built a whole city
dont ask me how lol
its like i forgot EVERYTHING
the moment i started doing this one
i'm on my third city and i learnt a lot of new things every time
ooh nice
LAST QUESTION I PROMISE
is there a way
to build a barrier in water
because of sewage
and pumping
would be covenient
idk if its possible
How does this look?
That's not something you hace to worey about for the game
like something i could never do (its amazing)
what kind of barrier? you can use terraforming tools
oh?
Omg, tysm
No water pollution doesn't flow
oh
so water pollution
Very static
has no effect
Not unless you build your pumps in the immediate area of pollution
No problem
when i asked my first question here
i did not expect this community to be friendly
because most of them arent
yall are so nice
Happy to help!
tell ur friends the developers made the game especially for you
😭
They all started playing ot lmao
u play clash of clans?
Ya
Coc.theotown.cs2.fortnite.minecraft
Main games I play
i played it day and night a few years ago and my brother plays it non stop but i play on his account because im logged in it
but now day and night
i play theotown
theotown is so much better
from "modern" games
such as skylines
etc
I play theotown when I'm on the white throne (toilet)
plus i dont have to break my back on my chair because I can lay in bed, have a poop, eat, go outside and play theotown
its a portable game
Weak
instead of going to sleep like a normal human being
It's 5 30 am
ill go play theotown
where r u from
Balkan
Good boy
Bulgaria
Why does my game crash when I wanna take a map picture
Dad serbia, mom croatia, grandpa from italy, grandma from bosnia😭😭😭😭😭
Naaah
but I am born in croatia and non stop visit my dads side in serbia
idk same for me
bro im in a hurricane rn
Im all bulgarian for the past 3 generations
nice
bro the wind outside is at 96 kmh
The city in theotown needs u
i spawn disasters in theotown
out of boredom
Bruh
LOL
💀
U sure that's a 40 40 ?
its the same size
oh damn
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
but why?
guys help
my education is REALLY bad
and I have a massive amount of schools
why is this happening
place your schools around the residencial areas
you can also see the zones of education
i did
place both high and elementary school?
and my education is 55% and everyone is mad because of it
not high not big enough level
but a lot of schools
including elementary
small
hmmm
big elementary
ask more people but now I think you should work on getting highschool
the red area is industrial area
I think you should ask more people like professionals
make a channel in #1085157639706640414
alot of people can help there
alright ty
if no one responds here i will
im going to sleep rn so if i dont respond
yk why
Once you unlock the higher level schools then your education rating will upgrade
ty
Does anybody have neighborhoods that I can use as a reference for mine it would be very appreciated
Zoom into wisconsin
ewww. it's all low density terrible zoning car dependant architecture 😭
The US suburb makes no sense to me. These single family homes take so much space
appeared by itself
God bless america
But fr if u want try making sm like this
If it is auto disasters I have never seen before.
Maybe you missed something
I forgot to turn off the auto disaster i guess
So sad🥲
Btw how to clear the polution?
Is it possible
No, auto disasters are only minor ones like fire, Robery, vandalisms
You can’t clear all, but you can clear most, putting parks or plant trees around the industrials can decrease
Omg i forgot to turn off this setting
Then it was my mistake
i turned it off the first time i saw it was an option.
Guys
So what the solution for my little village bro🥲
i see this game as a sandbox like lego, anything that would delete hours of progress could make me ragequite.
Is there any reason why my population doesn't seem to increase above 10k
do you build according to demands?
They go up and down
like, just build what's in demand and you'll grow and grow
Oo
So I should demolish my residentials if I gotta increase?
Cause I got no space
why such a tiny map, you have 10k pops and no space?
U can increase map size?
For your disastered situation, you can:
Clear the map if you want to
Or remove the debris by remove, should costs a lot of money, get some loan
are you still on the tutorial map?
after you learned the game from the default regions, just make your own big region and start fresh with all the knowledge gained
Maybe
I think I do too
i'm on the biggest standard size and with 100k pops i maybe filled up 10% of the map
I started about 10 days
i havn't played for 10 days or so 🥲
but i'm a beginner too, maybe 30-40 hours in the game
I think creating a new map is the best hehe
how's that only 10k people, looks so much more lol
Go, free yourselves!
No need to worry bout the financials, dlt anyway
Density sometimes just is weird
Agreed
Max build of all area (residentsial, commercial, industries) is 6×6?
My megalopolis isn’t as dense as his
Whats that
Ooh
Nope
I watched on YouTube and it said the maximum is 6×6

no wonder you're out of space
As in the space?
Like
Yea the wtc plugin is 12x12
This
Yeah
It's not the same everwhere
Someplaces it's like 6×6 and 2×2
those streets are weird, why not one way streets
I don't know bro, i just playing🤣 i'm new in this game
Why not dumbass avenues that take up too much space 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I see
Btw, why are there no buildings in the remaining area?
It's supply and demand basically
Aint nobody gonna take those áreas if theres no demand
Check the little graph
Wait
too much office, too few people
This?
Yep
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)
: park
just build poor people housing.
If the traffic is going up, that mean i should build that?
traffic? that's a demand graph, more demand means people want that
It means another lane
Ohh i see
have you played the tutorial? i believe it explains it somewhat.
I missed maybe
should I move this hill with the statue?
nah, build around it
hello
Guys my texts doesnt appear in game, how can I fiz
Real
new even to discord
Well
Do you love the pickle
Yeah?
Aight u a real one

I love eating pickles for breakfast lunch while playing my favourite game, which is this one
I love cucumber
Yall is it normal tha all the rich people clumped up like that
Oww to many road, can i make it like i put 6x6 building 3 in a row without road. So there aren't many roads
Yea it's because all the service coverages overlap in that spot, meaning that there is excellent like service there and it lets the people get richer or something, theotown logic is very logical
Building my first town. Any advice Reddit?
Yes we are in Reddit, uhm, what is the purpose of this city, is it to house people, for people to shop, is it an industrial complex, a transport hub or a tourist attraction or is it a mix of everything?
Very wholesome 100 chonkers and very dank chat is this real joe mama
Banned 
Don't vibe check me chat
Man fr wtf was 2018
It was a good age for theotown
It was skibidi before skibidi istg
I remember basically nothing
Well the idea I have in my head is your average city, with most of the buildings being for people and the further inward you get into the map you get more commercial buildings
Broo how u make vertical road?
Hacking
I guess its primarily meant to house people
Ok, well in that case, build like residential complexes near the edges of the map leaving space for avenues and when your road like converges, place your commercial there :3
Really?
Nah bro just place it where it would go if you were building a vertical road
Nu, more like the edges of your grid ima gib u an example rq brb
Someone can help me to figure this out? I’ve been changing route patterns for minutes
A population of 789 would not have that much car
I've seen worse in random ass towns with 100 people irl, god is it realistic sometimes
incredible ammount of intersections, thats just asking for traffic to pile up
If I change to a intersection will it be better?
Is that diagonal necessary?
wha? no?
I built it by the slope, means a bit big to a temple infront
Like this leave a 3 x [however long ur road is] corridor for avenue, it makes the city look pretty and it separates the city a bit more making it look less like a concrete jungle and more so a livable city
Wut are you trying to do?
It looks like an airfield
its a ordinary commercial plot
Oh, were the commercial
Errr something like this?
Lmao nvm I got it
Finally solved:
Discontinue the diagonal road, forming a simple T intersect
What
Just simple, place commies Bock and road
And yeah their happiness was 68%, average Eastern Europe city
If these commie blocks weren't as ugly then people might not have hated them. These get a bad reputation. I can see why your happiness is somewhat low lol
Yeah man, I know they hate it
But this is for poor people so
I'm better build that blocks than they live in dirty place
is it possible to recreate cities like dubai without sandbox mode
just do manual build.
This thing is still bothering me, even if I changed the patterns
@deep wren I’ve got there solved, but here might be uprising
Thingy for where traffic goes
Meanwhile yeah that is more relieving for the eyes
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:

Thanks to y’all! Merci beaucoup!
And now my city’s shape is a heart ❤️
not quite city yet 😄
Yeah I’m not too eager to expand cuz the rainforest makes a beautiful backdrop to it
you can build several villages and connect them and slowly grow until they grow into one urban area
my site?
my city? still looks like this, i posted it this morning: #town-square message
You can by adding land/asphalt and do some decos on em
Hi guys, is there any recommended Plug-in related to the military or similar to it?
I'd like to have a military base and instances in my city but the built-in one is too bland and seems boring...
Well idk if there are plugin about military
I do found some like USN nuclear carriers, missile destroyers but not a land-based base and have influences
Hi Everyone. :)) Advanced Merry Christmas
🎄🎁❤️🥳
The Leaf and Forge made a couple of military or military related plugins.
Sounds interesting, mind to showcase some of their creations?
well yeah but the cost
so if I were to recreate a city without sandbox should I create a money making city then I remove it when I have enough cash?
Yo guys what's the difference between the country road and the national country road
Country roads is cheaper and will cost you monthly fee
National Road is expensive, but free from monthly fee as it's paid and Maintained by the govt. Agencies, plus it offers speedy traffic and better transport influence
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
what type of road layout do you guys recommend
Organic grid
Thanks
Is there a good way to make cliffs in this game?
I know theres a way with modular buildings but to me it looks kinda janky...
why is the game not free on steam?
i played it for like a few months on google play and it was great
@hybrid prairie you can play it on pc for free
i cant play theotown on my phone as it drains battery instantly
???
I don't remember how exactly but evan knows
who is evan?
@versed timber sorry to ping you but what were the sites for getting the free version on PC
I forgot
wdym can you give an example
it's another milestone
just got redirected here
happy 56971 members
Привет всем
sorry to ping, but do you think you could search through previous history of his texts and find a link?
or is there a link within somehere threards of channels?
i really wish i could play theotown which is why i even came to the discord
Well.
do you all play on phones or mobile devices instead of desktop?
guys
guys
you do realize normal people can ping everyone???
hello
see
oh
And regardless don't try it
strange
Its a mod setting.
i did no such thing
Well sorry mate
Caps
And it should be fineee
should I start over?
No it needs ONE more lane
🙏
that layout causes my buildings to looks like total garbage
like too many of the same building in one spot
Almost finished with my first city. (It looks like ass ik)
Man whoever composed the music for when you have a disaster or situation, man that music is musical
bro that's your first city??
Yes
it's good ngl
Thank you
Eyyy, good job, what did U think of my suggestion
Made it look way better and more spaced out
I used it in the middle if you can see
Yep! I simply told you the basic rules of urbanism
bro tell me plz🙏
Cities are way way more complicated than at first glance
Uhm, well there are many many aspects such as zoning
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
Polluting industry tends to be on the outskirts of the city limits far away from most people, these include factories and so on
the road layout I somehow made is absolute garbage
Okay
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
excuse me mayor, i ask for advice
my cities on my mobile phone are not present on my desktop
is there a way to transfer them to one another?
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.
Us the in game file mangers
And move the cities and regions folders
next city I follow famous city roadway real
Actually just plug your phone into your PC
Ima give U a good visualiser dw
And move them that way
doing just that
ok thx!
Yeah I was having trouble with my roads too
I was kinda just randomly making squares with the occasional angle to them
its not working
or maybe i aint doing it right?
GPG?
Someone hand me some thermite
Here:
can finnaly go to bed
Good sleep
what do i do?
i want to transfer my plugins and my cities from my phone to the desktop
i suffer
i am tired
it does not want to see the files on my phone
it says i cant use certain folders because it threatnes my privacy
whyyyyyyyyy
sometimes a person on person is more helpful
i guess your right though
still sucks to be me
What does this mean?
The clocks,
It's a timer symbol
Click on the maps and it will show you how long is left
know anyone who could help me?
Not in particular
You mean gloogloo
What exactly have you done?
first
You said it didn't work but didn't say what it was
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
what refused to appear? the cties itself?
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
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
just try to move em to thier propper files designation
When i enter the map, my city level back to lvl 1 again. And then, when i build roadway to maximum in 1 map, it said connect link to neighbor. I don't understand
Yeah new maps are new
They aren't expansions of the old map. They are fresh starts
Let me download the beta
I guess on the GPG thing it does say it may not be playable
Intresting...
GPG is basically just a fancy Emulator it seems
Is that the case in other regions too?
so if i want to create like 1 continuity, i have to design every map?
U mean this?
yes
Oh true
does this look good, or can i improve it?
Any way to put more toll booths on that bridge without the city imploding
Why
Dont toll
unless youre poor
No it looks awesome
thx !!
i kinda snipped the idea from like uk bus stations
i want my city to be diverse, so i'm taking ideas and such from many countries
Gotcha
hi
That is great, for bonus points add lighting
Overall good job ur very talented!!
thats what it's missing! thank you lol
thx again ^^
i might make like a mini tutorial after i make another one to kinda figure out what i even did, bc i kind of just wing it with things lol
Ur welcome! I really like the design of the bus station! :3
I'm curious if you can show me when ur done with the lighting so I can see if the suggestion was worth it
what causes that christmas melody to randomly play?
I think it's just based on the music list
So it plays randomly
i have music turned off and it's still playing
Oh, do you have a Christmas thingy?
what's a christmas thingy?
if you mean these christmas decorations then yeah i have one
Yes, then did you turn down volume for plugin I think?
I think it'll shut it down
Yipee I'm a settler
I've been here for a day and I'm yapping too much smh
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.
Uhm, did U use powerlines?
So if a house is far from a solar panel it needs a power line for the power to reach it
I tried using wires after building the solar powers (according to the tutorial), but everything seems useless.
Okay?
Can U send a screenshot?
Oh, I see ur problem
You need to add more power plants
That solar panel only produces a small amount of electricity
Okay
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
This?
Yea that's an infoview but the solar panel is not adjustable
Build a wind turbine and press on it when it's completed building
All right. I think I'm starting to understand. Thank you so much.
You are welcome! :3
Let me go try what you said
Wait, do you know how to restart the game?
Reset all progress
But if you increase the slider it will make the power plant more expensive to maintain oke?
Yeah, I know.
So go to ur system settings, go to apps, go to theotown, press on like data and cache, and then press on delete data and delete cache and you should be good to go!
All right.
Thanks once again.
Ur welcome!

Should I expand this road? This road is my only connection to Shomeiri (not so important industrial land)
build a second road?
or build a bridge across and remove the intersection. or make a roundabout instead of an intersection
What you gonna do with that? Be a industry or something?
One 11 by 11 resident/commercial dense zone cost me about 700k and those are bigger than 11 by 11
Nah residential and commercial
Roundabout everywhere, It reminds me of that one town in the UK
Good idea. I’ll work on it
if it fits on the screen, it's not that big 😁
but it does look pretty
Cmon it barely fits 😭
how big is each section?
Technically 13 by 13
But yk how round abouts have that corner
So the actual square is 11 by 11
still not exactly big...though that said im working with a big region in sandbox just for fun creativity and i still aint even got the entire thing filled but ill need to start a new town to fill every inch...but im just a rookie player with dreams of growing a big city, in sandbox..though i will be making a city in said huge region of mine for normal play...well..t-gamplay...but thats just me.
I’m kinda glad I’m able to fill Manhattan xd
i did give it a try, 11x11 is not big @neon plank
each section is pretty small, but allows for nice density
lol, what.
Refer to our rules
Oh my bad 
Die Bär-mer Stadtmusikanten
But seriously though. What the heck is happening? 🥲
If it's a plugin and safe. I'll ignore it.
If it's a plugin and there's somehow something happening. I'm already screwed.
^^
check auto-disaster, maybe the plugin added one
Your guess is as good as mine
Nada
So it's probably hoax?
Probably not lmao
figure out what plugin it could be. do you have any military plugins?
I do. Mostly from Forge
imagine someone uploading a normal building plugin and injecting a nuke into it hidden, lfmao
Oh yeah Forge has made some stuff that will for sure wreck a build
I'm not even sure why you'd have that running if you didn't want it to happen
"here is my new statue of a cute anime girl" hidden hydrogen bomb 
Lmao
I wanna install my own military base soon enough.
But I definitely didn't expect the enemy will have an attack when I haven't even started building my base 😭
I forgot caps aren't allowed. There.
you build so detailed, why would you want random RNG to destroy tens of hours of stuff. sounds like pure suffercore.
Just avoid them being spammed
the Minecraft server 2b2t is like that.
i even turn off creeper explosion damage to buildings in minecraft 🥲
Yeah that's right
I do agree. I just finished the advanced road stuff and now it'll be saying bye bye 💀
(why is advanced road so hard since it took me an hour) 😭
and that on a phone 😭 do you have like a pen or something to detaily build on mobile?
Nope
goodafternoon guys
I don't have any S-Pens or Apple Pens
goodnight actually
Good Arvo / Good afternoon
can yer help me build me airport
I definitely suck at building airports since idk how to build a proper airport yet
havn't touched airports or train stations yet
this game so fun
you guys always posting screenshots and not having opened your free daily reward. taunting me
tutorial on how to nuke opps
how do you get free triple speed up?
You use diamonds lmao
its 20
That's as close to free as your getting with that feature
wait for them daily rewards i guess
If you'd like unlimited I'd suggest buying the game
also upgrade busses
No need for pen to detail build xd
i have fat fingers lol
Just zoom in lol, it can zoom a lot
i don't really play on phone anyway, just testing some stuff when i am not at home.
and browse plugins
Yea prob gonna try PC one day
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.
Wot, PC has diff terraform tool?
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
Built a bridge, but oddly looking
Isee, though phone terraform can do in a bigger radius as well, but I haven’t tried
Terraform is exhausting tbh xd
That's the biggest for me.
Oh that’s much bigger lol
i gave up terraforming my test world from water to asphalt. i will instead load it on computer and finish it there in a few minutes lol
yeah, that radius is tiny
#city-showcase message
This terraform took me days xd
For bigger scale yea it’s prob quite challenging
C'mon release ur inner autism
no idea how long this would have taken on mobile.
but that was the time i had to terraform on big scale
Isee
Though it’s hard to see the ground level diff at this scale
If just to fill land with water I think you can do prob similar as PC
yeah, same thing
around 50 square km of terrain change i would say
Noice
can't wait to terraform mountains back into my flat world 😅
Good luck with it xd
Ask for a topographical viewer at theosanta for Xmas
lol that could be interesting xd

Yall know the plugin JP residential Buildings Pack? by Rock Fort.
does anyone know him?
because he needs to add nightlighting to his things
its so good
but looks bad during daylight

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.

following this helped me a lot
This using dense area? If i build 6×6 in the middle will be empty
that's just an example, do whatever size you want, also don't need to make a grid, T-sections are better anyway
i'm a beginner, but what i am doing is this:
- Highways connecting cities together and one city might have several entrances to the highway. These highways are only connected to Avenues.
- 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.
- Streets connect plots of buildings with other plots.
- 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
My city on second map region theonia, i've traffic problem at near train station. And i don't know how to fix it
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
Wait till you got metro, it’s easier to build urban railroads with it
If you want trains to come, build some stations and clear some space for them
(Only major districts)
for right now i act like trains and planes don't exist, because i have no idea how rail works in this game 🤪
It’s easy for train:
put rails and station, it’ll run auto
Set some branches for cargo depot
maybe i'll try when i have a second city
but for now i won't bother, enough things to deal with as is
Download railroad expansion plugin for more variety of equipments
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.
Once you mastered railroads it’ll be very ez
It’s okay, take ur time
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
guys how do you get the roiles of being inhabitents?
just posting
posting what?
Cus i play in theonia region, i'll play in single cities later
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?
If you check the city statics part, there’s a neighbor hood commercial, if two roads or rails of two cities linked, they can only trade with power/water/waste(forgo?)/funeral, but it’s also can make money
It won’t influence the demands
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
I've posted pics of chipper plugins. So if you guys are confused on what those files add into the game. You can thank me later :)
Looks like our member is 57,005 huh?
Interact only with supply I’ve only discovered
Maybe there’s other influences but idk
Almost 60k
supply?
Water power waste and funeral
ah ok, yeah that's not really a big deal, unless the funeral and waste of the one city you play gets flooded with all the waste lol
Its growing steadily. Soon it might reach 100K at some point
do we have stats of PC vs mobile player base?
Idk if Theotown was so popular, so they join the discord looks like
Yes maybe one more a year and 100k ?!
it's pretty niche, i have no idea how i even found it.
Maybe next year was 60k or 80k
Maybe
What size ??? 26 or 108 ??
one map there is 105km2, so around 50km2 of terraforming
on PC it didn't take that long though. i just watched some youtube while working on it.
how does one use diagonal roads properly for someone who played before they became a thing
wdym properly
Does anyone care to explain to me why I've got no people in the building?
my building style started evolving into a slight mess of a layout where i just go with the flow rather than properly planning it out
Ptag demands
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)
: park
i mean theres no actuall proper way to use diagonal? its just ordinary road, but its visually look diagonal
also diagonal road have a bug that jams vehicle that goes trough em so watch out
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
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
wally and orange are both correct.
Really? D*mn.
Guys is there a mode in theotown where I can build like we do in Minecraft's creative mode ?
Without resources just placing buildings and stuff ?
there's sandbox mode iirc
How to access
start a new city, choose sandbox mode
Oke :p
Hi
What does this untouchable mean?
it would be rebuilt automaticly eventually
it means the ai won't rebuild another building in its place
that's only really important if you play with zones
then you can save buildings from zones that you like
ya know....of all the years i played the game...i am learning new crap that i never learned of lol
Okay 🤦🏽♂️
Thanks
the game can be build in very different ways, if you never play one way you won't ever know about it.
I still don't understand🤣
true i always play in sandbox because its easier though i need to create a city for 1 sole purpose of just trying to build with limited income..cause i only ever play the sandbox.
i played easy to around 20k people and then got extremely frustrated by the cost increase mechanics. staying in positive income wasn't an issue but the limitation of not being able to build the same park 50 times just got to me.
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
I'm very sorry to bother anyone here, but I would love to understand these stats properly. Any help?
What's their demand?
Res T and Ind T
people have enough of high skill industrial labor, they want to go back to the mines and work hard!
Is there a guide for city building ? 🤔
not really, the game mechanics are so simplified, you can do whatever you want basically
just build based on demand and follow this traffic structure roughly:

that is helpful for me to read about....it makes life 100% easier to know
Thank you Wally, but how about the ones that fall below the lines. What does it say? The classification poor, medium and wealthy is about what? Social class?

mostly education i would say. if you want to build more low residential architecture, you can try to increase low Industrial jobs and go that direction. i don't fully know how to control a city population distribution, but you can kinda do it by prioritizing certain populations.
makes sense
wally you have been pretty helpful for me lol even when im not the one asking questions lol
lol where as i have atleast maybe abit of a years worth lol...ive been playing it sense i got this pc in spring....may or march.
yet i still didnt knw certain pieces of info that i needed to
know*
you learn something new every time you play.
i never touched trains and airports for example
i always build airports when i can..lol its the best part of my life..lol though mine end up being too big or something like that
there is never too big lol
given how big of maps you can make, space shouldn't be an issue
dang really?
honestly i've played the game for many years on and off and there's still many things i have to work on
yeah and i don't think i will within the next 100 or so more hours to be honest
lol i tbh make big military bases but know that i need to atleast make them big yet small as well..
also didn't touch space stuff and military stuff
my region is a peaceful region i think, wanna make highway links between the different cultures
Guys do we have Christmas Plugins?
Because i feel i must do a Polar Express Feeling
there's presents and snowman and christmas tree
DSA ive done space stuff... military i always build...need to either build a massive base...or smaller base..but thats me...DSA space stuff feels.....bland..
Can you send seed 🙃
not even plugin but vanilla
sorry, i'm on an old version, seeds will not work
by ages i mean just a year or 2 probably
I'm also using old version 😁
anyone remember when the ui looked like this?
lol when i first joined theotown it was like...a few years..3 or 4 maybe
i'll DM you
What construction or provision must I carry out to increase the culture aspect?
that was Vanilla
Landmarks

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.

Hello! How are you lol
Majocco, I'm good. You really helped me yesterday. I figured it out just as you've explained.
This server? Yea it kinda does
That's good, glad ur enjoying the game hehe :3
Is there any other way to make vehicles spawn on expressway besides adding interchange on every cities?
sorry for my english
Buildings next to the expressway and car spawners work
What is that notification
Put a sound barrier or wall. Philippines has a lot of that and so does a lot of countries
It's a plugin that there's said to be an attack from a mech
Yeah. I better build a military base before that mech destroys my city
@deep wren do you think should I add gas power plant to my city?
Well do you need more electricity?
It won't break the environment but it will produce pollution which you need to make sure is in your industrial areas
Or near them
Far away from ur houses
Then I might got the land…
- Heightmaps
- Inbuilt heightmaps
Ptag heightmaps
You want to make a region that resembles a real place? Use heightmaps!
- Go to https://tangrams.github.io/heightmapper/ and find your wanted location.
- Make sure that the colors are right. Black will become water and white will be hills.
- Take a screenshot and change the name (example.jpg).
- Put the image in your TheoTown folder, not in the subfolders.
- Go to the region generator and and type in the image name (example.jpg).
- Enjoy your new custom region!

I've been told that 11 by 11 is enough bc the biggest buildings can be build no?
I have too many plugins 😭 so many different zone option
Need more
