[sharp bough]

Ptag screenshots

[formal pike]

I couldn't find any tags matching that name!

[sharp bough]

Ptag screen

[formal pike]

Want other players to see your beautiful city? You may upload the screenshot of it in-game, by pressing 'Settings' button while you're in the city. In Gallery you can see newest and most rated screenshots, and also rate other players cities!

By the way, be sure to use only in-game content while uploading.

[sharp bough]

Nu

Where are screenshots saved hmm

They don't show up .w.

[south bobcat]

Well,what OS you're on?

Merry christmas everyone!
How do i enable expremental funktions again?
I recently needed to change my device and i need to do it again

[plain willow]

this is actually a great idea

[safe kettle]

this is actually a horrible idea

how would the game know what is considered a window

[plain willow]

idk, but i thought it is a good idea

[safe kettle]

besides, that sounds rather computationally heavy

[candid drift]

guys quick question

why arent my people building in these empty zones?

i placed hospitals

parks

sport

etc

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

[candid drift]

education

[candid drift]

thats the thing

every park

is placed

everything is green

[safe kettle]

read it

[candid drift]

every single area

[safe kettle]

and stop the spam formatting

[candid drift]

my bad in used to typing like this

[candid drift]

ooooh

i thought above meant you need more resources 😭

[sharp bough]

Hi! Quick question, where map screenshots?

Where do they save I mean

Or is my device incapable of handling the power of pickle

[celest moon]

In your gallery or the place where your screenshots are usually are?

[sharp bough]

Yea that's where I checked but uhm it doesn't exist

Like it says screenshot taken

And me went to my gallery even my file manager

No new files

Is it because the game doesnt have permissions or something?

Ah whatever

Anywho, any suggestions on what to do make here

I was thinking of just making it nature + like some maintainance stuff or telecom towers or something idk

[polar warren]

Yeah maybe somthing like that nature

[polar warren]

What's the seed ,tho 🙂

[sharp bough]

It's a height map! So it's based on a real world location

[polar warren]

Ohh nice

[sharp bough]

The real world location is Rabat, Morocco

I wish I could give you a map screenshot but uh my phone does not like theotown

[cerulean tiger]

Put nothing and leave it be

[sharp bough]

Oh I figured out the problem 💀

[cerulean tiger]

Looks like a cat

[sharp bough]

I didn't give theotown storage permissions

[sharp bough]

The screenshot?

[cerulean tiger]

Ya

[sharp bough]

I see it lmao

[polar warren]

Maybe also clear cache 🙂

Then maybe work also

[sharp bough]

It did help, thank you

Here's the map I'm working on, I'm prepping the environment before building anything or detailing

[polar warren]

Send me the image you use for Rabat in DM 🙂 idk my tangram heightmapper is not working

[sharp bough]

Oh oke, ima get U an image

[buoyant flax]

Merry Christmas folks

[bitter glade]

This is 1 time buy? I mean permanent?

[versed timber]

Yes!

[bitter glade]

Woah nice

And then, how this is building works? Am i wrong put the sewer pipe in that place?😂

[sharp bough]

Theotown 3D when?

[versed timber]

Go play after fame if you'd like that xD

[sharp bough]

Lmao

[versed timber]

You don't have to worry about sewage for this game

[sharp bough]

I mean there is a Sewage thingy, but It reduces water pollution

Pretty useless as you can simple move ur water supply lol

[subtle frigate]

Hello all. General question: when playing TT on PC, has anyone experienced game freezing when attempting to explore space while playing on a huge map?

The rocket launches, then the cucumber dude says they've found a suitable location to land, and connecting to space command.
But when I press X, the game freezes.

[bitter glade]

Owww, so this is useless building

[subtle frigate]

For reference, I tried it on 26² km and 105² km map.

In both instances they froze.

[versed timber]

Well like Majocco said water pollution can be dealt with other ways

[bitter glade]

Alright thanks btw

[versed timber]

Would you mind to post in #1085157639706640414 please?

[versed timber]

No problem

[subtle frigate]

Ok, thanks.

[versed timber]

Happy to help!

[sharp bough]

We should have a pickle UI theme for theotown

Make almost everything green

And change the menu icon to pickle

I am sure the art designers would appreciate more work lol

[pastel dock]

Hola alguien hablá español?

[safe kettle]

no, speak english

[versed timber]

En #language-bar, no aqui

[fair lagoon]

can anyone show me a reference on what their like city looks like zone wise

[sharp bough]

Uhm... Well, I moved phones but, usually have your industry in the edges of the map and the shops around the major roads and the houses near the shops but away from the houses usually

[bitter glade]

Damnn i forgot save my progress

[candid drift]

um

is this normal

santa

[versed timber]

Yes

[candid drift]

place zones in the corner because people will move out because of the sound and pollution (i resetted cities 5 times because of this until i watched a tutorial

[candid drift]

thats a very cool feature

[versed timber]

Gotta keep it festive!

[worldly crest]

I got writers block but like with my city what should I add and is there anything I can do to improve it?

[hushed pebble]

That looks neat and tidy

[candid drift]

i shouldnt have downloaded this

im ADDICTED

[hushed pebble]

Lmao 😭

I feel it too, couldn't take a break when we're developing our city further

[candid drift]

exactly

it needs to be 100% complete for me to stop

any thoughts?

ignore the demands

😭

and the no water buildings

im treating my mini people good, i promise

[hushed pebble]

Basically quite hard for 100% satisfaction, unless you remove tax, or use Uber mode

I just stuck by 95~98%

[hushed pebble]

Well populated, you perhaps need a space to build public transportation center in order to reduce frequent traffic jams

[candid drift]

yep

[hushed pebble]

Build a small lake, and Establish a water pump

[candid drift]

i was about to build a metro

[candid drift]

i did

[hushed pebble]

[candid drift]

no lake needed

[candid drift]

city has a massive lake

already

[hushed pebble]

Yay

[candid drift]

without me having to add it additionally!

[hushed pebble]

Do you have a rural area on this map?

[candid drift]

shall i get the military base? I dont want ufos to abuse me, i just want the military base because its cool and for looks

[hushed pebble]

I recommend to establish one and create a small village that a bit far from main city, that will help to boost citizens favor too

[candid drift]

these are the ONLY areas currently

[hushed pebble]

I disabled my natural disasters so i don't likely need it much lol

If you want it as a decorative elements, there's nothing wrong anyways

[hushed pebble]

Holy smoke, i bet there's a huge traffic issue around it

[hushed pebble]

Try to build a freight depot on these industrial zone to reduce road rush hour, this will reduce traffic jam

Today's progress

[candid drift]

oh alright

[candid drift]

umm

maybe!

(new york jams level)

[candid drift]

how tho?

do i just build 1 depot

and make it go from 1 industrial area

to another

or?

[hushed pebble]

Built it on 2 areas of your industrial zone, should be on the outskirts and connect it near a road, then rails to another station

Make sure to separate the rail of Cargo liners and Passenger rails

[candid drift]

its crazy that all of this started with just a water tank

[hushed pebble]

Yess

[hushed pebble]

ROFL

Don't forget Solar panels

[candid drift]

oooh ok thx

[candid drift]

this is all of my water and energy

i deleted solar panels because the river thingy makes a lot of electricity

[hushed pebble]

Ahh Dam, i like it too, sometimes i make a hill with waterfall behind then A dam between it continued by a highway above them

[hushed pebble]

Why not nuclear Plant lol

[candid drift]

boom

💥🔥

[hushed pebble]

Perhaps you need "Waste To plant" plugins, it's environment friendly, turned Waste into a usable energy plant

Can subtitute Landfill or any like

[candid drift]

i have 0 plugins because i hate having it here, since im used to it being terrain transport and zones😭

and its weird to me with plugins being there ngl

[hushed pebble]

Fun fact : there is a nuclear Power plant mod that not having mechanism to be burnt down or explode too lol

[hushed pebble]

Ah vanilla/original Version enjoyers

you earned my respect enjoying the game without additional resources

[candid drift]

uh huh you should see my gta

😭

[hushed pebble]

Which GTA?

[candid drift]

5 and 4

full of mods and lcpdfr/lspdfr

like FULL

[hushed pebble]

I seen them but never played one 😔

[candid drift]

of mods

[candid drift]

why?

[hushed pebble]

I don't have time to use pc anymore lols

[candid drift]

gta and theotown construction mod collab would go craz

crazy

[candid drift]

oh

[hushed pebble]

Mostly need it for work and never installed any games recently

[candid drift]

me neither ngl

im mostly on my phone and a book

now

[hushed pebble]

[candid drift]

ur telling me

u have a whole job

and didnt play gta

in these 12 years

[hushed pebble]

Study also...

I might need to build a new pc for a gaming purpose in near future

[candid drift]

i only have a laptop

and call it a "pc"

😭

[hushed pebble]

Basically not wrong, Personal Computer

Laptop, a handheld Computer

[candid drift]

by the way, do you suggest having the prison away from the city?

in theotown

[hushed pebble]

And a personal belonging

[candid drift]

yea

[candid drift]

a prison in my town is in the middle of a residential area

😭

not my theotown city

my irl city

where i live

[hushed pebble]

It doesn't really gave a big difference or Negative influence ig, the same function as precinct

But if you want to adapt "realism" , why not?

[candid drift]

alright!

[hushed pebble]

Lmao

[candid drift]

prisoners throw bricks

at people

from their cells

they have windows with bars

[hushed pebble]

Imagine a burglar instantly sent right to the jail next to the neighborhood

[candid drift]

but the bars dont help

[candid drift]

that is what happens every day💀😭

[hushed pebble]

Do upgrade it with literature program and make it as a "rehabilitation" center lol

[lost raft]

Bruh

Why you build near residential area?

[candid drift]

what

ask the president bro😭

idk

[hushed pebble]

A prison near settlement somehow reminds me of Gulag 😹

[candid drift]

well

the prison here is the same

if you survive until ur sentence ends

ur good to go

its harsh

but in a residential area

and right next to a police station and a school

💀

[hushed pebble]

Crazy

[candid drift]

the prisoners wave to kids when school finishes

and when the kids pass by

the prisoners throw bricks

at adults

passing by

[hushed pebble]

[candid drift]

fun city ngl

never boring

lol

[lost raft]

Well, my city is so depressed

💀

[candid drift]

people in my city point rocket launchers at cops

im not joking

this really happened

[lost raft]

Imagine they just not blow up the cops, but the neighborhood

[candid drift]

nah it was empty

but the cops thought it was full

[candid drift]

which is illegal a lot to even OWN

but point at cops

life sentence

instantly

[lost raft]

Well what's wrong with my city?

I'm build they a commies bloc

But they just protest me

[candid drift]

lol

@hushed pebble hey

would u recommend

having an avenue like this

and residential area aroun

d

im not sure since water is nearby

[hushed pebble]

I'd say avenue should be surrounded by commercial zones or Wealthy residents

Can be Hotel, restaurant, museum, etc

Or maybe an entry to Metro Station

[candid drift]

i was thinking

a dense residential

but not sute

sure

[candid drift]

guys

how do i fix

0 trains

going on my elevated railway

like no trains even spawn on it

[willow hazel]

Anyone got any ideas on how to add more variety to your grid setups

[deep wren]

@willow hazel

[willow hazel]

Oh thanks

[deep wren]

but also depends on your architectural style i think. if you go for barcelona like city scape, you would stay with the same grid, if you do commie blocks, you probably make large grids, but put small streets inside the large grids to connect all towers of the same plot

[willow hazel]

I'm doing an art deco commie block sort of thing, like a poor to lower middle class neighborhood

I need to redo the building tho

The setup kinda looks terrible

Sort of like New York

[cerulean lotus]

My town is taking shape and I added a town opposite the river
Also naming companies just for fun 🙂

[cerulean lotus]

Put a railway station (3x3) at the edge of the line then it’ll spawn auto

[candid drift]

what edge??

i put 1 station

and the railway

and conndcted to another station

connected

[cerulean lotus]

The end of the elevated railway line

[cerulean lotus]

Maybe you’ll need the urban railway station in the middle of two blocks then it can ont worked?

My layout is like this and trains are effective to spawn,
*UBS-Urban Railway Station (1x1)
*ERS-Elevated Railway Station (3x3)

ERS->UBS->UBS->ERS

[candid drift]

alright

thank u

[south bobcat]

It's in DCIM/Theotown/

[jovial igloo]

this icon should be updated lol

[still jetty]

Merry Christmas

[candid drift]

for the two styles. Euro and american.

[queen moon]

Potatoes

[cerulean lotus]

Or a railroad across

Guys should i build a suspension bridge now

[raw pendant]

Merry Christmas

[marsh jewel]

Merry Christmas!

[queen portal]

Does anyone know if they intend to update the DSA research centre to match the rest of the DSA buildings?

[safe kettle]

not planned

[queen portal]

Dang

I wish it were

[safe kettle]

it's a 6x6 building and it's a lot of effort that I don't get anything in return for

[queen portal]

Fair point

[candid drift]

@hushed pebble progress since yesterday

[plain willow]

use manual building

[candid drift]

alright

never tried

since i didnt want it to look bad

[plain willow]

if you will build manually it will look even better

[flat tinsel]

Remove the house and make it apartment

[candid drift]

Alright, do i start building now, or do i delete every zone and rebuild?

[candid drift]

^

[plain willow]

as you wish

[candid drift]

alright

ill just do manually the other side of the bridge

and keep this one as it is

@plain willow damn

thank u

my demands are getting much better

with manual

[plain willow]

np xd

[harsh cradle]

Is it normal for the game to start lagging at 220 plugins😅😅😅

[candid drift]

um

😭

[harsh cradle]

I have so many plugins and alot of them are of singular buildings😭

my town can't get past 570k population cause the game cam barely run

[jovial igloo]

it depends on your device

you can have 600 and playing normally

[glacial vine]

Is population limited by device ability as well?

[jovial igloo]

No?

Why would they, its just numbers

Its probably how much building youve placed that could weight it down

[glacial vine]

Ahhh isee

[glacial vine]

Wdym by this one? If i place more building it maybe will lag, but shouldn’t make population stop growing right?

It’s just still my old issue, my city stuck with a population number whatever I do 🫠

[jovial igloo]

No there are no limit as to how kuch your population is

[jovial igloo]

At what number?

[glacial vine]

Isee, thank you

[glacial vine]

848k

[jovial igloo]

Yeah i mean.. there shouldnt be a population cap

[glacial vine]

Around that level, building don’t build in zone, and population don’t change as well

So weird lol

[jovial igloo]

But well, im no dev tho but from what i know, there shouldnt be a limit

[glacial vine]

Got it! That’s good to know

[bitter glade]

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.

[jovial igloo]

Yeah you can definetly go above 1M

[jovial igloo]

Ngl some on the influence of these be so small lol, had to place 4 leaning tower of pisa and 2 eiffiel tower on my city to get it covered

[versed timber]

Yeah they could use a buff honestly

[jovial igloo]

Same story for schools

[versed timber]

I can see schools I guess

But the monuments and culture should be abit more ranged

[bitter glade]

Ohh landmark?

[jovial igloo]

Mhm

[glacial vine]

Thank you! yea I know there is cases with more population, I just wonder what limit mine in my case, like maybe device or other stuff

[harsh cradle]

There's this university mod with a school that has a very high influence

Theres 2 highschools and 1 elementary school in that plugin

Academia university plugin

Both highschool has a capacity of 5k students and the elementary school covers 7k students

[jovial igloo]

Plugins are different story

[rocky island]

[versed timber]

You need to follow the demands

It doesn't matter how happy people are if they don't have places to work they won't move in lol

And there is a good demand for industrial

[trail atlas]

This is so annoying 2-3 min it takes to open

[versed timber]

Remove some plugins

[candid drift]

use the original game with 0 plugins 😎

[candid drift]

quick question

does it matter what I say to the dsa ceo asking for a residence?

[versed timber]

can't hurt to say yes

tbh I don't know what happens either way

never really played out that storyline

[candid drift]

alright

[trail atlas]

Am I stupid

[harsh cradle]

Why are your residential connected to highways😭

[bitter glade]

Hmm its just natural building, i don't mind about design

[bitter glade]

It works, tysm

Just look at the Transport Update™©®

[candid drift]

guys

if i play sandbox

will people be mad as frick if their demands arent met instantly

like in other modes

and will they move out the city

?

[blissful timber]

People ain't gonna be mad if their demand aren't met instantly

Usually their house won't improve

Plus, This ain't Zeus or Pharaoh. Your people won't leave your city if you don't provide their house with service and goods

But their house will NOT evolve like i said earlier

[candid drift]

so they wont move out like they do in other modes?

[blissful timber]

They won't, And idk wdym by "other modes"

[candid drift]

easy medium and hard

people move out

if u dont meet their demands

[blissful timber]

Hol up

[candid drift]

is it like that in sandbox too

[blissful timber]

I know this

Slap some factory blocks

[candid drift]

what

doesnt rlly work like that

im just asking

if it works

in sandbox

or are they gonna stay lol

i just wanna make my own city

without having to upgrade it with goods and resources

@blissful timber nvm

u can manage demands to how u want

in sandbox

ol

lol

[blissful timber]

Lol

[versed timber]

While you can do that it doesn't actually impact the game

[limpid vector]

You don't WANT half of your city gone due to some random funni elements

Or your biggest factory deserted due to robbery

[thin sequoia]

Wait I can get robbed?

[deep wren]

It's more a problem of annoyance. If you have a building outside coverage it will eventually have an emergency and that emergency pauses your game probably in the middle of you doing something else wasting your time.

[blissful timber]

What is lil bro even yapped about 💀🙏

[thin sequoia]

I can’t unlock police stations yet

[blissful timber]

Then disaster is averted

You are invincible and immune to those things unless you unlocked fire stations or police stations

[thin sequoia]

Ohh okay

If it’s under like that

Does that mean I don’t need it

Positive demand means there are people wanting that kind of building, which means you don't have enough. Negative demand means you have more available than needed right now, so let them stay empty until they fill up by building other stuff.

[thin sequoia]

Ohhh

So do I always try to build the thing that’s most in demand?

[deep wren]

Not necessarily. If for example you want to build a city with a specific population distribution, you can build the one you want to have more of first, but always build the things that are in demand.

Like when you're in a situation with a lot of demand, you have a choice and can increase whichever you want, for example I might build more Industry T, to increase need for Res T further and then build some bigger Res T plots.

If you do not care what your city looks like or play with zoning, just build whatever you have demand of though.

[hushed pebble]

Mind to share the map seed?

Anyways do you guys have any recommendations for Train-related plugins? I need your review or some good plugins that i can get

[celest moon]

Railroad expansion is a really good train related plugin

one silly sneez and there goes one silly city.

[deep wren]

Jup. That was a heck of a game mechanics test year, Theo pops don't require ethics right?

[hybrid prairie]

LMAOOOOOOO

wait

i cant make those jokes can i?

oh dookie

[deep wren]

i only used a part of the map, could do a bigger test and see if there is an integer overflow at 2 million or something, but not today.

[hybrid prairie]

could you built a city with 230 million?

also can a city actually like

last forever?

without interference?

[spark imp]

Hello

[hybrid prairie]

hi

[spark imp]

Idk how to make a great main road

[hybrid prairie]

nither do i

but to have good traffick focus on having busses, underground metros and making sure your rodes have a good functional pattern

[deep wren]

you could do the same i did but sustainable by making high density buildings for everything, including hospitals and schools and stuff. i only did Industry and Residential, they really just worked to death.

[hybrid prairie]

such as a bunch of sqaures connecting everything

[hybrid prairie]

i thought of that, but i notice how eventually one or happniess noches goes down, and could lead to a downward spiral

i once had a city at 200k or something but had to ultimatly pause it permanently because it kinda looked like it would always fall

and would not rise

[deep wren]

my real city is only at 100k now, but i am happy to see that buildings can have up to one million people, so eventually i might make arcologies and build a futuristic city with really big buildings

[hybrid prairie]

wait so what do you actually need to have a city with a pop that wont ever fade away?

[deep wren]

just play the way you already play, but provide more and more services i would think

[hybrid prairie]

so you dont exactly know?

[deep wren]

i'm new to the game, i was just testing mechanics right now

[hybrid prairie]

oh

im not new

ive played it for about a few months or so

but im returning to it now since i have on desktop\

[deep wren]

i have 30 hours or so in the game

i mostly play PC, but do tests on mobile and stuff

[hybrid prairie]

oh

then you probably have more hours then me

my biggest city was 200k

yours?

[deep wren]

100k

[hybrid prairie]

???

how come?

did you never move up to the really big planes?

[deep wren]

worked on it for 20-30 hours

no i worked over 20 hours on one city

[hybrid prairie]

i lost my city because a bunch of my plugins on phone were deleted

[deep wren]

drawing buildings, terraforming, stuff takes time

i don't do a ton of details, but still getting to 100k was quite a bit of work already

[hybrid prairie]

yeah its pretty gruling

[deep wren]

unless you count my test just now, there i got to 150 million in ten minutes lol

[hybrid prairie]

lol

[deep wren]

i work on a really big map. 9 times the largest regular map

[hybrid prairie]

wowwww

how?

[deep wren]

cr command

[hybrid prairie]

cr command?

[deep wren]

console and then entering a code like this

[hybrid prairie]

cool

[deep wren]

makes big maps

[hybrid prairie]

is it functional with plugins without breaking?

[deep wren]

yes, i have a ton of plugins, even private ones

[hybrid prairie]

private one?

isent there just plugins?

[deep wren]

private plugins are modified game assets that the creator doesn't share. i don't share because i use other buildings as a base and edit them in color or size

[hybrid prairie]

oh so

basically custom plugins that you made and dont wanna show?

not insulting or anything

liegit just stating

[deep wren]

example, the plugin on the left is the regular plugin, but i created main buildings for this apartment block, by making them a bit taller and creating a big sign with the city name.

[hybrid prairie]

THOSE ARE MASSIVE

[deep wren]

it's a private plugin, because most of the building was created by someone else and i just edited it to make it unique for my city

[hybrid prairie]

makes sense?

[deep wren]

and it has my city name on it, so it makes zero sense to share it even if i made that building completely myself tbh

[hybrid prairie]

reasonable

[deep wren]

they are right in city center and supposed to be a landmark for the city

[hybrid prairie]

pretty nice

what other oversized thing do you have?

[deep wren]

not much yet

when my city is bigger i will make a landmark tower

[hybrid prairie]

good luck man!!!

[spark imp]

what thta?

[naive vessel]

eyyo hahahahahahaha

[spark imp]

?

[bitter glade]

I thought there was a dock in this game, but it turns out there isn't. Sad

[versed timber]

There are ports

[wintry drift]

Me when harbor zone and dock plugins.

[hybrid prairie]

whats good for a large zone of culture?

and do you have a plugin?

that is really good?

[safe kettle]

there's no picture

[timid parcel]

Sometimes I'm able to construct pipelines but other times I can't. I don't know what is preventing it; I can't figure out the rule. Now I've been trying to run a pipe line through a building in the other direction (check the picture) but I can't.

[timid parcel]

Sorry, poor network kicked me out.

[safe kettle]

and which building is the problem here

you just can't build along the arrow?

[timid parcel]

Yes I can't

[safe kettle]

you're in debt of course you can't build anything

[timid parcel]

Sometimes it may be residential buildings. Currently I can't run it underneath a school building

[timid parcel]

Oh, my bad 😄

I don't always take note of that.

Thanks

[safe kettle]

you're welcome

[timid parcel]

How do I take loans? Is there a way?

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.

[candid drift]

lower tax

[regal bough]

thank you so much!

[timid parcel]

These sad faces on buildings. How do I know what they really want?

[celest moon]

You can click the buildings and see what they're unhappy of

Also dude it seems you have no money. Are you in the red (debt)? Maybe raise some taxes and build more zones.

Does anyone know if there's a way to regulate tax?

How to increase or reduce taxes.

[fickle meteor]

the coin thing

yknow

like

the slugamabob when u click on demand

theres a row of options on top

u click on the coin

[deep wren]

yes it's called financials and there you have + and _ button for all tax brackets

[timid parcel]

Here?

[deep wren]

don't you see the + and -?

there you can change it from 7% to other values

[timid parcel]

Thanks. I got it.

[deep wren]

i won't touch it though

[timid parcel]

I never knew it's clickable

[deep wren]

make a backup of your city first

have heard bad stuff about messing with that

[timid parcel]

Whoa

Okay

[fickle meteor]

yeppo

i need mod suggestions

mods that make my city look ghetto

[glacial vine]

No, touch the ++ 🌝

In starting a new city, what is the sandbox option about?

No money to worry about, no unlock requirement

Okay 👍🏽

[deep wren]

you can always transfer a game into a sandbox though (but not back)

[blissful timber]

Me after destroying my city that consist of 3 days of hard work be like :

(Btw this is an Illustration of that destroyed city)

Flat and smooth land filled with items that were present above

[deep wren]

ok

time to start fresh and build with knowledge you have learnt from this city

for example a better street layout and putting industrial zone further away from the city

[blissful timber]

Nope

Clutter everything up into one big pile of abomination

[deep wren]

then why did it take 3 days?

[blissful timber]

Because i specifically built it in stacks?

[deep wren]

hard to see, not much left of it

[blissful timber]

Because i turned it into Hiroshima during 1945

Smouldering Ruins indeed

[deep wren]

if that's how you enjoy playing the game go for it.

[blissful timber]

Wrong

I love doing shenanigans

And that's how i look at Theotown

A game that lack some tomfoolery and comedy to begin with

[deep wren]

i did some yesterday as well #town-square message

[blissful timber]

Theo population definitely do not required to have ethics

In fact. for every second passed in my cities, A citizen gets deported to the chamber

And no need further explanation for what is the "chamber"

[timid parcel]

Holy cr*p! Please tell me what happened. I don't wanna end up like this.

[hushed pebble]

Attempting to build railway system, hopefully it goes smooth

[blissful timber]

I did not give sufficient amount of water to my NPP

Aka, Nuclear Power Plant

And then it goes kaput and my cities looks like Chernobyl

[south goblet]

What do they mean ? :p

That's fine

And no, It's not that hard to clean up a city that got turned into chernobyl

[hexed relic]

Hi.. i have some questions.. please enlighten me

1. What do you do to some building when there's bug spray image
2. When i build manual zone building, and there's crime, but the police too late to go to the building. Then, the building turn dark. What can i do to make the building light up colourful again?

[timid parcel]

It looks as though your entire city got wiped out with a nuclear missile weapon.

[blissful timber]

I placed the Nuclear Power Plant on each corner of my city

And place the final touching on the center

[harsh cradle]

click on it.....

[fickle meteor]

click gelumium and place it on your city

[timid parcel]

Don't play pranks on me, man. 😂 This looks like I want to ruin my own city with my own hand

[safe kettle]

you know you can just save and reload

[timid parcel]

It seems like the developers are suggesting we ruin our own city with disaster?

[timid parcel]

Teach me how to do that please.

I know how to save, but reloading, I don't

[safe kettle]

you quit the game without saving and enter the city again?

[timid parcel]

I'm afraid my simulation does auto-save.

You know what, I think I'm never gonna touch that disaster tab.

[safe kettle]

then don't

you can disable autosaves in the settings

[timid parcel]

Maybe when I start a new city, I'll try it out

[timid parcel]

All right, thanks 👍🏽

[south goblet]

What do for reduce traffic problem

[safe kettle]

maybe don't make everything go through a single intersection

[south goblet]

Open spaced city ? :p

[safe kettle]

??

[south goblet]

Like, rectangular 8-Block plots of land with 2 roads in between them ?

[safe kettle]

I have no idea what are you talking aobut

I just told you not to direct all the traffic to a single intersection

[south goblet]

But how that work

We can direct traffic where to go Manually ?

Also do this layout tit for reducing traffic ?

It is rectangular, has 8 homes in it, and is surrounded by 2 Lanes of Express way on each side

[royal harbor]

Hello, may i ask is the plugin (if there is) that able to build specific zone level (ie. Level 1/poor resindetial only)?

[harsh fiber]

um....am i just reliving my life.....or am i just losing my mind...because i feel like i seen these chats once before...idk maybe im just insane.

[celest moon]

Uh what?

[harsh fiber]

basically the guy who sent the pic about traffic issues...i feel like i remember seeing that once before

[celest moon]

Ok? Maybe it's a different person? A load of people ask about traffic problems in this game

Especially newbies

[harsh fiber]

the sad thing is it wasnt a different person, as Egoris was the exact name that i remember seeing post before, and the map he posted was the same as the last traffic issue i seen

might been different issue same city

actually...that makes more sense, as he mayve had another issue and posted the same pic of a different issue as both name and pic are same city, different issues or so i remember

it was like around last month or october when i seen that pic.

[south goblet]

I wasn't around :o

I joined this month

Why aren't these drivers using that red road I circled I'm trying to free up the traffic abit

Work Harder, Not Smarter

Ai takes fastest type of road until it can't anymore. Best solution is to not have houses next to those bigger avenues.

Here is my solution to traffic: #town-square message

And of course there is this help as well, Ptag traffic

[wheat bramble]

Building a runway

The yellow lines are weird, I still dont know how to align them properly

[blissful timber]

There is too much traffic on this road!!!!!!!

[wooden hamlet]

I don't think they wanna use it

[wheat bramble]

I love investing all of my money on useless roads that people wouldnt use

[glacial vine]

Ig the issue is algo don’t take traffic jam into consideration when select road

But that prob is too much calculation for a light model

[wooden hamlet]

why did I only get 2 pickles on my burger!?

[glacial vine]

Whot lol

[violet musk]

You don’t have to, it’s TheoTown related

[wooden hamlet]

Why is it so hard to resist making grid based roads!??

try not to get scared, 1 sentence horror stories

I forgot to build a fire station, so I sat there watching as my city burned to ashes.

[blissful timber]

You don't have to

Just start building fire station and either wash down your diamonds to instantly finish it or watch an ads for it

[wooden hamlet]

part of the joke

[blissful timber]

I usually do that when i forgor to put some fire station

In any case, going to support an city without fire hazard everywhere. I need to spam 1 fire station per grid

the channel i posted is for theo town memes 👍
