I'm learning how to edit, grayscale maps online bruh
I even have Projec- I mean Social Housing
Making unique region height maps
67
Route 67
oh my goodness my game keeps being laggy when I open it
plugins aren't needed just good build hierarchy and reducing dupes
Same here
That's nice
Do you like mine?
No
Why? What Could i Improve?
Just kidding hahahah it's nice also it's so clean
What plugin?
I like it but the suburbs shouldn't be next to the projects
Projects are in the hood usually or lower income areas
Those arent the Suburbs
These are the Suburbs
I think those are Base game
Thx
Use lvl 1 housing for it not lv2
And remove that police station lol
So theres actually crime
I have no police enforcement in my mlk area
Got it
It looks good nonetheless
How do you like the Actual Suburbs Tho?
Any tips for those?
Make the roads have turns that make it unwalkable
Make the houses cookie cutter
Ok, So the Cul-de-sacs, I usally build it like that but i found it more efficeint to use squares
Got it
Get your gift
Gift for what?
looks very america
guys what road is this i really want it im getting tired of manually making it
Advanced roads are manually made parts by parts
yes ik its an advanced road but what plugin is it
ive been using the one in the plugin store for a while now
It looks like the Philippines road pack
Even if its not, thats the pack you're looking for
how about this?
Bruh
Which sounds better, Cloud Islands or Nimbus Islands?
Nimbus
Urban hell๐ญ
phillipine roads
(that the name of the plugin)
can you guys merge one big chunk of region map into one
like theres 4 subdivisions of a region
can you merge 2 of them
Am I still the richest
How's possible a lot of gems?
I get lazy
You just play
Prolly only spent money like once
(And that was by accident)
But idc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_rdDIQQ-YadCxPGzqNso58dk4n4G9qYOiC0vEwVJZr8/edit?usp=drivesdk here's the doc, it can provide an insight on how help gets sent out

Why are 99% of the game plugin makers from Asia lol
that's like asking why 80% of the world lives in asia
I understand but I would expect way more western audience
well theo was asian if im correct
Brave AI says its a german game
99%? smh
a few more flying saucers maybe?
Eyyy
Tf did you do?
There's a lot of central and eastern European too from what I've seen
How do u have 2mil with a airport like that bro ๐ญ
mhm
Idk hahahah I redesigned my airport because it's ugly af
I will make a continuation for this but for a system older than the current one to see the comparison between the two dispatching systems
My fault I didnt respond I was posting on my tiktok sorry
what do i do about traffic like these? i have a small village with a taxi depot
what building is this
I want theotown have somethings like itโs can make a time allow trafics
Like truck can run on that lane from 6:00 to 18:00
That's a lotta gemz
this isnt even connected
and avoid making an area where theres only 1 road where cars get in and get out
give it more routes and exits to flow
preferably not too close to each other
Hey, can i ask something?
Sure?
You play genshin right?
Used to
Let's go to #seeds-n-maps we can't talk about it here
Done putting the pollution wall it cost half a million ๐
couldve used redwood trees

Yeah lol I'm planning that a few moments ago the 3d tree looks ๐
1 explosion and its gonna turn into Chernobyl
Do it
Nah bro my tablet gon explode too
Only half a million, I'm about to waste literally more cuz I'm gonna add pollution walls all around my city borders
Tf that could reach billions hahahah
I notice the more you buy the more it gets expensive, so I will raise taxes to industry
Cops are getting criticised, again, for responding late to a disturbance. It's never easy to be a cop in modern times...
80
why not just make industrial zones separate from living zones, the pollution doesnt even spread that far
No, it's not to get rid of pollution, it's to make it look like i placed a massive wall to protect my city from the outside lol
Yeah, decoration purposes, expensive decoration
Nah, my city name's Theria Sanctuary, it's a very cozy and safe place, and only 1% all taxes, i already got "Tax Haven" city achievement lol
thats probably what you tell all your citizens
uh guyytss
mr dictator
is there any layoput i can follow for my roads i keep getting traffic
@sacred cliff are you even alive?
theres a thing called road hierarchy
I'm not a dictator
what's that
If i was a dictator, no one would've joined my region lol
is it okay if i destroy my city?
A road hierarchy is a system for categorizing roads. Road networks worldwide are typically organized according to one or more schemes:
Functional classification reflects a roadโs intended role, balancing mobility (efficient through movement) and access (reaching properties) by defining a clear hierarchy from arterials (including limited-acces...
read this
i dotn want to reset my rank
If you do that the population demands gonna go bad, unless you're on manual building, and not zoning
ohh yeah i didnt think about that
thanks
She's in a different region building. She abandoned the first region cuz the city plots are too big for her ๐ญ
She prefers medium sized plots cuz it's easier to make small cities/towns
No its not that advanced in theotown @dapper roost , but the theory works well. so dont put huge living zones right next to a highway. rather have an arterial go there which also goes to other zones, which are called local roads
You can visit her new region, it's name is Paradise Land
Hmmmm
Are you there?
Yeah, it's a full snowy island, with the exception of my plot, which is a Sakura Island lol
Did she actually disabled plugins?
Yeah
So you gonna have to play with vanilla buildings lol
Phack
I haven't started building there cuz I'm still busy with the old region, i wanna finish my 1st online city
Well then, my new town's city layout is already drawn so I will also start to work on it
Oke
At the top you see a highway, which is separated into an arterial, that goes into 2 parts of my city, the one you see down there and another one west. The intersection where it turns to the city is usually called a local road, but in this context it kinda stays arterial since its the only way out of that city. But you get the point @dapper roost
I'm planning to upload another region after I'm done with the first one, but I won't be playing on it cuz I'll be building in Aster's new region next lol
Well this is the layout of my new town, taken from Greater Noida sector 150, the most expensive sector of Greater Noida
Oh
Actually, If you are interested then I will tell you an fun fact about this Greater Noida thing
Server ranks
Oh
Just keep chatting
Alr
Is there like a level up system
Like Arcane or smth
Yep,there is. You level up and got those inhabitants role.
Go to the #bot-commands and type Plevel
This game Is making me go no Life how complex It gets
Nah, it just needs a lot of time and dedication to make a highly detailed city, but you don't have to do it in one go, take your time and just enjoy, if you ever get burnouts, just take a break and continue building once you feel like doing it again
My current city's actually around 2 weeks old now and it's still nowhere near finished, cuz i stop building from time to time to take a break
Mine Is Just full of stuff
Im Just experiencing with it
Huh?
Sorry i was trying to line It up
Im getting It to max level Just to see the limits of the game without landscaping and editing
Max level is 64, also the more you build, the more inhabitants in your city, the faster you level up
Thanks Patrick
Hiiiii
Is there a way to join the beta through IOS?
I want to see the beta but I'm an Apple user, and I can't access
You can't use this app to test the beta either?
It's an official Apple app to be able to access betas of app store applications
I have no idea what that app is
does the 15 minutes achievement pause when you pause the game
nowadays i like to lay down dirt roads before i build the city
great question
or spend a minute click around all my city info tabs
What are some other plugin servers?
Miuku, ren, Ross
They have their own plugins in their servers
Yes I'm alive
Do you mind sending me the server links ?
Yeah sure
Thanks !!
Check dms
have anyone tried the new "airport bound traffic" feature
i talked about how cars rarely travels between cities not long ago, and a day later, they increased the traffic to neighbouring cities.
love this game
can i stop the buildings from rotating when i rotate my map
only a few buildings rotate
if it has 4 frames itll follow your map rotation
if not then it wont rotate unfortunately
this plugin has 6 i think
(im currently working on a plugin that adds rotation to vanilla buildings
)
i need them to stay in this orientation
so any solution?
well, the plugin is like that
hmm okay mrc
theres a couple of buildings with complete 4 rotation
Hello
I need your help urgently, my city is growing, and I want to put highways in it, the city is inspired by Bangkok
Could you give me some advice?
(the city has a river in the middle)
Screenshot pls
Sure, I took it from above, if you want I'll send you the map, then you can rate the city for me.
If I don't answer today, I'll answer tomorrow, goodbye.
Philippines road pack but if you want a bit more advanced then advanced road or The Leaf Road Expansion Pack
is it possible to set all tenement buildings to one color?
The game has levels?
Kind of
Your Town can level up
For example level 64 Is called big infinity and its the max level
Can it level up in Sandbox?
no
Oh okay
bump
no
just updated to .30 and got this
update aparently uh, made 1 power plant plugin broken
not really broken just it doesnt produce power anymore
scared me for a second
thats one crunchy city
is the ship at the bottomright from Efranz
Looking Dutch with the dam
The power stones
In that circle put a clover interchange to make it more functional
It's pretty decent city and the roads are pretty much the problem; those dead ends on road outside the center needs to be connected to each other.
My electricity broke too?
why
Im on 30p
and it either increased my electricity usage or lowered its production
im not sure which lol
What do you mean
New beta upgrade changed electricity supply
idk either it broke the floating wind turbine plugin
or it just changed some base values
Thank you justanyone
finally the route is actually realistic
What to do in this gaem
Aw man
What does this mean?plss enlighten me
Must be the plugins you downloadex
for example, no more overpowered parks or powerplants
So no more parks that cover 1/4th of the map
I think its a bit of an unnecessary change as it didnt really hurt not to have 7 parks in one zone as they didnt cover all of them. i think some of the ''op'' parks for example were more realistic than the ones we have rn.
But i guess devs know best
idk if it was used for cheating but im on pc anyway so idk
the entire plugin store and plugin related limitations make sense for the android version
Ohh, can you help me with something? I can't do it on phone, i hope it works on your pc
for steam it's just peak bs though
yeah i kinda liked having those floating windmills make all my power
i dont want to spam them
whats up?
Could you make a region for me using the debug mode console commands?
can i maybe make a feedback to dev or is this as they say ''written in stone''?
go ahead
ig i can try but i have never used them
where would i do that
it most likely won't be considered though
I'm gonna be honest that channel might as well not exist
I have the commands set, you just need to copy paste it, and run the command, the game will try to make it depending on the power of your pc
dm me or sumn imma try
damn wassup with this
Sent it
Can you send a screenshot of the region when its done? I wanna see if it's correct
yeahofc
This modulable paris building plugin is cool
None of my schools work anymore
Thats not good
Every service plugin i have has now stopped working
every park school and electricity
Word! Mind saying the plugin name?
its the first plugin in new and updated
idk therte wasnt any feedback channel so i just put it in suggestions
i think that change has been the only change which ive seen is for the worse
i opened the game and everything was a chaos
i don't have money anymore, my city is at 50% happiness because of the lack of services
no energy
no water
no school
Just turn on uber mode at this point
Im not gonna be replacing those buildings
since theyre kinda integrated in my design
and i cant just start deleting everything and putting a bunch of other stuff in it
itd ruin my city
im waiting to arrive home to transfer all my cities
to where
well, is beta testing after all, literally our purpose is to report all this lol
pc
yeah but where
so i dont lose anything
i mean this is horrible, all beta testers may lost their cities
nah if you revert back to normal versions its gonna be normal again
You will lose the transport though
main thing im worried about if that gets through to the final version
i dont like that at all
Very limiting to both city builders and plugin makers
so everybody
a simple solution would be to simply revert the changes to existing plugins and only apply the limitations to new ones
Yeah ig so
or just limit it to a reasonable amount?
so usually, not the whole map
maybe make the limit by size and cost of whatever building?
or, like cities skylines, by road infrastructure. but thats looking too far i think
yeah
not destroying all the entire cities that may have plugins
that might not be as simple though considering it's most likely the game that imposes those limits
and not the plugin store system
Greetings!
I need a little bit of advice:
Is there a way to increase wealth faster/attract more middle class and wealthy citizens? (besides decreasing taxes. I already keep them lower if in can afford doing so)
Or is it a slow process i gotta wait longer for?
Are you using zones?
What do you mean? Like, placing down the zones and letting the game autobuild in them?
Yeah
I do place down zones but i build the buildings on them myself, according to the demands. Mostly because whenever i let the game autobuild, it spams the same buildings
Would letting it autobuild help me in this?
just satisfy all citizens needs, place parks, cultural influence, waste management, management
non-essential resources like those attract wealthy citizens
No, you have to build manually to properly get them balancing
If i'm already doing that, do in just need to wait more?
Ah, alright. I thought I was doing something wrong
Maybe you forgot one essential need to satisfy citizens
wait and make sure that you cover all zones
P something
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 DM'd you something new
Alright, thank you!
I was already working towards these goals so i guess i only have to do it better
@outer narwhal, sorry, i didn't saw your message, what were you gonna say
sandbox requirements filler got cut following the beta update
losing all ma works w with this one 
Some of these plugins straight up dont WORK
Not limited, instead they just dont work at all
Oh, i think they nerfed some of the current plugins to "balance" out OP
Pleasures of a beta...
Yeah this
Sometimes they do crazy nonsense
Where can i complain
I dont think thats the right place
I think you've made your voice heard
I think the devs will see that more than anywhere else lmao
Okay i get you
In days gone by we had a #beta-feedback, channel... but it got frequently misused so it was scraped
Don't worry, they gather player insights, i just hope they balance it out properly, although i do agree with the plugin influence limitations cuz it's becoming too OP having 1 police station cover all the city
But there was no such police station
And usually there is actually one police station per city...
It was just an example
Helsinki, a city of 600-800k has one singular police station
I think if they want to keep this then they havw to beef up some stuff
In terms of vanilla values
I meant that there was no OP stuff
like there was this one park
which was kinda op
but everything else was fine
I mean OP is relative lol
Anything that way out preforms the vanilla assets and doesn't scale costs correctly, would technically be OP
Because ya know OP is relatively to the game, and the gameplay intentions and what have you
Nah. if it gets through moderation i dont think its op
Though from the standpoint of, letting the player play how they want... it's harmful for sure
Then we just have two different definitions lmao
also i paid for the game so i shouldnt have these limitations which are for people grinding gems
I also paid for the game lmao
ah i see
And if the devs want to push me towards playing the game as intended... it's their game
I mean
It is a city builder game, there is no intended strategy though
But at the end of the day A) it's a beta so you get what you get
By default it's a city building game
and to make cities you must be...?
It goes creative if you choose to make it so
But there's nothing inherently creative about placing zones, and matching radi of service buildings
Nature of the beast honestly
Well be it anything, i dont think they should be pushing us towards anything
like
I mean
uhh
how do i explain this
Maybe in one message would be ideal xD
And I get what you mean
I'm not saying that I agree with the change at all
I get it haha
But i dont see limiting service boundaries helping anything, contributing to anything tbh
Yeah I'd agree
It's not great...
And I'd really have to see how it's justified outside of the words to help with moderation
Hey but we'll see if it makes into final, i'd like them to reduce the limit or ideally revert it back to what it was
yeah
I do hope this is the one thing thag gets reverted back
I think it definitely hurts the player base
Guys does anyone know the shortcut to change building variants on theotown pc?
I don't wanna keep clicking the buttons on the right, kind of a hassle
try tab
Ok this works, thanks!
testing stuff idk
Will this style work? Like will the city look good when I build it on this layout?..(ignore that I named the City Atlantis.. it should have been Archipelago๐)
maybe split those grids
itno smaller ones
and also are they not symmetrical or are my eyes fooling me
Oh i see the outer ones are bigger and innner ones smaller i see the vision now
Six seven
It's not symmetrical
It's off by one or two squares
67๐๐ฅ
Yeah they are not symmetrical..and I was thinking I'd make them like you know Low density Commercial and Residential on the outer side and high density like Skyscrapers on the core..๐ซค
It's hard to make Symmetrical.. who wanna count all those grids and make them symmetrical?.. I just guess the spot and move on๐
i dont think its hard to make it symmetrical but i see your point
i mean its just counting
which is built in to the road builder
oh wow, holy
update disabled all OP plugins automatically, i can finnaly earn achivements

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.
Way to unrealistic. That roundabout is not going to handle that much traffic volume; I suggest you keep the 4 lanes going till the meet in the middle and put a 4 lane roundabout; to have it connected to the land put exits on all four-four lane road.
@versed crystal In the future, if you are just wanting to look through tags, use #bot-commands
Can I use trains to supply the launching pad space thing? If yes how?
What did I do
Ohh I get it
As I said... if you are just doing Ptag (whatever) use #bot-commands unless you are helping someone
Okay brah
I love our Mayor's
Airport bound traffic meaning?
the airport binds traffic
How to speed up supply?
Is this available in base game or are you using mods? As I know I saw Space station and rocket Launching pad in the DSA Section or whatever
For the rocket station, I still use DSA
so uh with the new cloud save
do people still manually and temporarily remove the plugin folders to go for achievements and then put it back in after
idr what building is from plugin or not sometimes
but i've also tried to find the folder to take it out or copy paste it elsewhere as back up
Bro wtf
this new beta update just killed my city
schools and parks got messed up
Do plugins downloaded from places other than the store still give high radial boosts
Are you on the latest beta update?
yes
Yeah many people are reporting and they don't like it. I hope the devs see this cause it seems like many people just don't like the update
I'm guessing it's the "Add limits for non privileged building properties to make plugin moderation easier" is responsible for this
yes
Yeah definitely, of course i appreciate the devs trying to balance the game out, but it doesn't seem like this change was exactly needed yknow?
Hope they take the communitys feedback into consideration, its kind of game breaking for existing players
Was the theotown beta program a thing in 2017
That's common
Build it nearby industrial buildings, more specifically, these
Just made it to 130k residents
How
Inflation
Because of this update I'm now kinda regretting spending money on diamonds to get plugins tbh
Get a refund
well, as someone who hasn't used any plugins (except for the official ones made by Devs) I'm not affected much by it
What if airport transport update just thinking
Fr
@faint knoll Seen in gc
I updated to latest beta version and my city is completely messed up. Now like all my services and public demands don't cover the vast majority of my city, devs need to revert this change
Yeah true
my city was entirely covered by all services and needs and now everything is red in all categories
this update just literally broke the game for existing players
is there any way for me to revert to the old version?
you could stop using the beta but that'll send you back to 23a
downdating 
I think that would corrupt the city if you tried to load it on an older version, since there's new content from beta
Hi guys so how do I make my city or town online
Upload the region, but first make a "TheoTown forum account"
Did make it
You need enough gems to upload it
Oke
Also how do I like rotate my buildings
Who agrees that dsa speedroad doesn't even get used
And it also need diagonal frames.
Swat cars also need diagonal frames
And garbage trucks which ruin my city with traffic ๐ญ
yo theotown developer is cooking, the update is non stop
Great. Can't wait to see diagonal garbage trucks and swat cars
check your playstore there's a new beta update
Definitely not worth the risk idk what corals on about
I use speed roads ;-;
Do you also agree they need to be diagonal
I don't use much diagonal roads cuz of the broken car animation drifting sideways on them, but if all cars could go vertically and horizontally then I'd also use them
Real
did the devs fixed the issue?
I have a few diagonal roads in my city, and it's fun to watch ambulances, taxi cars, and some other vehicles jump side to side like animals on vertical/horizontal roads. it looks hilarious ๐
idk who uses the dsa speed road
But the fact that monthly price for them is 25T is eusauguagh
Yeah like they are too expensive too just use express ways and one lane highways ToT
Not offending tho
I use it commonly on commercial and industrial areas
i think would be cooler if they added one way dsa road
creds:vienna
Ye it would be good if it has bridges and tunnels too
real
i honestly wondered
how rare is it for a car crash accident to happen in your city
99.99% from the traffic
Volume warning, recording seems to make the volume to high
This is what i meant about cars jumping side to side like animals its funny and cute XD
Theyr kinda cute ngl smol cars being flamed
99% ๐ no wonder why i dont see it often
recording doubles the volume i think
How do you have 100% happiness
Yeah it doubles the volume
Real
All residential, commercial, and industrial buildings have all their demands met + 1% taxes to all. Everyone happi
i wish i could make a mosque plugin
but idk how to code and how to draw
want the mosque to act like the suburban houses plugin where the color is randomized
anyways ima sleep
They should bring back the old ui
I think thats possible with debug mode
Fr
HOW DO YOU EARN MONEY!?
Multi billionaire?
75k from ICMB, 50k from military silos, a 25k+ airport, some deduction from city maintenance and services, i still earn about 60k++
Lemme show you my city's financial report
Can you donate me some gems so I can buy military
How do you earn from waste disposal and parks?
Six seven earning ToT
The buyback center, maximize the performance to 200%
Now I need to find some redeem codes to make a buyback center
Btw how many emeralds do you have evi?
I have a lot
I found ways to save gems whilst spending them which i would not disclose cuz i don't want another mod warning
I currently have 35k
Donate me the 5k
That's not possible ;-; unless it's online, i can only gift โฎ coins
I don't think gems could be gifted
Donate with dollas ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ธ
I'ma go do hw or I'ma get whooped
bye
Byee
It is?
Maybe, i haven't tried
how and why does the legacy toolbar still exist
"Use toolbar" in user interface
Why is there a grenade there
military thing
new icons in the beta program
Oh
Can you even play like that
Bruh why is the military icon a grenade instead of a tank
why wouldn't it be
It's rather confusing now
you can't redesign something that's older than a decade and have it be not confusing
I actually thought the grenade was a new disaster type...
okay
The tank actually best represented the military
well I'm sorry but I'm not changing it
It could be rank insignias, it best represents the military too
that sounds like a terribly unreadable idea for a 26x26 ixon
Oh... Hmm...
could be easily mistaken for just some abstract arrow symbols
Maybe any of these?
my guy I'm not changing it
I don't really know which fits
I appreciate the feedback but I really don't need any of this
Oke
I dont think it makes very much sense to use army insignia in a city building game that doesn't really put a lot of emphasis on building an army
you could probably make a plug in for it if you really wanted
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I think evimeria is onto something kulche, a grenade could mean anything
the terrorists have a grenade wouldn't consider them a military force
Maybe change the icon to a bullet with a rank insignia at the head, and if u want grenades u can put tint balls at the bottom of the bullet
terrorists also have bullets and you wouldn't consider them a military force
the grenade is good as is
Fr
Don't install at any cost
Well who wants a new disaster or retextured disasters like everybody wants ts
Next one I'm just going to ban you lmao
lol
What... is that...
that phenomenon is called arabfunny
meme which used to be really popular couple years ago
New update
for beta
They did not remove the limits
aww
They adjusted them
alright ill see how it is now
But if my schools are still broken and dont influence at all im gonna complain again ๐คฃ
but what does over-the-air mean in this case?
Is that your own plugin or a downloaded one?
Downloaded plugin
I would assume #information may help you figure that out
these ones broke
Report it on #broken-plugins
Oh thanks evan i didnt even notice that channel
its not broken per se
it just got hit with them limits
Yeah
As per #information... if it still doesn't work after the update then note it in the proper place
Aka #broken-plugins
Here is no longer the place
Thank ya
it isn't only supply plugins that got affected with this change right
like I have ankhatori's big hospital and now it's range is like 10 tiles away from the building
Please please just read #information
yeah yeah I read it. but It doesn't make sense to me to brute force all existing plugins to fit in this rules, this will affect existing cities even by a little
As it says for balancing
like if it ain't broken don't touch it
And playing the game as intended
If you make a game then you can make it as your please ๐
But getting people to play a game as you intend sometimes requires unpopular changes
Do I agree with it, not necessarily... but I understand it for sure
game is a sandbox city builder, isn't it? like, if I create a plugin, that I don't distribute it, only for my city and my use, I'm gonna be capped to this change as well
so I'm not free anymore
yeah sandbox I didnt mean by the mode, I mean by all the free play and possibilities, even in non-sandbox
I mean no then lol
Any building game that inherently has limits via services and such is not just a sandbox
like I only play on regular mode. I was a former plugin creator btw. I created in the past plugins for personal use that are like, big range small price, only for my use in a specific city, and didn't distribute it, and it will be capped by this new change
So have I lmao
Like I said
I'm not agreeing with this change
But I think it's also incorrect to assume that the devs are making a bad choice by encouraging players to play within the games bounds
can't theotown use flags like, buildings that were already built would not be affected by this change, or like already established cities not affected, only new ones
this would 'fix' it
How would you even do that lmao
yeah I'm just asking
I think even leaving things that are grandfathered in, still would defeat the intent. But I do agree that would be helpful for the issye
For me the balance is actually reasonable, like sticking the influence radius to both building height and monthly cost is actually true realistically
Image a small station with more than 200+ radius and very cheap cost
yeah but in a city there isn't like a school every other block. with this change and using vanilla schools for example its necessary to do so
That's way too unrealistic
I think alternatively buffing the games vanilla values would help balance things out
Since some of those do have comically small
like sometimes there is one firefighters headquarters for a whole city (in rl), and it's all good, no need for a firefighter every neighborhood, if the game's aiming for realism this should be addressed don't u think so
Well, as JustAnyone said, uber mode lol
I think that's a stupid answer from him too
Generally, I just think the execution of this is... eh
I never played sandbox mode, i don't like the concept of infinite money
This is what i mean
Don't get me wrong folks I am on your side on this
otherwise im fine with it because i dont really care
But its not like really city buildery to assume that every street has its own school
I dont think thats how it should be done
this is a SimCity thing to have an firefighter in every block, theotown doesn't need to be like this. one of the main aspects for me to like theotown is exactly this: the freedom, and, for me, capping something is totally opposite to freedom
But if its relaxed enough i think its fine, but ill have to see it myself
the update hasnt been pushed yet
Exactly, theotown is much better than this
I think we could expect to have tall building stations soonโข because to increase the radius of influence, the buildings must go higher and also more costly
i dont think youre understanding the point here
tall buildings does not always equal more reach
i think reach should actually work by road infra, not bubbles like rn
But thats besides my point anyway and thats a thing for the future
Yeah, everything still on beta
thing is though, rn i need to put a school on every 4th or 5th block which in my opinion is unreasonable
and does not look good
We can expect it to change laterยฎ cuz this game IS a community driven game after all
since there isnt many schools in cities anyway
check information
Im guessing thats here to stay
In my town there's like 2 major schools, a lot of minor schools, and a few colleges (im talking about irl)
About same
But if i would take my part of the city (not for scale), theres 3 schools for like 20k people
2 of them being lower edu
1 of them higher
and no colleges
its an island of about 20km^2
Yeah, rather strange for TheoTown to not have colleges
Yeah
Both
I still dont know the difference xdd
but yeah there is 1 university in Helsinki
or like 2
So that should be a nice scale
I'm still kinda glad i haven't used any QoL plugins outside the official ones
I'm not going to be heavily affected by the changes
To be honest, theyre there because they need to be there. If theres a QoL plugin of some topic, that usually means the vanilla game has not got a solution for that
Usually with every game its the same
If theres QoL mods for any game on any topic in the game, that usually means that devs have not addressed it. But thats just my view of things
more culture real??
Does the uber mode work around even matter for beta PC users?
True, as for me, the only thing I'm really complaining about is the lack of content for space exploration and colonization of the DSA, i mean, other games with similar content actually adds more to their space program ingame, whilst in TheoTown, it's just an extra feature to just unlock the 2 most OP powerplants in the game...
i mean yeah ig but it would be nice to have it actually functional too not just artificial looks
lets remember that dsa was a plugin at the time too..
Wait, it was?
Dang...
i'd like to ask what is the intended purpose of these limits, i'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around it
So they never updated it since?
all i know is that it just screwed all my values to nothing
they did ofc but it just was a plugin at the time
What does that mean
i have yet to see how this new update works since i'm away from my pc so imma bite my tongue for right now
so not to have unfair influence with 2x2 buildings and 1โฌ/month upkeep
Oh
There was none of those kinds of plugins but you get the point
Do you earn money if you level up your city in mobile?
My city's already max level so i guess?
yeah give it a bit its a slow rollout
all this made me think to ask how exactly do you guys use the game for, like i know some people play with the financial aspect of city building, but i for one play for the art of city and road design
i couldnt care less if the financials sit at a whopping negative million
go look at review grudges its funny
I haven't even gotten beta update 30 and they've already released update 31 ๐ญ
Holy sht my schools stopped from working and my city got collapsed ๐ญ
Oof
I've always disabled autosave cuz it's a dangerous feature lol
I like to be able to return back to my previous progress if i felt like i messed up my city in some way
I can't take off autosave anymore everytime i exit out the app on my phone it restarts bc of all the plugins i have
Oof
my phone thinks its more efficient to shut down the app everytime rather than keep it on
have gotten a bit better at making roads in rural areas
is there a way to have more lanes to roads without the border thing?
Because of update 30 or 31?
1.12.30a 
I don't care with autosave
does the beta update still nerf plugin's influences?
im glad they made so that parks can have culture influence
there's not many free culture influenced buildings in the game
the only building i know is just the Old Ducth Windmill
Did they "fix" the influence issue in the new update?
what influence issue?
There are some plugins that give a bigger influence, mainly schooling and culture. After second most recent update they nerfed those plugins so it'll be easier to moderate new plugins so it can be balanced. Unfortunately i was using one of those plugins mainly for schools and it totally killed like half my city
I noticed something like that
i think its cause of my java's version or too many plugins
i have something around 800 plugins
yeah it was my java's version. You can try it too, I will send you the link
now its working normally
Is the influence nerf fixed?
How to move plugin files to another device?
Use the in game file manager to move all the files from the first device, so a file transfer app, and from there to the new device
Is there a way to disable wahtever's in the game that thinks im ready to place a building
sometimes im counting how many tiles until im ready to put it down
i keep on having to exit and reclick the building until im ready
What?
i click a building from menu planning to put it down
i see the green influence but im not ready to put it down yet
the game thinks im ready and i can't move it anymore and there's a button on top right
maybe a screenshot could help
So
Stop clicking the building haha
Once you click the building, and then click the same place on the building that game interpretes it as a double click/tap
I assume that is what you're taking issue with
after x seconds the game stop letting me move my building in planning
and then there's a button in top right corner saying to build
I'm pretty sure you can either just click a different tile or drag it and drop
i have a region with a 1.5M population and one of these of these citys on my region is full of these puglins what the update nerfed ๐
There should be no nerf on influence lol. Service buildings gets repetitive
And we it limits creativity and aesthetic when your are doing Easy, Middle, Hard
does anyone know what happened to the plugin by lobby
that gets the new bus and train system in the game
it just disappeared for me
so my city doesnt have the 200+ bus routes anymore and thats a problem
That really sucks lol
plugin? I got it via update
its an update?
The new bus and train system is
Let's say you have 50 buses and 200 routes lol you gotta manually press a lot of depots
I don't see how you got 200 bus routes, that would mean maxing out 25 depots with the new system
what do you mean new system
it was 16 bus routes per depot and i built a lot of depots in the plugin thing
idk what happened, I just checked my app and it seems the system changed again since last time i used it
I don't have train routes anymore, I remember making train routes and assigning trains to them months ago
my bus system just got reverted to the old one
I haven't been reading the update logs so probs I missed something
the transportation update is now an actual update
the plugin does not contain a surprise any more
Bro I haven't gotten any updates
same
Ptag staged
A staged rollout means that only a certain percentage of users will get the update at a time. Meaning that the update will come over a matter of days to everyone, rather than all at once. We have no of choosing who get's the update when, it's totally random. So for now you just have to wait.
Maybe I don't want the update
I have just created my best city so far
And I don't want it ruined
So the train routes I was able to make before but now can't edit, was that a preview or experimental feature or smth?
what?
In a city I remember train stations having a ui when tapped and being able go buy trains and plan routes between stations for trains, I can't do that now but I distinctly remember having done that within the past year at some point in this same city
It's like I got early access to a feature/system which has since been reverted
or smth
read my first message
idk
update your game
when did this update happen
yeah i just looked
Broken plugins bruh
????
I have like 500 plugins
Just heard plugins are losing influence
not in 31
I have no update pending, probably later in the staged rollout line
i guess ill wait for the week or something
because idk the logs dont really say much
sep 12
On another topic, which vanilla trees would look best in an orchard?
see the full official changelog
Well 1.12.31 us here, I think they fixed,lemme try
What are those emojis
why are you asking me
"High temperature can eliminate viruses."
Better kill some than all
Shouldve done this during Covid
ok thanks for the insight yes but it still doesnt state that it added the new transport
only talks about fixes for it
and even if it was released prior this said its staged across days
and its been a solid month since september 12th
so im a bit confused here
I learnt from this
We successfully prevented town being destroyed from outbreak.
Rip
Hai
@misty sun please no political undertones
How to gain 10k peps on hard mode,? Under few hours without plug ins,
the pros and cons of having a city with tall buildings
the (Ill) disaster count as viruses or just common disease?
U should join beta
*except for some.. *
Uhhh
Whys the asterisk trick not working
And now it worked
how do i do this
Depends on what device
But it still has the same process
galaxy tab s10 ultra
I meant PC or Mobile
Go to play store and go to theotowns app
Scroll a bit and you should see join beta
Idk about the beta features yet
Oh okay
Btw is there any way to create big maps without crashing?
There is
hello guys what you can recommend version because in the latest update my city gets massacre
What?
version of theotown from latest update. the latest update get nerfed the plugins.
Yeah, there's a new rule for plugin balance, so majority of it are broken
Bro you got to rebuild or report some
That sucks bruv
Buildings will get repetitive
I like big influence services and other population happiness necessities not because it's convenient but it's uniformly spread out and not repetitive
the plugins in the store its like just only a decoration. and schools. like all of the above has been messed up because of the major update parks, schools, services
If u r a phonie you can join beta program in appstore
yes i have stated above that i already have done that
so im guessing the new transportation doesnt have to do with beta testing
Currently all new transport related features are only available in the beta releases.
but i have the beta testing
What update are you on?
uh
