[vagrant relic]

In game, I mean

[river badger]

Trees

Or just remove what causing the radiation

[vagrant relic]

Because I tried out mr pickle in a indestructible wall but his minions escaped so I dropped an Icbm or something bomb on it, but some survived, so I used nukes, but they did nothing so I used the virus that eats away blocks

[river badger]

(If its a nuclear scrap that is)

[river badger]

Just use buldoze tools >_>

[vagrant relic]

Too big

[sleek geyser]

It was a joke. I know you are talking about game...

[burnt shard]

So, uh

Anyone got the link for

I think Kami made it

That one plugin

Max park etc

So you could make more realistic cities

[smoky grotto]

What tf fo you mean, @burnt shard ?

[burnt shard]

I'm not sure how to explain

But like, there were invincible 1x1 buildings

That gave (example:fire coverage) for the whole map

So you wouldn't have to build stations every 30 suares

Squares*

I just need the name

[humble shuttle]

It is on the forum by kamikaze

[burnt shard]

Could you send me the link?

[smoky grotto]

If you're building fire stations every 30 squares then you're doing something wrong.

[humble shuttle]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=7591

[burnt shard]

It's not exactly 30 squares, I don't remember how much radius fire stations have

[burnt shard]

Thank you.

[humble shuttle]

No problem

[smoky grotto]

They're not all the same and you can increase the radius of them.

[burnt shard]

I know

But like

Sometimes you want a

Maybe uh

A small town

[smoky grotto]

Are fire stations really that weak?

[burnt shard]

That normally wouldn't have a fire station

Or it would

But a small one

But the town is quite big

So I'd have to put multiple stations

Fire can be fixed by Uber mode

But the other ones

Like garbage, cemeteries etc

[smoky grotto]

Wait, you are getting lost. Text one big message making sense instead of multiple confusing messages

[burnt shard]

Sorry if I'm not making any sense

Aight

So, you're building a village. That village is small. You build it and oh no! You need cemeteries and garbage collectors, but that wouldn't fit it.

That's why I needed that plugin

It's just really helpful

[smoky grotto]

You dont need garbage collection or cemeteries in every village. Just place those stuff in the bigger urban area and keep the village minimalistic or without services if its that small

[burnt shard]

I don't know how to explain this problem properly

[smoky grotto]

I get what you're saying, im just saying theres no real need for it

[burnt shard]

diamons works per city or account?

[spice dagger]

per account

[burnt shard]

So if I buy something with the diamonds, it stays unlocked in the account or in the region

[spice dagger]

diamonds are linked to your google games account

they should™️

[burnt shard]

alr thx

[spice dagger]

you're welcome

[wanton sigil]

How do i lower the taxes

[smoky grotto]

Click on road

[clear sigil]

Use these button to make bridges

[vagrant relic]

I did

But like

It kept replacing the tall roads

And I cant tap small roads

[clear sigil]

Wdym?

[elder cairn]

Click on the happiness icon first

[severe pine]

or on money icon

[wanton sigil]

This is my town and all these unhappy people are for taxes

[humble shuttle]

instead lowering taxes give them influences like education, park and such

[wanton sigil]

I have given them everything

[stray stream]

why sometimes when i play the region resets

[smoky grotto]

Wha... what do you mean the region resets?

[sleek geyser]

Do not forget to save your game, one of ways is the globe button. (at least when online)

[carmine delta]

Can I request plugin intermediate or I need novice first or something else

I have some plugin, downloads (not that much though) and Lua experience maybe I'll try getting that 🤔

[mild jacinth]

do as asked in #information

[carmine delta]

Well I've seen that but I am asking just in case... Idk

[vagrant relic]

Guys if I buy a diamond costing build, do I get to keep it or do I have to keep buying it with diamonds?

[humble shuttle]

You will have to buy it again

One time use

[vagrant relic]

Sheeesh okay

What if I buy it at features?

[mild jacinth]

You mean things like the firehouse?

[vagrant relic]

Yesh

[mild jacinth]

Yeah those you keep forever

and you just have to pay with coins for each build

[vagrant relic]

Yey alright, which should I get

[mild jacinth]

What are your options?

[vagrant relic]

I can buy big electro towers, shy electro, big water, and letters

[mild jacinth]

I'd get the bigger water pump

[vagrant relic]

Water okay

Bigger water pump?

I mean water founfain

[mild jacinth]

ooh!

That one has a pretty good park influence

[vagrant relic]

I buy water then

[noble spear]

How can I make a multiplayer lobby?

[clear sigil]

Pfaq Online Mode

[mild stump]

Online Mode

Since version 1.8.45, there's an online mode in TheoTown. You can access it by tapping a button 'Online Regions'. There you can play on free regions, or access the locked ones with a password. Also, you can upload your own region, by tapping a '≡' button in main menu. But remember, it will cost some diamonds or region coins.

[wanton sigil]

So i went to the moon

And the guy didnt gave me 10 mil

[tacit relic]

Is it your internet problem?

[wanton sigil]

Also my phone died and i lost the moon how can i go back there

[tacit relic]

Go to single city

Globe>single city

[tacit relic]

I rarely go to the moon

[wanton sigil]

Thanks

But it didnt gave 10 mil

The ceo of dsa

To me

What do i do

[wanton sigil]

??

[wanton sigil]

Btw thanks

But i cant find it on single cities

@tacit relic

Also in the last mission for the moon with the rocket what will happen

[indigo kite]

Not yet, because l can download from other website

[tacit relic]

Idk, i don't really focusing on the DSA stuff

[tacit relic]

But is showing all my moon stuff in single city

[wanton sigil]

Ok

[rocky zephyr]

Why it's not working? On my other city its working

Or is it because the electricity is from other city?

[smoky grotto]

You have to import it.

Connect the energy to another plot and them import/export energy

[rocky zephyr]

I kinda don't know what you mean

[smoky grotto]

Noob

[lost compass]

Is my layout any good? Btw the factories are more of the same just up the road (i couldn’t zoom it out enough) please help me improve it

[smoky grotto]

Aaah... nooo... kinda...

I mean, its a start

[lost compass]

That’s good

How can I improve it

[smoky grotto]

I would say this are good layouts

Everything well connected, distributed and organises

[lost compass]

Could you explain how I could do that

[smoky grotto]

Grid

[lost compass]

This is one I made previously on a smaller map, is this better?

Also, should I use a tollbooth

And should I go for a few blocks at a time and save up money or try to go full out and plan everything and just let it build up and place things when I need it

And do you have any notes about dense and not dense plans?

Also, should I use farms

And what do they do

(And harbours)

[river badger]

Theyre industrial T

[lost compass]

Ok

No one answer my questions ):

[manic stag]

@lost compass what is it exactly what you want to know

chippers answered the farms and harbour question right?

[lost compass]

Yes

There is a paragraph of questions above his answer

[manic stag]

lets see

tollbooth is really whatever you desire

personally, i would go for a few blocks at a time, play to the demands at the time and see how they evolve

[lost compass]

Also, I love your pfp

[manic stag]

but its good to have a general plan in mind of what areas you are going to put where on the map

[lost compass]

Ok

[manic stag]

why thank you! sloth gandalf never fails to disappoint xD

and personally i try to change between dense and regular zones to create some variety, but its really about what you are foccussing on in your city

if you just want it to grow as quickly and fast as possibly, dense can help

[lost compass]

Ok

[manic stag]

if you also want some nice astetics, id mix them both

and also if you have any other questions which people won't answer, always feel free to dm or ping me!

[lost compass]

Oh yeah, one last question

What roads should I use, one way, motorway, should I use double one way or maybe a circle thing made of one ways

[manic stag]

the one way roads are ideal if you want perfect control of traffic flow within your city, since you can decide where they can and can't go

[lost compass]

How should I do that, I don’t know how they work

The people move weirdly

[manic stag]

but don't only use them, having motor ways are good for a general accessibility for all areas

[lost compass]

And should I have the roads connect to roads to the side of them?

[manic stag]

the one ways, the cars will only follow the arrows, and can't go against them

[lost compass]

I meant I don’t know where cars should go

[manic stag]

if you want to connect roads, connect them to the side yes

well, its mostly a logical thinking

cars from residential will want to go towards commercial for shopping

and towards industrial for working sometimes

cars from industrial mainly travel to commercial to resupply the stores

so make sure to connect the most important routes with more/larger roads

and the smaller areas with one way roads to control them better

[lost compass]

Also, how should I order the different areas, should it be random or what

[manic stag]

you need to follow the demands

look which area is in demand, and build it

[lost compass]

I meant that should it be checkered?

[manic stag]

the green blue and yellow graph you see

ah like that

[lost compass]

And how should I put my factories

[manic stag]

i never build squares to be honest, i build random shapes

[lost compass]

Cause they have smoke

[smoky grotto]

I follow the terrain

[river badger]

If there only 1 industrial for many commercial, will that industrial spawn more cars?
And if theres many industrial for a city will the industrial spawn less cars?

[lost compass]

My terrain is flat with no water

[manic stag]

yes, so dont build residential right next to industral

build commercial in between them

[lost compass]

Also, do I have to build schools next to commercial and industrial?

[manic stag]

gotta run help out my neighbour with something, ill answer other questions when i get back

[lost compass]

Ok

[lost compass]

And parks and health and stuff like that

[river badger]

Welp, ill find it out my self

[lost compass]

Did you find out?

[smoky grotto]

I know the answer and the answer is no

[lost compass]

Ok

But I still need police and fire?

[smoky grotto]

Yes

[lost compass]

Ok

[smoky grotto]

Police, fire, health and transport

[lost compass]

Ok

[river badger]

?

[lost compass]

Good start?

[smoky grotto]

Residencial areas need
Police, fire, health, transport, education, parks and religion

[smoky grotto]

Yeah, kinda

Actually, yeah. It is a good start

[lost compass]

What can I do from here to not mess up

[smoky grotto]

Click on buildings and see what they want the most.

[lost compass]

Ok

Why is my transport below 50% and how do I make that road less crowded because I have the highest level of road I have so far there

[smoky grotto]

Transport is public transport

[lost compass]

Oh

Also, how do I make the road less crowded when I’ve used the best road already

Help

I’ve done something wrong

[smoky grotto]

Are you using traffic light?

[lost compass]

Idk

I reset to try again and it’s not as bad

[wanton sigil]

[thorny jungle]

Someone can send me the TheoTown66.lby file?

[thorny jungle]

I alredy fixed it

I reset the PC

[strong raptor]

How do I change the seed of a region?

i am play in android

[smoky grotto]

You cant change the sees. What you can do is make a region with a certain seed.

[strong raptor]

How do I create a region?

I already tried with the console and it does not come out
try to move the files and nothing

[mild jacinth]

Use the region maker

You can create a region just in game by tapping 'New Region' button in Main menu

[indigo kite]

I still got banned when playing offline too 🤦

[red pollen]

Is there a way to build tunnels without spending diamonds?

Or build the road authority building

aka tunnel management building

[tacit relic]

Still waiting for my theotown to get a update (i hate google)

[grim kindle]

What means deathcare?

[tacit relic]

Build cemetaries

[arctic iron]

I remember that you used to be able to change the emergency services textures. To make them look more European or just a different livery like Battenburg markings for example.

Can't find how to do it now (I just came back to the game)

Is this still possible and if so, how?

(Sorry if wrong channel)

[spice dagger]

emergency services don't have any special textures

[arctic iron]

Bother

They used to tho, im pretty sure

Thanks anyway

[spice dagger]

you're welcome

there were never liveries, styles or stuff like that

if you're speaking about vehicles different buildings spawn different cars

[lost dagger]

Hi everyone! I'm stuck at 16000 population. Is it a bug or i need to build something?

suddenly my city ran out of electricity. I have enough plants and have also placed some. nothing has happened, nothing has improved. my city is literally dead.

For no reason.

i checked everything, there is enough power for everything, but everything is simply buggy.

also the power lines checked, everything okay

Uhm yeah.

My city is dead rn

Nothing helped.

Nice.

[vagrant relic]

Do you use DSA??

[west palm]

Uhm

Yah

@vagrant relic

Why

btw i had enough electricity for that too

[vagrant relic]

Cuz last time I had negative energy, the water pollutant caused it

[wanton sigil]

Is there a way to get more supplies for my Rocket

[vagrant relic]

More infustrial plots

[wanton sigil]

I have a lot but it is not going fast up

These are all

Themax's tram depots aren't spawning trams

[carmine delta]

do you have a destination or something?

I mean not you

trams

[unique quartz]

Idk trams should go to another depot which I have placed on another side of the map

[wanton sigil]

Wait @carmine delta and @smoky grotto are different person

[tacit relic]

Place a arrival platform then put another one somewhere else, it should spawn

[tacit relic]

Yes, they both different people

[wanton sigil]

They have almost the same name and i thought that day to day they change their pfp pics

[unique quartz]

Thanks but now trams are coming up to the nearest station to depot and disappearing.They are not going to the next station

[smoky grotto]

No, they go to arrival platforms

[smoky grotto]

Tip: place the arrival station in the other end o the line so that they go from the depot to the arrival platform on the other end of the line.

You could also just place arrival platforms in every station.

[subtle lintel]

howwwwwwww

how do i connect ut

oh i just realised

[coarse patio]

God knows

Actually nvm idk if even he knows

[floral temple]

hey guys how do i create an account in the game ?

[gusty kettle]

You have to make account at TheoTown forums (https://forum.theotown.com/portal) and then log in to your account in in-game.

[smoky grotto]

Then i'm good

[smoky grotto]

Have an underground wire or a high voltage eletric wire connected to the other city and ensure it gets eletricity

After connecting eletric lines, you're able to import/export energy

[lavish shell]

You can switch the cords and clock to the other side of the screen btw

It's in the settings

(if they are up to date)

[inland elk]

does anyone know how to solve the problem of the place of downloading plugins not loading?

[severe pine]

You've reloaded your game after downloading?

[inland elk]

not

[vale slate]

does anyone know why i cant see labels

my labels

[gusty kettle]

Zoom out.

That might be because you are too close to city. Or, you forgot to place it.

[grave prawn]

If you do not reload the game, plugins cannot work

[scarlet crystal]

please help me to fix this ? :((

[tacit relic]

[carmine delta]

what is that supposed to do

?

[scarlet crystal]

that code to add waterfall and night lights to the park

[carmine delta]

can't you use animations for that?

I guess your waterfall had overflown and flooded the city

[scarlet crystal]

i will try it. Because i have hundreds of street light, so use lua can be much faster

[severe pine]

you should get drafts in script:init, otherwise it might get ran before the draft is loaded

also this function should error

as drawimage requires 3 arguments

you should remove your setTile calls other than the 1st one

and instead set the offset in drawImage

as for the glitch,

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scarlet crystal]

thank you very much 😄

[vale slate]

No I've done every thing still cant see it

[fleet shuttle]

How do those drills work?

[carmine delta]

No real point of building them in sandbox

[humble shuttle]

True

Just gotta make your city wipe out

[vale slate]

@fleet shuttle what is that

[meager plover]

So when i rotate the map or the pov, the buildings also rotate for some reason. Is it bc of the plugins or what, i have unactived them all

[tacit relic]

Not all building have rotate thing

Only a few building have rotation

[meager plover]

Well in my case all buildings rotate to where i rotate, so its fixed on where its facing when i built it

[meager plover]

Actually

I just noticed, only some do yeah

Thats kind of annoying

[mild jacinth]

well unless you want all buildings to take 2x the space and by that logic the gaming taking up twice as much space (which means less room for plugins) then I wouldn't complain that much @meager plover

[meager plover]

Well i dont have many plugins but its fair ig

[zealous flicker]

welp, im stuck with "GDZigZagLag2020" then

[gusty kettle]

Yes, you are.

[zealous flicker]

How can i transfer my plugins from one account to another then

[mild stump]

Files

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

▪︎ Windows: C:\Users\(insert username)\TheoTown
▪︎ Linux: /home/$USER/TheoTown
▪︎ MacOS: /user/TheoTown
▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
Reinstalling the game for Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

Alternatively, you can access the files through in-built TheoTown file manager, accessible through the in-game menu.

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

#15

[gusty kettle]

Oh wait

Nvm

You can transfer files from device to device but not from account to account.

As far as I know

[burnt shard]

I have a question. why if I have 99% satisfaction, vacancies, a lot of houses in which there are max people and yet few people decrease every two seconds. not even because something is built into it. why?

9654 people

[smoky grotto]

Demand comes and goes.

[spice dagger]

your people will build what they currently need

demand

[burnt shard]

demand is maximum and houses are full

and they build nothing

[smoky grotto]

Are there spaces to build?

[burnt shard]

no, but I don't know who is leaving the city since the houses are still full

[smoky grotto]

People are always leaving or dying. If there's no development, jobs and Infraestructure, people will leave.

@burnt shard

[burnt shard]

Hey guys. Why does my plug in floats and is in water

[humble shuttle]

Your bottom pixel should be the end line of your canvas

[burnt shard]

Okay thanks!

[indigo kite]

How about they make a 3D for this game, that would be more interesting

[gusty kettle]

If the game isn't interesting for you, then why are you even playing it?

[spice dagger]

that won't happen

[burnt shard]

the game is good as it is

[fast fractal]

hi

im new

[burnt shard]

hello

[restive vessel]

because it's free.

[humble shuttle]

Lol

[gusty kettle]

That's actually true.

[verbal thorn]

That would be extremely hard to do and would break all plugins.

[indigo kite]

Is there l have said isnt interesting there? Lol

[indigo kite]

yes just an opinion. lol
If that will make break all plug break, then dont do it. Lol
would be difficult and irritate the plugin makers. lol

[verbal thorn]

Either way, if the game didn't meet your expectations, you can always be on the lookout for other city builder games :)

[indigo kite]

Or they make a new game beta for this game, so like this
TheoTown 3D beta at playstore then not break all of old TheoTown game

[indigo kite]

just a suggestion from me.

[verbal thorn]

Ah, you can always use Psuggest in #bot-commands

[indigo kite]

why is everyone here sensitive when someone gives suggestions. Lol

[verbal thorn]

We've had people suggest 3d theotown multiple times, so we just kinda get more agitated the more people ask

[carmine delta]

@indigo kite 3d is very stupid suggestion

Not even expect

[verbal thorn]

Bruh simon why you so sensitive

[indigo kite]

why are people here so disrespectful and don't really respect other people's opinions

[carmine delta]

Ok dude but

You should understand that making the game 3D

Requires redoing the code

All resources

And ton of work

And breaks the style and concept

You can't just take and make the game 3D

[indigo kite]

even though there are many other words you can say and you also have to know there are many small children here and you must know the etiquette of public speaking

[carmine delta]

It's not a very good think to suggest, sorry dude

Ok. Your suggestion is very ungood and not smarty peeny

[verbal thorn]

Either way, this is the internet, what do you expect from people here

[carmine delta]

If you want 3D, you can play cities skylines or simcity but I don't think there are actually good 3D city builders on mobile

[verbal thorn]

Not everyone's gonna be respectful

[carmine delta]

I'm very respectful

I could just say one of the words in my nickname

[verbal thorn]

Anyways, yeah, 3d will most likely never happen

[carmine delta]

||(clearly he is an airport inspector)||

Yeah, it won't, sorry to you

[indigo kite]

Okay use polite words while you can, I respect everyone here, we also play other games besides this game, so try not to say words like that again

[severe pine]

sadly, making the game 3d is not possible

it would become an entirely new game if we did that

[indigo kite]

If someone asks the same thing, it doesn't mean he's been here for a long time, just say, sorry we can't it will damage some components in this game, thanks for the advice and time, that would be more polite

[humble shuttle]

Nice words bro

[burnt shard]

Reinstalled the game, can't login

[agile mango]

Also, new graphics engine, I don't think Stapel 2D will work

[severe pine]

not with that attitude

[agile mango]

Ah yes, 2D engine doing 3D

[severe pine]

just like doom

its "easy"

[agile mango]

Rip performance

[severe pine]

at that point youre essentially writing your own engine

but its possible

my brother has done it

[agile mango]

Also, I think 3D would be the only thing that may work, I don't even think shadows or anti aliasing can work

[severe pine]

for doing the donut spin

well he got wireframe

shading woulld be next

[agile mango]

Everything is fine until your engine starts failing

[severe pine]

with a lot of mathematics

war thunder

youd just have to do a crapton of maths

[agile mango]

I mean, yes, but like you said, is better to just write a new one

[severe pine]

https://youtu.be/DEqXNfs_HhY

its that easy

but yeah

[agile mango]

H

[severe pine]

well

you can cut out the engine parts

and basically just keep the game logic

but yeah

massive investment

[agile mango]

I don't think the game logic is a problem, but a thing I see, TT already runs bad in 2D... Imagine 3D

[severe pine]

yes

it would not work on mobile

[agile mango]

Lol mobile

[severe pine]

maybe for high end phones

[agile mango]

Rip battery

[severe pine]

but not mine

i dont need a hand heater

[agile mango]

I don't need a power bank

[severe pine]

big work would be modelling

assuming theyd use an existing engine

like unity

actually

unreal engine when

[agile mango]

There are already bad plugins in 2D, I don't want to imagine what will happen in 3D

[severe pine]

default cube

or monkey head

actually

can i upload my 1st donut as a plugin

fun fact

factorio's graphics are made by rendering a 3d object in low res

[agile mango]

Ah yes, default cube, and since I don't know how to use textures yet, h

[agile mango]

Nice

[severe pine]

thats how theyve been able to make high res sprites of everything

that means somewhere there is a collection of every factorio item in 3d

[agile mango]

...

TT in 2D with 3D

[severe pine]

i think they did it to make animating easy

[agile mango]

TT from 25Fps to crash

Also, java

[severe pine]

ye

[agile mango]

Wait

[severe pine]

just use c++

[agile mango]

Is only the game logic in java right?... Right?!

[severe pine]

no no

its all java

[agile mango]

...

[severe pine]

the graphics api is opengl

but the engine is in java

actually

i see now that some parts are c++

[agile mango]

A

[agile mango]

Actually I don't know what to say, I thought that the graphics engine was different

I need a moment

[severe pine]

note that this is just the amount of code

dunno about the functionality

could be tons of filler

[agile mango]

Why a combination of java, C++ and C?

That is the graphics engine GitHub right?

[severe pine]

yes

https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx

probably c++ and c for the high performance bits

still

[agile mango]

Ah now I kinda see why

[severe pine]

this library provides inputs and a render loop

the rest is up to you

its not like unity where you have a big toolkit

its all in code

[agile mango]

Well, at least it works

[severe pine]

these things take a lot of work

but yeah

its fully customizable to what you need

ive made uh

lemme grab the vid real quick

dang i deleted it

[carmine delta]

I'm learning c++ and raylib +want opengl and imagining me making city builder with scratch sounds scary

[severe pine]

let me find my project so i can grab a new one

[carmine delta]

respect

[severe pine]

good luck with that

[agile mango]

I thought it was outdated or something but no, I'm actually impressed

[carmine delta]

idk if is it a good idea but considering that I'm dumb it won't go well probably

[severe pine]

i had a program in monogame somewhere

[carmine delta]

what is monogame

[severe pine]

its basically the same thing but in c#

celeste is made in it

[agile mango]

I'm learning JS and web things, something that I still hate (I don't want to see PHP... Just no), but... I'm kinda starting to like JS

[severe pine]

lets see if my thing works

[vast hare]

What's wrong with PHP?

[severe pine]

nullreferenceexception

[agile mango]

Is hard to me to find documentation and the one that I found was hard to understand

[severe pine]

whyd i leave my project in a not working state

[vast hare]

nullpointerexception but corporate

[severe pine]

well it makes sense

since its a reference type

[agile mango]

PHP is powerful, but it will take me time

[severe pine]

if you talk about pointers poeple might get confused with unsafe code

where you can use pointers

[agile mango]

You see, JS have the MDN documentation

And is beautiful

The only thing I have from PHP is the "goto" thing

I will try it again later, but yeah... It will take some time

[severe pine]

yeah ive lost the video

and i dont feel like getting the project to work

[agile mango]

Lol rip

[severe pine]

but essentially

it was the tv screensaver meme

[agile mango]

Lol

I was learning C++ until I found JS and Microsoft C++ documentation

[severe pine]

c# is well documented at least

java is ok

[agile mango]

The documentation was great... I think? And JS because web

[severe pine]

so far i havent really ran into any issues

[agile mango]

🤔

[severe pine]

with lacking documentation

actually

only in javafx

[agile mango]

I always have that problem

[severe pine]

sounds like

skill issue

but yeah

just use blazor

now you can use c# in web

[agile mango]

Eventually there is something that may work, but then there is other way to do it

[vast hare]

Slight problem

#general

[agile mango]

ummm...

Ah

True

[severe pine]

what are you gonna do

call an admin?

but yes

[agile mango]

lul, go to #general

[elder cairn]

Does anyone know how to fix this

[fair portal]

i think use raise to adjust that concrete

[clear sigil]

Raise the terrain

[elder cairn]

cant

[fair portal]

why tho

[elder cairn]

Idk

[spice dagger]

remove pipes, tunnels and underground wires

from the area

[fair portal]

or remove the airport hall

[elder cairn]

I'll try

Still cant,

Oh nvm it was the tunnel there

[winged stratus]

I just wonder what is this car formation. Is it a feature. A mayor motorcade?

[vast hare]

DSA CEO motorcade

[winged stratus]

Oh I see. It just weird because they’re the only one driving to nowhere.

[humble shuttle]

they have no job

[abstract sonnet]

is that a plugin? the airport terminals and stuff

[tacit relic]

Yes is a plugin, just search "Airport" in the plugin store (Note : some of the airport plugin cost diamond so you cant really get them for free by watching a ad)

[abstract sonnet]

oh

ok

are they downloadable plugins?

im on pc rn

[tacit relic]

You never downloaded a plugin before?

[abstract sonnet]

i have- just wondering cos you said stuff about diamonds

and i was confusion

[tacit relic]

Some plugin don't have the "ad option" to download so to get them, you need to pay some diamond to get it

[abstract sonnet]

i see

[tacit relic]

The airport plugin cost like 125+ diamond (i forgot but is quite expensive)

[abstract sonnet]

ok

thx

[past jasper]

Its free on pc

[abstract sonnet]

where is the "disable zone" setting?

nvm i figured it out

[tacit relic]

Wdym?

[past jasper]

He says he has the pc version.

[tacit relic]

I think you still have to pay diamond to download plugin in pc? Idk i'm havent try out the PC version

[spice dagger]

diamonds don't exist on premium versions obviously

[tacit relic]

Ok thx for telling me

[crude verge]

Dumb question but how do you upload screenshots of my city from the game to the place i want to upload it to on PC?

[past jasper]

You can find your screenshots on pc version at

Your disk drive/(your pc username)/Theotown/
(This quick quide is for Windows only)

[burnt shard]

Guys the demand is high for residential and industrial for the richest and I have both of those things available, so why is it still high?

[ocean heath]

I’m thinking about buying the steam version, are there map boundaries like the mobile version or no? (Ping me if you reply please)

[clear sigil]

I don't know what do you mean with map boundaries, but the PC version doesn't have any IAPs

[solid ridge]

Hello! I just decided to build an elevated urban railway in my city, but it seems like it can't go up or down, which is a problem since the map has some hills. Is there any wqy to make them go up and down just like regular roads or rails?

[humble shuttle]

I am sorry but nope 😔

[solid ridge]

Aww, thanks. Well then gonna try something else

[ocean heath]

Like in the mobile version, you can only build until a certain area where the seed is split into 4 parts.

[clear sigil]

You mean regions? @ocean heath

You know you can click the plot and divide them when creating one

[ocean heath]

Yeah

[elder cairn]

Does anyone know how to get the 'collosal' 'giant' or 'Even bigger' region size? I use galaxy a50

[clear sigil]

The even bigger region size is only in PC

[elder cairn]

[smoky grotto]

Turn on experimental features

[clear sigil]

He mean regions

Not aingle city maps

[smoky grotto]

Hmmmmmm...

[burnt shard]

Guys I uploaded my city so my friend could build there, and I thought that I could keep building where I was and see him. But apparently I need to play in the uploaded city, and now the city I was building in is way more advanced than the one that is uploaded, any way to replace the old city with my advanced one?

[clear sigil]

In online mode?

You can't

[burnt shard]

Bruh

Ima have to spend 10 hours building it again

[thorny flower]

Just copy the region with the city and add it to the region file order of Theotown with a different name. From there you will see that it will be locked. Then simply upload without unlocking the city.

[burnt shard]

Hmmm I think I get it

[burnt shard]

I dont get it, can u do me a tutorial plz?

[thorny flower]

Ok

Are you on pc or on phone?

[burnt shard]

Phone

[thorny flower]

Is your city just a giant region made of one map?

In case it is a region just export the city in a folder of your phone (any folder just not the Theotown). As next you will have to change the name (for example by just adding a 2 behind the name). And the last step is to import it back into the Theotown folder of regions.

[burnt shard]

My city is this

[thorny flower]

Do you want to upload only this city?

[burnt shard]

Yeah, so my friends still have their things and I have my city

[thorny flower]

Are you going to upload this region with all the cities?

[burnt shard]

Hmmm I don't get it. What I want is to upload that city in the region I uploaded

[thorny flower]

You cannot add a city into a region that is already uploaded.

[burnt shard]

F, then I have to rebuild it there

[thorny flower]

I am sorry

F

[burnt shard]

Np

[burnt shard]

Everyone in my city is rioting about the health even tho I have 2 hospitals with space for ppl

Why?

Already lost 100k habitants

[spice dagger]

[burnt shard]

Oh bruh, they didn't warn me the cemetery was full

Cemetery kinda sucks, always getting full

[spice dagger]

consider using crematories then

they are far better than cemeteries

[burnt shard]

I tried but they keep asking me for a place to burrie the deads

[brave grotto]

[past jasper]

It's a bug i think

Try restart Theotown

[burnt shard]

Between these regions, which one is the biggest?

[clear sigil]

The gigant one is the biggest

[burnt shard]

Thx. Is there any way to create a region as big as that? Without being a isolated one

[clear sigil]

You can, just click the create region button

[burnt shard]

Alr

And what is this task thing in the experimental resources?

[atomic laurel]

Hey guys

You can backup do a backup of your plugins first before uninstalling

Your store plugins are located in managed plugins

Hello, I lost my single city 😭 anyone knows what I can do?

[rich stone]

I lost my city. how can I find

[glacial kite]

Theotown camera stuck

[tacit relic]

Region city or single city?

[rich stone]

Single

[tacit relic]

Did you delete it?

[severe pine]

Did you lose it after updating?

[unkempt tendon]

whats the rmd department

[rich stone]

i deleted the game from my phone then i download it

@tacit relic

[severe pine]

From update 1995 onward deleting the game will delete Save data as well

That is because of Android's storage policy changes

[dim pike]

I accidentally deleted a single city is there anything I can do to get it back?

[outer thunder]

So what exactly is administration good gor?

[mild jacinth]

At this time no

[outer thunder]

Ok thx

[civic karma]

Hello

Where could I find the game files in the internal storage?

[vast hare]

Jtag files

[versed timber]

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

▪︎ Windows: C:\Users\(insert username)\TheoTown
▪︎ Linux: /home/$USER/TheoTown
▪︎ MacOS: /user/TheoTown
▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
Reinstalling the game for Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

Alternatively, you can access the files through in-built TheoTown file manager, accessible through the in-game menu.

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

[civic karma]

Thanks Mr. Pidroid.

[burnt shard]

I just joined game after not playing for 2 days and I have 600k diamonds

What happened?

And a a warning saying this version has been hacked shows up

[humble shuttle]

you installed a cracked version?

[burnt shard]

No, I installed from playstore like 10 days ago

I bought the game for pc like 3 days ago and logged in my account, maybe it was that?

[humble shuttle]

nope

it doesnt do that

[burnt shard]

But I did nothing tho

It must have been a bug

I Uninstalled and I'm installing again

Will I loose my stuff?

I dont know

your plugins will go

Everything is normal now

Except the plug-ins yeah

Guys
How can I fix if my game don't save my cities when I leave the game?

And the region, if made by me disappeares 2

[clear sigil]

do you exit the city properly? like clicking the region button when before exisitng the city?

[hollow acorn]

yes, i can stream it for you

[agile mango]

TheoTown have storage permissions in your device?

Is maybe Android 11 and permission reset

[hollow acorn]

I'm on pc

[agile mango]

Emmm... then at least I don't have idea what is wrong, you can report that in #bugs-n-crashes

[hollow acorn]

already did, no respond

[brave grotto]

How? In such a small occupied place, such a population? Its a bug plugin?

I'm pretty sure that region is big enough for that population

Or he just used a residential plugin that has capacity for more than 1000 residents

[brave grotto]

Bro.

My city.

[hollow acorn]

Did u try open it? Chould have some plugin u haven't installed

[restive vessel]

@vast hare can you make the pidroid send dm about plugin manifest only for those who upload the plugin to the plugin showcase? i think we don't need plugin manifest if upload to the plugin store.

[vast hare]

The idea of the feature is to encourage the use of plugin.manifest files for non-plugin store plugins

[brave grotto]

All downloaded except not available

[brazen elm]

Asking for my friend

Are there any reasons why plugin store is difficult to access by user?

[gloomy wigeon]

Lag probably

[agile mango]

Emmm... My main guesses are server issues (Like bandwidth or server overload) or server location, and also maybe because the game doesn't seems to try to reach the server again if it fails

[brazen elm]

Hmm, are there any reasons?

[agile mango]

At least I dont know, I dont think there is enough information about the game servers

Who knows? Maybe is just a bunch of Raspberry PIs like Pidroid, idk

[brazen elm]

I think it's a DSA sabotage

Im just imagining a bunch of Raspberry Pis working 24/7 at 100% CPU xd
