Town Expansion

Post by Svartypops »

Funny... if you buy every square around a town, it can't expand.

With this knowledge you can have the town expand in the direction you choose (towards your stations).

I wonder if it stores the "expansion", and applies it all when it gets chance to expand or if it discards the opportunity?

*mumbles* bridges and tunnels anyone? xD

Edit:
Kidding aside, at some point the town will escape ... unless you buy all the land beyond the max lenght you have set for bridges and tunnels in your game.

If you prefer playing this way you may as well not allow towns and cities to build roads at all, and build roads yourself so that the town/city expands along those as your intention is according to your post?

To answer your question, no, towns don’t store the missed growth. If a growth attempt fails it gives up until the next attempt and doesn’t remember that.

You can use the Setting to stop towns from building roads, and then you can build your own roads thus guiding them to where you want.

There are much simpler ways to direct town growth :P

Town "stores" growth to a certain extent. It will try to build houses every day until it succeeds, so when you unblock it you'll quickly get one house but will have to wait full growth cycle for the ones after.
