![]() ![]() Roads which are close but disjointed to the town centre will have no buildings being constructed alongside of it.ĭelivering the cargo " Goods" does not have any extra effect on town growth in any climate than any other type of cargo. ![]() ![]() Also, the progress of the town building construction depends on the travel distance (not vector distance) along the road to the town centre (where the town name displays). Roads should be evenly constructed around the town rim rather than extending to few particular sides. If the town has plenty of empty roads to build on, this is unlikely to have an effect until most roads have buildings constructed alongside them. Players can try and ensure towns are not hemmed in by train tracks, airports, water etc.Įxtending roads for a town may slightly increase the chance of new buildings being constructed successfully, and it is better than towns without pre-built road networks. This may result in rapid population growth for a short time, or increase acceptance of cargos such as Goods. If you are transporting passengers, be sure the population is more than 500.Ī bus with one passenger from the other side of town would have the same effect on growth as a large train full of passengers from the other end of the map.Ī town with a feeder station where cargo is picked up but not set down will also grow.Ī player can choose "Fund New Buildings" from the Local Authority window. The bigger the buildings, the bigger the passenger rate. Alternatively, creating a bus route within a larger town can produce an even higher rate of growth. It is sensible to connect not-too-distant small towns together with bus services to bulk-up their population before a train station or airport becomes viable. In the Temperate climate, a simple bus service can drastically increase the population of a town. If the centre square is not in the desert, food and water are not required for growth, although Water Towers may still exist in the town and food/water will be accepted. The amount of food and water delivered has no effect on the rate of town growth. Water Towers may be generated automatically in towns, or a player may choose to fund one using the "Fund new industry" menu. Water must be delivered to a Water Tower industry. Roads can't be built over diagonal train tracks or tracks with signals on, so be careful not to hem your towns in completely when building your transport empire. Towns will expand physically by extending roads onto empty areas of the map, then constructing new buildings next to the new roads. It does not matter which cargos are loaded/unloaded. Town growth can be accelerated by loading or unloading at least one item of cargo at up to five stations within town influence within a 50 day period. Over time, towns will grow very slowly even if no service is provided however players can influence town growth in several ways. Sometimes new buildings will increase the number and amount of cargos accepted in a town (such as Goods). The town constructs new buildings on empty tiles next to town roads. ![]() You might notice the town population temporarily dips while the new building is constructed. The population of towns can increase, providing more passengers/mail to transport.Įxisting buildings are demolished by the town and replaced by larger buildings. The Water Tower found in desert towns in the Sub-Tropical climate. The Bank can be found in towns with populations of over 1200 (Temperate climate), Banks can be found in any town in Sub-Arctic. Town population is calculated based on the number of buildings and how many inhabitants each building contains. Use the Land area information tool to find out about the cargo acceptance of individual buildings. For a station to accept these cargos, the buildings in the station's coverage area must accept a total of at least 8/8 of the cargo. In some cases buildings may also accept other cargos such as Goods or Food. During an economic recession, there's only half of the usual amount. Most buildings in the towns provide a source of Passengers and Mail which can be transported to other towns or within the same town. ![]()
