Cities And Housing Archive

Ilike this idea a lot, and would be impressed if it was implemented, One of the tools should give you the ability to "surface" the cities ground. So you could have metalic or cobblestone ground to walk on when you are in a city.

Would allow you to judge the cities perimiter very very easily, it would of course grow and shrink with the city size.

This would be so cool!

this isn't a bad idea.

i'm with some of the other posters, though, in insisting that we also need things like roads, walls, terrain levelling tools, and so on.

i'm willing to yield on the issue of player city starports, though that would be darn cool.

This is a great idea. Please please please take note of this person

if there was a wish list thread, i would put this there.....

Couldn't have put it better myself, good show

One possibility is for the mayor (or militia member) to give the toon placing the house a "building permit" for a specific planned lot in the city, with constraints on house type (or at least pad dimensions) and orientation. To do this effectively, there would need to be an in-game zoning map accessible through the city terminal that takes into account terrain, existing structures, and outstanding building permits. The city planning tool is a good start, but much more work would be needed to incorporate terrain, structures, and permits. Terrain informationmay in principle be accessible client-side, but other information would need to be downloaded.

/bump and some possible input

How about the Mayor sets up lots from which a player can choose to build on. Example would be setting a road down ... then setting up lots for Small Tatooine Houses facing the street. The player moving into the city could then choose to occupy this lot by placing his Small Tattooine House in the predestined place.

This could be done in great detail as you could have the shuttleport set up and allow for merchants to drop thier tents only in certain areas, so as to make a "mall". Could be set up to allow an industrial part of the city with all the factories running.

Another piece of input I think was mentioned but not sure... Walls.
