Yes but you are limited to the number of structures you can have altogether depending on your level and also what structures you can place.

I don't believe garages are limited except by proximity to each other. However, since cloners affect people's respawns and waypoints, I believe you can only have one per city (otherwise it might confuse the respawn code,in the same wayhaving 2 shuttleports would).

Good point, except some of the none player cities have shuttle port A/ shuttle port B so there is a possibility that it has been designed the same for player cities.

Duo shuttles are allowed at the NPC cities becuase those shuttleports are hard-coded into the game, along with the starports. They don't change, aren't subject to being redeeded, and aren't owned by players, so the game never needs to change their location or respawn points. So, NPC cities get to have 2 or more per city.

Player cities, on the other hand, are after-thoughts to the base game engine, sorta like an overlay on top of the terrain and NPC cities. It's one of the reasons why, when you approach an NPC city the entire thing spawns at once, but when you approach a player city, it spawns a building-at-a-time like always. It's becuase Player Cities aren't hard-coded into the game like NPC cities, and thus NPC cities have advantages that Player Cities will never have (Starports, multiple shuttles, etc).

I am not a mayor, but my PA has a Mayor bot, and the leadership group has access to him and move things. Several months ago we did a major redesign of our shuttle area, and main square. it was getting too filled up with merchent tents. Well we made the square around the shuttle 4x bigger and made the"downtown" much more organized.

There were 3 of us that were very involved in the design and getting the houses moved that we needed to move.

The city, MASC city on Naboo in Bloodfin galaxy is really a great city at this point, but at the time the constraints we had in the mayoral process was just mind boggling. I mean well ended up eventually moving about 30 structures, and everything went pretty well. We now have a comprehensive zoning plan and there should never be another re-design unless we get more than 4-500 residents. and if that happens they are prettymuch just ouside the city limits, so we dont care.

Why I am posting here is that multiple shuttles were seriously concidered. The reason that we could not do this from what I recall is that Naboo was capped. Now Naboo will likely always be capped, but if It were ever not capped I am pretty sure a 2nd shuttle is a possibility. We did not bother trying to place a 2nd as we just counted shuttles, but maybe we will experiment with it at a future date.

Also, MASC has a cloner right downtown with its cantina med center and all that jazz. but what would be very usefull would be a 2nd cloner at cities edge so a base can be placed right next to it. Zerging from a central cloner past all the buildings down roads to a base is really annoying and well multiple cloners seem like a good thing for most cities to have.

I read this thread, and it doesnt seem as though anyone can confirm that 2ndairy cloners are allowed or not, but if they are We will be setting one up as soon as I can get to it.

We at one point concidered placing a 2nd city hall due south of our current one at the closest possible location and use this as a way to get 2 of everything. and we would have placed our bases in the middle.

I really just want these city re-dos they are talking about to happen. MASC city has been a class 5 since week 5 after citys launch. we have well over 100 citizens, and another 50-100 living in the "suburbs" around the city.

Its a dam shame that the devs have not done more with this intregal part of the game. I mean it is the key social factor in SWG.

but oh well

I do know that 2 shuttles is not possible. Someone else confirms that garages ARE possible, so the only question is cloners.

If no one else is able to, I'll attempt to place another cloner this Sunday evening and see what it says. I'm very doubtful it will work, but we'll see.
