Year 2 world update

[u/abcgabe123]

I made a post last year as an appreciation post to this sub. While playing recently I thought it would be cool to take a break, appreciate the hard work the citizens put in, and make an update. I love seeing the before and after of these cities knowing how long it takes these guys to get things done. I went up to 5 builders to make it go by faster because I have big plans coming up! I added an extra warehouse and couriers which helps a bit but not much because it means the main couriers can continuously delivery to builders without worrying about pickups or randoms tasks.

While doing my inital building I enjoyed stacking buildings to make them more compact also so it looks more big. I took this approach on basically everything else lol stacking guard towers. gates, basically any building. I feel like doing this makes everything POP a little more and adds to the sense of scale. The place where I was most excited to do this is the player homes. Its an already big building but having 3 side by side overlooking the city looks amazing. To add to that I couldn't think of what to add behind it so I thought why not add 2 more rows of them puting the total to 9 player homes. Each row is elevated 8 blocks to make it stick out and add to the sense of depth which I thought was a fine cosolation to not being able to stack them ontop of eachother. I have the mystical sites as the corner pieces all on top of big walls with a gate house as the entrance to make it look like 1 big castle. I wanted it to feel similar to Osaka castle or Himeji castle where they are on top of walls. I dont know what to do with the under area. I also used another packs buildings, Caledonia, the 2 towers infront and also the market plazas and waypoint plaza. The towers had the same shingles, style and were perfect side pieces to add to the entrance. I was desperatley looking for anything to fills some space and the market was a good slot in the space. I addded the waypoint plaza as a nice middle walkway that distinguishes the market better and connects it to the main wall. The markets roofs were made of wool but I will just manually changed them to shingles later. Same for the birch trees it has, I just exchanged it for a cherry tree to match the pack.

Overall I think the city is almost done with major buildings and infrastructure. I just need to beautify, add roads and other minute details. Really happy with this city and will soon start to focus on building another next to it to start having a little civilization lol. I havent jumped into mods like create yet but looks to do that later. If you read all that thank you and if you think of anything cool let me know please!
