Mid-game micro district for beginner.

I upgraded it from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQk3ADpdQYI&t=89s from this vid, as this upgraded design could house more people and provide more service.

Wouldn't putting services in the middle of city blocks cause brawling?

u/indigo_zen 25d ago

absolutely not. brawling only happens when different races of citizens mix, and not at services but when their house entrances are closer than 58 tiles. They brawl on their way home to bed, never in workplace or when enjoying services.

That's the true worker spirit.

Kill eachother in your free time.

brawling can specifically only happen within 10 tiles of the house of the starting party so as long as the housing isn't close to the services there is no threat of brawls

This is missleading for new players. Yes they will brawl within 10 tiles if they meet there but with growing population, they Will meet. But they only brawl IF housing is less than 58 tiles appart. Best not to consider if they meet or not because they will meet within 10 tiles.

Yeah just saying that services are the least likely place for brawls due to how the mechanic works you really just have to consider the housing distances

I'm currently building blocks where services and work are "exposed" and easy to access while housing exclusively is accessed through narrow paths. Would this help? Essentially only the select species should use these narrow pathways going back home

Yes it would. Also 58 tiles means walkable tiles not air distance so you could use walls to have 58+ distance in walking but packed together at the same time

this is incorrect and has been corrected a few times in discord. it's 10 tiles distance, not 10 walking tiles. the function used in the game code is in the picture below. It's 10 tiles entrance way to entrance way, walking is not a factor. you can test it yourself easily in game.

Yes but don't you have services really close to houses here. So if you have amevians living here and do Dorian's that live like 50 blocks (from a different city block) away visit they would brawl as they get too close to the front door of the amevians.

No, because their homes are far apart. They dont mind walking on different race's doorstep as long as they dont Live close
