                                my tips on making a city

this is a topic on tips i will give you on making your blockland city. i am curntly making my own city but its WIP and hardly isnt finished yet

first tip
name your city. none wants to be seeing a city with no name!

second tip
ALLWAYS use custom roads. Custom roads are even better than normal roads and normal roads are giant pile of stuff, with custom roads you get a better path and cars can drive better on custom roads. here are some pics i took:





best thing is you can have a sewer but i didnt really put a really good one i just put the top of it there. if you want to go advanced and make a good sewer under your city you can and that makes the city even better!



second tip

making buildings easier. instead of having all the roads and then making all of your houses,buissneses,etc just do this:

first make a building,house or what ever. i made a duck factory with the rubber duck bricks from pual guy



 save it and then go on to the next building you are going to make. you dont have to do this but its more easy than just taking hours to build a city. then adding all those buildings is easy! just load them and place them were you want and then build roads next to them.

Note: you will need the duplicator for this, you load your save and use the duplicator to move it. then destroy the loaded build and keep the duplicated build you duplicated

you can use buildbot if you want but that isnt very good for this.

third tip

allways use small vehicle spawns.

this is easy for putting vehicles on roads instead of having big spawns like this:



you can use smaller ones



this might make it less lagy if you are wanting to use vehicles for your city.

these are tips. hope they help u

Not bad of a guide
but instead of focusing on the streets maybe you could give some tips for building actual buildings

Pretty good.
Smart things for a city.
I think someone should make a company for their business in the city.
Duck factory Processing plant 8. Don't forget to make advertizing buildboards.

Not too bad of a guide, needs to be expanded a bit, though.

let me help u guys on what i mean

first you load a build like a building,house,etc

simply loaded now here are the tow ways:

first way

load the build

load a road


then duplicate the road and plant it next to your building:




thats easy.

second way:

load your building

then do this:


duplicate your building and plant it any where you want (this is good once you have made roads)


now plant it. Note: only tow print bricks had that annoying duplicator error thing.


now destroy the saved build with a wand or destruct wand

and now plant the road next to the building! these ways should be easy


let me help u guys on what i mean
Aide understood your instructions on how to place a road around a building, or a building around a road.

What Aide was getting at is that if you make a sort of guide on making a city, you should give tips on how to actually construct the buildings.
It's good to know how to do roads and how to place them, but the roads alone don't make a city.
You need good buildings, as well as roads and streets and things.

So, while your guide is useful in the regards of thinking about roads, you could do well to add more information on building all the different structures you're going to have.
