Came to the same style of thinking when it comes to making your town interchangeable, definitely needed and less stressful. Done something similar with rows down the left-hand side and one column at the end of the row's. Leaving the top part with my GBs and all my non-road buildings mostly on the far right-hand side behind my 6 by 4s & 6 by 3s that run down the side if my column. Found this way i can place in all types of buildings without having any problems at all. Unless Inno comes out with some wacky shape's but let's hope not 🤣. Thanks again for doing these vids and again will be passing on your link to my world.
When I was playing about with your method. Will say my eyes lit up with the number of 2 by 3s and 6 by 4s that were able to be placed. I then doubled it below and tried adding my 7 by 3s and 6 by 4s. Wasn't neat but nearly worked, will try with my 4 by 4s and 4 by 5s instead. Guess my next question is. When you've helped other player's with they're towns did any of them have more larger buildings from events than smaller buildings like the 2 by 3s and 2 by 2s. Because found that I didn't have enough ones that didn't need road access, even though you could place them.
Sweet! Sound like it helped. Shoot me some before and after photos on discord .... I'd love to check it out. And yes. Some of the redesigns I've done had primarily 3x3 or 4x4 older buildings. Minimal 2x2 or 2x3 to use a "nub pattern" You can use the same template and use the main nub group for largest buildings. 4x4, 5x5, etc. Run 3x3 stuff in a continuous group in the bottom. It won't decrease your efficiency- but you will end up with more roads. Having a bunch of roads isn't necessarily a bad thing. Its justified As long as you have quality road buildings and they're connected efficiently
Just to put it in perspective, I use around 250 roads and hit 120% consistently ... regardless of building changes. Some of my teammates/friends hover around the same % but with only 100 roads. Fewer roads = more buildings, so the goal is to accumulate more roadless stuff. But work with what ya got 😉
Great Video 👍 You explained your system realy well and im gonna switch to it once i got enough space. I just have a simple question, what do u place besides your Townhall? You said, start the nubs at your longest line and what to put below it, but what is with the space above the Nub-Line where the Townhall sits? 100%'s and Roadless? Or something else?
Thanks for the tutorial. Now I need to carve out half a day for a complete layout redo.
Your stats will thank you 😉

I started redoing my city like this and then realized that about 60 percent of my 2×2s and 3×3s don't need roads.

Glad it helped and thanks for the comment! I put roadless top and bottom. I'll post a couple screenshots to show some alternate layouts
I just made a short video with some variations. Check it out here
