TheoTown Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Build Your Own Metropolis

City Planning

In this section, we’ll be discussing the most important aspects of the game when it comes to planning and constructing your city. There were some instances where we found ourselves lost and confused over what certain tools were for and how they were used. We’ve compiled everything that we feel can be useful to know for new players of the game.

Creating Regions

At the start of the game, a region will already be built for you and the game will greet you with a short tutorial of how to play the game. However, if the current region is not to your liking, you can always create a new one after the tutorial (unless you decide to skip it). To do this, tap the “New region” button at the upper left corner of your screen. There are many ways to customize the region to your liking:

Seeds – You can input a number, randomize one with the dice icon, choose one of the presets with the icon next to it, or load one with the folder icon.

Size – You can select a region size between Huge (2.5 sqmi), Giant (10 sqmi), Even bigger (40 sqmi).

Layout – This determines the chunks of the region you can work on at a time. A 2×2 layout will always be divided by 4 squares. A circle layout on the other hand will have one large square with several smaller squares above, below and to the sides of it. For this layout, the small squares at the corners will always be empty.

Map Preview – This is where you can see what your region’s map will look like. Tapping the squares will give you the following option:

Exclude – Turns an area black, making it empty.

Include – Adds a map to an empty area.

Merge – Merges 4 squares into 1 larger square.

Split – Splits 1 square into 4 smaller squares.

Trees – Toggling this will generate trees on top of the terrain.

Decorations – Toggling this will generate decorations on top of the terrain.

Terrain – Gives you the option to add Hills and Rivers. It also lets you choose the terrain’s Roughness which dictates how rocky and uneven the land is. You can choose between Flat, Less, Default, More, and Extreme.

Biomes – Allows you to choose what biomes you want your terrain to have or not have. Note that not all biomes will show up in 1 region or map even if all of them are checked. The game will typically choose 4-5 biomes randomly from the list.

After pressing continue, you can name your region. If you want to change your region’s name, simply tap the pencil icon next to the region’s name at the lower right corner of the screen at the region view.

The region you made will be generated and divided into locked sections. At the start, you can unlock 1 section immediately and create a new city. If you choose another section, you’ll need to wait for 30 minutes before it gets unlocked. The third section you choose will require you to get at least 1,000 inhabitants first.

The other closer sections may also have this rule while the sections which are much further can only be unlocked once you unlock one of its closer areas. Because of the wait time, we recommend unlocking one of the sections immediately after the first one so that if you want to work in another city, you won’t need to wait for it later. By then, you may also be able to unlock your third city.

If you create another region, that new region will be the one that will always be loaded by default whenever you open the game. If you want to work on your other regions, simply tap the right and left arrow keys at the lower right corner of the screen to look through them. At the start, you’ll have 3 regions: Theonia (tutorial map), Tributaries, and Flat Earth.

You can also tap the button with three horizontal lines for more options for your regions.

Delete region – This deletes the region that is currently shown on the screen. All regions can be deleted except for the first three regions. For those regions, “Reset region” appears for that option instead, bringing it back to its original state.

Upload region – This will let you save the region that is currently shown on the screen online and let other players access and build on it. You can add a password to it if you don’t want other random players to access it. However, before you can do this, you’ll need to spend 200 Diamonds. If you don’t have enough, check the “How to Get Diamonds” section of our guide.

Region statistics – This will list down the number of cities and habitants you have as well as their general happiness, along with energy and water they’ve produced and used.

Creating Single Cities

You can create a single city that’s not connected to any region by tapping the “Single Cities” button at the upper left part of the screen. The process of creating a new city is just the same as creating a region but you will only have 1 square generated. You can choose between Small (0.04 sqmi), Medium (0.16 sqmi), Big (0.63 sqmi), or Huge (2.5 sqmi).

Unlike making a region, you can name your city, write your name as the author, and choose the game mode between Easy, Middle, Hard, and Sandbox. Sandbox will allow you to build structures anything right off the bat except for structures that require you to build something else before you unlock them.

This is actually our recommended mode for players who want to test out certain features of the game and experiment. If you want to reload the single cities you’ve created, you can access them through the same button. These cities can be deleted and duplicated in game through the same menu.

Basic Building Tools

Before you start constructing your city, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with the basic building tools and its functions.

Build

The hammer icon at the upper left corner of your screen opens up the build menu. Everything that can be built will be shown there along with other building tools. Below are the ones that allow you to build structures for your city:

Recent – Displays recently built structures.

Plugins – Displays player-made plug-ins that you’ve downloaded from the Plugins menu found in the settings.

Terrain – Displays options to change the terrain type, as well as add hills, rocks, mountains, asphalt, and plants. It also contains the Ground Tool.

Transport – Displays everything related to transportation such as roads, road decorations, airports, and so on.

Zones – Displays options to create Residential, Commercial, and Industrial zones.

Services – Displays options to build structures that provide important services such as fire department, education, health, police and military.

Supply – Displays options to build utilities for energy, water, waste disposal, and funeral.

Public – Displays options to build structures that increase happiness of inhabitants such as parks, sports facilities, management buildings, awards, religious buildings, and decorations.

Landmarks – Displays options to build tourist attractions that can generate income.

Agency – Displays options to build futuristic structures that unlock more buildings and upgrades.

To place your structure, select one of these options and a grid will appear over the whole map. Depending on the type of structure, the approach to building is different. If you change your mind about something you placed, you can tap undo. Be warned that there is a limit to how many times you can go back to a previous state.
