Best place for Residential Services? And why do you think that?

[Imaginetheday]

I've seen a lot of people talking about resetting for RS placement. What do you think is best? And more importantly, why?

I think I want it off to the side, rather than in the middle. I want a big open area that I can landscape and don't want to have to work around RS.

Also, is RS always going to be a tent? Not sure how I feel about that.

I really really hope we can move around RS too

I want everything in the bottom left if possible, with a river dividing the town from the rest of the island. I want an Urban themed town on the island and use the rest for parks/forest.

i think rs eventually upgrades into a building, which is when isabelle will also be there.

but honestly, i have no idea where i?d like it to be - wherever i can clearly sketch out clean pathways without it winding up all wonky would be nice - i think maybe i?ll want it near the middle as i don?t think i want it in a corner, but who knows lol

Personally I'd like resident services top middle of my island, for easy access. I hope it can be moved around though!

I wanted similar, either side just not in smack dab in the middle lol

straight up from the dock but not too close to it maybe. eventually creating a little town with the other shops near it

I'd prefer it off to the side if possible. Whether we can move it remains to be seen, but I'll be keeping that in mind when looking for a map.

I think it's best in the middle because it makes a good centerpiece.

My ideal residential service location would be right across the airport so I can make a straight 2 space wide path connecting them. I want this because it gives me the first structure to build off the rest of the town off of regarding paths and placements.

This was exactly what I was thinking! I like to develope a part of my town and slowly work outwards. I also want to really choose how to welcome people coming to my town for the first time, and I think having the town hall front and center will be a good vibe

Near the dock would suit me best, I think. I think I'll want a sort of port-o-call around the dock and residential neighborhoods off a bit, for privacy.

 

[Beehaw]

I'd like it close to the airport, but not straight up the middle if that makes sense. I plan on having it serve as a kind of welcome center to the island.

This but just a little separated so I can make a four way pathway with nooks cranny and able sisters on the left and the right. It?s going to be a little Main Street.

 

[Khaelis]

I personally want mine in the bottom left area.

If we can move it, I want to divide my town into two areas. The first area would be more of a residential area where the players and villagers can live, and the second area would be where the stores are. I would want residential services to be in the center of the residential area and a plaza to be in the center of the commercial area

 

[dizzy bone]

I'd like it somewhere near my dock or in a corner somewhere. I wouldn't be opposed to it being right in the middle either, but it wouldn't be my first choice. I don't like when everything is too centred around something because it makes me fall into designing areas too symmetrically. I'm also hoping that we can eventually move the RS later on.

 

[ChaosKitten]

My perfect placement is to have RS right across from the airport, not too close but not too far away. They'll be a part of my more "urban" district with shops, museum, etc.

Maybe we'll have a chance to move it when it upgrades from a tent to a building, but I'm going to assume not just to stay on the safe side!

 

[Fey]

The location depends a bit on the size of the Island; if there?s enough space to either side, I?d prefer it in the center, a straight shot up from the airport. If there?s not, which is honestly more likely, off to a side would be better for me.

On the subject of Resident Services, I really have been wondering when, and specifically why, we became so set on the thought that it won?t be relocatable. While I still think that?s a possibility to keep in mind when picking a map, I don?t want to leap to conclusions either. This is a new game, and one that has been emphasizing customization and flexibility from the very start?there?s really no reason to strongly assume RS won?t be moveable like any other facility.

Center or upper part of the island
