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

[Jhine7]

Since we don't know whether we can move it around, this will be the only thing I reset for.

I want a boardwalk in my town that includes the shops and resident services lining the south end of the map. I want the resident services to be almost center with the Dodo airlines, if possible. Probably going to be impossible to get them to perfectly line up. Anywho, with this setup it will be nice to see the lights of the boardwalk as the sun sets while I fish on the shore. I also want be able to hop off my flight and head right to the shops or drop-off box after a day of foraging on a random island.

Because I am so particular on specifically organizing the south end of my map in such a way, and am pretty certain the resident services cannot be re-located, (cobblestone lining the front is my clue), I will reset for this.

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

No, they showed in the direct that it becomes a building at some point when the island upgrades past being a deserted island.

 

[DJStarstryker]

I agree with the people that say they'd like it really near the airport. It'd be neat to build a whole services/shops area all together.

 

[effluo]

I still have no clue. I really need to decide what I’m okay with soon.

Reading what everyone else is thinking is helping though.

I really like the idea of making it part of a shopping district, close to the beach. Very touristy!

 

[John Wick]

Far away, to the top or bottom right.
I don't want it in the center of large bodies of land that I want to colonize and landscape.

I wish Main Street was back, or on another island.

It's great we have a bigger map, but when all the shops are there it's not so big.

 

[Mayor-of-Bliss]

I wanted it straight back as far from the airport in the center to make a hidden town in the woods deal BUUUUT since I doubt I can move it -_- in the middle front to do the opposite and make like a beach town

 

[Garrett]

Bottom middle, near the airport.

 

[zeroFLUX]

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.

I deal with this is well, feeling pushed into designing symmetrically. The best towns in my opinion always end up being the ones with an organic design. So much more personaility. I think a unsymmetrical style suits the Island motif particularly well!

 

[John Wick]

I wish we could get confirmation of relocating RS.

It would save a lot of people resetting for maps.

 

[FaerieRose]

I want it pretty close to the airport, but not directly next to it. Maybe one tile to the diagonal?

 

[Xme]

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

Super cute idea, like a little marina near the water!

 

[HoennMaster]

I don't want mine in the middle of the island, but also don't want it to any beaches, so a little off center to the left would be perfect.

 

[pocky]

right at the center of the map would be ideal for me, but it doesn't matter all that much

 

[wonderwitch]

I would like to have a shopping district and a neighbourhood area for the villagers. So I’m thinking having RS and shops in the top middle, so I can decorate along the beach with lots of freedom and space. I might change my mind, but since most maps have the RS in the top middle (if I remember right) then with this plan I can start building/planning my town straight away, rather than waiting for the ability to move RS if we’re even able to do that. Like I said, I might change my mind when it comes to it. I’m loving everyone’s ideas!

Edit: by “top middle” I mean top middle of the first main land we have access to. I just googled the maps and turns out I’m wrong about where RS is usually located. So I want to say the same as above, but I will have to move RS in that spot. We’ll see haha

 

[Fey]

just a quick rant

I?ve been thinking about it for a while, and come to this conclusion:
it wouldn?t just be nice if we knew whether RS can be relocated?it specifically sucks to not tell us if it can?t.

They?ve been emphasizing Island customization and our ability to relocate ?houses and facilities??doing that, while also making it impossible to move the biggest facility on the map, would be a misleading, sucky move.
I realize there wouldn?t be any ill intent behind it, but it could?ve been so easy to slip that information in directly, or simply imply it by saying that we can only relocate ?most facilities?.

Sorry for venting my frustration; I just had to get that off my chest >.<?

 

[moo-kun]

Is like to be ale to move it too! I'm not a fan of having it in the middle either (๑꒪ㅁ꒪๑)

 

[Soot Sprite]

I hope we can move it, but I'm prepared to reset until I get a RS placement I like if I have too. I'm not that picky about where it is, I can work with a bunch of different may layouts, I just want to have a seperate area for it.

 

[Bluebellie]

Bottom middle surrounded by the other islanders. I kind of want to create a little town with the islanders and then the rest of the island will the shops and facilities.
