Help. [Update: Fixed]

Posted by varnel_maiser on 18 August 2017 in English. Last updated on 21 August 2017.

As I was building my nation, I wondered whether to build the smallest cities first or just start with the huge metropolises (I think that’s correctly spelled). As I was thinking, is it easier to build the outlines to the city and motorways first (Assuming all the nature is planned out) or is it easier to build each city one by one with every street named? I really don’t know how to build my nation st this point anymore. Please help me. I am currently building my nation province by province, but is there a more effective way to do this?

Additionally, I seem to have done something to delete my country name from the map, does anyone know how I can fix it? Do I just have to go to every part of my border and fix my Administrative Boundary relation and Multipolygon? [Zoom out from map.]

The relation is now fixed.

Thanks, Trombonist2003

Perkins Point

I’ve decided to officially fix my blue country territory and take a break from my official territory. This comes after a message from admin and a comment on my ‘Area for Sale’ Joke: Area For Sale! (Just A Joke). I hope that my blue country neighbors will be satisfied with me fixing it.

P.S Thanks wangi for inspiring me to do it. I will make it as realistic as possible.

Area For Sale! (Just a Joke)

Posted by varnel_maiser on 29 June 2017 in English.

Perkins Point, a small plot of land with unusually-sized houses, all surrounded by a seawall that even continues onto the land! It has a futuristic type of airport with circular runways, actually researched by the BBC. It is followed by the Greater Perkins Point Area (GPPA) that hosts an [OK] industrial sector by CorpalBrandon and an unfinished Suburbian community. It has a canal for ships and three separate forests (Beatland, Abedies, Point Forests), one with campgrounds. The city is situated near the Drew River Delta NR, a beautiful area, and there is easy access there through Galvin Rd. The city is easily accessible through the N5, Coastal Rd., and Galvin Rd. There are some security bases on the outer islands to ‘Protect’ the area.

*Asking Price: Absolutely nothing. *Host Nation: Gobrassanya. *Nearest City: Bayvue. *Land Worth: IDK. #Feel Free To Edit It!

Have a nice day.

My First City

Posted by varnel_maiser on 24 June 2017 in English.

I started on OpenGeofiction about a week and a bit ago, and while I waited for my territory-requesting period, I decided to make a city from scratch. It was a little confusing where I could build until someone sent me the overview map. I found an area I wanted and started by building a road that went straight across. I then built many supporting roads to fill in the rest of the area. I built a lighthouse on the northernmost point of the peninsula, and some beaches. Following that, I just built whatever I thought I needed in the city, basing the center-area on my neighborhood. I also added a few artificial islands, Karpen and Kirken island on the west coast. Note how they look extremely unrealistic. I then proceeded to build the Business-Residential area. I placed a Moderate-Sized [or so I thought] blob for a residential area, called it the Jan Mooren Townhouses, and put a massive forest behind it. I did not know about the OGF Scale Helper (http://tile.opengeofiction.net/util/map_scale.html?map=2.466367943172236/11.97132/85.14261&map2=x/36.23664/68.11143&pxpt=0.277&scale=100000000), so I did not think about checking the sizes. I then went east and made a suburban area, using the same size houses for every street in the area, and numbering them intricately. I left it there and worked on something else, until Isleño told me to use the OGF Scale Helper to compare the sizes of my buildings to their real-life counterparts. I checked one of my Suburban houses to a house in real life, and my house was 10 times larger. It was too late to resize them all, so I had to build another one, still near Perkins Point.

Lesson of The Day: Always check the scale of your buildings so they aren’t palaces instead of houses. Also, don’t make your buildings weird shapes just so they fit in between every block.
