Possibility to adjust city layouts?

Post by Utankung »

I have read through the forums in search for an answer to my question but failed to see anyone talking about the specific thing I'm after. I want to know if there is any way of adjusting the layout of the blocks that are used to render the different cities.

In my experience it is very uncanny that most cities appear like squares where all houses are almost evenly spread out within the square. With minor adjustments without breaking the tiling structure of the blocks i believe this effect coulld be at least slightly improved.

Well you must have missed the stickied posts about world data override systems then. Not gonna lie, it's quite cutting edge and not easy to do, but it is possible. Note that you will need to understand the DF block data quite well to get anywhere.
See my mod code for examples of how to change various aspects of DFU: https://github.com/ajrb/dfunity-mods
