Multiple Markets possible?

[Schuetze_Klaus]

Greetings,
im not at home rn so i cant check. Is it possible to have more than one Market and if so is it a good Idea to have more than one?

Yes you can and you should. Once you pass 200 citizens you really need it.

I have noticed that the market's circle of supply only covers a certain distance and once you build homes outside of that circle, then you need another market or more to cover it.

Alright perfect! 👍

Yes for larger settlements (and when you get to year 25+) you will need multiple markets - however remember that you can use the move building tool, which helps you drastically restructure the settlement.

I have a setup wich has the market in de middle of 32 houses and i would like to continue that way. 👍

more markets = more tax income.

I've been wanting to directly test this and just haven't.

Like just a basic test. 20 Houses one Market, 20 Houses 2 Overlapping Markets, 20 Houses Two Markets serving 10 Houses.

Too busy just chilling and playing to do GAME SCIENCE^tm.

Fired up a new settlement on Pacifist just to satisfy my curiosity. Speed ran to the ability to build Markets, then ran the following:

6 Shelters covered by one Market: 6g income
6 Shelters covered by two Markets completely overlapping: 6g income
6 Shelters, two far spread groups of 3, each group covered by one Market no overlap: 6g income.

Desirability doesn't appear to factor in at all beyond each housing jump (i.e. Shelter to Homestead) generating more tax income. So a Shelter at Desirability 8 generates the same amount as a Shelter at Desirability 24.
