What is an efficient Town Layout?

[Kundy]

Please share your concepts for a Dinkum Settlement that is primarily focused on efficency (not beauty or decoration or aesthetics). What are ideal spots to build? How many space deos the npc buildings take at minimum? How much gardening is necesarry to sustain everyone?

well, i would say the most efficient thing to do is to just build everything you visit regularly around a teleport tower with your farms/animals/tools/boxes in your back yard and then boats and whatever you need on the other teleport points.

But i don't see, why you really need something like that, unless you want to speedrun it, in which case its propably still too young of a game to have an optimized strategy around it.

Good question, but not entirely sure it applies fully to this game. It is pretty laid back. None of the residence NEED to have anything. There are random requests where they may like to have something, but often times it is a bug, fish or clothing.

There is an "Aesthetic" trait in your status of the town which you can read in Fletch's tent on the counter near hear (Town Hall, don't think it is there in the Tent) but I do not know specifically what raises that score.

I like @Maya-Neko's ideas too with the teleporters. I have been contemplating a way to use them more efficiently.

Here is an outside link to Reddit where someone has created an image of the building sizes.

My town has pretty much evolved over the time I have played. I have my town centralized on the island and then can teleport to each biome as needed. I use the Map markers to mark points of interest or danger zones. :P

Main thing I read about this game is Relax and enjoy.

I have mine arranged in 2 strips around a main square with the telepad at the end of the street. I put the town hall and my house up on hills and built roads up to them. I think it looks nice and sort of like those old west type towns in the movies. If I was going for pure efficiency I would just build them all in a circle around the telepad right behind my house. I do have to move some of the buildings to pave under them and I might put the museum in a different spot. Probably at the end of the street. I've left space on each side for future residents when they get added to the game.
