Solved | Township Population Not Increasing

[Kagomeguy]

I just started playing Melvor last week, but I've noticed my Township population never increases.

I've restarted the town twice so far, but still no luck.
Online discussions and the wiki mention that having a smaller amount of your max population filled greatly increases the chance of population increase, but I've been at 2/24 for 3 straight days with 100% happiness and education, with 0 population increase.

My current skill lvl is 6, if that is the problem. I'm unable to progress, as I don't have any Township GP left to buy new land to expand and complete more tasks.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Under the tasks tab there is a Starter guide, did you follow it and still not gain any population?

I haven't touched township sense I maxed it and that was before the rework so I'm not exactly sure how it works now

what does it say after your population. For me atm it's 13502/13800. And gaining roughly 200/t/h

You need houses obviously to get people in. You would want to invest in farms etc jobs for people to start coming into your town.

How did you max it before the rework? Actually nevermind, forgot about mods. Soon enough 120/120 and been on this pretty much eversince it was introduced.

I found out the issue. I had "You have 2,159 ticks to spend" but I never saw a place to spend them before, so I assumed there was a menu i was overlooking or haven't unlocked.
It turns out the ticks/min/hour/day aren't an actual tick/time tracker, but rather how I spend my ticks.

A bit of a convoluted UI decision with no explanation. Even after reading the wiki, it never specified how tick spending worked. But, my issue is resolved now, I appreciate the responses.

This is the improved UI
