How to force spreading out of markets

[Jiffypop]

All of my stalls pop up in the market place really close to the source location, but I need some stalls in the other market place too. Adding more men to the job only adds more stalls from that job.

I think you might be fighting against yourself here. Market stalls are star trek teleporters for the region they are in. The most optimal place for them *is* close to their source.

Greetings,

Try initially building the market to only hold the amount of stalls needed.
- Not a massive area that ends up with 4 of the same stalls of each item.

You can see the # of stalls created on the second last plot assignment tool.
- Need 4 make it hold 4 or near that.
- As you need additional stalls for new items create a slightly larger market area. Perhaps even remove the old area and build larger, as this resets the stalls again.

just some ideas,

Well put. Yeah I agree, just place the marketplace in the middle of the village and build the relevant buildings around it or nearby. The distance to their houses is a consideration as well. The bottleneck is the stocking of the marketplace stalls.

I thought they were distribution networks like every other game. The issue is I have a bunch of houses in the south that won't go 10 feet north to hit the northern market even though there's a massive surplus.
