Galesfeburg

[jason leo 485]

Children should have a place for socialization and playing together, some parks could make them happier, i thought.

[hotChocolate 95]

Nice, very nice! I'm torn between voting for 2 or 3, but a park will ceirtainly make the city look nice in the future. So I'm going with 2!

[Susaji 523]

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Lyhoko: Remember to look at the options, #3 is for farms, #2 is the park. Or just vote for park and not give a number.

[SimCoug 5,972]

3, farms... Towns gotta eat, right?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

July, 48EL: Park

Lyhoko: The results of the poll are as follows: 0 votes for a beach, 6 votes for a park, and 3 votes for farms.

Some additions have been made to the waterfront region, such as shopping areas and a carousel.

Additionally, the town has it's first swimming pool, for those who don't wish to swim in the actual ocean, and don't have their own pool at their house.

The park itself has a playground, various flowers, a gazebo, and multiple grassy areas to play in... just watch out for trees.

Overview of the park and surrounding area.

Galesfeburg certainly has grown quite a bit from when we first saw it. Quite dark, too. And those trees are still all lit up for some reason.

And, of course, the map.

Lyhoko: No new streets named? Oh, well.

Poll

Lyhoko: What should be added to town next?

Lyhoko: Remember to look closely at which option is which number when voting. Don't say something like "3 - an industrial area." 3 is farms, the industrial area is 2.

Lyhoko: Voting is now closed!

1: 0 votes

Add an actual beach area, instead of a random flat sandy area

2: 3 votes

A small industrial area, to provide more jobs

3: 7 votes

Additional farms, to reduce the town's reliance on outside food supplies

Lyhoko: Please choose one option at a time... but you may vote more than once, as long as you do not double post. Let other people have a chance to vote!

Nice update! I really like the waterfront area and pool.

As for the poll... I choose option 3 - farms. More food and they look cool.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

I say industry and maybe some more commerce would be best. The recreation areas look nice. They did a good job.

[SimCoug 5,972]

Farms, farms, farms, farms... does that count as stuffing the ballot box?

BTW, the street map is looking good.

[Benedict 3,119]

I like the fact that the park has an irregular shape.

Vote -> 2. A little industry to boost employment and the city coffers

[jason leo 485]

Great update ! I would say that the city will need more food as the city gets bigger, more farms to prevent starved sims must be a good idea at this moment.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Replies:

Schulmanator: And now, what will be next?

jason leo: Or one big park.

hotChocolate: Thanks for voting!

Hazani Pratama: Thanks for voting!

Benedict: Thanks for voting!

Lyhoko Leaci: This isn't a vote...

SimCoug: True...

sim_link: Especially the SPAM ones.

Schulmanator²: Glad you like it!

SimCoug²: One post, one vote.

Benedict²: Glad you like it!

jason leo²: More farms will also provide more jobs for the sims...

July, 48EL, Part 2: Crops

Lyhoko: The results of the poll are as follows: 0 votes for a beach, 3 votes for industry, and 7 votes for farms.

Some farms have popped up off to the side in the southeast part of town, growing this such as pluftagen (a squarish purple fruit, normally sweet and juicy) and gris. (a wheat-like crop)

The rest of the farms have sprung up along the main road, in this location it's just grains of various sorts, such as wheat, rye, oats, and mara. (the "corn" field that's been there since the town was founded) There seems to be a bit of a crop failure in that one field, though. Maybe it's a low-lying spot that flooded in a heavy rain?

Several more crops have appeared around the road to the power plant as well. Akanen (A crop with various tubers) and lcepän (salad greens, more or less) can be found down here.

Overview of the farms and the south end of town.

And, of course, the map. No time has passed however, so nothing is new.

3. The first set of farms looks great, so I'd like to see more.

[hotChocolate 95]

3. MOAR FARMS!!!11!!one

No, but seriously, those farms look very good. I'd like to see them surround the city, but that's just me.

[jason leo 485]

It seem that everyone is full now. However, they will need money and Galesfeburg is not a city with 100% farmers, so they will need another place to work. So let them to work as labor in those small industries, so they could get some money and buy foods, and the products could be exported which would cause trading and business start to flourish. I would choose option 2.

[vivapanda 422]

Nice work with the maps, are the streets named in some fictional language?

[SimCoug 5,972]

3 - more farms! Everything looks great so far - I'd like to see a wide shot of the whole town

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

May, 49EL: Coast

Lyhoko: The results of the poll are as follows: 1 vote for a beach, 2 votes for industry, and 5 votes for farms.

Weþureeg St. has expanded quite a bit, and now extends out of the north end of town before turning east along the coast of the Yanar River delta. Several farms have sprung up along this new area to take advantage of the new space while remaining relatively close to town.

Various sorts of crops can be found over here as well as we head closer to town, such as lasëm, whose seeds are used to make oil, along with being eaten by themselves, keurats, (carrots, but they're normally purple, or sometimes yellow) kajen (a round fleshy red fruit) and ketmienta, (catnip, used in the production of beer as well as for cats) along with more mara.

Closer to town is the spaceport again, along with the region's first dairy farm. Finally, a way of getting fresh milk!

Well, there's some sort of grain here, but it seems that Lyhoko never told me which it is... The town has expanded out in this direction as well.

Lyhoko: One can make bread with it.

Thanks... That certainly narrows it down...

An overview of town and most of the farms. South is up.

And, of course, the map.

Lyhoko: "Field" is Myonian for "park", "granon" is Zukish for "peninsula", "tiel" is Myonian for "tail", and "mun" is Myonian for "moon".

1: 2 votes

2: 2 votes

3: 0 votes

Additional farms (near Galesfeburg), to reduce the town's reliance on outside food supplies

4: 2 votes

A separate nearby farming village, to help provide food but without taking up space near Galesfeburg

Lyhoko: A three way tie?

I say some industry...

... and the BFA is quite pleased about the catnip. Perhaps a BFA consulate is not far behind?

[jason leo 485]

It's time for industrial revoulution, let them grow and get some pollution and a city that start the time of significant growth and the golden age.

[Fox 1,444]

The farms look good.. really glad to see you still playing after all this time.

Your farms look really great and love the maps.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Replies:

Benedict: Thanks for voting!

hotChocolate: Well, they're closer to doing so now.

jason leo: That is a long vote...

vivipanda: Yes, two of them actually. Zukish (which isn't related to any known Earth language) and Myonian (which is pretty closely related to English)

SimCoug: And there was one in the most recent update.

Schulmanator: But where would it go? this isn't that big of a town yet...

jason leo²: Hopefully there isn't that much pollution, this is a high-tech country after all...

Fox: Glad you like it! There was a bit of a gap before I started this CJ, though...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

The BFA is a visionary organization. They can tell this is a pro-feline land destined for greatness. Perhaps a BFA outpost/CCO office near the catnip fields?

CCO-- Catnip Comptroller's Office

[SimCoug 5,972]

Great farms. Factories are good for making things. Things are good. I vote for factories.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

March, 50EL: Nyuumau

Lyhoko: The results of the poll are as follows: 2 votes for a beach, 2 votes for industry, and 0 votes for farms near Galesfeburg, and 2 votes for a farming village.

Lyhoko: Three way tie makes things somewhat difficult... So here's part 1 of a 3 part update!

Lyhoko: Part 3 will be separate from parts 1 and 2, though.

Nyuumau is a new village located on route 3, several kesan/miles/kilometers off to the east of Galesfeburg. A crossroads area has popped up on the west side of town to allow the farms to spread out more, as well.

Here's the center of town, which is pretty much all that there is as of now. But then Galesfeburg was a similar size when it first was founded, as well.

Several of the farms on the north end of town. This area is a bit hillier than Galesfeburg, but not compared to some of the mountains nearby...

And some more farms to the south of town, which include some sort of really tall grass, along with a surprisingly high percentage of open fields with nothing in particular growing.

There aren't quite as many lights here as in Galesfeburg...

And, of course, the map.

Lyhoko: "Shieð" is still Myonian for "forest", and "fal" is Myonian for "full". "Nyuu" is Myonian for "new", in relation to the town name. It could also mean "actual(ly)" or "now". "Mau"'s just a name here.

Lyhoko: Next up, a new beach and industrial area for Galesfeburg!

Poll

Lyhoko: What should be added to town next?

Lyhoko: In this case, votes will only be added up after all three parts have been shown, so remember to keep voting!

Lyhoko: Remember to look closely at which option is which number when voting. Don't say something like "3 - a port." 3 is expansion, the port is 2.

Lyhoko: Voting is now closed!

1: 12 votes

A BFA outpost (Connection to Schulmania)

2: 1 vote

A port for the new industrial area

3: 4 votes

Expand Galesfeburg

4: 7 votes

An additional nearby village, to create a fuller region

Lyhoko: Please choose one option at a time... but you may vote more than once, as long as you do not double post. Let other people have a chance to vote!

3, please.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

They need #3 but of course a BFA outpost would be funner. (sorta kinda a word, aint it?)

[jason leo 485]

All cities should be expanded and this one is not an exception. I vote 3.
