Zoning with ctrl key, questions.

[Spamoidutout 124]

Hi !!

I've been downloading a lot of custom buildings the last days.

I've noticed the authors of some big growable ones recommend zoning holding the ctrl key to "help" the buildings growing.

 

I know the game is able to divide or join lots when needed... but does it change if you ctrl-zone ? You will get bigger lots, so the game is supposed to be able to subdivide them if needed.

Or can it lead to zones not being used because of too big lots ?

Will those big bats still have a chance to grow if I do not ctrl-zone ?

 

Thanks in advance for your expertise.

Depends on the zone direction. Usually zones split horizontally, but not vertically. The CTRL key zoning doesn't prevent this behavior at all. It also has a tendency to prevent zone flattening (which makes zones more appealing to develop), so keep this in mind if you are zoning on slopes.

Hmmm... well I think I wouldn't want big buildings on slopes actually
