Buildings area of influence
|
In Coinrepublik, the concept of a building’s area of influence is central to your city's progress. It’s not just about proximity but about the functional reach of service buildings. These structures, like schools, hospitals, police stations, restaurants, and entertainment venues, provide essential support that affects other buildings within their influence zone. Without this support, many buildings cannot be upgraded beyond their basic levels, making influence management a core part of your development strategy.
|
Each service building creates a circular area of influence that covers a number of nearby land plots. This area increases as the building is upgraded. A level 1 fire station, for example, has a smaller range, while a level 3 fire station affects a much larger portion of your city. This scaling influence encourages investment in service infrastructure, not only for their immediate benefits but also for their growing reach over time. The wider the influence zone, the more buildings it can support, creating strong incentives to upgrade strategically.
|
It’s important to note that only service buildings generate influence. Residential, commercial, and production buildings do not provide any area of influence themselves. Instead, they depend on being located within the influence zones of the right service buildings in order to reach higher levels. A lumber mill, for instance, might need to be within a fire station’s range to reach level 2. To reach level 3, it might also require a school’s influence, reflecting the increasing complexity and needs of an advancing city.
|
This influence system promotes balanced urban growth. You can’t just focus on production or housing; you must also develop supporting infrastructure. As your city matures, higher-tier buildings will demand influence from multiple service types, meaning you’ll need to plan their placement carefully to meet future needs. Proper positioning of these services ensures that your city grows efficiently and without delay.
|
Nearly every building type is affected by this system, except for roads. Residential zones flourish when near schools and entertainment venues, increasing citizen satisfaction and growth. Commercial buildings perform better when within reach of restaurants and leisure facilities. Even defense-related structures may require influence from police stations to operate effectively. Influence zones weave a network of support that drives the overall health and advancement of your republic.
|
Success in Coinrepublik depends on understanding and leveraging these influence mechanics. Strategically placing and upgrading service buildings ensures your entire city benefits from their presence. Failing to meet these influence requirements will block progress, reduce efficiency, and hold back your development. A thriving republic is one where service buildings are treated as core elements of planning, not as optional extras.
