Unable to buy land

[DasAuto]

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but after the update, I am unable to buy more land. The areas around me were available but now the areas aren't available for me to buy.

Now that I have the residential and commercial demand, I need to expand, but I can't.

I have mods enabled, however I had the mods enabled when I had the ability to buy the land around me.able to buy. I am using a Mac, if it matters. I tried disabling the mods but I still can't buy.

Any ideas?

I see a few good spots to expand into. Look across the bay in the northwest corner.

In the vanilla game you only get 9 tiles. There's a mod that unlocks all the others in the Steam Workship.

Thanks for the reply.

I do have that area purchased already, however I'm not ready to expand on the island yet because I want to mine the or first. It's the areas around my already purchased blue area that was available before, but now it isn't.

Yeah I mentioned that in an edit. In the vanilla game you're only able to buy 8 tiles (meaning you have a total of 9 to work with). Once you buy that 9th tile, your boundaries are set. Since I note that you do have 9 tiles, that's almost definitely the issue you're experiencing.

There's a mod available that allows you to buy all 24 purchasable tiles in the steam workshop and build much bigger maps. I highly recommend it.. Search for "25 tiles" in the steam workshop.

I count 9 tiles used, thats the games Max unless you mod it, whats the problem?

The problem is he didn't know that, and it's not intuitive, so maybe lose the attitude and try to present helpful facts in a helpful manner.

Awesome, that is exactly what I am experiencing. Thanks for letting me know. I'll look up the mod now.

Wow, I only answered the question and asked what the problem was!!! Seems maybe i'm not the one with the attitude here? I stated a fact, I dont see why you should accuse me of having an attitude, who promoted you to forum owner anyway?!!

This is just one of those situations where your tone probably came across in a way you didn't intend. Happens sometimes, god knows it happens to me, don't worry about it.

I think all he is pointing out is that you posted with the assumption that I knew I could only use 9 tiles, so, although your post may have pointed it out, your delivery could have been more helpful and informative.

Did you manage to find that mod?

I'm not sure how there can be a 'tone' when I didn't use anything to signify one like caps, emoticons, etc. I do rather take offence to someone saying I had an 'attitude' though, when I simply answered a question. Again, all I said in response to someone asking about unlocking tiles was that "I could not see what the problem was". Can you please explain how an 'attitude' could be interpreted from that?

It's the problem with the internet and how people can read phrasing and tone into text when none is intended. No one's getting at you.

I think the words in question were "whats the problem?" which could be, and in fact was, taken wrong. Sort of confrontational.

In my head it read as "What's your problem, Mate?" which is sort of an aggressive tone.

And I realise you did not intend this at all, you were simple asking for clarification about the actual problem.


But things can be interpreted wrong, I've done it myself.

Fair enough, surely if youre not clear on something, its wiser to err on the side of caution? Seemd a bit odd to jump on me just because I may not have phrased it as he would like. Any, nuff said, end of.

I did find it thanks, and it works perfectly!


And I appreciate both responses. No big deal.
