Has anyone found the optimal spot for xmas market

[Stratsie]

I found a space where 30 buildings is affected by the buff and possible to place storages on the outside for good walk times!!

Enjoy this s2 setup which asking me is the best possible.

1. Basing of known geometry and TSO map grid, you can't do 11x11, 9x9, 5x5 symertical cover starting in 2x2 building.
2. You may see 3x3 squares gap in the middle... why?
1+2. Answer is that BB programers used 6x6, 10x10 and 12x12 coverage which can be seen as corners of each small 1x1 green square. So 5x5 "areas" grid got 6x6 "corners" grid and so on.
You may see it below as CAD drawing:

White - island grid
Green and green dashed - 11x11 squares grid
Dark green hatch - the REAL 12x12 coverage.
Green lines in the middle mark Market placing.


Here is a sample from tsotest with 12x12 area (marked with pavements to make it simple to see):
http://prntscr.com/m31mjs


As you see - lvl4 buff covers all buildings placed completely inside 12x12 square. There is nothing like "top-left corner" or anything like that involved. You may see 4 buildings placed partialy out od 12x12 zone - they are not covered.

BTW - friary (and water mill) needs left and middle (4 total as other buildings) squares covered to use buff (two right squares are just a graphic add-on).

And finaly - inside 3x3 gap in green grid becomes only 2x2 in map grid (for squares ocupied by merket itself).


Things I just show are just theory, but upholded with two screens you can see. If you think I'm wrong - feel free to prove I'm wrong ;]

Cheers.

30 buildings covered by the market buffs in s2/s5: http://prntscr.com/m3cggf

Slowest walking time of any of the buildings (the southeast intermediate papermill) is 72s.

Personally I prefer sector 9 for xmas market production. 29 spots which includes 2 gold mines. Walk time between 3 and 10 flags with storehouses positioned strategically around the square.


Here is a screenshot, not completely set up buildings yet (saving three spots for flowerfarms near storehouses in upcoming event in - I suspect - February & might use the three longest spots for small pumpkin cemeteries) but lined up the important details:

Yellow line = lvl 3 buff | Total of 15 buildings
cyan line = lvl 4 buff | Total of 29 buildings

Has anyone found the best placement for the Love tree or are you moving the love tree to the S9 location and moving the market elsewhere? (and if moving to where?)
thank you
