Districts & roads
Towman’s current starter region is a fictional, Chicagoland-inspired world of office parks, commuter roads, neighborhoods, and busy interchanges. The names and businesses are fictional.
Start small, expand outward
Section titled “Start small, expand outward”| District | Required company level | Unlock cost | Job payout multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shamburg | 1 | Included | 1× |
| Arlington Rise | 3 | $12,000 | 1.25× |
| Vernon Glen | 5 | $35,000 | 1.5× |
Shamburg
Section titled “Shamburg”Your first home: the mall, the tollway, and your depot. Build a fleet that can handle the everyday work before stretching farther out.
Arlington Rise
Section titled “Arlington Rise”A downtown by the train station and the hospital, with busy commuter roads and more work vans. Have the right equipment ready as the jobs get bigger.
Vernon Glen
Section titled “Vernon Glen”Green and leafy, out by the lake. Longer drives and more valuable cars bring new opportunities and better payouts.
Both the company-level requirement and the unlock cost must be met. Locked districts do not generate calls and cannot be used as shortcuts.
Not every road is the same
Section titled “Not every road is the same”- Local roads lead into neighborhoods and individual destinations.
- Arterials connect busier areas of town.
- Highways are faster under normal conditions, but trucks must use connected interchanges to get on and off.
- Interchanges connect highway routes to the rest of the road network.
Your trucks follow the road network automatically. Your decisions are which truck to send and when, rather than steering through each intersection.
Highway opportunities
Section titled “Highway opportunities”Breakdowns and accidents occur more often on major roads. A highway incident receives a 25% payout bonus, but traffic can make a longer trip less attractive than it first appears. Compare the truck picker’s ETAs.
