About a month for me. I was also very lazy though, sooo yea :/ To tell you the truth it was kind of fun for me. I was planning out my new town as I went. Thinking of the layout and what not. I would remove a hill and think. "Hey! this looks like a nice place to put a market or something." I don't know. I just had a good time working on my town. It did help though boston81 did a lot of the leg work Thanks man.
I built mine on land. It took longer, but my residents are happy because they can go and make a basement.
I found an incredibly rocky desert.... Then I hired someone to destroy all the hills. Then I leveled the desert. Then I topped it off with 40,000 dirt blocks for a 200 by 200 flat land town.
You mayors should learn! Never do the flattening on your own! Hire builders to flatten and pay cheap, while you farm at $15k/hr.. This still makes you money Hired 6 builders, took me 3 hours to flatten my town!
Im always on for a bit at 2:40 est and weekends. I wont be here the next 4 days though, Ill be going up North for a bit. Anyways, if you remember pierceporcher15, hes pretty huge now. Legitgolfer still plays as well. Everybody else.. is gone lol :0
