About the Town to City Guide
A comprehensive, community-maintained resource for players of Town to City, the Mediterranean city builder by Galaxy Grove. This guide covers everything from your first fishing dock to a 500-citizen trade empire.
The Game
Town to City is a grid-less city builder and management simulation set along the sun-drenched Mediterranean coastline. Developed by Galaxy Grove and published by Kwalee, the game challenges you to transform a humble coastal settlement into a thriving maritime city through careful resource management, strategic trade, and attentive citizen care.

About This Guide
The Town to City Guide was created to fill a gap: when the game launched, information was scattered across Steam forums, Reddit threads, and YouTube comments. Players needed a single, well-organized resource that covered everything from the first 10 minutes of gameplay to advanced optimization strategies. This site is that resource.
Site Mission
Our aim is to give Town to City players the clearest, most current reference we can put together, free to read and easy to check. Pages are revised as the game changes, and where a figure or a strategy is genuinely uncertain, the page says so rather than presenting a guess as settled. We believe community knowledge should be freely available and permanently accessible: no paywalls, no login requirements, no account needed.
What We Cover
The guide currently spans eight major topic areas, each with dedicated pages that go deep on mechanics and strategy. The Beginner's Guide walks new players through the first hour with an exact build order and UI walkthrough. The Buildings page catalogs every structure in the game with resource costs, requirements, and placement tips. Citizens covers tier progression, happiness management, couples, pets, and hidden quests. Resources maps out production chains, raw material management, and supply chain optimization. The Economy page details taxation, gold management, marketplace dynamics, and trade profitability. Research breaks down all 22 tech tree nodes with priority rankings. Tips and Tricks collects 15 strategies that experienced players use. And Layouts explains the three-zone planning system and beauty adjacency mechanics.
How This Guide Is Made
- What can be checked comes first. Building costs, unlock requirements, citizen needs, and system specs are carried over from the game and its Steam store listing wherever those exist. Where a page leans on numbers that come from player reports rather than the game itself, it says so instead of passing them off as first-hand.
- Uncertainty is labeled, not hidden. When something cannot be confirmed (a mechanic nobody has tested, a number that differs between reports), pages say so instead of printing a guess.
- Revisions are public. Every guide revision is dated and logged on our guide updates page, so you can check how current any page is before trusting it.
- Readers keep us honest. Spotted something wrong or outdated? Send a correction. Verified fixes land quickly and get logged.
Community & Updates
This guide is community-maintained and regularly updated to reflect game patches, balance changes, and newly discovered strategies. If you spot outdated information, have a tip that should be included, or want to suggest a new topic, your input is welcome.
How to Contribute
The best way to contribute is to share the strategies and discoveries that have worked for you. If you have found an optimal tax rate, a better build order, a hidden citizen interaction, or a research priority that outperforms what is currently documented, let us know. Submissions are read and folded into the guide where they improve it.
Additionally, if you notice any information that has become outdated due to a game patch (building costs that changed, mechanics that were rebalanced, or new systems that are not yet covered), reporting it helps keep the guide current for everyone. The game is actively developed, and our guide evolves alongside it.
Update Frequency
The guide is revised as the game changes. Corrections are folded in as they come up and recorded in the changelog.
