Go-Go Town! Zone Customization: Add a Second Mining Zone

Buying a zone slot does not place the zone

Buy and unlock zone slots in the EGO Tech App. Each industry can have up to four zones when fully upgraded.

Once a slot is available, place the new zone through the build menu.

How to add a new zone

1. Confirm a zone slot is available

   Zone slots are purchased and unlocked in the EGO Tech App. Without a free slot the add option will not appear.

2. Open Build Menu > Zones

   Navigate to the option for the industry you want. An industry with a free slot shows a plus symbol (+).

3. Place the zone sign

   A zone sign appears on the map for placement. It marks where the zone starts.

4. Add connected tiles

   The cursor changes to empty tiles with an Add option. Tiles must be connected to the zone sign to join the zone and turn striped. There are width, height, and area limits, with current usage shown in the build menu zone description.

5. Add zone props

   Once the zone is built, you can add the matching props for that industry.

Modify or remove an existing zone

To modify a zone, open Build Menu > Zones and select the zone. Its tiles appear striped in the world, and Find Zones jumps the camera to it. Add or remove tiles by interacting with them until the shape matches what you want.

To remove a zone entirely, delete every tile except the one holding the zone sign, then remove the zone sign itself.

Forestry zones became easier to edit in 1.0.26228

PC hotfix 1.0.26228 changed Forestry Zone editing: trees and shrubs placed for forestry now allow terraforming underneath them, and shrubs can be moved outside Forestry Zones.

If an older guide says you must remove those props before reshaping the ground, or that every forestry shrub must remain inside the zone, that advice predates the August 16 hotfix.

Paint more ground at once

PC 1.0.26502 lets you choose a 1×1, 2×2 or 3×3 cursor when painting terrain in build mode.

This changes the terrain-painting area. It does not establish a new way to add industrial zone tiles; use the zone sign and connected-tile steps above for that.

Cross-zone limits you should plan around

• Couriers do not move ingredients between zones for further processing. For example, raw milk in one Farming Zone will not be delivered to another Farming Zone to become cheese.
• Zone workers may not obtain resources across zones. Sugarcane grown in one zone cannot be processed in a different Farming Zone.
• Connect zones using storage skips configured for the unprocessed resource.

What a Mining Zone contains

Mining Zones contain resources such as Stone, Metal Nuggets, Gems and Raw Mana. Their equipment includes the Foundry, Assembler, Distiller and Mana Extractor.
