[Intermediate] How to plan a Depot !!

Hello and welcome to this complete tutorial in how to make a depot.
I'm going to go through this completly so there's no chance you won't understand it.

The planning:
Think that you need 3 squares per 'booth' and also think of the extra square for the wall.
Therefor you could plan the depot to be in the sizes of anything that's divided by 4. E.g
8 squares= 8/4= 2 'booths' that means that you could think 4*(the amount of 'booths' you want)

Hope you understand what i mean though. I'll show with an example; 3 'booths' wich means
(4*3=12) 12 squares.


Now you know how you should plan the depot. Also remember to make room for the parcel
seller. Now to building one. I won't use the picture up
since it was just an example.

step 1. Start with an outline (think 'booths' * 4=amount of squares) :

also if you're planning on having a second floor (wich is prefferable) plan a spot for the
stair.

step 2. Place the tile of your option. (prefferable a tile with depot tiles to it) :

And add depot tiles.

step 3. Add a prefferable type of counter.(showing different types of options) :


step 4. add depot lockers and a 'barrier' between the pairs(Also showing different styles) :

Now is also a good time to put out the shop.

It's beginning to take shape now.

step 5. Add wall details such as windows and wall torches.


step 6. add those final details like post boxes, dustbins and coal basins.


Now you have a complete depot. Almost!
What about the upper floor?
Well it should be nearly the same. Maybe some changes.
here's an example.

I hope you have a nice map.!

Thanks anyway, but I'de like to tell you, that postcount doesn't matters,
everyone is the same here, with or without many posts (just to let you know).

But still thanks for adding the credits!

Well done

I think i should get more credit :/
not only a part on the bottom..

btw, great too see that it's good. Thought ppl didn't appreciate it when it had such a low post-rate on OTFans..

And what's up with "intermediate"?

More credit?
What do you mean with that?

The tutorial is really nice, and might help a lot of people who simply can't make a nice DP.
I guess it's intermediate because it's not that complex and it's not that simple too...

Well, w/e, try to make more tutorials and post em here as well as on OtFans...
I know it's kinda strange to see your tutorial posted by another person.

C ya

More credit?
Each line it should say credit to mackan?

Its good as it is

No - I think it has to be written on the top of the post! In the first - third line...
You won't see it, if you post it on the last line Coz everybody (almost everybody) thinks "Lets close this thread", after they watched the last picture

Ok,
Happy now added credits up and down

@Offtopic.

Somehow... I get a feeling that you're acting like a MiniMod :'[ I bet you'll be one of those people later on spamming what people did wrong after everyone else, just to gain a post.
The only sentence that made sence is "thanks for posting it here." but that sentence is always used by Post-Spammers aswell when it's in a blank post.

@Ontopic.
Well, great for the lowones. But, why'd you add diffrent counters, just to let people know they can use anyone of them?


~ Edit.
Nevermind, I just noticed the sentence between your pictures "Also showing diffrent styles."
