(with Cost Balancing, Automatic World Cleanup & Player Frustration)
InZOI has a strong and creative building system, but the current fixed, very small, and square plots significantly limit the ability to realize larger ideas and visions.
Idea / Proposal:
-
Players should be able to draw buildable land freely, similar to how the pool build tool works.
-
Instead of rigid square plots, allow organic, freely shaped areas.
-
Players should be able to personally decide whether a drawn area is:
-
a residential plot
-
a commercial plot
-
a mixed-use plot
and be able to change this later if needed.
-
-
Residential and commercial plots should be expandable at any time, exactly as players need:
-
redraw or extend plot boundaries
-
adapt plots to city growth, neighboring areas, or progression
-
-
Automatic world cleanup when expanding plots:
-
Existing world decoration objects (trees, bushes, small props, etc.) are automatically removed or relocated
-
This instantly creates a clear, usable building area without manual cleanup
-
Cost & Balancing System (key point):
-
The more land a player draws or expands, the higher the cost, for both residential and commercial plots.
-
Costs could scale based on:
-
total surface area
-
location (city center, outskirts, industrial zones, etc.)
-
plot type (residential, commercial, mixed-use)
-
-
This keeps the system fair, strategic, and economically meaningful while preserving creative freedom.
Personal note (why this matters):
I’m honestly frustrated by how small the current buildable areas are.
Often, you have a clear idea or vision in your head—but you can’t execute it, not because of missing creativity, but simply because the plot is too small.
I also believe I’m not the only one feeling this way, and that many players face the same limitation.
What this system would enable:
-
Organic, realistic city layouts instead of grid-locked cities
-
Natural growth of residential and business districts
-
Less frustration while building
-
High creative freedom with proper balancing
-
Long-term motivation through meaningful planning decisions
This feature would significantly enhance the building system and fits very well with InZoi’s open, creative vision.
Looking forward to your thoughts, Kjun.
