Forestberg is a small and cozy town started in April 2012 by Simmuel, not far from Newlands and Skyline. It is located between lovely forested mountains, from which the name originated, and sandy areas, spotted with lakes. The town is well-known for its old-school, pre-1.7.2 vibe.
The town
The town is divided in 5 districts, each with its own distinct purpose and landmarks.
Centrum
Centrum is the center of the town. It is also the most diverse district - it hosts many of the oldest buildings, from all the way back to 2012, as well as the tallest, modern towers.
Landmarks in Centrum include:
- Forestberg Central Station
- SimmConnect HQ
- Nexus pad
- Massive rainbow flag, celebrating the town's diversity and inclusion
- Industrial Park with a public mine, automatic melon farm, cacti farm, and automatic tree harvester, supporting Oak, Spruce, Birch and Jungle wood
- Ellen124's AFK Box, created by jonathanpanda in strict center of Forestberg
- Ellen124's Library
- Little Town Market
- Z Building, with free hostel for all visitors
- Terrace bar
Lakeside
Lakeside is located to the west from Centrum. It was a result of the mayor's efforts to provide more parks and greenery to the town as part of his 10 Years of Forestberg initiative.
Landmarks in Lakeside include:
- Dawn Park
- Town Beach
- Decennium Park
- Boat pier for Simmuel route
Dune District
To the south from Centrum lies Dune District, built on the sandy flats by the Bay of Forestberg. It is a true residential district for the common inhabitants of Forestberg.
Landmarks in Dune District include:
- Forestberg Bridge
- Shrine to
Krenath - Various houses
Forestberg East
Forestberg East is a up-and-coming district in the east of the town. It lies, covered in snow, at the foot of the mountain from which the town's name originates.
Landmarks in Forestberg East include:
- Boat pier for Simmuel route
- Various houses
Fortree
Fortree is a district in the far north-west of Forestberg, which originated from and idea from one of the Pokemon games - to build an entire district of tree houses. However, the project never gained traction, with mediocre skills of Simmuel in building tree houses, and lacking interest of other players to build in the district.
Forestberg Metro
Despite being a relatively small town, Forestberg has its own fully-fledged metro. Totalling 10 stations and two metro lines, it spans across the entire town. The construction of the metro has been ongoing from the early stages of existence of Forestberg, and took over nine years to complete all planned stations. The metro has been finally completed in March 2022, to commemorate 10th anniversary of Forestberg. A new expansion is planned by SimmConnect to further improve communication within the town, including one new metro line - stay tuned!
Fortree Line: Fortree - Lakeside - Centrum - Nether Portal - Industrial Park - Forestberg East
Center Line: Forestberg Central - Centrum - Dune District - Suburbs - Forestar Inn (Nexus SE2)
