Guides

Whether you are placing your first General Store or wiring Tier 6 courier hubs across the desert, this guide hub collects practical, spoiler-light walkthroughs for Prideful Sloth's Go-Go Town!. Each guide targets a specific mayor headache — economy bottlenecks, EGO starvation, co-op permissions, or expansion order — with step lists you can follow in one session. Start with the beginner walkthrough if you are new; veterans jumping from Early Access should skim the 1.0 update notes and Creative Mode guide first.

Go-Go Town! colorful town with shops, roads, and tourists

Start here

The beginner walkthrough covers your first in-game week: tourist flow, first Townie, rank star basics, and when to spend your first EGO on tech instead of rushing decorations. It assumes keyboard defaults (F interact, TAB phone) on PC.

If you are returning after Major Update 6, re-read the automation and co-op guides — courier routing and Vice-Mayor permissions changed significantly before 1.0.

  • Beginner walkthrough — first district, economy, quests
  • How to automate — workers, zones, couriers, depots
  • How to increase EGO — rank stars, exports, daily loops

Multiplayer & sandbox

Co-op turns Go-Go Town! into coordinated (or chaotic) team mayor-ing. The co-op guide explains player limits: four online on PC, two split-screen on Switch. Permissions let you gate spending and bulldozing — essential when playing with younger Vice-Mayors.

Creative Mode, added in 1.0, is ideal for testing road layouts and decoration sets before committing Coins in your main save. The Creative Mode guide explains what transfers and what stays sandbox-only.

World progression

Expansions and cleanliness affect tourist happiness and rank stars, which in turn gate EGO tiers. The expansion guide lists land unlock order; the cleanliness guide covers Garbirds, trash piles, and maintenance workers.

Pair these with map hub pages for cave secrets and desert-specific production chains.
