Hmm, how? All I see is stilts (in the browser version, at least, which I imagine should be the same as the Steam version).

An arc through the middle can cause no stilts or propellers!

(and, for posterity's sake, the shape with propellers is a donut).

you can even stack them! https://oskarstalberg.com/Townscaper/#MzJODmugKVfngggBBBC_TM...

Huh. Adding one sea level block to the outside of that doughnut leads to all the propellers disappearing but no stilts. Resulting structure does not look very likely. :)

Ahaha jeez, he really did think of everything.

It only appears in certain rare configurations. You need a section of town with no exterior corners.

Ahh I see, thank you.
