How to unlock the Propelled achievement in Townscaper - Definitive Guide

For this Achievement I highly recommend going into the pause menu and enabling the "grid" option and from there you need to find a perfect circle shape in the grid and the best way to find one is to create a new world and zoom out using cn_LT and look around until you find the shape.

Once you find a perfect circle in the grid you want to build a 2-block high circle with a blank space in the middle.

Then delete the bottom row of buildings and it should leave the upper-level floating with propellers if done correctly.

Here's a link to an image so you can get an idea of what you need to build.

I also show this Achievement in my Walkthrough starting at 3:16 minutes into the video.

I finally found a circle, it was much bigger than yours, but it did work. I think the key is when you begin to delete blocks on the lower level, if you start seeing stilts it won't work. Mine had no stilts once the bottom was deleted but no propellers either. I had to add one more house on a 3rd layer to force the propellers to show.

My shape was a hexagon, with a 6 pointed star in the middle. Worked the same

There's a video only solution here that has a tip on finding the "circle" to build on. So, start a new map and scroll right. You should find something circle like. Build around it, 2 high, leaving a nice star shape in the centre, then remove the base.

After getting frustrated scrolling around looking for the circle, I found one straight away trying this scroll right method. Good luck!

If you get stilts it's not the right place. The outside edges need to be fairly smooth and uniformly angled, if it looks more like a star than a circle that's when you get stilts. You can also do it with bigger circles as long as you build a few towers on the corners to get the propellers to appear.

Can confirm, after 20 minutes of frustrated searching, starting a new game and scrolling right had great success within less than a minute.

Restarted 4 times and was able to find one by scrolling left. Has to be almost perfectly smooth.

I scrolled to the right as Stu did, found it within about 30 seconds. It's very obvious when you see the circle shape, I'd tried numerous that were a bit circular, but it is blatant when you see it.

It just has to be close to a circle and can be larger than 1 block gap in the middle.

I had a 2x2 square in the middle of mine but the outside was circular so it worked.

So at least you have more options on where to build it kind of.

NB: There's no 'perfect circle' on the grid. Mine was quite a big hexagon. You'll know if the construction isn't going to work if the deleted bottom buildings are replaced by stilts - if they're floating carry on, as the propellers as added at the end.

Mine looked like a football stadium so not a circle although first time I removed the lower level no propellers appeared so had to place one block back then delete it which worked. If stilts appear when removing the lower level then it won’t work.

Thank you. My propellers also did not appear when I removed the base. I had to leave the map and return after I got several other achievements. As long as you don't see stilts when removing the base it should work.

Found a huge circle with a 2x1 core. I built out around the edge of the circle and work just fine. Basically looked like a donut with a large core cut out the middle.

This will work on PC, but I don't know if xbox has the same options. Use the "Load from Clipboard" option and paste this city. Note, I COULD NOT find a map with a circle like some of the other solutions suggest so my city is a funky shape.

If this doesn't work, comment and I'll delete it. Thanks!

Here's the code:

On Xbox? There's no option to 'load from clipboard' in the menu, just Open (load). I copied the code using the Edge browser, but the Xbox game has no way to use it.

This will be easiest on a map with no other blocks. You can start a new world from the pause menu. The first thing you want to do is pause, and in the menu select "grid". This will place a grid across the map.

Next you want to hold cn_LT to zoom out as far as possible. You are looking for a perfect star shape in the grid, took me about 5-10 minutes to find my first one. You will know its the right shape when you build around it will be a pretty much perfect circle.

You want to build 2 buildings high in a circle shape around the star with nothing in the middle. Then delete the bottom row of buildings.

You will know you did it right when the 2nd row is on propellers instead of stilts like normal. As far as I'm aware it NEEDS to be built around the star/circle formation.

ok i have figured out how to scroll, on PC you have to right click and drag the mouse.
that being said, im still struggling with this, i find a start shape, i build on all parts of the star, and the house is still on stilts. my star kinda likes like the picture from the other solution, but not quite. this should be easy, im sure im missing something simple here.

One thing that helped me HUGELY is the fact that before you start building you can just keep scrolling around the map after pushing start and putting the Grid ON. I didn't realize I could go beyond the current grid. It goes on forever. Just keep looking till you find basically a perfect circle.

You can move all around the map, just keep going past the border, not sure if it’s endless or repeats. But you can keep searching

Does anyone else on Xbox not get scrolling?? I get to the edge of a very small starter map and it has an arrow with a dpad kinda pic but does not scroll… the only thing that makes the grid “grow” is placing a block….

And then I cannot find a circle what so ever- I found lots of stars but building around them is putting corners on, therefore stilts when the base is removed :/

Burke, that's probably because you've put a block down and it's being kept in view. If you have a clear map you can scroll forever. That's why people are saying start with a new map, so you can scroll around till you find a small circular region.

The circle has to be damn near perfect.
...It doesn't, my construction was hexagonal, it had 6 corners.

Find a circle. Build a bottom layer pressing A, then a top one, and then destroy the bottom layer using B.

If you're having trouble finding a circle, build a tower so that your screen zooms out automatically then place blocks on the edge of the visible map - this will allow you to see much more of the map than you could slowly scrolling at the base zoom level.

My city is also "football stadium" shaped like Sideshow Bob. I couldn't find any circles, as long as you can make an outer shape with no corners it might work:
https://imgur.com/7pg40hq

originally I had the entire 3-space middle with a hole, and my oval donut building was floating but no propellers. I added blocks to fill in two of the spaces, leaving the middle empty, it turned in to a platform, but I deleted the lower blocks and even though it's not a building the propellers appeared.

Search the grid until you find a pattern that is round. It may take some searching as the pattern isn’t very obvious or prevalent. Look for a pattern similar to the image below (highlighted in red).
 

First, build a circle of blocks as a base. The ideal circle will only be 12 blocks; any larger and you risk this not working. Also, it needs to be a circle, not an oval, square or rectangle. Next, place a second layer of buildings on top of the first layer. Finally, remove the entire base, leaving only the layer of buildings. If done correctly, propellers will automatically appear to hover your town above the water.
