I was wondering the distance of 100 blocks from the town hall is that in any direction or is that 100 with the townhall being the center?

100 blocks from the townhall to everywhere.

Thank you. So we are looking at a roughly 200 x 200 area that we can build by default.

What happens outside that area?

I think the chest outside that area are not part of the town and not used by the people.

Will increasing that value in the properties file have detrimental effect on the game's performance? If so, how bad a hit can I expect?

I think the performance will go down, because the game has to load all the citizens. But I think they are not critical, because not all chunks will be loaded so they freeze and the performance go up a bit.

Its more the number of citizens/workers more than the distance. That being said, path finding for long distances is problematic still. We are working on it.

So, if I wanted to increase the maximum size of my town, would it be enogh to increase that value in the configuration file? I noticed that there several more settings, like wandering range for citizens; do I have to increase those too?

Yes. The wandering range for settlers determines how far out they'll go to look for a work chest, for example.

So if you have a 200 range from your town hall and want there a let's say builder you have to build the citizen chest half way. But the citizens spawn at the town hall. So you should increase the walking range a least to 100 EDIT: And the range for the jobs maybe too if you have a big city.
