Finding Cog Types by Street

Many TT tasks require finding and defeating a specific type of cog - bossbot, lawbot, cashbot or sellbot. Eventually, after defeating enough of a type of cog, the Cog Gallery can become a cog radar and show how many of each type and kind of cog are present on the street. Defeat even more cogs and that same cog radar will show how many buildings are present.

However, the cog radar only works on the street you are on, so sometimes you have to go to each street at a playground to find the type you seek. Toontown actually has some rules on what types of cogs you will be able to find on each street (with the exception of a cog invasion - in which you will find the same kind of cog on every street and inside every building*). The rules about what types of cogs are on each street are general guidelines - that is, at any given moment, the percentages vary widely. I think this has to do with cog invasions displacing the normal resident cogs, but also - other toons may have hunted specific types or kinds of cogs to temporary extinction. If this is the case, you can change districts and search the same street.

Below is a chart summarizing the rough percentages of cog types by street. Some streets will have predominantly one type of cog (up to 90%), and some streets will not have any of a specific type - barring a cog invasion. Still, it is a useful chart that I've consulted myself numerous times and should be useful to other toons.

I am currently considering compiling a more detailed chart of where to find specific kinds of cogs - e.g. Name Droppers - but I have to do some research to figure out the feasibility and accuracy of such a chart.
