Raise the city level by capturing new chunks

[Chypik]

In the new update, there is a feature where you can raise the city level by joining new territories to the city.
However, while setting up this function, I encountered a problem with displaying the number of plots required for the city level to increase.
If anyone has used this feature, please share a setting so that information is displayed when expanding a city with only a mayor (city size: 3/4). When capturing 4 sectors, the city level is raised to the next level, and the information is displayed (city size: 4/6).
I've tried various options, and the only working way to increase the city level is to set (town_block_ratio: '-1'), but in this case, (city size: 3/∞) will be displayed, and the player won't know how many sectors need to be captured to advance the city to the next level.
I contacted tech support but didn't receive a clear explanation other than quotes from the configuration file.
I suspect it's impossible to configure the display of the required number of city sizes for transitions between levels, since only setting (-1) causes the transition to occur.

As I have explained a number of times, when using town_level_is_determined_by_townblock_count_instead_of_resident_count you cannot have the townBlockLimit from the town_level be the determining factor in how many townblocks a town can claim. It will always either be the infinite amount given by setting town_block_ratio to -1, or the number greater than 0 set in town_block_ratio multiplied by the number of residents in the town.

When reading your town_levels with town_level_is_determined_by_townblock_count_instead_of_resident_count set to true, the numResidents field is the number of townblocks the town has claimed.

Yes, when that is set to 0, town_level_is_determined_by_townblock_count_instead_of_resident_count is not used.

The question remains unchanged: how to display the required number of city plots to advance to the next level? And how to implement the transition between city levels, taking into account the number of plots. In the unlimited version, everything works and the transition occurs, but the player doesn't know how much land needs to be captured between levels.

When town_level_is_determined_by_townblock_count_instead_of_resident_count: true and town_block_ratio: 0 the town level is not advanced by claiming land. It is advanced by the number of residents that belong to the town.

The amount of townblocks/residents needed to advance to the next level is always hidden from the players. This isn't for any specific reason, it just isn't conveyed to them.
