Not Enough Freight

[Fande 0]

Hi team,

 

Need your help, I placed commercial lot but always closed as mentioned "not enough freight", how do I overcome this situation?

Freight comes from industry. Low and medium density provide the best amount of freight per area. If your commercial zone has a lot of shoppers or tourists, it can get by without freight, unless it is an OmegaCo franchise, in which case it goes abandoned.

SO u meen that I need to increase the total of industry so that the commercial wont go broke?

If you have a lot of space, I would recommend narrow dirt road blocks of industry (with back-to-back industry). If you have no unsatisfied shoppers but have unsold goods, I would recommend you get rid of some of your commercial zones.

Ok, is it ok if I open another region only for industrial so that it will be less pollution? as it is very annoyed with all the business building closed and claim "not enough freight".... T_T

First of all you need to make sure you have a trade depot which comes with a freight lot.   On the Trade Depot you are limited to 4 lots and the Trade port the limit is 6.   If you have any resources such as Ore, Oil,  Plastic, Alloy, and Metal you will need lots to hold the processed goods .  With the smaller depot create lots for Alloy and Metal and Plastic if you are able.   Add all 4 trucks and they will move the goods for you  between places.   You will get plastic, Alloy, and metal if you create a recycling plant and add the additional lines.   Be sure and have a few trucks for each so that they can transport the goods.     And in the both ports go to the sub menu and either make each lot local or export.  And if you need a resource create a lot and make that item import.  But beware that will cost you to import and profit you when you export.. Check your budget menu and see where your bank is going.  And if your cash is shown in RED you are losing cash which can bankrupt a city quickly.  Just build moderately and you will be fine...
