Largest City with Agricultural Demand?

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Excuse me if this topic exists already, but just today, a city that have been working on since June 2011 reached 58,000 people and at that moment the agricultural demand fell to zero. I found this very unusual in that other cities of mine have had no agricultural demand at only 22-25k people, and this one lasted longer. Anyone have any cities that have had agricultural demand beyond 50k people?

Keep in mind that demand is region wide.  If you have one or two large cities with a large population in a region, that could severely limit agriculture demand for other cities in the region.

 

If you install SPAM by Pegasus, the agriculture demand never goes away.

*This is true if the SPAM is in your bit of stuff that loads last.  In vanilla, I-R demand goes away when you hit about 30k demand satisfied in any one other RCI category, and SPAM stops this by how it tweaks the demand.  There is some custom content out there that will fiddle with these settings though, so make sure the SPAM loads after any other farms or mods that touch demand.

You don't need a poll for this. it's just well known and documented already. Agricultural demand is capped at 30,000 population. As soon as you reach this pop level it will be flattened. If the city's EQ is high it may be flattened even earlier. And I don't think africultural demand is extrapolated. Several mods raise the cap, eg the Census Repository Vault raises the cap by another 30,000 pop.

If you make use of SimGoober's ditch set before your I-Ag demand runs out, you can extend it by quite a bit.

 

I didn't know that trick about loading SPAM with the last loading group.  Might give it a try.
