hey there, I'm enjoying the series.

 

I also like that you seem pretty well up to date on stuff (like the level up your industries video).

 

I just noticed something about the last episode though;

you said commercial zones started complaining about 'not enough goods' after you added the forestry industry. I believe this is not the cause actually.

 

Forestry industry makes both raw and processed products, which can in turn be converted by generic industry into goods that can be sold by the commercial sectors. So basically, your entire forestry industry is working 100% for exports right now since you got rid of your generic industry a while ago.

 

So I think the 'not enough goods' from your commercial districts stems from you getting rid of your generic industries (mind you, offices do not produce any goods), and right now they probably ran out of their stock, and are having trouble importing enough goods from off the map. (you might want to place a cargo train station close to your main commercial sector if you're not bringing back generic industries.

 

Here's a little chart for reference;

 

 

Good job on the series otherwise

 

ow, a short ps; about the traffic issues you were having in the previous episode; it's not the interchange that's at fault, it's that really short off-ramp you have right after it, connecting to the avenue with a traffic light. It doesn't give a lot of buffer room, so as soon as traffic gets a bit heavier, you'll have jams backing up right into the interchange.

Always look for the cause of the problem (the off-ramp) instead of the effect (back ups all over your interchange).

Well you have some good points, but I have not had any industry since episode 4 I believe, and I have had no issues with 'not enough goods'.  It honestly only happened once I added back any actual industry "yellow" zones. 

 

So there is something that the code is recognizing that you have industry now ... so where are my goods .. they should be produced locally.  It did resolve itself by the end of the episode it seems though and they are getting goods from outside the city. 

 

I wish there was more data about imports/exports.

 

 

I am glad you are enjoying the series though! And that is a good flow chart!

Shouldn't this be in the City Journals subforum rather than this?

This should really go into the city journey thread.
