RCI demands wonky

Why the ticker message? I will try looking at population graph. PAK is heavily modded.

 

 

 

I think I found the problem.... is there no way to fix it? reduce sim health?

[VetinarisClerk 271]

Hmmm. Your workforce is over 50% and life expectancy is under 90, which is is fine. Industry complains of taxes - what is the indistrial tax rate? Are the clean air and industrial waste tax ordinances on? Are electronics and biotech tax incentives off?

Edit:

Do you have any seaports or rail connections to boost industrilal demand?

[zzc 10]

 

seaport end to end, which cut off one neighbor, I thought having a sea would create an ocean neighbor.

 

Very generous tax rate

 

All those ordinances are on.

 

 

1 rail connection, done very late. Road connections on each tile...

 

I changed the pak file so that things that affect industry land value do so negatively.

Hah, we're having the same issue then. My industrial tax is 0, subsidized by 4% commercial tax. Comercial has steady modest demand but industrial demand still ocassionaly plumets. I susppect two things:

1 - as population grows, the balance of jobs switches from 80% industry to 80% commerce. If demand for comerce can compensate for the loss of industry we should be fine.

2 - education is not high enough to support clean industry, and taxes punish dirty industry, so nothing can survive.

[zzc 10]

Surely education from 120 will call in clean industry??

Since is roughly the same topic I thought to put this here;

Where are the cap numbers found? Its not in PAK thats for sure....

I found some articles about this:

The great depression

Dealing with the great depression

Preventing depressions

Avoiding depressions

There was one more article which listed the amount and kind of demand each zone/building generated.

The article mentioned a cycle of booms and busts hard-coded into the game, lasting 150 years. Each cycle had 2 big downturns(-90%!!!) and half a dozen minor ones (-20%), with a few minor booms(+10%).

This would happen no matter what, but you could play with workforce ratio, tax, service budgets and ordinances for damage control.

I can't find it now to check if the timing matches. 

@catty-cb, do you remember the title? 

Edit: Found it!

[VetinarisClerk 271]

Well its not that either. Your downturn has been going on for 20 years, these only last two. I really don't know what the deal is. 😐

The funny thing is i dont think its a depression but nevermind, theres still money incoming.

Is there a way to dig into the dll files?

No idea. I have not been moding. The Omnibus has a ton of info but you gotta trawl it. 😑

Good luck!

[zzc 10]

Nope nothing on dll reading. Guess I'll just tough it out.

That's why I did an index or site map page to make it easier to find things in it

[zzc 10]

It would be interesting to know where/how those numbers in https://community.simtropolis.com/omnibus/other-games/the-economy-r452/

come about.

[zzc 10]

 

No demand for any zone lol. Look at that empty industry block.

[VetinarisClerk 271]

Hmm

I have docks+industry (High, mid and low density) on 3 sides of the map, for a city half the size. What would happen if you zoned more docks? 😕

[zzc 10]

The docks are down the one side that has water. Maybe a dry docks might work...

Nope cant build docks away from water. Airport doesnt work either...

I'll just leave the save file so that everyone can have a look on their machine.
