Probably it has something to do with the jobs of their spouses, either way it is extremely annoying.Īdd in the fact that the statistics for homeless/jobless etc. The other prefers a shack, with a vacant Mansion household within the same distance. I also observed this multiple times - two people work in the same building, both are rich, but only one of them lives in the Mansion right next to his workplace. Housing choice is definitely one of the core issues in T6.

I have however used teleferic stations from time to time as a kind of light rail transit across the city.

I'd love to use metros more, but then I discovered that metros apparently even connect across water and thus count towards the diminishing returns from building more (I had thought it was 1-3 per physical island, when it was actually all islands on the map). Another concession is made if tourists are clearly traveling the entire island just to reach far off world wonders from their hotel rooms (if I don't decide to centralize said wonders right next to them, that is). The start point is placed roughly equal distance to as many pockets as possible, and terminates at the nearest center's grocery store. If I do have bus stations they're largely to connect small pockets of workers' residential areas (usually 2-3 apartments/tenements) where space is limited to bigger centers.

A section of every island is reserved as a conventillo district (particularly near schools and colleges) to centralize the broke and retired. Even with apartments right in the middle of industrial zones housing quality is still good and healthcare happiness is still in the high 80s. Housing is placed five tiles away from roads if possible to allow industrial and service structures space to develop between them as needed. I used to care about cleanly separating housing, entertainment, and industry, but now I much prefer multiple mixed population centers (each anchored by the presence of a grocery store at their epicenter) spread widely throughout a large island. A single bus garage should be in the housing district for 2 reasons. All bus station starts in the housing district, and end at somewhere else. Originally posted by Jewbacca:At the beginning of world war use bus garages to move the population between the districts. In theory you can get rid of them by building bus only, and make them free ride, and having bunkhouses in stack higher mode. In my games only the broken are in shacks, and those are a very small portion. However if they can reach everything by car, or bus, then they fill up the houses. Vacant homes are worthless, if people takes forever to reach anything from it. From that point just place a garage into the center of each district. Once free wheels researched use it, and demolish all bus garage. Keep placeholder for the garage until the free wheels edict researched. This one brings the bus to the bus garage district.Ģ.

You can use the workplace happiness with edicts+max budget, and revolutionary tasks to get into world war.Īt the beginning of world war use bus garages to move the population between the districts. Use district style building, but don't care much. I'm currently testing with the bus garage style, but i found the free wheels edict+garages work perfectly.īefore world war just ignore housing. You need lots of houses, and infrastructure. What's kind of retared tho is when i click on them it says 'Filthy Rich' and then also 'Going to Shack'. It's a pretty poor design since when you do end up trying to provide the free housing for the retired and the students it will end up being taken by rich people who are lazy and happen to work nearby They leave their job when tired, they will only walk/move a certain distance before they are so tired they give up and live in a shackĪlso there's no welfare for old people or students, so if you don't provide them with free housing they have nowhere to live (previous tropicos let you give social security to cover this) You can click on the people living in shacks and see their current wealth, you'll notice they need to work a while and save up for them to receive the wealth status a job providesĪlso make sure they have housing near where they work.
