If they cannot sell enough goods or workers the properties will eventually close down.
Commercial - Shops, companies and enterprises work with nearby factories to sell goods to residents. Residential - Where your "Cims," or residents, live. I tried zoning comercial to reduce industry demand but there's simply no commercial demand what so ever or residential. The industry demand was low for a while but it picked up again pretty fast and my yellow industry was saying "Not enough workers" but the demand for industry was still going up. Ok so, I reduced the amount of offices I had and also reduced the amount of IT cluster I had. People moved in and you didn't have enough jobs. Your balance was working fine then you laid down some service (probably mass transit, put in metro or buses I bet) and a bunch of residential upgraded. You probably recently had a spurt of heavy residential upgrade. I'll come back and let you know if I have problems etcĪs for the cause of your long high demand streak. If the new building doesn't produce enough jobs the demand comes right back. Fresh zoning reserves a bit of demand while the building goes up but its a temporary hold. Originally posted by Promethian:Industrial demand is tied to unemployment, not goods produced. It will also bring the industry demand down.Īs for the cause of your long high demand streak. If you are making too many goods then zone some commercial. If you are clever you should have had the thought while reading this "wait, does that mean non-industrial jobs also reduce industry demand?" The answer is yes. IT cluster does produce goods and there is some kind of limit on how much they can export so don't make too much of it. They are just high skill jobs you can use to expand.
If the new building doesn't produce enough jobs the demand comes right back.Īlso regular offices do not produce goods. Industrial demand is tied to unemployment, not goods produced. If you mix them up, freight becomes an issue and usually industry abandons as office IT get priority on freight. which can cause lack of workers.īut ignore the demand bars or you get stuck in a vicious loop of building freight. Unemployment wants abound 5%, but try for 10% to keep from dropping below 5%. I recommend ignoring the demand bars completely, and use unemployment to provide jobs/workers. and you can build commerce/ and Office IT only. If you use office IT, then you don't need industry at all.
Then you can ignore office IT completely. If you want to add commerce, then add office IT for freight and jobs.Ĭommerce will always be high. If you need jobs and freight, then build IT offices.
If you only needs jobs only, then build vanilla offices.
Industry/commerce demand is for mostly jobs only. You can build residential/offices only if you want. First thing is know there is no need for commerce/industry in this game. You seem to be looking at this all wrong.
