Honestly, one of the issues I found with running out of money was mainly because immigration was forcing rapid expansion. Once I got down the immigration office and set it to 'Tropico First', it slowed down to a manageable chunk without having to rapidly continue buying to keep up. Let's your exports bank up a bit. Toggle it as you need be when you want immigration 👍
@@ignacio9813 it combos well with the new dlc opening high end trade routes. Get a pandemic going for the 400% mask bonus and never cure it while looping trade routes using the new trading post building
When play Tropico i preffer just build my economy almost without export, focus on internal consumption and production, it really work well + offices and almost half population is rich or something as this as result.
Thank for this video, I was struggling to get the island running when I was putting all kind of industries. Much easier and takes less time to get things on its feet now
I think i remember of one of your video's (carrebean sky). If you can setup the reclaimer with industrial buildings with pollution it will make you alot of money aswell. So thats what i mostly do. Save up, build the reclaimer and the industry and then you have alot of money
Any of you stuck on the chocolate factory campaign mission? been on it for ages and keep going broke. Tried to make tobacco plantations but then the soil degraded in the area so didn’t make much money then. The area that there placed is to small for other plantations so can’t get the bonus to stop soil degradation help.
No.... you need to focus on cocoa plantations and maybe place a different type of crop nearby.... then use the "Multiculture" workmode on the plantations to prevent the soil from degrading. Here is my speedrun video of the Chocolate Factory mission th-cam.com/video/RBsQbjevGfg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X032YJjGPkZd0Pki
@nichmon3221 for sure citizens will buy Rum at the Grocery or Mall.... not sure on Cigars if island citizens buy them. You will get profit if you export these items if you don't have a trade contract, it will just be exported at the base price per 1k. You can get more than the base price if you sign a trade contract.
I have my review videos of some of the DLC if you search on my channel.... videos should look like this one th-cam.com/video/L60cGf0nJbQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1zcMul_PeSS9bE_4
My problem is not money.......Its expansion, and then citizens getting pissed off and not being able to swing them back no matter what kind of edicts, or sorcery spells I use.
I would check which values they are low on happiness... plus having too much population (which creates too much unemployment) can drag down your island happiness
You should always make enough housing + chappel/church and tavern food place where you are expanding, keeps happines high, the people visit 2 places and home between work, so you need to provide that for them, fixed this problem with me. Also try to build buildings your tropicans can afford to live in, i did this mistake building mostly apartments, which was too expensive for my poor tropicans.
This just might be my opinion, but if you are negative 500k, you might not be doing something right. You might want to watch this video and my other videos lol :)
You are right that tourism will make money (but can be a hinderance if you are attacked too much), also Edicts are can make money too but wanted to focus on the stuff internal to the island to making money for this video.

With the Going Viral DLC, Mask production is insane. You can easily get 400k trade deals as early as WW era.
I was going on -40 K until I found the mask production. It’s insane right ?

Glad it helped!
actually good video
for such a dead game in terms of community like tropico its nice to knw someone still making some videos about it
Crocodiles require fish like hides needed for tannery. It is also a pasthrough building.

Do the local citizens buy rum and cigars? Or do said items only bring in profit if I sign a trade contract?
@nichmon3221 for sure citizens will buy Rum at the Grocery or Mall.... not sure on Cigars if island citizens buy them.

@@hogziller, thank you very much for the information.
Do you have a video that compares all the DLC? Which ones to get and skip these days.

You are the god at this game - welp us humans 😂😂
drone taxi still buggy??
I really never used the drone taxi except for the one scenario that requires you to build it.

Gotta preplan for the rise of carribean happiness

Also check overlays food quality, faith quality and medical quality, and make sure everything is greenish, if they are red then they get unhappy.
I'm -500k in the Cold War Era lol
This just might be my opinion, but if you are negative 500k, you might not be doing something right. You might want to watch this video and my other videos lol :)
@ I wasn’t equipped for the era in the Cold War era it was -250k lol
I modded it and back in track lol
Tourism ?
You are right that tourism will make money (but can be a hinderance if you are attacked too much), also Edicts are can make money too but wanted to focus on the stuff internal to the island to making money for this video.
