Beginner Mistakes for Tropico 6
Mistakes that I made and how to avoid them
#1- Not Use Multi-Culture: When you place down any farm what i didn't know is that it degrades the soil overtime until your harvesting rate is really low because of the crappy soil. If you click on the work modes and change it to Multi-Culture however, it will lower the base rate by 40% but the soil will not degrade. Also if it is in range of another different crop farm each farm will get a 10% growth rate boost. So a good strategy is to put all of the different crops within close vicinity of each other and switch all of their work modes to Multi-Culture for the best farming harvests.
#2- Do not export things you cant produce: This seems like common sense to most but I had no clue as the interface was a little confusing and apparently i'm not the only one that has messed this up as well. From what I've heard the people that have this issue have never played Tropico before and assume if there is an option to export then you must have the item but that's a no. If you are exporting make sure you are producing what your trying to export and make sure it is in the dock ready to go.
#3- Don't waste your heist buildings: I know you might really want the Taj Mahal in your city for example however other Heists are much more worth it and you can only steal one building per era you are in so you must not waste it on nearly useless buildings such as the Castle that adds defensive building health instead of other use full buildings such as the Islamic Temple thing (Forgot the Name) that auto gives all your children a High-School Education.
#4- Make sure to upgrade Teamaster and Construction office during world war: I was silly enough to not notice this until like my 12th playthrough. During the World War section of the game you can upgrade both of these buildings to add multiple new jobs and it will speed up your construction and logistics teams.
#5- Build houses near job sights: Your loyal slav... I mean citizens don't want to walk half way across your empire to go home and would rather live in a shack right next to where they are working. So provide bunkhouses near where citizens are building shacks to avoid the homelessness level.
Please comment leaving ideas of more tips to add! It'll be added with your name next to it and trust me we need more because I'm quite new myself! Thanks for reading and If I got to help 1 confused person this was worth it. :)
