Docks are subject to the same gridlock as traffic, and indeed they can cause traffic if placed in one central location. Now that we have the basics down, let's talk dock placement, It can be tempting to place all your docks right where you start off, especially in the beginning when the revolutionaries beg your for 4 docks and you haven't explored most of the island. or worse yet, in the modern era they will all get jobs at offices and better places, leaving you with no parking attendants. Remember that you will need labor for each parking lot, so don't overdo it or you will find your farmers becomming parking lot attendants in droves. Make a parking lot for every major teamsters office and place those teamster offices right smack dap where your industry sectors are and one at every dock right by the parking lot. If the parking lots are facing little side roads, then the people need to use an intersection and that means traffic. Make a parking lot about every 4 blocks and facing those long parallel roads I mentioned before. Next, Parking lots! These are very important as you need to get your people to and rom work quickly and your teamsters need to park at good junctures.
That way busy teamsters can go around them if they need to get to a better resource. When building plantations, try coupling them, that is building two side by side directly together with both faces on the same road, then build a road around them directly on the edge. With plantations this can be a hassle, as they are huge and cumbersom. Try to keep your main road structure with as long roads as possible with intersections every 3-4 buildings. Too many blocks mean too many intersections, and not enough blocks mean your teamsters and people are travelling to far in order to take a good exit.
When laying down buildings, it is easy to make tons of instersections when we try to scrape up every little square inch of valuable living space, but be wary of how you plan those blocks. Successful road placement brings back memories of Sim City's classic traffic jams which usually occur at INTERSECTIONS. In the beginning, roads placement doesnt matter so much as there simply aren't enough people to cause much of a jam up. This begins with how you lay down your roads, as traffice jams can quickly bog them down as your population rises. Hopefully this will help those frustrated with the game's fickle economy and lazy teamster problems.įirst, the issue of the teamsters not delivering goods can largely be due to infrstructure placement. I was fretting about how badly my economy was tanking by the modern era, ripping out my hair until I started Experimenting a bit with how I was running things.
