Yeah the shack situation bugs me. They keep popping up beside my shiny new malls. Also, has anyone ever lost to a rebellion?
Yep, early in the game it's possible. Rebels can often outgun crappy soldiers and you are strapped for cash to buy a high school. Late in the game, it's almost impossible. The things that can derail the game are usually timed objectives. |

I generally keep my populace consolidated to one area. When it comes to mines, I just build the mine and let it be. The miners can drive there, no garage needed.
Right, but back is an issue. |

Miners can drive back too. Or they should.

No garage means people walk. There needs to be a garage near where people are leaving from. AFAIK.

If I understand it correctly a built-in garage at a building means teamster collecting resources can use a car to leave. At other buildings (farms, for example) the teamster carries the goods on foot, with a wheelbarrow. Until he finds a garage or the destination, whatever is closer.
The built-in garages are only usable for work related use though. So if a miner gets hungry or wants to sleep, he will walk back on foot if there is no garage building close.
tbe;dr:* It is best to build garages both near housing/entertaining facilities as well as industries/production buildings.

Oh, anyone has an idea on how to make the game 'harder'?
I am not a big fan of the campaign, rather like to play sandbox mode and get immersed in my role as dictator from 1950 to 2000. Problem is, once one is over the big hurdle at the start and money come rolling in it's pretty a walk in the park. :/

There are sliders you can adjust at game start to ramp up the difficulty. Increased rebellion, etc. Has anyone had a stable nation with tourism as your only income?

I know those sliders of course. Maxed them. Re: Tourism. I haven't. Usually its just easier to go industry. |

Yes, but you still have to farm. |

Necro!
I've been poking at this a bit. I like how it feels but am having trouble macromanaging. For example, suppose I have a bunch of sugar farms scattered all over the map and a bunch of distilleries that use the sugar. Is there any way that I can globally check to see if my farms are keeping up with my distilleries and then adjust my workforce accordingly? The only way I can figure out to manage that stuff is to click around the individual physical locations.

I agree this game needs more "export to Excel" or something.

There's no way to tell that I am aware of, but a general rule of thumb is you'll want as much support close to the place as possible. The further people have to travel for their needs (housing, food, school, etc.) the less they spend doing profitable things.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

That was pretty much my thought, yeah. I really like all the complexity that comes out of the interconnected systems but feel like there need to be better tools to manage it. Just making sure I wasn't stupidly missing something. |

No, you just have to watch their storage areas, and then your export levels.

I'm pretty sure that's a design decision. All of the Tropico games have been like that, and to me, it makes the game feel unique. You're running a banana republic after all. The economics should be slapdash and feel a little out of control. Spreadsheets and more numbers would add too much seriousness to the game.

Absolutely read that as "one twenty-sider". Obviously Gets is the one in the wrong here.
