Information for each Structure (WORK IN PROGRESS)
By crackid and 1 collaborators
THIS GUIDE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
Do not expect much from this Guide!
I have only started on this guide and about 90% of the information isn't here!


This guide gives information on what each building is caple of.
For example:
House
Houses are harmless when it comes to encounted solitary or in small numbers. However gather enough of them in the same area and you will create a Suburbia.
Provide housing for 4 familys. Housing Quality is increased for each nearby house.

Teamsters Office $3200
Facilitates the transportation of resources around the island. Have these spread out across your island to speed up transportation of all resources.

Construction Office $1280
Provides additional builders and dispatches them to constuction sites. Works a bit like the Teamster Office except speeds up the construction of buildings close to the Construction Office.

Power Plant $9600
Produces Electricity from coal and natural gases. Consumers with a higher budget are serviced preferetially. Some building will require electricity so any type of power plant (There are 3) will get the job done. Make sure to place electrical buildings inside of the power grid or they will not recieve Electricity.

Electric Substance $1600
Increases the range of the power grid. If you can't fit all of your electrical buidlings in the power grid than place one of these down. They will increase the range of the Power grid a bit further out. It Uses 10MW of power and for the cheap price of $1,600

Parking Lot $2000
Increases the number of people who use cars and Job Quality of all workplaces in the area based on effectiveness. So basically this increases the people who use cars (which slows down Resource Transportation) and increases job quality (which will atract wealthier workers)

Nuclear Power Plant $20000
Produces Power from urainium. Comsumers woth a higher budget and serviced preferetially, Unique. Some building will require electricity so any type of power plant (There are 3) will get the job done. Make sure to place electrical buildings inside of the power grid or they will not recieve Electricity.

Metro Station $6000
Allows citizen to quickly travel around the city without using cars. Increases Housing quality of each nearby residences in the area by 10 based on effectiveness. A metro station is an unique structure and can be used to increase housing quality and production speed of jobs.

Geothermal Plant

Some building will require electricity so any type of power plant (There are 3) will get the job done.

Raw Resources
Plantation
Provides various crops.
The crops that you can grow are

Bananas Citizen Food
Cocoa = Chocolate
Coffee = Canned Food
Corn = Citizen Food
Cotton = Fashion Companys
Pineapples = Canned Food or Citizen Food
Sugar = Rum or Chocolate
Tabacco = Cigars
Plantations are used to feed your tropicans or resources for a different variety of needs. These are quite important structures so plot some of these down. If people aren't fed then your Tropicans will start to become hungry and each year a few will die!

Ranch
Produces animal products (milk, meat and wool) depending on each type of ranch, There are FOUR different ranchs
Cow - Meat & Milk
Goat - Milk
Pig - Meat
Llamas - Wool
Each Ranch has an ability to power a Factory. To see which one powers what turn to the Industry Page.

Mine
I've decided to put Mine and Automated mine into the same place because they are pretty much used the same except an Automated mine only needs 2 people to work at it while and Regular mine needs 6.

Mines are used for gathering Resources (ores) to go into your factories or power a Nuclear Plant. Mines need to be set into an avalible stop. These are called Deposits. There are 5 different Ores that can be mined from a Deposit
Coal
Iron
Gold
Uranium
Baxuite
Each of these are used for a different Factory. Go to Industy to find out more!

Wharf
Wharfs are used for catching fish which can be used in a Factory. Wharfs need to be by the Ocean and must have a certain deposit. It is easy to find a deposit because they're all across the beaches somewhere. They are refered as Schools. To find out what factory it is used in. Move to the Industy page.

Logging Camp
Logging camps are used for gathering logs. These can be turned into planks if you own a certain factory. Logging camps must be used in a certian spot. A certain spot is where lots of trees are. Easy and simple. Go to the Industy page to discover more about Logs.
