If you can't produce the raw material, or can't produce it quickly enough, you might be able to sign an import trade agreement for the raw material at a reasonable price. Remember that there can be a startup lag: building a sugar plantation and a rum distillery at the same time will leave the distillery producing NOTHING for a year or more, because crops take time to grow. If there's no input, then find the building that supplies it (sugar plantation for a rum distillery) and make sure that it is running properly.

If it IS at/near full employment, then check the input materials/output materials and the "how much this building has produced" info. And don't forget that some buildings have multi-stage inputs: a furniture factory needs lumber from a sawmill that needs wood from a logger. Is it at/near full employment? If not, there's a few things to do: you can force immigration one job at a time by clicking on the empty job icon (which gets expensive) or if it's a job that requires education (factory jobs all require high-school, for example) make sure you have that built first, if it's something like logging sheds which don't require education and they still don't have employment, then you've got a population shortage, and need an immigration building with the open doors policy, or in the new game, to have your pirates go out and "rescue" people. Havent tried with lowering salaries, mainly because winning an election without cheating is another of the things I impose myself to do, but as there is an efficience penalty.Ĭlick to expand.Well, to start with, click on a production building. Every single industry ends up costing me more money to set up than I get from it. I have kind of an inkling that I'm not moving stuff fast enough (sometimes building a second dock "helps"), but no matter what I do it doesnt seems to be possible to break even. I have unemployed people, I have raw materials, I buy a factory to make higher value stuff, it sells like hotcakes I still end up in debt. it is really annoying and I cant see what it is that I'm doing wrong. Every attempt to expand my production base and export more and more high value items ends up in an spiral of debt impotence, in which I see my economy go to -50000 or -60000, climb back to -5000, back to -50000. what the hell is wrong with the economy? I just cant seem to get a break. But I really like the city building in the Caribbean. As Montegris commented to me the other day, as somebody born in Venezuela and obssesed with the situation there, is kinda weird I play this series, and yes, sometime it either cuts to close to the bone or manages to insult.
