I can't keep up with my industrial demand, my residental city has a pop of 100,000 and my commercial city of 21,000. So if you have anyway that would help then please post here thanks
I'd need some more information from you first... ::)
1. Are you running CAM?
2. Which industry (ID, IM or IHT)?
3. What is your residential city's EQ?
im not running cam, the eq is kind of low for right now (it used to be higher) and its the I-D
As long as your EQ stays below 50, and you have mostly R$ people living in your region, there will be a huge demand for ID.
The drive for ID in that case is as large as 112%.
That means every working person is requesting 1.12 ID jobs... ::)
If your HQ is low as well, then the workforce is 40% of your population.
Thus, 40,000 low-wealth workers demanding 44,800 ID jobs.
In addition to that they also want CS$ jobs (37% or 14,800) and farms... :)
This is the simulator's way of ensuring there is a demand in the beginning of the game.
If the need for jobs wouldn't be this high, it wouldn't be easy to start a new city.
In order to switch the demand from ID to IM and IHT you'd need to educate your sims.
Till then, I'd set up a neighbouring industrial city where ID can expand and spread their fumes...
More information about the workforce drives can be found in Workforce and Occupation Demands (Drives) (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=963.0).
ok thanks for your help
