Regional, Commercial and Industrial Capacity for CAMeLOTs

[AussieDave]

Is this determined by your population or by the maximum occupiable tenancy of all the buildings in your region. Using the CAMeLOT counter roundabout statue the capacity numbers do not seem to match back to the population. Should I be using the population or what the roundabout statue shows to determine how far I have progressed as far as potential stage development goes.

If i'm right, the CAP's are the number of jobs that can be created currently. FOr example, you have a certain CAP of farming. Once that is reached by growing farms, no more can grow. By placing reliefers, like the ROundabout statues and the Census bureu, they can continue to grow.

As to how it's figured, I think it has something to do with population (Big cities have low CAP for farms)

If i'm wrong, someone please correct me...

Thanks Bob. Not sure if I explained myself right. For example I have a region with a population of 130,000, with 85,000 industrial jobs and 20,000 commercial jobs. I click on the CAMelot roundabout counter and it says residential capacity 180,000, commercial 30,000 and industrial 110,000. Is my residential growth stage 130,000 or 180,000? Do I use population or do I use what the CAMelot roundabout counter states as a basis to determine where I am on the growth graph

Okay, growth stages are the levels at which certain CAMelots grow, for example, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. This determines when certain buildings will grow. The growth stage is determined by your CAP's, which is the bold number on the counter.

If i'm right your residential capacity right now is how many residents (pop.) you can have with your current number of jobs.

If your counter says 180k, that''s what you could achieve. For example, if you grew no more commercial or industrial, you could reach a population of 180k. YOu couldn't get a higher population unless you grew more Com. and Ind.

Hope this helps, sorry if I'm confusing you even more!!!
