Got this on sale with all DLC. This helps to figure out what’s going on

Thank you for this video, so much information I never knew especially the platforms at mines, farms, ranches, etc where the products are loaded for pickup. I started a new game and followed your instructions of building mines and farms first and everything is flowing pretty nicely. I used to always go into the red, only went in once because the dockworkers didn't service a ship. I can't wait to get Tropico 5!

Thanks for the guide. FYI: its better to put your mine to the side of the deposit, and not on top of the deposit, because they cannot mine metal that is "destroyed/below" the mine. This is true for all mines, including Salt mines, which specifically say "place on deposit". Also its advantageous to have 2 mines either side of the deposit, as this doubles the extraction rate and hence doubles how quickly you make money from the mine.

I have never had a problem fully mining a deposit with a mine directly on top of it.

@bolt9110 wrong you can put mines on mineral deposits and you still get all the materials

awesome, I was so swamped when i first picked this game up, had no clue what everything did, this helped out a lot

Thanks for this video I picked up some good tips like the one with the apartments and not building a residential area as that was what i was doing, and I never knew about the island overview very handy thanks again.

Huge thumbs up! That's a bunch of really useful tips for beginners like me! Cheers!

Cool guide , you are a natural entertainer .Thanks for the vid.

Dude you’re awesome -Hahahahahaha I was cracking up with you singing the intro music. Thank you for this video, the shacks are super annoying!

Thanks I been looking for a tips video and this fit the bill. Thank you :)

Best guide I’ve found for this game!

I always build all the mines with quick build, because if you dont have the garage somewhere near, the constructors will walk all the way from the mine back accross the island, and that is much more expensive than building the mine with quick build... also my play style is that i dont build any farms and i build only marketplaces that depends on imports and teamsters... and if there is a chance i allways build the weapons facility because it generates a tons of money allways in any scenario... and iron is something that you have on island in 95% maps (or you can import it)... also i build some more docks... usually i have 2 or 3 on one beach together (if you have docks on several beaches the teamsters for some reason will ignore the docks and use only docks on your starting beach)...

Your intro music brought me to tears as if the mother Mary herself had placed her hands upon my ears and blessed me with perfect hearing.

This guide helped me a bunch with direction on how to do stuff! I did the tutorial in game but was still confused before watching this. They should have called Teamsters as distributors instead. I was so confused by them at first.

Glad it helped, I hope you fall in love with the game as much as I did.

Had Tropico 3 for a while now and every once in a while pick it up, but just bought Tropico 4 from Steam at a steal for £4.49 so decided to watch you video for a bit of a brush up which works for me. Nice video reminded me of a few things I had forgot but should be able to get back in to it fairly easy now...

I hope you enjoy this game, Im not big on sim games, but this just pulled me in.

Excellent video for an excellent game. Thank you!

Thanks man. You pointed out a few mistakes I was making.

good video m8. you basically answered everything I needed to ask :D

Glad this video helped... I might dust my copy off this week and jump back on it again.

thanks for this awsome guide! :)

Thank you for the helpful review!

I was always curious about this game. Cheers for the vid.

I can hardly beleive that this game is so old , but yet so awesome.

You don't have to look at boxes stored next to the building, it tells you in the pop up what you're input storage and output storage is. If goods are not being moved, output storage will be high.

Just got this game on sale for xbox, awesome game. Want tropico 5 now

Great vid, one thing to mention. Don't put mines on top of resources, put them just next to it, you get more from them. Except salt.

No problem

thanks for the vid i went and bought this game off steam (very cheap), i'm not usually into these kind of simulation games but wanted to try one and was gonna get sim city but seeing as how EA have completely cocked up that i went for this. excellent game.

the tutoral doesnt tell you much, but this video has been really helpful. I think im gonna have to watch this a few times for it to sink in. so with the exporting and importing do you just ignore it, or is it in the settings (youve probably answered somewhere else, but I told you i'd have to watch this a couple of times.

Nice one JJ might give this one a look!

When I play this I always automatically make sure the garages can only hire 1 person it's a waste to have 2 and I've never noticed a negative to having only 1 aside from the single worker quiting, but this is a rarity and the worker is almost always instantly replaced

Currently part of a Humble Bundle along with T3-T6 and DLCs. Long time fan of....Tropico 1....playing that game for 20 fxkn years already, i think its time to upgrade LOL

*THAT FEEL WHEN MAMBO HEAVY*

Thanks a lot... glad you enjoyed it.

Very Helpful Thank you

Nicely done matey - still waiting on my 360 version to drop the letterbox - but this has certainly given me a starter for 10... Going to rewatch again later and make a list of all the things I'll need to do to get me started... might even make this game my next review on the website :)

I had that issue right when I started, I found that making Mines and Lumber Mills helped keep my money up. That and being patient; Don't use all your money at once, or when the game automatically gives workers their wages, you'll go into debt. You can also use your avatar to buff those mines, mills, farms, ETC early on, which might help. Also, Industry buildings help you get more profit, but I haven't tried using those very often. Also, Try using the Island Economy Overlay, Helps you see where a lot of your money is gained and lost.

Yeah I actually just started playing last night first thing is not too much construction at once, build some mines and farms with a export selected..have to use the economy overlay though! Nearly lost the election last night in the first scenario but some quick edicts and building apartments helped that out quick as housing was part of my speech. On to round two.

Glad you enjoyed it, and yes it is a bloody good game.

Thank you my good man!

Tropico 4 is still the best. Tropico 5 is okay, but it feels like it's not a good. In my opinion.

How is 6?

How many squares should I have around a farm? I just started the game 2 days ago, replaying the first mission, and have been putting a farm right next to a road, I am guessing that is probably a bad idea.? As for mines. Say gold, I notice they mine around the building, so should I not place the mine building directly on top, since if it is on top, they can't mine that gold. Thanks for the video, it was very informative.

thank you very helpful

okay this actually seems kind of visually accurate. I bought T4 during a massive sale based on a youtube review and.... pretty sure in retrospect they had actually shown T5, because my game didn't look anything like theirs and after playing for 2.6 hours, haven't touched it since. That being said, T4 is just too outdated visually and maybe will try 5 since it's on sale now. But will check to see if Jurassicjunkie made a review of it first!! Otoh, youtubers lying about games seems to be super common now, so maybe just screw the whole thing.

one thing i always check, is the unemployment number (and open jobs). because there is not much use building farms and stuff, if there is no workers available to work there. spend that money to attract people to the island instead.

Thanks Very Much!

The problem is, if you up some ones wages, people will leave a job to work at the highest paid place... so some times instead of increasing "X job" select increase "college workers" for example... this does cost you more, but means people stay in the same job.

I've yet to play Tropico 3, but I have just picked it up on steam

also it's the download version, they do sell disc versions also.

Great guide

Cool video and game buddy

Great stuff :) hope these tips help you out dude.!

It doesn't actually matter if you put your farms next to the road, because they will start farming near the farm where is room to do so and as for the mines. It's best to put right atop of the part you want to mine, except if there is another deposition near that one because they will then mine them both. Hope this answered your questions.

you can click on the built mine and specify the type of metal you want it to mine from the drop down list

Yes, you can. You can buy it and download it from App Store.

Hey JJ just wondered, do you ever script your videos?

you should also check out anno 1404 and it's other games really excellent world builders also.

Glad I found this video, good watch, all 32 minuetes

Love this game

Nice video !

Thank you !

That has helped a lot

Let me know how you get on with it, so far im 62 hours in and still love it.

OMFG TROPICO 5 COMING IN MAY ? WOW

This video is old still I would like add one suggestion that if anything related production is build away from city then always have garage and teamster's building near it and always keep them connected to dock so the logistic will run smoothly. Using Windmills in mountain area will provide 40 MW energy so 10*40 = 400 MW which more than enough for all advance buildings also no need of workforce and clean energy. But really want to know how to boost the population. As in this 30 min vid population growth was 50 to 100 is very slow.

Arch1994​​ 10, 15,20, these are my wages preferences from uneducated to college workers. As per time moves keep increasing the same. Also I keep my wages on education level basis and Not on job type . docks only attract immigrants but tourism also, that's only my opinion. 

Tomb Raider is my next game to buy, just waiting until I've finished Tropico first.

Glad this helped

you didnt connected the mine with the main road

It was on Xbox live in March 2021so it’s free for me

IMO its one of the most value for money games I've played in a long time £15 for 62 hours of gaming, and I'm I've not even started the Modern Times missions.

How do you turn the buildings? I just started playing and am figuring out the controls. thanks.

thelostgirl101 use mouse wheel to rotate. also check your options for your keyboard key binds. I think you should have already figured out by now. leaving this for the benefit of other new players reading this.

Will you ever do a lets play?

Call me : " Hell- Presidente."

I do plan to go back and play number 1

I believe there are two editions... one is Tropico 4, and the other is Tropico 4 gold (With DLC)

Cheers mate :D

I just googled that, and it looks ace, sadly it says "The game is currently not available for purchase." on steam

Yeah I eventually figured the problem had to do with the wages and education in particular when all the jobs that require uneducated workers get quickly abandoned first when you have better paying jobs and a high school where people can train themselves for them.

I have a question does the tropico 4 steam special edition contains all dlc's? I have it and i look at dlc and i doesnt say that i own it

I plan to be doing more now I've got a PC that doesn't crash every 5 seconds

I thought you're supposed to put the mine next to the colored blocks instead of on top of it

Its well worth the buy im 62 hours in and I cant stop playing :S

Yes, thanks.

Glad it helped, its well worth a play!

hey bro how did you get theese new buildings please help me

Defo give it a go, you will get your moneys worth.

Thanks for this, the tutorial doesn't explain any of this at all.

Never scripted word for word, but I do have bullet points wrote down and subjects I need to talk about (same goes for FNR)

I wish you would just do a lets play of this game
