X V i 12 u S 2 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I to just got this game the other day, I'm liking it so far though. I like how you can control almost everything! As for population, I find building a immigration office, and setting it to "open doors" policy is always good for population, tips for food (because you don't want a bunch of people dying from hunger.) Keep your crops diverse so you can raise the percent of food quality. I don't think (to my understand) that the college graduates who are working, cannot work to a lower standard. I am only on the second mission so far. I have been experimenting a lot with Sandbox mode though (which is fun.) I think if you keep up with the food, and exporting of goods, you should be fine! Oh yeah, build 1 crop of food per 50 Tropicos (Civilians) that's the tip I've been told a lot when asking or researching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer7L Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 it might help to build another port so you have another ship coming and dropping off more people. Not sure if it works but i have tryed it a time or two and it seems to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentOrange330 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I don't think (to my understand) that the college graduates who are working, cannot work to a lower standard. If a person has a college degree and there are college level jobs open they will ALWAYS go there first. If you fill up the college level jobs of lock them out a college educated Tropican will move on to any other open job. The problem is if they are college educated and they end up working on a farm their job satisfaction takes a sizeable hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggnogga Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Don't leave the "Open Doors" policy on for too long or it really infuriates the Nationalistas. Usually, I would get my population up to around ~250-300, and then switch my Immigration Office to "Skilled Workers." As for getting more people into your "world," just like in real life, they look for jobs, living conditions, & all of the things that would make you want to live somewhere.

robswfcuk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Personally, once i have a high school, college and a couple of grade schools with around 250+ people on the island i change the immigration policy to skilled workers. This way you dont get all the riffraff coming in. But in the future if you need uneducated workers open the doors for a couple of years to fill them up.
