that lifestate is self contained within the residential structure of the parentsģ. Tropicans have a 'hidden' lifestate called 'infant'Ģ. I am DEMANDING you fix this, Kalypso! As a customer who has so far bought all the DLC and sunk more than five-hundred hours into this game, FIX. Seriously, why do I have to pay a whopping ten grand to fill up a dump just to keep it going on the threat that people in its vicinity will start dying off from pollution?Īnd for God's sake, put in a prompt from Penultimo reminding El Presidente to keep on top of pollution before people begin to die off. And then fix the obvious bug with inspiring billboards while making garbage dumps much less of a money sink to keep active. Give the player ways to clean up pollution in the Colonial and World Wars era, but also make it so pollution doesn't have such egregious penalties that can kill off as many as twenty people in a given year. Because why buy garbage dumps that are expensive to maintain (much too expensive, in fact) when you can just plop down a few signs and never have to worry about pollution ever again?

For the past few games I've done, I've started in the Cold War era, spammed billboards, set them to recycle, and didn't have to worry about pollution ever again and my population doesn't die off at alarming rates anymore. Instantly, nearly all pollution throughout your island is brought to zero or one. However, for whatever reason, when you have at least three inspiring billboards set to recycle-doesn't matter how close or far they are from each other-the effect becomes global. If you set an inspiring billboard to recycle, it will lower the pollution build up in a small area near residential buildings. Placing a waste treatment facility next to a garbage dump is a powerful combo that can potentially nullify all pollution in a given area.īut you know what's even stronger than that? You know what blows all of them completely out of the water? Inspiring billboards. In the Modern Era, you also get access to a waste treatment facility which, despite not having the range of a garbage dump, cleans more efficiently while generating no pollution of its own. The problem is that Tropico 6 doesn't even GIVE you a way to mitigate pollution until the Cold War era in which you can build garbage dumps, or enact the mandatory recycling edict, or appoint an environmentalist to your ministry.

If you're not cleaning up pollution, which accumulates overtime in either housing or industry, it will kill people with low healthcare happiness (probably just as they're on their way to a clinic/hospital, no less). Turns out the real culprit was pollution.

Why it was that despite having plentiful clinics and hospitals, people still tended to die off at alarming rates due to 'bad healthcare,' which made it all but impossible to grow your population without treating immigration like a faucet for your always dwindling pool of citizens. Last year, I started a thread on healthcare in Tropico 6 and why it's so inefficacious.
