Top 5 EASY Industries To Make Money in TROPICO 6 (FOR BEGINNERS)

[@Jerutastic]

I read the comments and I hear the request, here is a helpful tutorial for all the new Tropico 6 players. Keep in mind, the Industries I am recommending here are for people that just started playing. YES, we know other industries make more money, but I am focusing on the 'One and Done' industries, meaning ones you can pop up, do not need a lot of workforce, and only need one other industry to make them run.

[@yurizhivago4848]

Great Videos. I have 5 and now bought 6 as Steam has a Xmas sale. One thing I learned a long time ago is traffic flow/congestion is a huge problem just like in Sim City or City Skylines. I try to have several docks close to industry and straight roads to them. I am going to try zoning people close to Rum and Cigar industries and cater to them. Do you have any videos about zoning and traffic or thoughts on this?

[@rodh1404]

I think you missed what is probably the easiest money of all - the Lumber Mill. It won't make as much as the Rum Distillery over the long term, but it's startup costs are MUCH less. 2 Logging Camps + 1 Lumber Mill (set to Hasty Debarking) costs just $7,100. Compare that to the Rum Distillery + 2 Plantations which costs $12,600. And you'll almost certainly want the Dunder Still upgrade to maximize profits for another $5,000. The Lumber Mill setup also uses less space and requires fewer workers (16 vs 20). You also don't need to worry about soil degradation with the Logging Camps. I'd still use the Rum Distillery (or even several of them), but I'd also build one or two Lumber Mill chains just for some extra profit. Moving into the World Wars Era and there's a similar argument. The Cigar Factory might make better profits long term, but that requires Tobacco Plantations and a bigger investment in $, space and workers. The Shipyard costs less and only needs a bit of space on the waterfront. Then you can turbocharge the profit you should already be making from your Planks by turning them into Boats. Because you're not paying for all those Plantation workers, I think the Shipyard could actually exceed the profits from the Cigar Factory chain.

[@ShacolateClown]

Can confirm on this. I have 2 rum distills and when i build my 2nd shipyard the profit went up alot

[@rustyhowe3907]

My economy was tanking no matter what I did, as soon as I added two shipyards though (with adjusted resource buildings) my economy hit boomtimes, now I build entire communities of high end infrastructure payed for in, pardon the pun, boatloads of money.

Started playing Tropico 6 on Xbox and was getting a little frustrated but thanks to your videos I'm really enjoying the game now! Keep up the good work!

[@Jerutastic]

Glad to hear that for real!

[@stuartygibson7079]

Same as me. You helped me a lot

[@carloscelaya7643]

got xbox game pass ultimate and saw tropico 6 listed so i started researching and found your videos. you pretty much got me into tropico and im not disappointed. love watching your videos on my breaks at work or at any spare time. learn many new things on every video keep it you man, we appreciate your hard work. hope to see more new videos soon in the meantime ill keep watching all the seasons on your playlist thanks again 👍

[@Mikey_is_on_yt]

Glad to see you back! I am a new Tropico player and have been watching your older videos, when I saw the upload date to your videos I got sad because you were one of the best content creators for this game! So glad to have ya back!

[@Jerutastic]

Very glad to hear that, I will do my best to keep giving you guys videos!

[@MgMilitum]

Good style, good voice, good tone, good phrasing. And you are right about every relevant point you touch upon.

[@sirfanatical8763]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who places some nice extra parks around areas

[@Jerutastic]

lol gotta make it look pretty

[@hyrulianguardlyfe3952]

I played T5 along time ago and it was so over whelming and i was barely able to scrap by. I started playing T6 yesterday and it was just as overwhelming but they added alot of numerical info to stuff that made it easier "like plantaiton effectiveness %" and now ive stumbled upon your channel and guides. I love the cadence of your voice and how you keep it simple, ive got one of your videos playing in the background almost constantly while i play...thank you for all your hard workk!

[@thanos6346]

Good to see, I kept trying to set up new industries, vertically integrate them, and then close down underperforming industries, but since I didn’t know what I was doing I just kept hemorrhaging money until I went bankrupt. This should help.

[@VinylFoxx23]

I got into this game a few days ago, picked up the beginners bundle on Switch (don't judge me I'm broke) but everytime I play the game I always end up never being able to leave the colonial era because I just can't make enough money, my expenses always outcost my income and I become reliant on the foreign aid, videos like this are super helpful, thank you

[@jovideos7546]

Havent thought about tropico 6 until this vid ahahah

[@Jerutastic]

Well...its time my friend.

[@iL0BO]

It’s on Xbox game pass now so I’m enjoying it

[@Jerutastic]

It is worth it, love this game.

[@D.R.O221]

U back finally

[@Jerutastic]

I mean, I never left, I do other content haha after 5 seasons of T6 a break is nice.

[@drag0n911]

I started playing the other day, and im struggling with crown import/exports in the colonial era

[@maxkaufmann833]

God bless, sincerely. I bought this game, go into the missions, and I go into a massive debt spiral. This is helpful.

[@emilioantonioramirezmar8978]

Gracias al gamepass empecé con Tropico 6 , thanks for the tips its Helping me in missions 😄

[@kylerobison1425]

I want some of the tropico 4’s buildings to make a return. Also, I want more control over El Presidente, including making him participate in combat like Tropico 4.

[@al_wombat]

Thanks! As a returning player I‘d like to know whether the old rule to max dock workers‘ as well as teamsters‘ and constructors’ still stands iyo. And why? Do workers still gain experience->efficiency if they stay at the same workplace? Or do high wages by themselves cover this efficiency boost?

[@OrisOsiris1]

i played Tropico 5. While it's great, it lacks complexity and gets boring rather quickly. I think Tropico 6 is the answer as there are more diverse industries and choices to make. btw i agree Rum and Cigar factories are really the best and easiest ways to make money, just like in Tropico 5

[@ilykeandre3898]

Nice video thanks for the help 🙏🏽

[@-HockeySteve94-]

If I set up a Rum or Cigar Factory How many plantations should I have for each Factory?

[@HO-gl2ex]

Well I tried with 2 sugar plantations and should work if the efficiency is above 90%

[@Jerutastic]

Great question actually. What I recommend is a minimum of two for each cigar factory, the trick is to try to line up the plantation on the same street as the Cigar factory this way when teamsters come bam, easy in, easy out. I also recommend for any industry you want to start make sure you have enough teamsters for it.

[@-HockeySteve94-]

@@Jerutastic thanks Man

[@paulshepard9853]

Thank you, great video !

[@Jerutastic]

For sure!!

[@alkhemi8175]

New viewer and player. Picked it up on Xbox game pass. Bought it a day later. Likely not the best platform. Still.. Having fun. This game scratches many gamer itches in me. Spiffing Britt may have made me laugh at this game. You sir make me appreciate it. So enjoy a cigar wit a nice glass o rum, and pass the cheese plates.

[@lexis2514]

So glad I found this.

[@jamie8032]

by the time i reach the world wars, im atleast 40k in debt. been playing it the same as tropico 5 and 4, doesnt matter. restarted the game twice.

[@ramd9532]

I'm still struggling. In the pirate King level. Have the rum and lumber. Lots of mines. But not making money. Tried everything. Praising factions. There's no tourism availability in this Era. Very frustrating. I don't have homes but that doesn't make money ppl just make shacks plus upkeep is high.

[@dcethe6943]

I know this is late but homes do make money. They pay rent, a full house usually pays 2 to 3 times the budget of an average home. Let the broke build shacks in colonial Era, its only important to house everyone in later eras for easy elections.

[@romangruskulag7296]

This vid was cool but when you gonna make more vids on tropico?

[@yugoslavia_operator128]

How many rum and sugar plamtations you need? What about trade?

[@OsamaBinLooney]

picked this game up a couple weeks ago, really want to like it but it has a steep learning curve failed my first run already, my approval rating was 98% but then i made an improved housing promise in a speech which i failed and lost like 75% of my approval rating and started losing money cus none of my products were making it to the docks even with 3 teamsters offices

[@BLKPILL]

I can’t do anything but lose money and it would be nice to find a guide that says how many of each you will need etc. a complete guide.

[@IceSheriff]

Best way is: 2 corn farms and a factory farm for Goat. Milk is great Monet

[@Bateluer]

Any interest on making a video on recovering an island? Eg, one that's consistently 50K+ in debt regardless of exports or industry?

[@Xvzu777]

i must be doing something wrong because with the rum industry it always says i have no sugar but i have like 6 sugar plantations

[@Jerutastic]

How many Teamsters offices you have though? WIthout people moving the sugar it is useless. Also, if you can add a rum disterelly next to the sugar plantation makes it more worth it

[@FenderX]

What island are you playing on? Do you have a name? seed?

[@Jerutastic]

Man that island is goneeee it was my other PC

[@Clemicluwho]

I actually didn't know about the cheese

[@theromaneagle456]

Should I put my tourism port on another island and make that island luxurious?

[@Jerutastic]

Weird thing about Tropico 6 is they got a mind of its own, you can put one main island and one in the tourist island, just make sure there is a garage or a metro station near by the tourist port.

[@stevehyde1855]

What map is that?

[@Jerutastic]

Randomly generated map, not one that came with the game.

Hey, usually you can choose if your citizens are allowed to consume the goods of a certain production. Not so with the rum distillery. Why is that? I always wondered that.
