What density does the high tech industry settle on? :S
sim city 4
- Thread starter Andr3w
- Start date
Both medium and high density...
But they won't settle easily near dirty industry, as they hate settling near pollution. This is provided you have the demand for it and that requires your sims to be educated and healthy.
High tech very anti pollution, like all high wealth. To get it and not dirty industry, put the dirty industry tax at 20% and zone low/mid density. Place parks around the zone and bulldoze any dirty industry that grows.
Low? No no no ! that will give you farms
. High density is fine too.Other thing is okay though I usually put dirty tax @ 20%, manufacturing @ 12 % ( still gives you some of it, but it aint that bad, poor sims need somewhere to work too
) and leaving high tech at 9% or even lower.Yeah I done something very similar but I put 20% on manufacturing too. I have a separate tile for all my polluting industry and I'm hoping to shift rubbish from all my residential tiles there. It seems to be working well.
By the way sorry concorde, just realised I gave an answer to a question you didn't quite ask
I use this tag on my shortcut. Works absolutely fine.
Hope it helps.

so is there no where to download peoples regions/cities?
Not mine but I found this: http://www.sc4ever.com/media/maxisland.cfm
yeah thats the only one ive ever found.
funny how i can spend days, if not months on SC2000 cities but get bored of SC4 so fast... i want to do it, but cant... i can make successful cities but it just aint as fun
Ah lame :/
Bug posty in every thread he posts in. You'll get his region eventually
whos region? where where where!
I just can't get the hang of it - I build loads of industry in a single tile, inc. power and water and stuff and send it over to the adjoining tiles, and sure enough I get some cash, but I just seem to run my funds into the ground - do I still build residential in these "industry" tiles?
Or even better - are there any guides of any sort about this?

Not sure if that is actually his though!
Check out this thread: http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=79659&enterthread=y
After doing what is outlined in that thread I would just build up low density residential and commercial away from the little village you will first build. Increase tax for dirty industry and manufacturing to max and build these up in a separate tile. Make sure you have good transport links although this isn't important early on. Just make sure you don't implement fire, water, education and stuff like that early on because it isn't needed and is extremely costly. If you build it up when they ask for it, micro-manage capacity and constantly balance things between your residential/commercial tile and industry tile, you should make some nice money. Your industry tile won't make much money, just try keep in the blue. You don't really need to develop them so it isn't an issue.
I'm by no means an expert, just works for me

Ah ha! Haven't seen the -CustomResolution one before; hopefully that'll do the trick.
Cheers!
High tech will grow on high density zones but so well the biggest dirtiest factories, the later won't grow on med density but the high tech will. Which is why you don't tile high density industry.
Dirty won't grow at all if you set the tax @ 20%...
Dirty grown on mid density easily, I'm sure as I always used to zone mid density only.
To my knowledge densitys are best used as low as possible to get small-medium growth, and then once you've got a nice region going and you've run out of land.. rezoning parts of your low/mid-density to high will give you nice big buildings. By zoning too big to begin with, cities can get wayyy out of control.
