Chapter 10
When something is not working
Use the symptom, report, and forecast to find the next step.
Check by symptom
| What happened | What to check |
|---|---|
| A planned building did not appear | Check whether its time has arrived and read the failure reason in Journal. Terrain, preparation, woodland, cash, materials, reserves, and unpaid costs can all matter. |
| A new facility is not producing yet | New buildings and upgrades become active the following turn. After that, check pauses, workers, damage, operating cash, and inputs. |
| Income is lower than expected | Distinguish sales from profit, and check Actual workers and Operating balance. Tourism also needs demand and transport capacity; factories need materials. |
| Food is short despite automatic buying | Check cash, operating bills, the automatic purchase budget, and trade capacity. Automatic buying is not unlimited. |
| Development was held despite cash being available | Check cash at the moment of execution, reserve targets, and unpaid costs. Later exports cannot pay for earlier construction. |
| A later action failed after I canceled another | Canceling does not shift later times. Removing a preparatory action may leave a later construction order without the conditions it needs. |
| Population has stopped growing or is falling | Check spare housing, food shortages, unpaid costs, happiness, and employment. Damage or pausing may have reduced housing capacity. |
| Old reports are missing | The game retains the latest 240 turn reports. This limit is separate from the number of elapsed turns processed while you are away. |
| Forecasting or editing is unavailable | Check for elapsed turns still being processed or a save error. Read the message and use Retry where shown. |
