If you want to grow quickly then start with the Textile Mill. Educate your workers and employ them in factories instead of plantations. The new industries can provide plenty of wealth. If you need coal just import it using a free ship. You are however more likely to encounter Coal, which you should avoid. Mines are unchanged from the Colonial era. If you are short on cash and have high unemployment then constructing some pig or cattle ranches is a nice boost to your economy. The Llama ranch has dropped below the Cattle ranch and should generally be avoided. Their income per worker competes with the gold mine and cigar factories (!). Pig farms are still the best money makers. For some reason only known to Miss Pineapple the price of wool has dropped $50. People start to like meat and milk so their prices have each increased by $100 dollars. Penultimo has informed me that a lot has changed in the World War era. But remember that you can always import the resources from a trade route. You could keep Sugar and Cotton to provide your new industries with cheap input. Just stop with crops like tobacco, coffee and cocoa. You should try to lower your dependency on plantations. Cotton and Wool are used in the Textile Mill. Keep in mind that the crop farms are now inputs for the industries. But the Cotton price has increased from $1100 to $1300 making it even better. Plantations are almost exactly the same as in the Colonial Era. Who said plantations were a smart investment? I bet it was Penultimo, he never has a clue what he is talking about… Therefore in Tropico 5 the Rum distillery is best used if you have a lot of cash but are low on workers. The Rum distillery is the opposite it requires 8 workers, costs $3300 dollars more and takes longer to ROI. Therefore it is recommended for islands with a large workforce that are short on cash. The Textile mill is cheap and provides a job for 12 workers (18 with upgrades). Importing gold might not be the smartest move!Īt the start of the World War you basically have to chose between the Textile Mill and Rum distellry. Imagine having 5000 gold stored and having it destroyed by those pesky rebels…. Keep in mind that it operates on expensive gold. The Jewelry workshop is your stepping stone to the next era.El Presidente will have to construct mines or build two docks to import the resources. Just remember that it needs both Iron and Coal to operate. It is 450% more effective than the Lumber mill and pays for itself in 6 months. The Rum distilery provides more income per worker but takes longer to become profitable.
