How many speakers do I need!?

[unseen4ce]

They are everywhere and it still isnt enough. Lavatories also.
They arent even being used at full capacity. It is kind-of ruining the game for me because I need much higher migration but dont want a speaker on every corner. Each speaker is a worker and each lavatory is 2 workers.

Played 80 hours in it is starting to feel like a chore to balance the needs vs migration. It is too demanding.

You do not need full 100% efficiency with speakers and lavatories, and even if you had, the old folks in your town are unhappy if migration happens too fast, besides other manifold effects of growing pop such as food requirements.
Slow and steady, slow and steady!

In my previous ( demo ) town, I found integrating about 70-80 new folks per year just fine for a pop between 500-1000.

Especially in rural districts ( farms ) the level of services will be low. Peasants have to make do with housing, water and heat, They can come to the city centers for an occasional top up of their needs for news and going to the loo.

You cannot reach 100% because your people do not even have the time to fill all those possible needs. Their lavatory comfort will drop while they listen to the town crier.

Ok well I assumed the red arrow indicated that it was affecting migration. But if it doesnt need to be 100% that is fine.

nah, mate. 80's gravy. C's get degrees. Have you learned nothing?

You only need Speakers and civic buildings where your citizens congregate, ala near housing/on the way to their work. Just work to always have building material on hand to expand basic services/housing.

i had this problem, you need less than you think, but they must we manned to work,
i just increase the priority by 1 point and voila

Be careful when using that tab.

Some services cant go past a cap until you upgrade them. You can have 10 speakers with a 150 pop, it'll cap. Idk if what Im saying is actually true for speakers, but lavatories and eateries have thresholds based on their upgrades and stuff.
