My Cannery is not producing

[Numa]

Why is my Cannery not producing? I have 4 pineapple plantations in the green nearby, 2 teamster offices nearby (7 teamster offices total), but its not producing any canned goods. I have enough electricity in the area. What am i doing wrong?

It takes high school grads. Make sure you have enough teamsters for your island. Also check the docks for stuck teamster's trucks. You can also upgrade it to add meats...

Mmm nothing says farm fresh like Tropican meat from an unknown origin in a can.

Might also want to add another Teamster's building. By the time I got my first Cannery going, my first one was getting overworked. :P

The cannery requires all three inputs to output... meaning you need to have all 3 resources (coffee, fish, pineapples) in the cannery before it begins to output.


This is still great advice though.

I don't think you need all 3 inputs to output, no.

It sounded pretty foreign to me as well, but this is what was said in the bug report thread and it worked for me, canneries are now always working really well.

Well, I can confirm that the cannery does produce goods with only fish, and with only coffee. You get an "some production cycles are not working" error if you have upgraded it to utilise meat without supplying the factory with any meat.

Then it must be a bug with the cannery not producing Pinapple, because i already have 7 teamsters, 4 pinnaple plantations, full workers, and plenty enough electricity for the Cannery.

I'll try make some coffee and fish for the production later today to see if it will produce canned pineapple when i have all 3 inputs.

Maybe your citizens are consuming the pineapples before they get exported.

Ok so I fired up a sandbox and tried a cannery with nothing but pineapples... and this time it worked fine. It is definitely a bug in that case, perhaps re-building the cannery will quick-fix it until it gets resolved.

Just turning of local consumption on the banana plantation and wharf got it working for me.

Rebuild your cannery next to your farms.

So I’ve rebuilt 4 canneries in my current game. None of which produced. I have multiple farms of each crop, fisheries, ranches and teamster office next door. Nothing. 0 output. Finally I destroyed them all and built one next to my farms and voila: Instant production. I was trying to keep my factories all in one place for pollution reasons. But apparantly that doesn’t work. Could have sworn it worked fine in my last game tho 🤔

It is producing Canned Pineapples. But you will get that warning until you build a Coffee plantation and build a Wharf.

Fishing trawlers do not contribute to food or Factory input.

Road networks are also important. You should try to make round-abouts. Main roads and secondary roads. By-pass roads.

You can even make isolated sections of roads which is just a perfect square that doesn't connect to any other road at all it just connects to itself.

Stop roads early to reduce junctions where you don't need them.

Never make a 4 point junction ever (a crossroads). Round-abouts are made by basically creating a circle or a rounded rectangle that has other roads connecting to it. They're very effective at controlling the flow of traffic.

Are you talking about the right game?

I will try this but seems it is a bug that was never fixed. My fish source is just across the road. Canneries worked fine in my last mission, just not now. Also, my market does not work even though I have multiple food sources with output storage. I'm spamming my teamsters to see if it helps, but I dont hold high hopes. Teamsters should service all facilities at least a bit if not equally.
