Industrial building won't pop up on oil soil
It doesn't matter if there is a district zone or not, no industrial building is being built over the oil soil. I read that it's a bug where you just need to delete the zone, draw a new one and it will build up normally, well it didn't work for me. I haven't tried the residential nor commercial zone yet, but I highly doubt it will be of any relate to the matter. Almost forgot, yes there are >50% needs for industrial zone and the citizen keep complaining why I only focus in farming industry.

Have you got Industries DLC or are you using vanilla?
If your using vanilla you'll need a district that is dedicated to oil.
Maybe provide a screenshot so we can have a better view of your issue.

Make sure you set the industrial zone, And also make sure you put down the main building.

Im using Vanilla ver.

As you can see in the pics, I've set the industrial zone over the oil soil that is to be the oil industry district. Even with the demands for industrial zone > 50% no building was being built on that soil for days.

Strange how your roads look white and don't seem to lead anywhere in that zone pic. I don't remember seeing that before.

Can you post also a pic with road tool enabled to see how the roads are laid?

And do you have unbuilt industry zones somewhere else too?

I think the roads are white because the game hasn't finish its rendering, and the road is connected to the city on the right side, I built it quite far as the whole industrial zone (oil, farm, etc.) away from the main city.

Edit: No, there are no industrial zone being built anywhere, and you can see there are alot of demand for industrial zone also, so the likelihood of something being built somewhere else is impossible. This is the 2nd time I got this bug, the first time I had to abandoned my save (like a year ago) because of the same bug.

I even tried to demolish all of my current industrial building, yet nothing is built.

Pic of the whole city

For the first pic, my residential and commercial areas are located on the far left, and the oil soil, along with the farm soil, are located on the far left, everything is connected thru a net of roadways. When I first built the farm industry area everything works like a charm eventhough the farms are located really far from the city.


Then, I have a suspicious here that there are somekind of range between the industrial zone and residential zone, especially oil industry building. Like if there are no residential/commercial zone within the range, no industrial building will be built. Look at the pic below, after I delete everything, and set up small area of lands for every zone on that oil soil, some small oil industry building pop up AFTER everything else is up. Not sure if it's true, I need confirm on this.
