Don't use parking deck!

[AlcoholV]

If the city is ruined later in the game, try destroying the parking deck.
Hundreds of trapped people will escape at once!

Why? Because of animation.
Only up to 10 cars can be exit of a parking lot in month!
Only 10 cars in a month!
Also, there is no limit of queue!

Over time, hundreds of peoples can disappear into black holes.
As result, nearby buildings will filled with people who never come. So the people try to use parking lots to go farther and farther.

This phenomenon is so will spread to whole the city.

This is a hilariously bad bug to exist in a released game, so hopefully, they'll patch this soon.

Does this also apply to the transport docks that citizens move to travel from island to island?

I don't think it's on transport dock as I see everyone always using tiny rowboats to get across the various islands, but parking decks are poopy

You need the landing dock for citizens and army units to move island to island.

Transport dock moves only resources from the island it is on to the dock on your main island.

Yes! I reported it twice during beta but nothing happened. It ruins the game once ur city gets to a certain point in population. It is the biggest single bug in the game right as I see it.
Busses are bugged too, metros are way to slow once you have several stops and cars are bugged too
They should waited a few more months with the release, in my opinion

And it's not even mentioned in the Known issues official thread.

[Angry]

Is this ever going to be adressed by the devs? I can't use car decks at all, wrecks my economy every time.

I would use bus on the early stages when less population, then change to car garage till i can get the mono-train service to travel.. Which i will reduce the car garage and position them on a further journey usage..

This is what people fail to understand, when you combine the car deck budget cost with free wheels it is far cheaper to run a few buses instead.

[Micah]

The issue with buses isn't the cost, it is the real estate utilization. If I drop 4 car decks down I get 6 routes for people to take (A-B, A-C, A-D, B-C, B-D, C-D). The more car decks you have, the more this scales up. This is magnified greatly by the fact that docks, construction offices, teamster offices, groceries, shopping malls, and all industry buildings have built-in car decks, so I really only need car decks near residential, tourism, entertainment, religious and medical buildings. I can cluster those together near a car deck in one part of my city, turn on free wheels, and everyone can quickly get to where they are going... except for the car deck bug discussed here.

No wonder i feel that after i built a parking Garage, my export "slightly and slowly" reducing overtime. Might be investigate further. Maybe i should demolish those parking lots to see how many of the peoples are stuck inside.

[Micah]

If you demolish the lot people will continue coming out of it until the spot is empty. I gave up waiting after like an hour of streaming people escaping their prison. :P That being said, better to have people still coming out but without new people going in. At least then _eventually_ you'll recover your population.

The best solution I can come up with is to build multiple parking garages. The problem is that the game doesn't give you information on when a parking garage is at capacity like metro and bus do, so it is unclear when the right time for parking garage expansion is. Parking garages also generate a _ton_ of pollution, which means you need a waste management plant next door if you want to keep pollution in the area under control, so parking garages really end up consuming more space and money than they appear at first glance.

Yeah I did that and replace it with a metro. It looked liek cars were coming out of the metro.

[Steely]

Any one know if the parking garage bug is fixed by now?

[Bored Peon]

Have not played in a while and just about forgot about the game. Kinda surprised no DLC yet.

[Steely]

I refunded the game because of the bug's, was thinking to buy it when it was fixed, but have read that there are still so many bugs in T6, unbelievable.

[Peter Griffin]

Seriously, this game was a massive disappointment.. Wish I could have refunded it but I played it for too long already.

Between two betas and the full release I have about 800 hours into this game. I did get burnt out and played some other games, mostly Kerbal Space Program. There was a new 1.8 update for KSP. People on Steam are pillarging KSP 1.8 even though people at other places are not.

I am starting to think Steam is just a places for people to vent about things they do not like about games.

I just started to play Tropico 6 again - and you know what - I really like it. Sure the pumpkins are a bit kitschy, but it is kind of fun. I am making tons of money on my Islands, and am not running into any type of rage game braking bugs.

[Weizen1988]

the pumpkins? did they add a new plantation or something?
