Citizens not moving in

[Katric]

Hello there
So i just startet with the realistic mode. And my proplem is that when i build houses, people did not move in. I set up a bus line from the boarder but that did not help.

I ticket the "allow people to move in" square but that doesent help either. Do i have to buy the people in the house menu or is there an other thing i missing?

Can somebody help me please? Thx

You have to buy people. Transport from border is for tourists.

Thanks for the quick response. So then im gonna buy them. Do they make children on theyr own when all the needs are there or do i have to buy all the time?

If you did it right than you buy peole one time only.
Later on you should be covered with your own people.
If you have a town or village you can check if birth kicking in. That means your folks are ok.
When you build a second city make sure you uncheck the box of allowing people to move in.
Only when the town is ready you can check that box.
( By clicking at the townsname you can allow them to move in in that area.)
Have in mind that people aged 21+ living with theis parents will move to another house.
They can move into any free house all over the map.
The 21+ers won´t stay forever.
Up to a certain age they wait.
If they won´t find a home they will escape.
After some time you won't be able to keep up with building new homes.
That is the time when it becomes normal that a few people escape.

Have all the stuff they would want/need nearby, buy a few or fill the first building, if you have a good setup they should move in on their own. Running a bus to the border does nothing to add population, though it seems like it would, it does not.

Would be interresting to see if they would implement natural immigration too.

Yes, please! Also it could mean we could set if we allow immigrants in to steal our jobs, or we keep the border closed. Vice-versa, you could let the unhappy fellows leave, or decide to keep them in like in proper soviet republic, then theyre unproductive, prone to crime, etc..

What about sending your workers abroad for cash? That might be a way to generate some income
