Tourism/ Attractions score

[ginugagap]

Hi dear Community!

I've been reasearching half the internet and playing around in the game quite a bit trying to get how attractions get their stars score.

While for some buildings it worky quite obvious with nature and elevation, I dont get other ones.
The art galery and Theatre for example seem never to change theyr rating no matter where I place them.

The tutorial mentions this topic in half a sentence.

The only thing I found wich tells something on this topic is this:
https://workers-resources.fandom.com/wiki/Tourism


But while this says for example the palace of communism wants elevation, testing this ingame doesnt really work.

Youtube isn't really helpful either.
Does anyone know more about this or has some useful links?

Thank you all!

If you try "Restaurant Panorama" on low terrain and then try it in the mountains with a view of water, the ratings go from 3 stars to 5 stars. Not much change with most of the others,

yeah as with hotela, especially mountain hotels. It's mostly the "Cultural" attractions i dont get. For example the museum changes as little as 0.1 stars near water, palace of communism around forest, they dont seem to care about hight even thou theyre supposed too, the beach cafe likes beaches but likes hight even more i guess, and the theather doesnt seem to care about anything, even though there should be a "culture" factor somehow.
or maybe this one is global and the more cultural stuff you have the better for all? so many questions...
when i was young there used to be manuals, really big ones, made from paper ;) i will never forget the "Pharaoh" manual, it was like 130 pages including a quite detailed overfiew on aincent egyptian history...
I really love Workers and Resources, but its so complicated and the devs seem to want us to explore it rather than play it ;) But the tutorial is mostly ok...

Attractions have a base score that is affected by the building's preference for four factors:
• Sight - How elevated the building is compared to the surrounding area.
• Water - How much water is in the surrounding area.
• Nature - How many mature plants are in the surrounding area.
• Pollution - How polluted the area is.

These factors can be a requirement, a bonus, or both depending on how the building defines them. Some factors do not affect the scores of certain buildings:

• Hotels only care about sight, nature, and pollution. Water is not a factor for them, so you should build them on top of hills with a lot of forests/parks around them. Mountain hotels get a large bonus from high elevations, but they require more nature around them.
  
• Sports attractions do not care about sight, and only the beach and various pools care about water and nature.
  
• The zoo only cares about nature and pollution.
  
• Museums only care about sight, nature, and pollution. The National Uprising Museum gets a lot larger bonus from nature than the other museums, and the Museum of the Republic does not care about pollution.
  
• Sight towers require high elevation and get large bonuses from water and nature, but pollution drags their scores down.
  
• Carousel attractions only care about water, nature, and pollution, except for the Ferris wheel, which also cares about sight.
  
• The gallery of art, republic theater, concert hall, and large Shopping Center (Proir) do not care about any of these factors, so their scores don't change.
  
• The Ekspres bistro, the Lviv Circus, and the Dance hall Romantyk only care about pollution.

The only other factor that changes the score is the price for the attraction. Ideally you would raise the price until the number of tourists wanting to enter matches the capacity of your tourism industry, but if you cannot effectively get tourists quickly from the various points they spawn at around the map to your tourism industry, then you might need to lower prices.

Testing and research. You can find the weighting each factor uses in its config file.
