During World War II, medics successfully used coconut water as a short-term substitute for IV fluid when medical supplies were scarce.

Actually, my second time. I completed it before on Android, and now iOS. When’s the next version coming?

What should I do with an objective I can't complete?
I'm a long time player of T5 and decided to pick up T4 today. I've taken an objective to export bauxite. I realized after, there is no bauxite on my island at all. I decided to import it, so I could then export it like I would in T5. Unfortunately this has done nothing. The questions I'm left with are:
- How do I complete or get rid of this objective without being able to mine or import bauxite?
- Where is the bauxite that I'm importing going? I'm not using it in any production cycles.

I just can't get my head around Tropico 6 and how the economy system works...
I'm a fairly experienced Tropico player, however I've migrated/upgraded from Tropico 3 and 4. I wasn't expecting 6 to overly familiar, like I was expecting it to be a little more complex and in-depth, but WOW! This game feels so needlessly over complicated!
I don't get the economy system in this game at all. Even in sandbox, moreover even with a creative mode option on (unlimited mandate) I just can't seem to make any profit whatsoever, despite having like 3 gold mines, plenty of teamsters, plenty of resources overall, but I can't seem to do anything except watch my money drain more and more.
I feel like I've tried everything. Eg. Refusing to build housing, ignoring demands, building another dock early on, not building anything for a while other than industry and production buildings, buying extra trade slots to boost my income. Nothing so far has worked...
What the heck am I missing? What does this game want from me other than (to me it seems anyway) just completing mission after mission regardless of how shit my economy is? At this point I'm half considering just doing a sandbox with unlimited money and just focusing on missions because it seems that's all the game wants me to do, and the only thing that's possible to do!

Crimson Sky's is no bueno
After browsing this sub it seemed this was the most recommended. I'm not the smartest person. But, fertilizer bombs? Really? Feels like a poorly thought out idea. Clearly, I'm only on the second map but so far this is kinda a let down. Is this really the best of the expansions?

Haven't played in years, how's it looking?
I took yalls advice and started growing tobacco immediately and built a cigar factory. When exports slowed down, I built more farms and factories.
Then, the money dried up.
I sat there for ten years just collecting debt (never printed more money). Citizens stayed happy and I was 3 months off from completing my term before getting invaded by the USSR.

T6 still worth it?
It's on sale for series s, don't know if it ever got a current gen version, is it worth it given that tropicon7 is on the horizon?

Is the multiplayer mode working correctly in the PS version of Tropico 5?
I apologize if I'm mistaken, but am I the only one unable to connect to multiplayer in the PS version of Tropico 5?
Other online games are working fine, but Tropico 5 has been like this for about five days.

Revisiting Tropico 6, Isla Cuadrada
Hello fellow Tropicans! I've been revisiting again the Tropico saga, from 1 to 6. This particular post is for my T6 game that I played over the last couple of weeks, this time with several mods installed + The Llama of Wall Street DLC.
My usual style is a benevolent democracy: I hold real elections without cheating and try to keep everyone happy, aiming to maintain all indexes above 60. That goes for the superpowers too, and at this point my relations with all of them are at or near 100.
As the island grew, I shifted the economy from export-based, to tourism, and finally to services.
Everything ran smoothly until the population hit around 6–7k. That's when traffic started choking the industries, with exports revenue collapsing from about 1 million to almost nothing.
I'm tempted to pick up Caribbean Skies to see whether drone logistics could help with the traffic. Has anyone tried that for congestion, or got other fixes for a gridlocked late-game island?

Tropico 7?
I know the closed beta was months ago but I’m really surprised we still have no release date and they been completely radio silent. No new details screenshots gameplay footage release date besides vague 2026 nothing. I wonder what’s going on?
