    Construction Offices: These are crucial for building larger structures. Maintain a few extra laborers, but be wary of building too many, which can cause a labor shortage. Space offices around the island for flexibility.
  20. 20
    Teamsters and Dockworkers: Teamsters are vital for transporting goods. Build additional Teamster Offices if output stores at major buildings exceed 10 units. Ensure docks are efficient; build more docks if goods pile up or if industries are too far from existing docks. Efficiently loading goods at docks can result in significant treasury increases, potentially around $100,000 for valuable goods.

    Soldiers and Police: Build your first Police Station around the time you build a High School to manage crime and happiness. Be aware that too many police can negatively impact your Liberty score.
Tips
  • Monitor output stores at your buildings to determine the need for more Teamster Offices.
  • If goods are piling up at docks or industries are far from docks, consider building additional docks.
  • Spacing out Construction Offices can offer more flexibility in island design and prevent localized labor shortages.
  • Balancing the number of police with the Liberty score is important for overall island happiness.
