Home Tycoon - 0 Population?

I just noticed today that with the newest update to Home Tycoon, that my game is showing that I don't have any population at all. I haven't lost any buildings or anything, but the Population shows "0" and what I assume is the 'employment rate' shows "0%" The sad part is that with the new free expansion I have a new quest to get a population of 50,000 and I have to employ at least 20,000. Before my game messed up, I'm more than positive that I had about 74,000 population.

 

I have backed in and out of the game multiple times and even cleared my cache but nothing seems to be helping. Anyone else have suggestions?

Re: Home Tycoon - 0 Population?

It's possible that your citizens may have moved out if you haven't logged in for a while and your Pollution and Happiness stats are abysmal. Hold L2 to check your city stats.

 

If that isn't the case and something looks really wrong, please confirm your PSN ID (is it your Supreme_Entity account in the US region?) and we'll investigate further.

Re: Home Tycoon - 0 Population?

[ Edited ]

I checked my HOME Tycoon last night, all my Stats were through the Roof, & my Pollution was at an all time -74... 

Then I got into the New Expansion Pack... By the time I reached the Population working Mission... 

 

I noticed my Citizens started to leave my City, I never knew why, the only thing I could come up with, was... 

 

My Pollution... My Pollution after the first Mission went up from -74 to 945 Possitive... 

 

But thats not all, I realized thats not the only thing causing your Citizens to leave... I tested out this Theory by 

Deleting all my Factories, & such... 

 

Your Citizens won't leave because of your Pollution... They leave because your Growth Rate is in the Negatives... 

The higher your Growth Rate the faster your Citizens Move in, & the bigger the Negative Number, the faster 

your Citizens will leave your City... 

 

To fix your Growth Rate, I noticed that the (Less Pollution = Higher Growth Rate) 

 

I don't know anything about Happieness, since I don't have any issues with that yet... 

 

This fixed my Population, & it should fix your Population, too... 

 

Mind you, without a Population, you have no Workers, & without workers, your Income is 0% 

& with no Income, you have no Cash, @_@ 

 

Since I completely filled my entire City Map, I had to start a New City to beat the Next Mission... 

 

 

Hope this Helps... xD! 

 

This was never the Case, it was the New Major Update that caused your Chaos... 

& it's not going to get fixed, because thats how it's suppose to be... 

 

Only way to fix it, is to fix your City Pollution & Growth Rate... 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy!

From what it sounds like, Sony wants to make it so that we can Play our Games from anywhere, on any device, so with that said, does that mean that Sony not only just wants PS4 to, but also make the PS3 Support it as well?

Anotherwards, with this in mind...

Do you really think PS4 is going to be just that much bigger of a leap into the Future? Or do you think PS4 is going to just be another PS3 Clone, but with supposedly better Graphix?

I log in everyday, at least 3x a day. After going back to my city, my stats aren't looking good at all.

 

My stats are as follows:

 

Happiness: -731

Pollution: 2782

Power: 2164

Water: 791

Crime: 58

Growth Rate: -105%

Income Rate: 81%

 

I have 16 GloboSyn Towers (to maximize profits), 18 Condo Sky Towers, 8 Corporate Sky Towers, 4 Corporate Sky Towers (UNDER CONSTRUCTION),  4 Modest Apts, 4 Modern Apts, 2 Condo Towers, 4 GloboSyn Industrial Parks (from previous quest) and a few other misc buildings such as the Hospital, Mall, Garden District, Silverman Plaza, GloboSyn Regional HQ, etc.

 

How can I fix this? Happiness is WAY too low and didn't realize it was that bad. Pollution and Growth Rate is a concern as well. I'm not sure if you can still look at my account to make sure it's not a glitch or anything, but yes, I confirm my PSN ID is: Supreme_Entity and is a US account.

The question is how? What's the easiest way? Is the cause from the many GloboSyn buildings? I only built so many so I could get a lot of money.

Re: Home Tycoon - 0 Population?

This is what I had a problem with, too... 

 

I had to pretty much add up all my Polluted Buildings, & then go through, & add up all my Anti-Polluted Buildings, 

just to find how much Pollution I actually needed to go & Remove... 

 

With almost 3,000 Pollution... You got a ton of Pollution... 

 

In your case there is no other way to fix this, other then Removing Buildings... 

 

I filled half the map up with Water Parks & still only managed to come up with -702 Pollution... 

 

So with 3,000 Pollution, Water Parks just isn't enough... 

 

 

 

To fix it, you'll have to go, & find which buildings are causing the most Pollution, & start Removing them 1 by 1... 

My best guess will be your Globo Syn Buildings... 

 

If i'm not mistaken, each one adds Pollution up to 250 Depending on the Buildings... 

 

At least you don't own any Factories or Power Plants, they can rack up 1,000's of Pollution, !@_@! 

 

----------- 

 

I don't know if the GloboSyn Buildings are Red Numbers or White Numbers for Pollution, but whatever their number is... 

Is deffinately Polluting the Air... Most Buisness Buildings you buy cause Pollution if that Helps... 

 

Just look under each building, & see which Building causes the most... 

 

------------ 

 

This is the best way I can help... I'm not really sure how else you can fix this...

Pollution has nothing to do with it. Pollution levels in one of my cities was over 3000 with a population of over 130,000 which dwindled when i move buildings around before the previous update. Population dropped to around 54,000-58,000. Now after Wednesday's update the population of the same city is constantly changing between 17,000-28,000. Strangely enough the population actually got up to 45,000 Friday before it dropped to 18,000 mid-day...Can somebody explain that? Happiness level is close to 2000. There's definately something wrong here.

I go back to when it was just & lol, kit, & ttyl!
Add me if you want...i might accept or i might not accept...who knows?
