Thank you so much, pal. I'm humbled by all the compliments. Keep safe. :)

You make my morning bright. Thanks a lot, daz. Glad to hear from fellow console players. Cheers!

Thank you, Patrick. Your comment means a lot.

Thank you so much, Mike. Really appreciate your kind words.

You're most welcome. Thank you too 😀

I agree, that's really an annoying downside for oil and ore industry. You did it right, importing the material is the only option. Turning the cheat "unlimited oil" is useless if its already depleted. Thanks for the insight. Cheers.

Glad to hear it! Thank you too. :)

It's always a pleasure. Thank you too! 😊

I agree. A good road network will definitely help. I have a truck road in one of my cities.

I disagree. Industry DLC is way down on my list of desirable DLCs (7th in the list of 9). The reason why is that it's so unrealistic and makes your city look very toy-like. The fields and most of the buildings are way too small, and they generate way too much traffic. And they're just a very inaccurate simulation of each industry. For example, why would you want an oil industry that doesn't even generate any gasoline or diesel fuel for your city's vehicles? It makes a false distinction between oil (crude) and petroleum (a processed product)... in real life they're the same exact thing. The petroleum refinery takes (processed) petroleum as an input, it should take crude oil and produce gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, etc. The oil power plant takes crude oil, it should take (refined) fuel oil. And you can't build any pipelines so all the crude oil and derivative products have to be trucked around. The whole industry makes no sense at all. And the income fluctuates a lot. You're better off not buying the DLC and just using the base game's zoned industries and offices.

@@dlwatib uh? If you think oil industry must delivery on your own city IRL, that were you wrong. Even in my country, we have biggest oil industry yet we didnt use for our owned usage. We still bought from Iran and other Middle east countries. And there are countries that didnt extract crude oil yet processing it and sell to other such as Singapore. For based generic industry in based game, its kinda boring and only produce pollution.

So glad to know that. Thank you so much, Alex 😊

Thank you so much 🤗

So happy to hear that from a fellow console player. Thanks, Regis. When I look back at my first city, I could say, I improved. And you will too. Let's build together. :D

Thank you so much. Welcome aboard! :)

You're welcome! Thank you too. :)

Glad you like it. :) Appreciate you, man.

Thank you so much. As a starter, it is best to keep it on balanced. Fill or empty can create gaps on the supply chain.

@@RickyKingPlays understood. thanks

@@RickyKingPlaysI’ve been testing it for a while, and when I keep it at balanced, it just fills it up without selling anything, even when I put it on empty. Fix? This is also happening to my warehouses storing petroleum and plastics.

Thank you so much, Christopher. I'm using VSDC, still learning thou. :)

@@RickyKingPlays thank you. the one I use gets glitchy when it compiles. That's why I was curious.

Hi Dameon. The warehouse storage setting will not affect the production, since the excess or lack of supply will be compensated by import/export. The 'empty' setting means excess supply will most likely be exported. 'Full' setting will demand import, since processors will prioritize factories and not the warehouse. I usually set the warehouse to 'balanced', and not much bothered by how import/export works.

@@RickyKingPlays or ok cool... thanks

You can think of this as what is known in the real world as a re-order point. A reorder point in any supply chain is the point at which new order of a good will be placed so that supply never reaches zero. Let’s say an Apple store in Denver Colorado sells 100 iphone 12s a month and it takes two weeks to receive a shipment, the store would reorder at 50. Is my math right? Empty, reorder is at empty (which means as stated above that excess supply is exported). Balanced, reorders at 50% and Full reorders at 80%. This becomes important when maintaining an efficient supply chain. If my extractors are showing “no buyers” maybe I need to set the storage facility near my extractors to full. If I have a small warehouse supplying plastic to both the modular house and car factories and they shut down because they don’t have enough plastics, maybe I need to (a) use a larger warehouse or (b) set the warehouse to full, or both. The size of the warehouse is important because of the number of trucks. I could have a full small warehouse but if all the trucks are out then my factories will wait longer for resupply. The length of the journey and traffic flow can also effect production even if import and export is underway. I place storage facilities at each point in the supply chain. Near extractors, special goods producers, unique factories, and in my commercial districts (unique goods and zoned commercial goods). This way I always have a supplier of a resource or good near my special goods producers anna unique factories. But it also helps improve traffic flow by reducing the footprint any individual truck makes on the road network.

@@Hubbubb22-citiesskylines to piggyback off your wonderful info. If I set a warehouse to balanced. It SHOULD be at 50%. If it is NOT, then I know either I need to invest in more trucks, or slow productions. You ALWAYS want 1 truck available at a facility for any emergency supplies phone call. And if the facility cannot provide enough trucks with it SET at 50% its a good way to measure the flow of things.

@@austinteed3248 love this... question, because I play PC. I wasn't aware the number of trucks changed with the level full setting. That's why I would swap out for a bigger warehouse is I ran out of trucks. OR... When you have it at a certain setting (empty, balanced, full), does that influence how often the trucks are in use, and thus whether trucks are on-hand?

its better space not because noise pollution rather traffic relieve

It's just the noise pollution range. It's up to you on how you will space the rigs, as long as they are within the "black" area.

@@RickyKingPlays Thanks for the reply, love your vids they have really helped me visualise the chains.

It seems you tried every possible way to solve the problem. Try setting the plastic warehouse/s to empty for some time, like for four weeks, and see if there's an improvement. Try relocating the factories even for a single cell away. This works for crematoriums, might work for factories as well.

@@RickyKingPlays Thanks for the viable solutions. I'll give them a try. Nothing to lose at this point.

Yes, sure. I'll do it next. 👍

If your looking for a temperate map, try Shady Strands. It has lots of connections, highways, rail, and ships on both sides.

@@RickyKingPlays thankyou so much!. i love your vids! i love how you reply to evreyone!

@@thegalacticgamer4344 Glad you liked them. Thank you too. I reply as much as I could, a simple gesture to show my appreciation to everyone.

Build more processors. You can build more than one of each. It will also increase the number of workers.

Unfortunately, you can only WAIT for the supply-demand to even out. It could be that the import was already on the way before the local supply was produced. Usually the delivery takes time.

If you have a cargo hub, it will export the oil there. Otherwise they will export it thru highways. You can also set the warehouse to Empty if you want to sell and not store the oil.

Thank you , Amzal :)

@@RickyKingPlays lee hawkins mentioned you in his community tab

@@alienamzal477 Yeah, saw it on my notification. I just don't know how to reply yet. Overwhelmed. Lol.

You got to have the Ore Grinding Mill or the Rotary Kiln Plant from Ore Industry. Watch my video about Ore Industry.

Oh c'mon. Be the one who broke the 666. 😂

@@RickyKingPlays Oooo alright.. might as well sub while I'm here 😉

@@AerialEscape Thank you so much 🤗

@@RickyKingPlays my pleasure, keep up the great work!

Others find the Oil Industry useful since it generates a lot of money. Well, everybody has their own opinion. :)
