How They Work in Tropico 6

Essentially, they are a set amount of money that your nation spends on a building in Tropico 6. Each building has a separate budget that can be changed to alter the effectiveness of it and how it affects the citizens in the surrounding area.

Higher budgets allow buildings to be more productive or offer better services to the population, with lower budges of course having the opposite effect.

When it comes to how it affects the people that use such buildings, a higher budget at production based developments will give the staff higher wealth ratings, making them more likely to pay for housing you’ve produced that asks for higher rent.

However, rent costs and budgets for housing can be tricky to get right in Tropico 6. Increasing budgets for them will increase rent costs, which cuts of lower wealth citizens from affording them.

Of course, more important buildings will have higher upkeep figures and you need to balance desired output with what you can afford to pay for their upkeep. You can also change each building’s work mode, which also alters the upkeep amount but can benefit the population or productiveness.
