Thanks To Swartenhengst, who copied the data, here's a list of the maximum number of busienss you can build per town. If you exceed the critical maximum, a bug in the program will make all inventory and the pruduction unavailable. Once you demolish the businesses that exceeded the citical maximum, you accumulate again goods in your warehouse, but the prior inventory is gone!


breweries 298
smelters174
workshops 285
hunting lodges 401
cattle ranches 262
grain farms 410 (who will ever exceed that number?)
hemp farms 211 (cricial maximum)
saw mills 158 (critical maximum)
apiaries 301
pottert 301
pitch maker 36
satworks 337
weaver 154
vinyards 237 (critical maximum)
sheep farms 231
brickyards 179

Edit: Thanks to Ugh!'s comment I changed the language to critical maximum for the known maxima. Please post here if you know of any other maxima. If you are moderator, please edit this post and add a notation (critical maximum) to it after changing the number.

edit 2: after playing on a very difficult map, Fruehe Gruenderzeit by Frank I found new save maxima. I will update them as the game goes on

brick yards: 220
pitch maker: 80

these maxima have only been tested in P III V 1.1

@ Baltic Trader:
Do you mean to say you want me to put down more than 158 sawmills in my Scarboroguh and replace all those nice grain fields? Let's see, 6 builders @ 10 days/sawmill for 150 units = 267 days.
Required resources: 480,000, small change; 4,000 bricks, done in two weeks; 320 ew: no problem, 320 timber: at least some use for the huge surplus; wasting 3 hours of real time: priceless.

And have a nice day yourself yoo.

I'd rather totally demoralize rookie.

I'm glad P III allows you to play without the CD; that saves the DVD drive. But, it appears that the patch does not install on games off pirated CDs.

Zitat

@Bizpro: Humbling Rookie? Are you the guy who beats up on kindergartners, too?

For adding in all those nasty surprises, and we know the real author, he, rookie, is due for some punishment. As he admitted himself, he has problems coping with the demons he called upon.

To really test the difference in the max buildings I would have to restart a new game in P III to ensure it’s free of inherited bugs. Unfortunately I deleted, together with last years contest files, all other old files so none are left. If anybody wants to donate an advanced game started in P III I would appreciate it.

Emerald:

The hemp farm limit was changed, IIRC based upon experience from Ugh!

I use pitchmakers to build up the population to get more building crews. It's a lot faster with 10 crews working, especially if you have lots of sheepfarms and weavers to build
