4 City Cluster Prepared by Adekyn

Production Plan

A 4 city cluster will take all 4 cities to a population of 115,000 and beyond with a total of 11 unique city industries supported by 13 farms and mines. All farms, mines, and
industries should be upgraded to level 4 to maximize coverage and support rapid growth. * Leather "comes along for the ride" and is produced from the outset by the Meat
Industry, so you do not need a second Meat industry at 85,000 population to support Leather.
Total Cities in This configuration would theoretically support 100% demand satisfaction. A demand satisfaction over 60% is required for city population growth. This assumes that the cluster
Cluster 4 provides all the manufactured goods; none are shipped in from other cities.
