I had an idea of a Tropico game set in the Star Wars universe. You’d be the regional governor of a planet, and in campaign mode you’d advance to be a regional governor over multiple planets in your collection which all share resources.
Instead of Penultimo, you would have a protocol droid as your advisor named “PN-020” (Penn-Oh-two-Oh” and instead of El presidente you’d just be called “Governor.”
Just like how Tropico has 4 different “eras” that you progress through (colonial, world wars, Cold War, modern times) this game will also have 4 different eras, pre-clone wars (phantom menace time period), the clone wars, Empire/Rebellion era, and the New Republic/First Order era.
You can choose which faction you want to side with and this will have consequences, for example if you are very friendly with the separatists then the republic will invade you. Or if you are friendly with the empire then rebels will sabotage you.
Events from the movies will happen offscreen and have consequences for your planet, for example, when the Trade Federation blockades Naboo, you will no longer be able to import or export from Naboo and will have to figure out other ways to get plasma (their main export.) When Order 66 is given, all the Jedi on your planet will get attacked by clones and any Jedi temples that you have built will be destroyed, etc.
You can progress your technology level all the way until you’re able to build your own super weapon, like the Death Star, which you can use to prevent invasions permanently. You can build a “criminal palace” like Jabbas palace and host criminal syndicates to do missions for you, build a bounty hunters guild to find and arrest citizens that are criminals, build an ISB station to find and arrest hidden rebel spies amongst your population, build a smugglers den/pirate haven to go on heists and hijack cargo ships, build a Jedi temple to train Jedi, build droid factories to make various types of droids to either export or use as military, make mini cloning facilities to make your own clone army.
For entertainment you’d be able to build casinos, night clubs, opera houses, even make your own podracing circuit that can go all around your city and will attract tourism.
For industry, you could build droid factories to sell droids, starship and speeder manufacturing, weapons, furniture, hyperdrives, etc.
you’d be able to mine Kalkite, Kyber crystals, Beskar, etc. and be able to extract tibanna gas, plasma, and rhydonium.
You’d have several different planets to choose from, each with their own biome and environmental quirks, for example on Tatooine there would be dust storms and attacks by tusken raiders. On Hoth there would be blizzards and wampa attacks, on Endor there would be Ewok attacks if you have too much military, on Naboo you’d have to maintain your water pollution or else gungans will attack you, on Mustafar and Sullust there are volcanic eruptions, etc.
The different factions would be Jedi, Sith, Smuggler, Criminal Syndicate, Military, Bounty Hunter, and corporatist
Instead of axis and allies or western powers and soviets, you’d have the republic vs separatists and empire vs rebellion and New Republic vs First Order.

So that’s my idea. I think it would work extremely well, I love city builder and park builder sims, and I love Star Wars, so a game like this would be a dream come true.

Citizens of Tropico! Are you tired of vibrant, walkable neighborhoods, efficient public transit, and spontaneous human interaction? The Ministry of Housing has the ultimate solution for your modern lifestyle: The Suburb!

​Marvel at the architectural triumph of living in a labyrinth of identical houses! Why express individuality when you can live in a copy-pasted box on a cul-de-sac that makes absolutely zero topographical sense?

​Experience the true freedom of absolute Car Dependency! Why walk five minutes to a charming corner store when you can enjoy the thrill of a 45-minute traffic jam on a massive, soul-crushing stroad just to buy a single carton of milk?

​Feast your eyes on the breathtaking beauty of the Sterile Green Lawn! It’s a complete ecological dead zone that requires thousands of gallons of Tropico precious water, but don't worry, the newly formed Homeowners Association will gladly fine you $500 if a single dandelion dares to exist or if your mailbox is the wrong shade of white

​Embrace the profound isolation and deafening silence of a completely dead community! No pesky street life, no mixed-use zoning, just the soothing hum of your neighbor’s lawnmower at 7:00 AM on a Sunday and the existential dread of your daily commute.

​Move to Suburbia today! Because nothing says "El Presidente loves you" quite like spending 30% of your income on car maintenance.

The vanilla botanical garden feels really bland to me… so I decided to give mine a little makeover ^^

I feel like it looks much more appealing this way

I definitely think I need to touch some grass. I have no idea whether this obsessive need to name absolutely everything is a symptom of autism or something similar, but I’ve spent the entire day drawing county borders, naming states, and naming every building I possibly could ^^

Made more character task dialogues and got some screenshots of other Star Wars games and mods and other fan created concepts.

Kalypso media used AI art for Tropico 7 on their Website.
If I see AI art in Tropico 7 than fuck Kalypso media.
Sorry as a Graphic designer myself. I know Cutting corenrs and Using AI for some post is okey but never in the offical product or when showing off.

Here are the full photos of the parodies I made last month with some improvements and additons.

Hello! So I have this issue where the drone delivery service is not reciving drones.

I have like 5k drones in my nearest dock.

So after some hours, I now tried to build a warehouse and force one of my teamasters to place the drones in the warehouse with the setting "Allow processing" or "Storage".

The teamasters will also not move drones to the warehosue, even with the emergancy mode set. All drones always remain at the docks.

What can I do?

Edit: The drones I have in the docks are logistics drones.

Edit2: Drones have now moved to the warehouse.
Now i have a teamaster on an isloated road connected to the drone delivery system buildings (they dont have a road connection, but i connected a road anyways).
The teamster on the isolated road will not take drones from warehouse and place in the drone service. The teamaster cars drives into the warehouse, takes the drones (stock goes down) and 0.5 seconds later, the drone stock is resotred in the warehouse (so they dropped the goods immidatly) and the teamaster car drives back to the teamaster office without drones. wtf...

She did an awesome job with my OC! Of course he's a scalie but I'd thought I'd share what I Commissioned!
