I was noticing that all my buildings build after the privatization edict....arn't actually privatized buildings and are owned by me.

So Im wondering is this a glitch?...or will somebody eventually buy them?....if the latter, is the business suppose to get excellent service in order for them to buy it?


BTW I already found a glitch in privatization edict I believe.....I get the wheel barrow on top of my privatized business and non on my other business, I even build teamsters right next to them and made my roads better,nothing works.....Anyways I put that in the wheel barrow thread.

These issues (or rather "non-issues" from the view of developers) have been already discussed here:

Buildings constructed after the privatization edict has been activated are NOT meant to become private.

The only problems we found regarding private buildings are connected to the interface and they will be resolved when possible.

The rents from private buildings even if they are industry buildings is not counted in the income from industry. Nevertheless, they still give you rent, so you should not worry.

As for the transport - that is intended behavior. Your teamsters will not service private buildings.

emphasis added.

So how can private buildings get there production out then?....it's a bug right?

The can't. IMO it is a bug or rather a serious flaw in design of this feature. Sadly the developers see it different.

Again a (IMHO questionable) design decision to make this a pure one-time thing. The deeper reasons for that haven't been communicated (yet?)

Both issues together ruin that edict for me. It is another case of a feature which does not properly fit in the rest of the game. It is just there for the sake of being there (you can say now that Tropico 3 allows a private economy - doesn't that sound fantastic?) and maybe to serve as emergency tool if you desperately need money.

The privatization edict is a one time thing. it only work ones per game and you can't re-issue it afterwards.
