Omega Glitch and Volume Mixer
Whenever I build omega on some cities one or more of the omega factories will stay at 100 crates and doesnt create no more. I have tried turning it off and destroying it and rebuilding but it only fi...

Yea I understand all that and i build according to all those suggestions they are on high density HWY across from the factories on the side of the map where the wind is blowing off this usally happens when i build my second omega co factory and I tried to destroy it and rebuild it but no luck even have over 1k low class unemployed 600 med class unemployed and 230 high class unemployed as well. It doesnt happen all the time and not sure if this with certain maps or cities
Here is a full Omega city. The R & C are on one side, and the I is mixed in with the Omega factories on the downwind side.
See how I have two Omega factories, then a line of 7 industrial buildings? The traffic is optimized to get the trucks and drones back and forth as quickly as possible.
Here's a closeup of the buildings:
The industrial building roads have 7 medium density, medium tech buildings, then the Omega factory rows have one Omega and one drone factory. (The one with all 3 resources in it was because I accidentally plopped a drone assembly line in the Omega factory and can't get rid of the processors after fixing it)
It's important to have zero unfulfilled freight orders. Much easier to get the ratio right before you plop the Omega.
This is a small one with just a couple of Omega factories. The Omega delivery stalled a lot on this one at first, I had to do a lot of different things with traffic flow to get the deliveries to work.
Three roads of factories and two rows of Omega work out really well. I added another drone factory afterwards, because I put drones in the hospitals and police stations and needed more production.
This is how I measure - using dirt roads as a ruler:
Use a dirt road, draw a long line for the factories that costs 1440 simoleans. Then draw a perpendicular line 440 simoleans long for the width (see the width measurement in the picture). Use the rectangular drawing tool to snap a box that is 1440 x 440.
If you put roads 440 apart instead of using the grid lines, you can fit medium and high density buildings back-to-back with no wasted space in between them. A road that is 1440 long (on a flat area) should fit 7 industrial buildings or 2 omega factories perfectly as you see in the picture.
I hope this makes sense. The biggest culprits for your problem are probably traffic and population. You want the right mix of RCI and a really good traffic flow so none of the buildings ever complain that they're not getting Omega. Hope this helps!
