While playing Tropico 4, I'm noticing that my buildings will occassionally have a "sunburst" appear above them. I'm guessing this is a good thing, but what does it mean?

    It looks like an umbrella to me...

    @Dan I know it isn't part of the building graphic, because it comes and goes over various different buildings.

You've moved El Presidente there and he/she is boosting building efficiency.

(Slightly late edit: When not directed specifically, El Presidente moves as he/she wishes and will occasionally visit a building to boost without being told to)

    Since I don't recall ever specifically sending El Presidente to those buildings, I assume if I haven't given her a specific location to go, she just walks around and visits buildings at random?

  • I don't think your edit is late at all

  • Wouldn't a female president be "La Presidenta"?

  • The game always refers to you as 'Presidente' regardless of gender. Limit of the engine, I suppose, or maybe they didn't want to record almost every single voice line twice.
