Balancing buildings for features turned off.
I play with electricity turned off because I don't enjoy handling the logistical bottlenecks of electricity. But this creates a problem because I use a lot of modded buildings that are balanced to take power consumption into account.

My most requested feature is probably a way for buildings to be balanced in two ways. One is letting modders list how the consumption and production of the building should be changed if electricity or sewage or trash is turned off, and the game adjusting it if the player plays without those things.

The other is a way for the game to rebalance buildings automatically somehow. Both production buildings and maybe housing, since all the housing I have installed is a mess of number of apartments, cost of building, amount of steel used, space taken up, lifespan of building, and quality of housing. This is probably much harder but I would like if I could override the building's original stats with some pre defined arc of how the trade offs would work. So for example it would look at the space taken up, the number of housing units, and the quality of housing, and then generate a new cost (particularly in steel for more dense buildings) and lifespan that makes sense for the game's balance.

Or, instead of giving huge amounts of work to other people, you can play the game as it´s supposed to be played?

Electricity is the BASIC utility, easiest to design/build and as if my memory serves me right, it is also the oldest utility out there. With multiple sets of switches and underground cables options it is a piece of cake, absolutely easy to place and play with.

Or do you have everything else (water, sewage, fuel, waste) off, too, and you are playing only on easiest mode possible? Because what is a bit of a hassle is water+sewage and all the other stuff, not electricity. And if you have even that thing off, you are probably having many others off, too, and that basically cuts you off from the beauty of this game.

If hardcore management of dozens of resource types and worker care is not your cup of coffee, this game might not be the best one for you to enjoy.

I play with everything but electricity and heating. Do you work for the company or are you just a nuisance on the steam forums? I heard another person like that had an absolute meltdown and went after the devs, which is gross, so I don't have much tolerance for those kinds of people anymore.
