Version 2.1.5

  • Residents start companies again: professionals can open any kind of business, founders look further from home for opportunities, and unemployed residents are much more likely to start their own
  • In a brand new city, new buildings open at an affordable starting rent. Once the city has rents, new buildings follow them
  • Business owners who are losing money now give up gradually over the months, instead of many closing at once
  • Newcomers are drawn to the city by its unfilled jobs and empty homes, so more people move in when there is work and housing for them
  • Businesses plan their staff from what their own workers produce, so less productive businesses no longer shrink for no reason
  • Departure reasons are more accurate: a move is only blamed on taxes or other problems when they actually caused it
  • Farms need fewer workers, and farmers markets and food truck parks are cheaper for developers to build
  • Fire stations need fewer firefighters to respond to a fire
  • Fixed an error when inspecting some bus stops
