Many buildings just randomly damaged at once?

[Driblex™]

Hey Guys, just recently so many buildings from my town are randomly damaged, and all the same amount (around 1/3 health left) and now the repair costs are so expensive. It just happened without any specific reason. Anyone else faced this issue?

Also, now after i load my game (because i finished my last session) the same buildings are still damaged but only just a small amount...looks like a bug to me, but the repair costs are still so damn high if you count all the damages together.

I experienced similar issues when loading savefiles. Sometimes all houses will drop in desirability or all my markets and warehouses are suddenly infested with rats.

Is it something to do with storm damage?
I noticed that some of my buildings needed repair after a winter blizzard.

I dont think there was a Blizzard, but if this was really intended as a script, than the amount of the damaged buildings are too high or the repair costs. My Planks are basically just at 0 for a while, because I have to repair all the damages (+ build new things of course)

But I've also notived that aafter my reload it was shown that the damages is just around 5% arccording to the healthbar, but the repair symbol shows that the integrity is still at 33%. I think it's a bug. :(

All buildings degrade over time, but you only get notified when a building hits 33% durability. As long as you have planks and free builders they should eventually get around to fixing them.

I do agree the repair costs are a bit excessive though. I think houses might actually cost more planks to repair than they do to upgrade in the first place.

I know that buildings degrade over time, but at my game it happens for ~20 buildings at once in random places, and I'm pretty sure that not all these buildings were finished at the exact same time. :(

Yeah it is brutal sometimes, especially when you get up there in tier & population, feels buggy, you can get around it by moving the building. It is not the best workaround for military buildings, as guards will need to reequip, and stuff with a work area, which will reset so I tend not to do it on those if I can.
