Production shortages
Usually when I manage to turn things around in 2035 with drastic emission cuts and lots of political capital coming my citizens turn from happy to unhappy in a whim (-1 to -2) and oust me. Key contributor is "production shortages" coming out of the blue. All production changes I do are done in one legislatory cycle and I cannot see warnings of shortages besides cap limits. No details are given about the nature of shortages.

It happens when I phase in green hydrogen, offshore wind farms and artificial meat with a few pips each .. again all done in one LC.

Any suggestions how I can get mote details about the nature of shortages or how to deal with this issue. I do most of the projects improving people's mood as well, of course.

Thanks for any advice.

Green Hydrogen and Artificial meat use a LOT of energy.

If you're decommissioning fossil stations at the same time that's probably the cause of your woes, as you can't scale up energy infrastructure fast enough to meet the surge in demand. I would shift completely over to renewable energy infrastructure before implementing those and other high energy processes like vertical farms.

Similarly I would look at finding ways of reducing meat consumption and fuel use (which can eventually be almost entirely eliminated). You can do those things in parallel with changing over your electricity infrastructure, and it should make the transition easier.

Just boost up content all is fine even with production shortages. Be careful with replacing energy sources.

I've found this same issue, I'm trying to figure out if it's legit production sources or something else causing it. I get a -36 (down from +1) happiness modifier from production shortages right at year 2035. I tried just not changing production at all and not adding any policies and these 'production shortages' didn't emerge (save for a mild plant calorie shortage) Will get back to y'all when I have more results.
