Re: Natural Disasters... automatic rebuilding?

[Thoughts & Prayers]

I was just wondering if I have to bulldoze everything that the disasters destroyed or will they clear and rebuild themselves?

[Thoughts & Prayers]

I'm reading things like this:
"Disaster Response Unit will fly into action, checking the wreckage for survivors and making it safe for buildings to be rebuilt by the city’s people"

I've been waiting for a while to see them rebuilding but so far I don't see anything being rebuilt.

same for me and at this point it is just too stressfull to destroy everything and rebuild it. The response unit don't response to anything

No, what they will do is restore the rubble to a 'Rebuildable state'. Once it is rebuildable, you can then click on it to rebuild it if you wish to. It does not rebuild itself.

Yeah but they don't send out cars or helicopters or anything at all. I will have to try building another one or something. Seems like this building is just an empty hull

[Thoughts & Prayers]

Okay I just hovered over the icon explaining what is wrong with the building and it says it will automatically rebuild once there's a demand for it so I used a mod and increased the demand and they're all rebuilding by themselves. GOT IT!

My tsunami'd city now looks like Detroit.

But you can just clear collapsed building without it being in a "Rebuildable state"... is it just there for "fun"?

Sure you can clear it or leave it as a memento if you wish lol, but I would prefer a free rebuild to having to pay to plop a new one.

They do in my game. Check that the response building itself is functioning. Any damage caused that interrupts power to the building for example will render it useless, so you have to monitor that and act quickly to restore it. Then just allow the units time to go out and reach each and every damaged site, which can be many of course. There is a short cooldown while they work at each rubble site, 'searching for survivors'. Once that is complete, you'll see the turquoise 'ready to rebuild' icon. Then you can click on the site and select the Rebuild option if you wish. The rebuild is almost instantaneous and costs nothing.

The tornado scenario is kinda stupid. It takes a population of 5500 to be able to build the road maintenance office (without all unlocked at start).
Before you can get close to 5500, several tornadoes have already destroyed most roads. You now have to manually rebuild all roads which is utterly tedious. Waiting to hit 5500 for the automatic repair units won't work.

I hope that they'll add a "repair/rebuild everything" order button. A dialogue could then show the estimated cost and let you accept or dismiss.
Manually rebuilding every destroyed wind power turbine and sh*t will make this a tedious affair.
