building ruined

[Tace]

ive not moved any pops and there is no pop decline... yet some buildings are ruined. the pops who worked there are unemplyed now... how can it ruin if there were workers there?

[Elitewrecker PT]

Did you replace an urban district? Buildings aren't tied to pop numbers.

[Tace]

hmm. yes i "threatened" to replace a district or two... i pressed replace so they were queued... but then i realised id lose some amenities by replacing housing districts... so i cancelled. it still messed me up though?

[Elitewrecker PT]

Shouldn't. The building should only be ruined after the urban district finished replacing.

oh right. i cancelled but it ruined anyway for some reason. should i leave my unemployed pops there so it eventually becomes repairable?

[Elitewrecker PT]

It should be repairable if you didn't lose any source of building slots (well, it shouldn't have ruined in the first place).
And the losable sources would be a civic or urban districts.

[Tace]

they arent repairable yet. no slots were lost. oh well. should i demolish or leave them?

[Elitewrecker PT]

Leave them I guess, save the building costs.
But you should investigate how many building slots you should have.

It's annoying one can't see how many excess city districts there are.

how do i investigate that?

Check other planets and compare building slots and number of urban districts

Chance are you're misremembering or misclicked, and did not actually cancel the districts, or at least not all of them.

no. i definitely cancelled them. i know i did because i cancelled them straight after "queuing" them... when i realised housing adds amenities.

...housing doesn't add amenities though?

Either way, you can check how many building slots you should have through this console command:

effect export_modifier_to_variable = { modifier = planet_max_buildings_add variable = xyz_arbitrary_name }

It'll store the number of extra building slots in a variable (and print it into the console). The 1 free default building slot is not included, which means the actual number of building slots on the planet is the variable + 1, so anything above 15 is over cap.

Those are Amenities produced by the Maintenance Drone Jobs, not the housing.

Or if you meant "housing" as in "Nexus District", then I misunderstood you, I assumed you meant from the literal housing that the district provides.
