Need more death info.

[Fiend]

I've been away from the game for a few months, and just started playing again recently.
With the introduction of crime, water & sewage, the game has got considerably harder, and the minimum viable population for a town is something like 1000 now, rather than 500 or so.
The biggest frustration though is unexplained deaths. The game gives far too little information about where and why people are dying. I regularly experience sudden bouts of deaths with no explanation.
My town of around 800 has reliable heating, hospital, food, etc.
Citizens are not complaining (other than pub, electronics, sport).
Average health 70-80%.
Pollution is not high.
Sewage is not overflowing.
Water quality is 99%.
Global events are off.

The game is just giving me no useful information here.

Can we please have:
- Recent deaths added to overlay.
- Some report giving common causes of death. Maybe at the hospital or police station.
- A single button to switch off auto-migration for the whole map.

Cause of death statistics would be cool, +1000

I agree that this would be helpful, but it may not be so easy to do - the way I understand the game works deaths because of starvation, lack of water, alcohol, pollution or freezing are technically all happening because that conditions draw from the health a person, until it reaches zero here and dies (death of old age, disease events or by crime might be an exception). So you could probably store what took away the last "health point" of a citizen (and would likely have some misattributed reasons for death) - or you would have to somehow track for each individual what factors have reduced health by what amount over life time and then give that out as reason for death (which might be more accurate, but sounds like a performance nightmare for the game).

But as said - if somehow technically possible, getting this info would be great.

Very interesting proposal. In general I agree we have way too little information and statistics available. Also, what about an annual report? Generated each year and really looking like a ”report”

When you are not sure of the sudden deaths cause, then it is that "not high pollution". In my experience now it affects much more even in low levels, since it was changed something in people's reaction some patches ago.

Yesterday i had the same idea!!
Please add death reason as detail

[Owlchemist]

Yeah I had a big death spiral and it took me hours to figure out why (after it happened again while I was paying closer attention) - water shortage due to population growth. Just sorta sneaks up in you without any notifications.

Happiness also affects life expectancy, in theory lack of electronics can kill the people .

Cause of death should come with a new building "cemetery."

I'm having flashbacks of the horror that was cities skylines deathcare, lmao. Though I imagine W&R could pull off such a system better. Not a bad idea.

We really need deathcare in WR:SR. It's weird how the dead magically disappear.
Cemeteries would store the dead at the expense of taking up land.
Crematories would take up less space at the expense of pollution.
Hearses would be introduced.

Maybe YOU do not want it, but there definitely will be other people who would want it.

In all seriousness, I would love this.
