Rebalanced Industries

Please don't second-load with this mod!

Second-loads (loading from in-game or quitting to the main menu and loading again) cause issues with this mod and many others and affects your performance. Always quit to the desktop before loading a second time.

• Fewer cargo trucks
  
• Fewer employees in farms, forests, mines and oil pumps
  
• Farms produce crops slower and cost less
  
• Fewer cargo trucks!
  
• More employees for Unique Factories, especially the big ones
  
• Fewer cargo trucks!!

• Your cargo traffic will start decreasing almost immediately
  
• Over-employed Industries buildings will keep their extra employees, but won't hire more until they're below the new employee count, so the number will decrease slowly as cims retire/die/etc.
  
• Under-employed Unique Factories will immediately try to fill all available positions
  
• Some buildings that haven't had deliveries for a long time seem to break and never get deliveries, so will need to be rebuilt
  
• I recommend letting your city run for couple of days for traffic and storage to adjust

• With smoother traffic warehouses are more effective, but with less frequent deliveries they are even more important - you will probably need fewer, but I recommend having at least 1 for each cargo type in each district
  
• Extractor warehouses (that hold raw materials; barns, silos, log yards, oil tanks, etc) are cheaper, have fewer trucks and employ fewer people, but hold more to ensure larger, less frequent deliveries/collections can be handled
  
• Other warehouses hold more Industries cargo, have slightly fewer trucks and cost more since you will probably need fewer.

• Crop trucks carry 3x as much; animal products and flour trucks carry 1.5x as much.
  
• Farms produce half as many crops and cost a quarter as much to build and maintain, and to supply with power, water, etc. Farms need space, build twice as many fields!
  
• Farms and pastures employ much fewer (but slightly more highly educated) people, since mechanised farming is a thing
  
• Farm warehouses (barns and silos) hold 3x as much, but have fewer trucks for fewer, larger deliveries

• Raw forestry product trucks carry 2x as much; paper and planed timber trucks carry 1.5x as much
  
• Forestry plantations employ half as many people
  
• Forestry warehouses (log yards and storage) employ half as many people, cost half as much and hold 2x as much

• Ore, glass and metal trucks all carry 1.5x as much
  
• Mines employ half as many people
  
• Mining warehouses employ half as many people, have fewer trucks and hold 1.5x as much

• Oil trucks carry 3x as much, petroleum trucks carry 2x as much and plastic trucks carry 1.5x as much
  
• Oil pumps employ half as many people
  
• Oil tanks employ half as many people, have fewer trucks and hold 2x as much

• Like other Industries buildings, unique factories have extra storage space for larger deliveries (collections are unchanged)
  
• Large unique factories employ many more people (e.g. the steel plant employs 150 people, instead of 66)
  
• Unique factories that employ more people cost more to maintain (but are still very profitable)

• No known incompatible mods
  
• All Industries buildings' temporary storage is increased to handle larger truck loads
  
• Can be disabled safely, the "What happens when enabled" process will happen in reverse
  
• Rebind is compatible with Maximilian's Farms assets - highly recommended!
  
• Industries district milestones require few employees (should be just as difficult to achieve)
  
• Train, ship and plane cargo loads are also reduced. This is less noticeable, but cargo terminals in Industries districts typically work more smoothly
  
• Few cargo trucks means fewer vehicle agent used - large cities will run a little better
  
• Read Avanya's Industries guide to learn how to make great Industries districts

• The building info panel that pops up from the toolbar when plopping buildings gives the old values for trucks/employees/etc. If anyone knows how to alter this, please contact me.
