Service demand change

Hi everyone — I’ve noticed something unusual in my city and wanted to ask if others are seeing the same thing or if this is a bug:

In my Capital City and all regional cities, every residential building, including OMEGA zones, is showing a flat Service Demand: 1 — even though OMEGA buildings historically required 5 units per service type (power, water, sewage, waste), plus ControlNet and drones.

A few notes:

This is true for all buildings across Capital City and all regions.

The demand display is showing “1” for every building, regardless of type or region.

My total power/water/waste usage also seems to align with the reduced demand.

I’ve confirmed I’m on the latest app version (July 2025).

No mention of a change in the patch notes

Is this:

  1. A new balance change EA silently rolled out?
  2. A bug in how service demand is calculated or displayed?
  3. Some kind of A/B test or experimental feature?

Would appreciate it if anyone else can confirm whether they’re seeing this in their cities too — especially OMEGA buildings. Thanks!

    Can we please get some updates from the developers on what is going on? I'm not sure if it's safe to remove redundant utilities due to the change in service values or not. It's very unnerving and I'm getting questions from club members I cannot answer.

    Same problem here. I started deleting power and sewage because I thought it was part of the update. Then I noticed all cities and regions had the same cap. I'll be honest, after all the money I've spent if they don't make this right I'm done.
