Services upgrade question

Yes, your fire health, etc will need more if you used anything lower than the largest stations. I’ve lost mass amounts of population and spent millions redesigning. Water, trash and other services, you’ll need less but still requires some redesign if you want to use the ones they’ve given. 

NO THIS IS NOT TRUE

the solar power plant, for instance had capacity of 35 and residentials had demand of 1

now, fully upgraded solar power plant reaches a capacity of 180 but residential zone demand is now 35

so demand raised by a factor of 35

BUT capacity raised only by a factor o 5

in other words, you need 7 solar power plants instead of 1.

that's only for the best case (Rz), all the other building are even worse.

A lot of utilities had similar downgrades, the most remains similar, and only some omega utilities are actually better.

Oh, and if you look some months before the service update was released, they actually decreased a lot the demand of the residentials.

Basically, they let players progress further so that, when the update arrived, it created more problems to fix in a shorter time, thereby increasing in app purchases of Simoleons.

It is a deceptive and unethical practice that is subject to legal action in many countries.
