Update to that, went back to my original game and I'm not an idiot, my off-the-grid lot eco footprint arrow is moving toward industrial.
I have no cc on that lot btw - have not used cc in Everest Harbor at all.
The only items I have that take power or water are: 1x sink, 1x toilet, 1x fridge, 1x shower, 1x computer - all of which I bought with the highest consumption rating and all have been fully upgraded.
All materials used were the most eco friendly. Electrical items are fueled with bio insect fuel. 70% of the lot is covered in greenery and gardening.
In the new game I tried, I recreated that except didn't upgrade all the stuff cuz I didn't have time.
In both games, both the Quarry and the off-the-grid lot are moving toward industrial eco footprint despite all my efforts.
