Anyone else waiting for bugfixes?
Yeah.. I'm not gonna touch ECO before the major bugs are gone. Can't be the only one right? xD

I think I'll wait until Christmas to get eco living.
I agree that it works great with one family in the save. It's worse if you have two families and the other one is in a different neighborhood and you don't play this family often.
The player must understand how the green footprint works before he gets it for the whole district.
And these are very simple rules:
1. Your house bills must earn you income, not losses.
2. A communal lot must have the status of a municipal garden. The option to change the purpose of this lot is only on the board that is exactly on this communal lot. This option will not be available on another board in your district or on your mailbox.
Unfortunately, if you play with two or more families when you start a new game, you must immediately enter the gameplay option and disable NPC voting, when choosing the world. This must be done before settling the sim on the plot.
In the end, if you can't win the vote, you can use "testingtrue on' cheat and Shift-click on the board, but I don't use it.
Edit:
Power generator has an industrial footprint and you can't use it unless you want the neighborhood to have an industrial footprint. Every footprint whether green or industrial has its advantages and disadvantages
- @kreatora And how are you supposed to "earn income" on a lot if the power generation items generate negative power? These items actually INCREASE bills.
Not having them won't give you positive bills, but having them actually increases your bills so you're F'd either way.@Psychotps
You use it when you want the neutral footprint to change to industrialYou can lower your bills using power generators and by adding recycled particles to the cells in your equipment - then you will get an industrial footprint.
You can do it in an ecological way to get a green footprint.You start with a neutral footprint.
- @kreatora You misunderstand.
I completely bulldozed a lot, placed down 6 ground solar panels and 1 ground wind turbine, and nothing else. Not even a building. Just the grass, the 7 items and a mailbox. I waited until it was a sunny day in summer. Clicked on the mailbox and looked at the bills, it said "-4.93" power generation.
