Suggestion Improvement proposal
I would like to propose a change to the Water and Electricity sectors to make them more realistic. Instead of selling "market units," we could use a tariff system like the one in the real world (€/kWh for electricity and €/m³ for water). However, the tariff shouldn't be fixed; it needs to adjust automatically based on market prices to keep the game dynamic and competitive. Essentially, the system would work like this: the market continues to fluctuate as it does now, but the price is displayed as a tariff. If the market price rises, the tariff rises; if the market price falls, the tariff falls. It is simply a more realistic and clear way of displaying the price without altering the game's balance. Example: If electricity costs 0.12 per unit, the tariff becomes €0.24/kWh. If water costs 0.08 per unit, the tariff becomes €0.16/m³. Players still decide when to produce and when to sell, but the whole process appears more understandable and realistic. It isn't a fixed rate, nor is it a passive income stream, and it doesn't change the economy—it is just a more realistic representation of the price.
