Thanks for the detailed feedback, I appreciate it!
The costs aren’t based on income but it does consider your potential income when deciding new costs. I can see how this can sometimes jump proportionately and feel punishing without clear communication. I’ll take this with me in the balancing pass for the next update
I hear you on the looking ahead and the feeling of being directionless as well. There is an intended balance between strategic planning and watching unexpected chain reactions, I agree that it currently leans more towards chaos.
Was that mainly because it was hard to plan ahead? Or were there also other things that made it feel that way?
