Cities: Skylines 2 received a major Economy 2.0 update
me’s economic system. Patch 1.1.5f1, called Economy 2.0, aims to make the economy “more complex and transparent.”
Major changes include:
- Elimination of government subsidies for all cities
- Unlocking the “Taxes and Services” panel at the first stage of city development
- New policy “Import of city services”, which allows you to control the import of various services
- Changes in the education system that increase the chances of graduating from school
However, these changes will lead to a temporary increase in mortality in player cities. This is to prevent future “waves of death” where large groups of residents of the same age die at the same time.
The work system for residents from other regions has also been changed. They now pay no taxes, are more likely to look for new jobs, and are considered less desirable workers than city residents.
The virtual landlord system has been removed. Rents are now calculated using a new, more complex formula that takes into account land value, zone type, building level and lot size.
The full list of changes is very extensive and is available on the game’s Steam page .
This update significantly changes the gameplay, making city management more complex and realistic, which may require players to adapt to new rules and strategies for developing their virtual metropolises.
Economy 2.0 patch for Cities: Skylines 2 will be released on June 24
