I understand that you may wish for the game to be something other than what it is but neither you nor I are in control. Indeed, many players play this game for the aesthetics alone that are possible with the game. And there is nothing wrong with aesthetics. They and Paradox put their money where their mouth is, took a risk, and it paid off. They have a vision and plan for their game they may listen to our wishes, but it is their game. As much as we may wish for the game to be something other than what it is, it will only be what the devs want it to be. I agree that this would be nice but it is not and never has been and probably never will be what the devs want to do with their game. There are no poor in the game there are no rich. It's not, IMO, the devs style nor their vision for the game. Let's face it, there will never be a class driven game play in this game. It makes it so much easier to come up with small details and those small details are the ones that makes the building interesting to look at. For me it has always been very important to take into consideration what the building needs to actually work. There’s air-source heat pumps, ventilation and watering pipes and solar panel roof tiles that play small but very important role on how the building is functioning and thus how the building looks. There’s also those little visual flavours that come from the environment friendly technology. It’s safe to say that there’s nothing really adventurous when it comes to color, but to be honest, I really like it that way and along the overall shape of the buildings, it was something that really helped us to separate self-sufficient houses from the regular ones. Largest surfaces are occupied by different shades of wood, white or light grey concrete and natural green from plants and rooftop gardens. It is very fitting that buildings that are designed to be good for the environment, have very natural color palette. New flower trees are the rare colour spots of self-sufficient residential districts Even in tall high-rises that are mainly made out of concrete, there are usually some kind of wood panelling used to soften the look. In small detached houses and even in some of the smaller apartment buildings, wood is often the one main material. Wood seems to play almost always some kind of role in the design of Eco buildings. There’s lots of straight lines and you can kind of see the economical and ecological approach in everything. To separate self-sufficient buildings from the earlier buildings in the game, we wanted their design to be more angular and cleaner, but still without being too futuristic. You could even say that in many cases the buildings have kind of nordic design feeling in them. Lot of the smaller houses look like fancy boxes and when the bigger ones start to have larger slanted roofs, they still look very efficient and minimalistic.
Their design is often very plain and modern. When you are googling the pictures of eco/self-sufficient buildings, there are few things that you notice almost straight away. Green people should be pretty easy to spot
