InfoLoom

InfoLoom is a Cities Skylines 2 mod that adds new UI windows with extra information. Currently:

• Demand factors
• (w.i.p.) Demographics
• Workforce structure
• Workplaces distribution

Demand factors

• Key information about current city demographics in one place.
• Age distribution histogram that also shows cims’ activity structure.

• Shows individual demand factor VALUES for each demand type. Helpful to learn actual importance of each factor.
• Enables showing all demand factors, not only 5. Useful for industrial demand which is the only one that utilizes up yo 7 factors.
• Additional section shows directly building demand for each zone type and STORAGE demand. Please note that the “main” demand factor is actually a building demand, however UI shows it as moving. In fact it doesn’t move, it is just a visualization.
• Also, industrial demand is a higher value from the two: industrial building demand and storage demand.

 

Workforce structure

• Shows workforce structure by education level.
• Total: all potential workers, i.e. teens and adults, excluding students, that are moved in and moving away.
• Under: cims working on positions below their education level.
• Outside: cims working outside of the city.
• Homeless: unemployed cims with no home.

Workplaces distribution

• Shows available workplaces split into: city services, commercial sales, commercial leisure, industry extractors, industry manufacturing, and office.
• Leisure are commercial companies selling immaterial resurces.

Resources consumption

• This feature is disabled by default because it changes the data shown on the vanilla UI. Enable it in the config file by setting SeparateConsumption to true.
• Instead of showing surplus and deficit, the production UI will show commercial consumption and industrial consumption. It is imho much more informative than just surplus/deficit, because it also tells what causes said surplus or deficit.
• Disclaimer. I don’t yet how to change existing UI, so the titles “Surplus” and “Deficit” will still be there. Sorry.
