⚡️More municipal electricity progress⚡️
Substations (the steel building, temp art) will be needed to transform electricity the buildings can use. If there are not enough, the buildings furthest away will lose power.

Stress testing: Rendering (max) 100K units and simulating all of them.
There was a bottleneck with the A* setup I was using for indoor pathing that limited the number of units processed without causing FPS stuttering. 🧵

Coloring roads to show specific businesses' customer reach (compressed distance to show color range).
Probably should not use strict color palette for this feature 🤔🥉

🔊Adding more sounds to Metropolis 1998.
I've been attempting to implement CTRL-Z, but not sure if this will happen before EA.
I also resolved the GPU bottleneck and improved the FPS by 20x-30x.

Experimenting with the color space. Thoughts???
I recently watched a documentary from the 70s. That inspired me to modify the color palette to reflect the color space of analog film. This isn't the final result, but I find the results interesting. Maybe a second option
