resources increasing/decreasing

[TechLord]

This may help micromanagement a lot.The ideea is simple, we need to know if our income of basic resources (coal ore, iron ore, fir wood, etc) is greater or smaller than the use of them.
Example:
- basic mode: when you click Mayors house there should be an arrow on the bar that now says how many fir wood you have. if the arrow points up then the sawmills and cooking plants consume less fir wood than the cutters produce.if the arrow points down...
- advanced mode: same ideea but enhanced. when you hover the mouse on fir wood a pop-up should appear saying how many get produces per hour (or per day) and how many get consumed in the same interval.

what do you think??

I don’t think it matters too much on how they do it, just so long as they do something that lets us manage our resources easier without guessing or finding out 2 hours later you need another coking plant. Which they have already said they will:

Economic overview:

A new window will give you a good overview about your economy and the productions chains. Furthermore it shows the efficiency of every single resource production and the consumption. E.g. you will see how much coal is produced every hour and how much coal is needed per hour, depending on the current needs of your economy. Thus, you can identify emerging bottle necks and initiate counteractions in advance.
