mass transit idea

[a_chinchilla]

I think that instead of having mass transit be just plus 1 health, that it would make sense to have it reduce pollution from population by some percentage (50%?) and be available earlier (steel or combustion?). Additionally, to balance this, i think that recycle plant should likewise be a % reduction.

If not possible to do a % reduction because of coding, I at least think mass transit should be both more of a health boost and also be available earlier.

Thoughts?

edit: I meant unhealthiness, I just think of it as pollution. My bad for not being clear there.

I was just about to open a thread about the 'Recycling Centre' when I saw this one.

I do not think it is realistic that the recycling centre should reduce all pollution from buildings. It would be better if it only reduced it by a % as suggested above.

Late game it can get rid of a lot of unhealthy faces - making it IMO to strong an effect.

How about changing it to either reduce faces by 50% instead of the current 100%.

Yes, with all new resources and building giving .
Anyway if recycle center really would clear all pollution from building, than such cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York would be seen from sky, now instead for cities you see dark cloud

reducing pollution by %? you mean reducing unhealthy, right? (there is no pollution concept)
must check code, but i think that this need some changes in SDK....anyway it is interesting idea (ie mass transit -xx%, recycling center -yy%, solar plant -zz% etc...)
