Description:
Services Not Local

Makes Services not local, but still not tradable.
Note: Services will appear as banned on the world market — this is intentional.


Overview

Services are already produced automatically by urban centers and subsistence farms — they’re unavoidable and essential.
In vanilla, these services are artificially restricted to local use, which chokes economic flow and limits how Pops access them.
This mod removes that limiter.


Gameplay Impact

Making Services nationally available means Pops across the country can now consume what’s already being produced:

  • Stabilizes needs satisfaction
  • Improves infrastructure utility
  • Makes your economy more coherent

You’re no longer punished for having urban centers that serve more than just their own tile.


Historical Logic

Rural areas historically benefited from nearby cities’ services — education, law, finance, transport.
This mod simulates that real-world spillover.
Produced in cities, felt everywhere.

inspired by @kngrichard mods:
power plant not local
transportation not local
