Amenities

Amenities are city services that improve various aspects of your city. Placing these give bonuses (e.g. education) or reduce penalties (e.g. pollution). Each amenity has a construction cost and a maintenance cost. Costs are influenced by Density, land slope, inflation, and deconstruction of existing structures.

Effects
The benefits of each amenity are determined by effects. Effects are calculated using points, so a single building can contribute multiple points to the same effect. Additionally, a building can have more than one effect.

When placing an amenity with any Local Effects the radius of affect will be shown. The impacts of the amenity can extend slightly beyond this radius, as heatmap changes bleed outward from their source.
