honestly i like the new zone system
this is the zone you start with, there is no nneed to keep it. It can be replaced with another zone of your choice if it has no buildings. personally i like to get rid of it asap as its inefficent and holds you back. sadly its not easy to see how to replace, click ob the middle of yuor city district to access menu.
"Early Industry Zone" sounds like something that needs to be deleted. At the very least, they should rename it to something more refined, like "Capital Industry Zone." The current name is at the very least harmful from a roleplay perspective. Having an EARLY Industry Zone in the capital of my empire, which has conquered the entire galaxy, is ridiculous. They should either nerf it significantly to match the name (it's the most profitable zone in the game, and replacing it with anything else is simply irrational) or rename it.
