With the promise of automation, I was looking forward to having certain jobs fully automated. Imagine my disappointment when I learn that we can only achieve 50%. Now it has been some time and I have a solution in the support districts. Instead of the support districts giving worker and trader jobs, the support districts could instead provide Support Technicians. I.E. Grid Technicians for Generator Districts. Mining Technicians for Mining Districts. Agriculture/Aquaculture Technicians for Agriculture/Aquaculture districts, a Worker Support district with Labor Technicians for all worker jobs, and specific support districts for every district with Urban jobs. Specialist Support. Factory Support. Industrial Support. Research Support. Bureacracy Support, etc. And just for fun an Elite Support job to put those pesky upperclass folk out of their jobs.
These jobs would produce a flat value of automation workforce for their appropriate jobs. These are the remote workers and repair crews for the automated systems. Each support district would increase the energy upkeep of the supported jobs to represent the additional power upkeep of the active automated systems. With enough of them to fully employ the available jobs, automation workforce can potentially rise above 100% and start receiving suplus workforce bonuses. And yes, Support Technician output should scale off of specialist job efficiency. The more efficient your specialists, the more effective they should be at managing the automated systems for the jobs they are supporting. For balance reasons, support technician jobs should not be able to be automated, although having the automation jobs be automated would be hilarious.
P.S. Please rename the current Technicians to Electricians. Technician is a very broad term.
