To change a function value to affect the Livability overlay (and indicator), look for the "Livability Effect" column and change the "Livability Effect" value for a certain construction. The overlay will update automatically.

How to change function values to change effects on the Livability:
  1. Select "Indicators" in the ribbon header
  2. Select "Function Values" in the ribbon bar
  3. The Function Values window will open
  4. Select a function in the Function Values window
  5. Change the "Livability Effect" Value for the selected function
  6. Confirm by pressing "Enter"


Adding and removing the Livability Overlay

Because the Livability Overlay is directly linked to the Livability (Quality of Life) indicator, it is currently not possible to load this Livability overlay separately. To activate the Livability overlay in you project, please see the documentation about Adding/removing indicators.
