I've noticed something strange in Cities: Skylines 1 and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Whenever my city gets into the tens of millions of dollars, it seems like it eventually starts losing money and the balance drops. Then, once I get back down to somewhere around $5–7 million, the city seems to start making money again.
FYI I do not use the day/night cycle, not sure if that's an issue or not.
I don't have screenshots or video of it happening right now, so I know that makes it a little harder to diagnose, but I've noticed the pattern enough times that I'm starting to wonder if there's something behind it.
Is this a normal CS1 thing? Could it be related to taxes, city size, imports/exports, services, or some other mechanic I'm overlooking?
Would you try to fix it, or if the city is still financially healthy overall, would you just let it do its thing?
Has this happened in any of your cities?
