Summary	0017072: Crime and Litter
Description	The effect of litter on crime and then crime on death is too high. I believe the solution is to swap how many people are killed by crime and are injured by crime. Also cap the amount of crime caused by litter, or at least apply a nonlinear transformation. In the forum someone posted about a disaster where they bulldozed a dump before their replacement dumps were online and this caused a death spiral. I experienced the same thing. Destroy the dumps, starts killing. The graveyards then fill and the process continues. For laughs, in the attached save, destroy the dumps. You may need to turn off the recycling plants for a few turns first.

Chris_McElligottPark Jun 4, 2015 10:05 am administrator ~0041668	Thanks! * Changes to prevent crime death spirals: The effect from litter and unclaimed bodies on crime is now 10x lower than they were before, to help prevent death spirals from them. The chance of death from crime is now 1/3rd what it previously was.
