Services and Taxes

Is there a way to see the breakdown of services and their costs?

I know the calculations are occurring on the back end, we can see that displayed in the monthly gold report.

Example:
I have 3 rat catchers (10 gold per), 2, Nightsoil collectors (4 gold per), and 2 tower guards in 1 tower (5 gold per).

The game currently applies gold to the building upkeep, not the workers.
The tower has a cost of 5 gold per month regardless of whether or not there is one or two guards. The gold is not going to guard salary, but to facility maintenance (essentially).

With my services I have:

Rats = 30 gold per month
Soil = 8 gold per month
Tower = 5 gold per month.

I would like to see

Rat A = 10 Gold (on/off)
Rat B = 10 Gold (on/off)
Rat C = 10 Gold (on/off)
Soil A = 4 Gold (on/off)
Soil B = 4 Gold (on/off)
Tower A 5 Gold (Tower A Guard A 2.5 Gold on/off; Tower A Guard B 2.5 Gold on/off)

Just out of interest: why would you like to see a breakdown in this manner? To what end would it serve?

So I can shut off resources to underutilized things and redirect them to more important things.

Let’s say I am not doing very well maintaining funding for my services, for whatever reason.

I want to take risk on rats in favor of raids.

So i can go to a central control space to pick & choose which rat catchers I turn off, so that I can redirect that gold to increase tower guards.

Rather than having to search for and find each building scrolling all over my map.

OK, the central bit…

Hoping that is just an example because I am not sure how a town big enough to need 3 rat catchers and 2 night soil collectors is being guarded by 1 tower :upside_down_face:

Actually I was just playing today and I had a ton of services being paid for and I had a negative monthly income but when I hovered over my income, it just said that I was spending a lot when what I wanted to see was, what the heck am I spending it on. I was pretty sure that I had shut off all of my services so I didn’t understand why I was spending so much gold a month. I see the value in having at least a drop down on the income to see what exactly your services are that are being paid for and how much to each one. If possible, a button would be nice to toggle you to each service so that you can see which one is costing you gold.

Also, true. A town that big would get smoked in a raid unless your builds are very tight against the town center haha

Go into Professions, remove the Rat Catchers then reactivate them individually as needed?

That doesn’t let you select which catchers to tun off. It also doesn’t let you turn on/off specific towers. The game chooses for you who gets turned on and off. Also, when reducing tower guards in the profession window, you still pay for tower upkeep. You have to go to each tower and turn it off individually.
