A simple power total consumption graph (overlay for the production graph) that can be enabled to compare the total consumption to total production of power.

This would be helpful because it allows you to view where you power is seeping below the consumption graph. It is far more intuitive that just ...

In essence, I think there should be small outposts ran by AI players that compete for resources.

They would be small, but they would slowly grow (in need of balancing, but the idea is fun), and over time they start using their resources to claim other resources and expand their borders and whatnot ...

Fetch trick

Well yes you can do that but it would be easier with the options that I proposed in my post, let alone the fetch tactic is very limited.

First there needs to be a second mode for the train to be active on, where it just goes where you tell it without needing to activate the auto mode. (so it doesn't just leave you after a designated amount of time, and never being able to get it back until it does its roundabout)

Also to add to this ...

Dual screens could be used to display your local production menu and have a tab at the top to swap between that, the map and any other details that you come up with.
