Hi, long-time lurker here. This is one of my favorite games on this forum, but the pollution bug was wrecking it for me a bit. I know Dingotush said not to report bugs here, with good reason. I don’t have a discord account though, and don’t really want to start one just for this. Maybe someone could please pass this over to Discord for me, then you can delete this poorly-placed post if you want.
I poked around in the code. I don’t have a great grasp of it; I’m not familiar with the language (programming or linguistic). Still, I think I found the problem. Looks like you’re really expected to write multiple pro-environment articles at the University; there’s no other realistic way to stop pollution from steadily rising. The catch is, I think there’s a coding error there. The script file has "if poptt >= lecteurss: " as the trigger for a successful environmental article. Tracing those two variables, it looks like your article is more likely to succeed and catch on…if you are LESS famous and LESS intelligent, relative to your town’s population. I think they meant to do "if poptt <= lecteurss: " You can be the queen and pass all the environmental measures you want, but by then you’re too famous and it’s too late to stop the pollution from rising.
