Why in reconstruction mode is not added the possibility to sell excess buildings from the mode itself?

So the world isn't flat!
I'm sure they'll get round to it eventually.

Flat mode was available before helper on another website, used it years ago and never used helper.
Either way neither work on mobile so it's good we're getting the option on all versions of the game. Shouldn't be an issue if the game adds functionality that enhances the game that a 3rd party provides to enhance the game.

I love it on Beta - but despite the announcement, it's not functioning yet on the main servers. Any idea when it'll go live?

There was a second announcement, Doesn't specify exactly when it'll be released and updates on things are sporadic to non existant. It'll no doubt just appear at some point.

Good addition, seems to work OK.

I find it rather disapppointing. With the raster still visible on the buildings and all the icons it is not really easy to read. Also it is missing a search function.

An option to search for a specific building in the city is definitely a thing the game is missing.
You can spend so much time trying to find a small 1x1 building that you just won an upgrade for.
Maybe it's a bit easier now with the flat view, but a search function would still be really nice to have.

Nice way to find incidents on roads. And you can pick them up from the flat view :-)

These new incidents appear on single roads and overlap or as highlighted here in flat mode. At least I can find it with this mode.

Hmm, doesn't help if you have a full city, but good for finding incidents ( only thing I will be using it for ) and checking you have no unused spaces. But that's about all...why couldn't it be placed into the reconstruction mode screen, and doesn’t zoom out far enough to see whole city ( well mine doesn't ) so have to zoom in then scroll, but hey, there's now so many extra useless icons on screen why not have another one.... won't be long before you won't be able to see your city

It can be useful for rearranging your city, and, yes, finding incidents but it definitely should work in edit mode too!

They are calling it flat mode but it's not really you are still viewing it from same angle as your city, a proper flat plan would have been better, I will only use it for incidents not much else you can use it for...all that work what a waste of time.... perhaps they will give us a make inactive button, so we can close all these " extra but useless features " for me I could rid myself of so much I do not want or use which is just cluttering up the screen

I like it, nice feature but it has very limited functionality:
1. It does not show/highlight which buildings do not require a road connection. Inno really missed an important feature here.
2. Why can’t you edit your city while in flat mode? Surely the whole idea of flat mode is to make it easier to edit your city, but you can’t. As soon as you go to edit your city you exit flat mode!
All it is useful for is finding incidents in your city and finding any vacant squares.

You can edit in flat mode. You can move buildings, sell buildings and add new buildings. It also shows if buildings lack road connection.
