If there are any open Dilemmas in which some Districts have Allocated but others have not, then revert all of the Allocations made in Reactions to that Dilemma (while upholding that those Reactions were legally undertaken if they were otherwise legally undertaken). If any District has bought Connections that they would not be able to afford had those Allocations not taken place then also revert the purchase of those Connections.
Remove the word “Allocating” and the phrase ‘who they Allocated to and’ from the rule Reactions.
In the rule Innovation, change the phrase ‘Allocate when Reacting’ to ‘React’ wherever it appears.
Rewrite the rule The Grid to read ‘Each District has a publicly tracked value for Energy Trap, which defaults to zero’.
Now that any illusion of choice has been stripped away from Allocating, it’s a completely inert mechanic that just inflates Connections at a slightly unmanageable rate. There’s nothing interesting about gaining a flat 2 energy a day so let’s bin it off; the Upside should suffice to lump progression into the system.
feels like this would make progression too slow
