I accidentaly built one too many skycrapers, 273 in total and it's now draining 550k. Since there's no way to remove skyscrapers is there a way I can fix this or just give up?

I guess you could say that, 273 skyscrapers across the mountains of western afghanistan with 1.3M employess sounded too cool to resist

I like the literal reading of the OP that 272 skyscrapers would have been fine, but accidentally building 273 instead caused all these problems.

Once your first skyscraper is built, you can't have any more. However, if you queue up many skyscrapers in the construction queue before you finish the first one, you can plan out as many as you want and they will stay in the queue even after the first is completed. (Bug?)

I always assumed skyscrapers levels were supposed to be the number of floors in one skyscraper.

And I was feeling pretty with my level 10 skyscraper lmao. How can you even "accidentaly" build precisely 273, it's not even a round number. Also, can you see it from space?

OP: Help, my people are dying! How do I balance my budget?!
PDX Forumites: Spend less money on SKYSCRAPERS.
OP: NO.

If you want an actual solution:
Go to the game files, open buildings/07_government.txt, search for building_skyscraper and set downsizable = yes
Alternatively, if you want all the construction to not be spent in vain you could try adding is_government_funded = no to bg_skyscraper in building_groups/00_buiding_groups.txt. The building should then fire all the workers, but you could later subsidize it once you have enough cash.

Me when I learn you can have more than one skyscraper:
Does the bureaucracy bonus stack when you have more in a single province?

Yes, and it saves you a ton of money as long as you don't build 273 of them.

To anyone asking whether you can build more than one skyscraper: it's a bug.
To OP: live by the bugs, die by the bugs. Or try not exploiting bugs next time.

Ah, I remember the sweet times when I built 10 Panama canals. I thought that since the game lets me do that, this represents something like gradual completion (so I needed maybe 100 of them?) Was pretty disappointed when it worked instantly. Although it's fun to think that I dug the country through and through. I guess someone big enough could play tic tac toe on these newly-created... landscape elements.
