At the top of the second screenshot it says "It will evolve every turn by -5% until it reaches 0%."

As I understand it will go up or down 5% unless it is less than 5% from equilibrium. Not sure how it's affected by game speed though.

The missing info is not the change per turn, but rather the uncapped current balance. It would be nice to be able to tell how much stability you have extra beyond 100% or how much you need to make up from below 0%.

No, I don't need the uncapped current balance, you can see that in the first screenshot.  I need to know the number that is causing it to go down 5%.  If you add up all the + and - from the second screenshot they ALWAYS sum up to equal.  Why is that? For instance in the screenshot it is +1270, -1270.  What I want to see is how far off from correcting this I am.  Should I add one Commons Quarter or four? 

Also, WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS EQUAL!?!?! I have zero sense of what I need to do except randomly spam Commons Quarters and remove Train Stations and other offending districts. I want a clearer picture of why I'm going down.

Alright this is very unclear, but the answer is the BASE VALUE.

In your example, you are underwater by 148. If you gain 148 stability you will get back to 100. If the base value was in the below part, that would be how much over 100 you are.

it is super unclear. Why they chose to display it like that is beyond me.

What the actual ****? So I have to take a number that isn't called out at all, Base Value, and add to it a number that isn't even listed anywhere here, 40, to find out how much I need to recover?

OMG this is next level awful.

It actually does not need a big change to make more sense. 

I tried to explain it and suggest a simple improvement in this game design post...

"Base Value"= 40 +- whatever is needed to keep result between 0 and 100

(it would be far better if they just let the target be anything (-100,+2000) and just limited the change to 0% if it would move the current out of the 0 to 100 range. [that way you could see the results])

Exactly, just show a succinct value to the user - zero reason to make the user go through any calculation - that's the whole point of the pink bar in the first place - a reference.  Let me know how far off I am from getting a non-moving bar, not just how long until I'm unstable.

Why has this not been fixed? This game is making me pull my hair out how GOOD and F#!@ STUPID it is!! It really is an amazing game, that when I come across these simple problems (this isn't the only one) that is so simple to fix, but that's been there for months or years, I feel like I'm going to explode. 

As a non-statistician & a casual player, I basically need a number showing me how many stability points I need to get to 100% and how many stability points I have over 100%.

Example: Oh wow I'm at 95% and if I build this new structure that has +10 stability points then I will be over the 100% by 5 Stability points. Great!! 

Remember, I am dumb, I cant do complex math, but I bet people like me account for 80.08% of the games you sell. Please fix this.
