Could you build this?
Partial While an AI coding assistant can scaffold simulation logic, building a full tycoon management game requires significant game engine architecture, state machines, balance tuning, and graphic assets.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a game engine like Godot or Unity with C#/GDScript or an advanced web canvas setup (PixiJS/Three.js). Core challenges include developing a robust discrete-event simulation engine for power/cooling networks, grid-based pathfinding, and intricate economic simulation balancing. Game design and asset creation are essential and cannot be purely vibe-coded.
