Yes. Reducing workforce demand reduces the workforce demand. Reducing heat demand reduces the heat demand. Those two effects don't interact, and nothing in the game implies they would.

If you're getting this confused with the slider for reducing a building's throughput (which reduces both workforce and heat demands, also input demand and output production), note that this very implicitly scales down the operations of the building whole i.e. less greenhouses of a district are actually active. Less workers doesn't automatically reduce the heat demand of the greenhouses themselves.

something needs to be clarified, the amount of net workforce doesn't dictate the heat consumption, reducing the workforce usage of districts using warehouses and hubs will not reduce the heat demand

These are really great tips. I will say about Equality, that the benefit of the trust and tension bonus is they act like moral capital, making stuff like emergency shifts more tolerable, or allowing more of them before they lead to repercussions. Everyone suffers together.
Rushing researchers is especially strong. Additional Institutes have diminishing value, but from my use every one has a separate Rush Researchers that all give the same boost. No more cycling a pair through night shifts, but heatstamps are still the ultimate limiter like you said.

Good rundown of the ideology meta atm, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the AWESOME guide, very very well written and cohesive. Super helpful for someone learnin FP2(or FP) for the first time, I came from Age of Empires and Yes Your Grace, this is a whole new ballgame :D knocked it out of the park bro, HOMERUN!

There's a chance for an accident if the generator is at 80% or more overheat, with a gurantueed critical accident if it hits 100%.So 0 to 80 % overclock is free.

isnt overclocking damaging the generator? i remember something like that so its not free... no?

I agree that there are specific use cases for using Promote/Condemn, but explaining those in detail would exceed the attempt to be quick & brief, so I just summarized it to the most applicable tip to new players.

Promote/Condemn is really useful if you want to go all the way with a specific faction. There's no downside to having a low relationship with someone, only high Fervour has any consequences at all. If you're supported by the adjacent faction, you can spam Condemn and immediately Deradicalize them to completely destroy their population with no downsides; even more so when you get access to Secret Police and can make people disappear. By doing that and promoting your chosen faction, you can pretty easily control public approval.

If you're only passing laws that align with your faction's ideals, you can guarantee that every law you want is going to pass, and conversely, any law one of the opposite factions proposes will fail. You need to keep the faction adjacent to the one you're oppressing happy so you can Deradicalize them, Granting Agendas is a great tool for that since any law they propose is guaranteed to fail. You just need to make sure to plan around the laws you need to pass.

Fair point, the cornerstone being the extreme that goes beyond even the 'radical' ideas, might go a bit too far. I was mostly referring to the earlier laws in that regard, which pretty much boil down to 'treat workers fairly' vs 'exploit workers'.
