Do abandoned buildings sort themselves out eventually if you just leave them?
I seem to have a lot of abandoned buildings, I'm working on why but they still seem to be around.
Do abandoned buildings sort themselves out eventually if you just leave them or do I have to demolish them in order for new buildings to build in their place?
Best Answer
No, demolishing them is not necessary because eventually they will sort themselves out. From The game manual:
If the abandoned buildings are not bulldozed, they will be inhabited again after a minimum of 4 weeks of in-game time. Burned down buildings need to be bulldozed to make room for a new building.
So you don't have to demolish abandoned buidlings, but demolishing has the following benefits:
- Avoiding 4-weeks wait.
- Improving the land value around that location.
And you have to demolish burned down buildings, though, they will never recover on their own.

Answer 2
It's possible for a building to stop being abandoned on its own, if you have very high demand for that zone type. It will go through the construction animation again and then be back at the base level.
However, if you have a lot of abandoned buildings, the negative impacts of having abandoned buildings nearby can prevent this from happening. This is why bulldozing is generally a better solution.
Answer 3
I solved the problem using a mod from the Workshop

Buildings will still be marked as abandonned or burned down, but will be automatically removed after a short delay.
Please note: Adding a mod voids acheivements for that world.
