Welcome to Construction Industry!
OVERVIEW
Construction The Construction industry added thirteen (13) resources and five (5) buildings to Sim Companies. In this guide will go over the resources and buildings. What is needed to construct a new building. What is needed to upgrade your existing building. We’ll also cover scrapping and quality.
RESOURCES
The resources are:
Wood, reinforced concrete, bricks, cement, clay, limestone, steel beams, planks, windows, tools, construction units, bulldozer, and materials research.
...
BUILDINGS
The buildings are:
Quarry, concrete plant, construction factory, hardware store, and general contractor
...
The Construction factory produces Steel beams, Planks, Windows, and Tools.
The Hardware store (retail) sells Bricks, Cement, Planks, Windows, and Tools. (retail)
The General contractor produces Construction units.
The Bulldozer is produced in a car factory.
Materials research is produced in a chemistry lab.
Construction units are unique. They are only needed for doing new building construction and upgrades. Note, that producing Construction units needs to be done in multiples of eight (8). The cost of a bulldozer can cause your unit cost to be higher than normal. Construction units need 0.125x Bulldozer. Meaning 8 construction units can be made from 1 Bulldozer. If, you made 1 construction unit the price of 1 full bulldozer would be used. The cost of a bulldozer can cause your unit cost to be higher than normal. If, you made 2 construction units the price of 1 full bulldozer will be split between the two. And so on all the way up to the correct amount of 8.
NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING UPGRADES
...
When building a new building or upgrading an existing building there will be a menu that shows the resources needed. The monetary costs are an approximation of the value of needed resources. Market value may differ from this reference value. It is suggested to find the materials through contracts to save on building and/or upgrade costs.
...
Remember, to seek out contracts for cheaper materials than the exchange prices when planning out new buildings or upgrading buildings.
