Welcome to Construction Industry!
OVERVIEW
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
...
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. 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
Construction of buildings and building upgrades require resources instead of cash ($). The following resources are needed for new construction and building upgrades:
...
This makes it vital to obtain materials through contracts cheaper than exchange prices. Proper planning and bond scheduling may be needed to make the most out of each upgrade.
SCRAPPING
If a building is level 1 or 2, you will get the full investment back. Any building above level 2 that is scrapped will not receive the full investment back. Destroying a level 5 building will return 5 times the value of a level 1 building.
...
Recovered materials from scrapping will be returned at quality zero (q0).
QUALITY
There is no benefit to having higher quality for new construction and upgrades.
...
Construction units are like transport. They can not have quality.
SUMMARY
The construction industry is full of avenues to explore. If you are new to the game or want to change industries, construction may have what you are looking for.
