Few of Us where chatting about how bad the steel mill is, So I so wondered wat you think is the worst building.I based it on the fact It's got a crap IPH takes forever to upgrade and it just looks crap.Heres a few I think will run it close. Plus let us know wat level your mill is, surely no one has a ten. Mines at 3 and will be forever.

I like the steel mills, lvl 8 pays same amount as my lvl 2 geothermals, find the supply depot stupid though, never collect it 12 times per hour

Given the otions excluding "other", Steel Mill is hands down the worst per the ROI. If my formulas are rights a L5 is 3-4X as bad when looking at the ROI hours, 4X the collection to pay off, and the cost per $ gained is 750. Cost for $ gained Weapons Factory is 245, Command Center 148 and Supply Depot 2.5. But there are many other factors to consider too, but Steel Mill doesn't look to be cost effective to me even though it comes in 2nd of the 4 among $/hr gained for your IPH.

I mean look at the costs. A L5 command center upgrade costs 155K for an approx 1K/hr gain. The steel mill will get you 2.3K/hr, but if you think for 2x the cost compared to the command center, you are wrong. The cost for L5 steel mill upgrade isn't 300-440K like one would think, no it is 1,7500,000!!!! And the upgrade for a L5 command center is 18hrs vs. 72hrs for the Steel Mill. The Weapons Factory is only 42hrs and costs 384K.

I've actually considered selling both L1 steel mills just to get rid of the dang green arrows over them.

They are all pretty crap , I have sent my unit buildings to go and stand in the corner of my base and have banished my crap money buildings to the outskirts of my base never to return , I will finish upgrading them when I have nothing else better to do if I'm still playing by then .

The satellite arrays are the biggest waste of space IMO

As soon as I saw the title of the thread I thought steel mill, glad you all agree :)

@miner - those damn green arrows really are the Bain of my life too, I hate them!

Lol. I upgraded those to lvl 2 just because the upgrade time was so short ... but yes any building with that big of a footprint should be a high output 12/24/48 hr building imo.

Whoa! Steady there Fl@sh. I like my Sat Arrays.
Why? Well when I'm saving for a long upgrade, I might go ahead and put in a shorter upgrade that don't cost as much. The Sat Arrays are not so bad for what I get. An upgrade under 10m keeps things going while I save for a biggie.
Both mine are at L4

I must say the arrays aren't bad value at all. There just so god damn big.

I do believe we have a winner. Officially the Sh**test building ever is the steel mill

The extra cash is good though. Me and my cousin will take it if you don't want it.
