I know this has been asked a million times but I couldn't find it. Besides NC what are the top 5 non gold buildings for someone lvl 55?
Cheers

Italian Restaurant, Movie Theater, Loft are 3 main buildings everyone here will agree on. The other 2 are really more opinions based on personal experience. All buildings under level 5 and all mafia unlocks are type A buildings - they will help your economy grow the fastest.

See: http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?13183-Payout-algorithm-explained

...about the difference between type A and type B if you're unsure.


I personally think that $1,032 every 5 minutes is a great thing to have at a low level - so I put in a vote for 2 x level 10 laundromats.


For my last best building, I'll throw in a house. Having a long payout building with upgrades that you will probably keep around for a long time is always a good thing to have around.


In summation - Italian Restaurant, Movie Theater, Loft, Laundromat, House.

Excellent reply below. The only thing I'd add - consider the LTBs.

I doubt at 55 he could afford them, but yes that's a good point. Maybe they'll make a 1 hour building that doesn't cost too much :D

Excluding NCs and LTBs, my top 5:

Loft, MT, Dominicans, Wholesale warehouses, Tshirts

I miss alot of the 3hr collection times, so prefer to go for the 12/18/24hr buildings.

It's possible but agree not common - one of my accounts isn't much higher than 55 and I have built: 2 pagodas & 2 toy stores. Considering buying the latest tech building but the 75 mil cost is definitely challenging!!

I have to get the building though - it's the prettiest building in the game.

Free player here except during syndicate wars.

Loft and MT are no-brainers regardless of playing style.

LTB, if you can afford it, will always be the best non-NC building available sub-55.

Domincans are the best standard-cycle (ie, good for all players) buildings, with cheap quick upgrades.

Beyond that playing style determines.

The important thing to remember is that you'll want to be focusing on Loft/MT/LTB upgrades, so the next building should basically be worthwhile enough to have, but not so expensive as it delays the "real" upgrades. Play style/collection times/iph will determine which building fits that bill.

Diagree on the wholesale warehouse. The only thing those are good for is robbing at the lower levels in my opinion. T-Shirt Stands are the much better option because they're so small and cheap. It's the size of the T-Shirt Stand that makes the Wholesale Warehouse useless to me and why I never got one.

I'm stunned how often I see people with L5 Casino/Office & Lvl 1 NCs, or L7-10 HMs and L1-3 MTs/Lofts.

Truly bizarre. And a hindrance to the efficacy of my robbing.

It is crazy stupid how many people have 30+buildings all level 1-3, I think it is the stupidest thing ever. If it's worth getting it's worth getting two, and if it's worth getting two its worth upgrading to 10. For my play style, to answer your question, would be (in no order): Italian Restaurant, Movie Theater, Loft, Beach Nightclub, Beachside Inn

I agree it stupid seeing this but most people actually have a life so they don't don't actually play the game seriously. Only serious player focus building stats and income. Casual player probably only log 3-4 times a day while a serious player log in every 3 hours depending type of buildings they have in their hood.

Lofts turn into pumpkins after your IPH hits $2-$3M; MT's get deco'd around $1M.

And how exactly is turning into a pumpkin a bad thing?

I'm not going to rank these, but when I was initally building my economy I liked the Dominicans, House, T-shirt and Warehouse to boost my IPH. As soon as I could afford the MT and Loft I moved over to those two. All those buildings should be upgraded pretty far (lvl 6-10). When you reach 300k IPH you should start thinking about saving up for NC's. At 500k IPH you can start buying the LTB's but you should probably favor NC upgrades to lvl 3 before you start upgrading the LTB's.

I'm a late bloomer and just recently upgraded my NC's to L2 which I think was a mistake not doing sooner, but I did manage to get all the latest LTB's (Pagoda's and onwards) with the exception of 1 Dockside Mill.

Now I have a question, should I consider getting any of the following: Condos, Hotel, Office Building

I'm a medium-late gamer at L138 with IPH of 850k, space is getting low in my hood and I've already sold off a lot of my early buildings but I still have a few left that will go as soon as I have no choice - History Museum, Playhouse and Fish Store for sure, and maybe even House and Warehouse although it pains me to sell L10 buildings, lol...

My NC's are both L2, my priority right now is to upgrade them to L3 while not missing out on any LTB's, so paying 8-24M for the above buildings is slightly difficult to fit into the budget (far from impossible though) and I need to expand my hood too (current expansion costs 7M).

So with all the info at hand, is there any reason to get any or all of these buildings (Condos, Hotel, Office Building) at this point or later on when my IPH is higher? Will they stay valuable as I progress to higher levels or should I just forget about them and focus 100% on NC's, LTB's and hood expansions?

Your NC upgrades & LTB purchases should remain #1 priority.

If you can afford the other buildings then I'd go Hotel & Office, in that order (for the cheaper upgrades - eventually your early hotel upgrades will be nice savers when waiting for LTB/NC upgrades). Condos are a nice to have rather than a real powerhouse.

Don't wait that long for NCs. As soon as you hit 100k IPH, you should start saving for NCs and buy 1 NC (will take about 20 days assuming 20x IPH collection per day and no robberies/attacks/other sources of cash like scratcher/boss). Then upgrade that NC to level 2. Then buy another and upgrade that to level 2.

Thanks, I will remain with my strategy, buying LTB's but rather upgrading NC's than upgrading LTB, and only buy the Hotels in case I have the spare cash burning a hole in my pocket in order to have something to upgrade while saving for the other.

I believe his question has been answered. I added my thoughts and threw in a question of my own regarding money buildings instead of starting yet another duplicate thread.
