Pagoda. You can see this in the following screenshot:

This is calculated with -30% upgrade costs and +41% payout mod. I can give you the numbers with other payout mods too, if this isn't right for you.

The pagoda has a very short upgrade time when you compare it to the Gentleman's Clubs. Hourly gain means the IPH increase you get, the Pagoda gets you more IPH increase than the two GC upgrades combined.

I will answer Muj's question in a moment.

NIS. Based on the following screenshot:
http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1811/pk3k.png
The site didn't give me an upgrade planner for the WSFG. I have to talk to the maker of the site. But the NIS upgrade is better than the Pagoda in my eyes, because its build time and hourly gain is better.


Pagoda. Its Type A.
Type A is overrated imo. It's all about payout/hr at level 10, that decides if the building is good for me. For instance, look at this screenshot:
http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4524/b7jx.png
I compared the Transtech with the Pagoda here. As you can see, the payout/hr is almost the same at level 10. The Transtech is a better building by far, because it is Type B - which means: its base value (payout at level 1) is way higher and will help you more in the earlier stages. I didn't include the upgrade costs - everyone will probably upgrade the Pagoda earlier because it's cheaper. But this is just to show you that the Transtech is a better building in my eyes.

[Muj]

I just saw the IPH increase for the Slay Belles, and now wondering if I should build another one (and maybe start upgrading)?
I have just one at L1, thought it would be better to concentrate on other LTBs and my NCs.

[bravo 6 vk]

2 NC level 3
1 Slay Bellles level 2
2 Hotels level 2
2 Condos level 3

What should I upgrade next? I was thinking of saving for next LTB as I've gotten NC's to level 3....

[Munch on it]

Yep. Here you go:

How come my level 6 pagoda only pays 7,972,800 when I have +51% output? In your pic it says the previous level should pay 8,770,080.
Must be all the glitching I do.

Not to worry it's because I'm not a tycoon or a goodfella

http://crimecityios.wikia.com/wiki/Money_BuildingsHi archee.... those don't have the modifiers on them and most people have a lot of modifiers and different ones so that isn't accurate.

[LtotheG]

Why do you only look at building payout/hr at lvl 10?

Isn't the moste important thing the ROI of a building? (and if its not, why not :p)
Isn't it about the balance between the base income and the upgradecost during all upgrades?
It takes 6x longer to earn your money back of the transtech building (compare to a pagoda).
Its the same upgrade time and nearly same pay-out/hr.

I suggest nightclub and pagoda first to lvl 6
after that focus on LTB buildings witch you collect the most without getting robbed (and give the highest ICH), or save the money for the new LTB and upgrade less expensive buildings (depends on your ICH).

[vtwin]

Sell them all. In game cash is worthless. Rob all you need to upgrade LTB, who cares about collection times and IPH, it's 2014. plus it an added bonus with all the fan mail you get on your wall, best part of game making people mad about pixel money

Great advice if you want to spend all day searching for hoods to rob.

I'll take my 166k raw attack stats from the current LTBs prizes from just collecting my buildings and not having to spend hours every day searching dozens of hoods (like yours) to finally find one good enough to rob.

[bigwillie83642]

I just wish I had enough dough to get the No Interest Savings when it was the LTB.

LtotheG, I seem to be one of the few people who agree with you that it's almost all about ROI (within reason, don't choose a Pizza Parlor over a Nightclub because of ROI). At some point (I'm starting to hit it now), your income becomes so high that dIPH/upgrade time starts to weigh heavily on the decision as to which is a better upgrade. But even with my $23m IPH, I still value ROI greatly.

[tfletcher20]

Upgrade what you can collect.

Respect to some of the formulas but if you go off of them don't forget to subtract whatever % of the time they get robbed. I know that my nightclubs will only collect between 2-3 times a day, my 12 hours are about 90% and my 24 are 99% that being said my pagodas are already10 and my nightclubs are 7. My 20 hour buildings once robbed I wait and collect right before I go to bed, my 26 hour once robbed I collect as soon as I wake up. All other times are freebies for people to rob if I don't stay on top of collection times.

Upgrade what you can collect.

Still wondering if spending 60m for another Slay Belles is a good idea..

I look at the true potential of a building, because if it's good it will eventually be level 10. I don't look at ROI myself, because you don't upgrade a building based on the output of only that building. ROI of one building is useless in my eyes. For instance, my ROI for a level 10 Slay Belles is 4-5 days, based on my total income, mods and how much I can collect per day. For you, it's different: might be longer or shorter based on your mods, IPH and how much you collect or rob.

I'm not saying that ROI is useless at all, it's still very valuable, but only if you plan to use a few save upgrades before doing a very big one (like NC or WSFG).

[LtotheG]

Get your point now Jmeijer, i makes a big difference that my ICH is 1,2 mil..
Started the game later then moste of you, so my first LTB i builded is a big top burlesque..

But i still dont get the point why you should upgrade a transtech till lvl 10, an upgrade form 9 to 10 cost you 5 jaar to earn is back.

What should you do from my point of view? is it good to upgrade de nightclub untill they are at least lvl 6? (current lvl 4) then what? after NC only focus on LTB's?

just figure out the fasteste why to rise my ICH..

[Muj]

Debating whether to do NCs to 6 after the LTB, WSFGs to 2 or Pagodas to 6...

[Grunge]

wondering what software those screenshots are from... is it a webpage?
