Read on to find out everything there is to know about the different buildings in Netropolis:
Stalls - Estimated Top TW 2079
Function: income.
Wonderful way to cheaply pick up land for later upgrading. One
of the easiest/cheapest ways of level up and stay online.
Only first 3 types of Stalls can use the Change Stock Option.
Shops - Estimated Top TW 8316
Function: income
Upgrade of Stalls. While costing 4 times more can make 5 times
as much if build on roads.
Hot Dog Stand (stand) - Estimated Top TW 3119
Function: income
Campsite (camp) - Estimated Top TW 6237
Function: income
A nice building to put on rivers or around trees, but
should only be used until you can build 20k Buildings.
Car Park - Estimated Top TW 7098 to 12474
Function: support building
A building that increases the profits of buildings around
it, but is a poor provider itself. Like most buildings, become obsolete when
you obtain "20k buildings".
Kebab Van - Estimated Top TW 8316
Function: income
Burger Bar (BB) - Top TW 16632
Function: income
Building that can be built on roads or in the middle of a
block and still obtain high incomes. A town comps dream building before "20k
buildings".
Supported by Pig Farms. BB are a source of food and
shouldn't be placed next to manors due to that fact. This building is twice
the cost of a shop but can make 3 times the profit.
Pig Farm - Top TW 41580
Function: Support and Damage
I personally do not like this building at all. It will
decrease the profits of all buildings (other than BB) around it. It will
increase the BB but in an ideal setting I wouldn%u2019t plan to keep BB
around long enough to make use of the increased profit. If
you have 20k to spend on this building it would better spent upgrading to
another 20k building.
Motels - Estimated Top TW 24948
Function: income
Not available in towns and not worth having in cities (or
higher) as a 20k building will make more profit. If you are unable to
build a "20k" than this building may be the best if a BB will
work either.
Pubs - Estimated Top TW 17745 to 31185
Function: support
Much like other support buildings, a pub doesn't do a good job
of making cash for itself, but if placing it next to Reno or Clubs can
tremendously increase profits for the Reno and Club.
Pubs are one building that can be built next to one of the same
kind (sacrificing profits of it self) to increase other others (Reno and
Club)
Cyber Caf© - Estimated Top TW 41405 to 72765
Function: Support
Cybers work much like a Pub does, only for the Cinemas instead
of Reno and Clubs. If you are looking for a high TW value, this is the
building to build.
"20k Buildings"
High Street Store (HSS) - Top TW 41580
Function: income
Limit: None
Best Support Buildings: Manor, MSCP
Control Buildings: N/A
Negative Effect Buildings: Pubs, Reno
General Rules: This building is the "Control" of the experiment known as
Netropolis. I have yet to find a situation that it harms any of the
surrounding buildings, but every type of building will
change what the HSS makes. I refer to this building
as the "meat"of the game due to the fact that it will have the larger
capita per map than any other single building type.
For a detailed explanation of how to maximize see
section on how to build
Manor - Top TW 41580
Function: income
Limit: None
Best Support Buildings: N/A
Control Buildings: HSS
Negative Effect Buildings: MSCP, Pubs, Reno
General Rules: Best on roads and corners, but amazingly makes a fair amount
of cash in the middle of blocks when surrounded by HSS
Renovated Office (Reno)- Top TW 41580
Function: income
Limit: None
Best Support Buildings: Pub
Control Buildings: HSS, Manor
Negative Effect Buildings: MSCP, pig farm, BB's (?)
General Rules: Work wonders on roads and should only be used there.
LICS-
Level 3
Pools- Top TW: £103950
Function: Support
Limit: 20
Best Support Buildings: MSCP
Control Buildings: N/A
Negative Effect Buildings: N/A
General Rules: Not a profit fiend themselves and should only be used to
increase a Hotels income
if unable to build a Reno, Manor, or HSS. A pool can
be used for some profit over doubling an HSS
Multi Storey Car Park (MSCP): TW 124740
Function: Support
Limit: 30
Best Support Buildings: N/A
Control Buildings: N/A
Negative Effect Buildings: N/A
General Rules: Works the same as the Car Park but on at an increased level
of effectiveness. (Personal guess of 10 times)
Should never be used to bring in a profit in
themselves but work wonderfully for helping other Lics.
Hotels- Top TW: £218295
Function: Income
Limit: 30
Best Support Buildings: 1) Pool 2) MSCP
Control Buildings: HSS, Manor, and any other Lics
Negative Effect Buildings: Reno
General Rules: Roads don't hurt but pale in comparison to a River.
Hotels are the only Lic that have a Max TW when
completely surrounded by Roads
A Hotel with 1-3 Control buildings can still have a
Max TW if placed properly
Sometimes a company can make more if a Hotel is not
maxed for TW
Night Club (NC or Club) Top TW 166320
Function: income
Limit: 30
Best Support Buildings: 1) Pub 2) Cinema 3) MSCP
Control Buildings: HSS, Manor, Reno, and any other Lics
Negative Effect Buildings: None
General Rules: Much the same as any building, a Road will not hurt.
Clubs are very versatile as they can be built with
Cine/MSCP or Reno/Pubs
Level 4
Cinema(Cine) - Top TW: 249480
Function: income
Limit: 20
Best Support buildings: 1)MSCP 2) Cyber Cafes
Control buildings: HSS, Manors, and any other Lics

General Rules: Roads are a Cine's friend.
Increase profits of Clubs.
