  1. Here's my raw notes and train of thought when coming up with the solution to this puzzle. It, uh, sure is a thing.
  2.  
  3. Video link: https://youtu.be/i5yNHic1Eb0
  4.  
  5. (THERE IS A HUUUUUGE LOGIC ERROR IN THIS ONE, IT'S SMALL APTS AND BREWERIES THAT NEED TO BE KEPT FROM SYNERGY, WHEAT FIELDS ARE FINE EXCEPT WHEAT FIELDS CAUSE BREWERIES TO SYNERGY, AND THEN THE MAXIMAL SOLUTION BREAKS DUE TO EXCESSIVE ORGANIC WASTE. A fixed solution is to... replace two of the first-floor Breweries with Anaerobic Digestors. The minimal solution is still valid due to economy of (lack of) scale.)

  55. -Ash Tree: Groundwater 1 (Pollution 0.2)/Fresh Air 1 Leisure 2
  56. -Minimum solution:
  57. -no need to minimize Wheat this time, but should still keep it 1:1 with Brewery usage (but synergy is ok this time)
  58. -Anaerobic Digestor is the only way to reduce Organic Waste... which is far too easy to synergizeify for Apts... we'll just have to disregard synergy for minimum, it might be enough to justify an extra digestor or three for maximum... also it's the only way to make fertilizer apparently
  59. -1x Anaerobic Digestor 2x Wheat Field 2x Brewery (beer prod chain)
  60. Beer 8-0 Money 0-0 Organic Waste 4-6... Biogas 4-0 Fertilizer 4-2 Greenhouse Gas 4-0(-0) Groundwater 0-2 Labor 0-8 Water 0-7 Wheat 4-4
  61. -3x Small Apt 1x Grass 1x Beech Tree Grove (Labor, Organic Waste, apts' needs)
  62. Beer 8-0 Money 0-0 Organic Waste 7-6... Biogas 4-0 Consumer 6-0 Electricity 0-3 Fertilizer 4-2 Fresh Air 4-3 Greenhouse Gas 4-0(-3) Groundwater 0-6 Labor 9-8 Leisure 4-3 Water 0-10 Wheat 4-4
  63. -2x Water Tower 1x Gas Generator 2x Sprinklers (Water, Electricity, Groundwater)
  64. Beer 8-0 Money 0-5 Organic Waste 7-6... Biogas 4-4 Consumer 6-0 Electricity 10-4 Fertilizer 4-2 Fresh Air 4-3 Greenhouse Gas 7-0(-3) Groundwater 6-6 Labor 9-8 Leisure 4-3 Water 16-12 Wheat 4-4
  65. -2x Beer Garden, add 1x Beech Tree Grove 1x Sprinklers (Money, and increased Fresh Air req)
  66. Beer 8-4 Money 16-5 Organic Waste 7-6... Biogas 4-4 Consumer 6-4 Electricity 10-4.5 Fertilizer 4-2 Fresh Air 8-7 Greenhouse Gas 7-0(-6) Groundwater 9-9 Labor 12-8 Leisure 13-3 Water 16-13 Wheat 4-4
  67. -we can remove the Grass because Beer Garden does a lot of Leisure, but...
  68. -in 100 cycles, we'll have 100 Organic Waste surplus but only 400 Beer 1100 Money, and I still consider it cheating to place a block then remove it just to reduce one resource
  69. -if there was only 1 Beer Garden, after 100 cycles we have 100 Organic Waste 600 Beer but only 300 Money...
  70. -there's really nothing I can do about it, I have to add another Anaerobic Digestor then more brewing and apartments
  71. -add 1x Anaerobic Digestor 1x Brewery 1x Wheat Field 3x Small Apt, remove 1x Grass
  72. Beer 12-4 Money 16-5 Organic Waste 12-12... Biogas 8-4 Consumer 12-4 Electricity 10-7.5 Fertilizer 8-3 Fresh Air 8-10 Greenhouse Gas 9-0(-6) Groundwater 9-9 Labor 18-12 Leisure 10-6 Water 16-21 Wheat 6-6
  73. -add 1x Water Tower 1x Sprinklers 1x Beech Tree Grove for final needs
  74. Beer 12-4 Money 16-7 Organic Waste 12-12... Biogas 8-4 Consumer 12-4 Electricity 10-8 Fertilizer 8-3 Fresh Air 12-10 Greenhouse Gas 9-0(-9) Groundwater 12-12 Labor 18-12 Leisure 11-6 Water 24-22 Wheat 6-6
  75. -Organic Waste is now Perfectly Balanced™, assuming no synergy (ahhh, the wheat fields and apartments...), all needs met
  76. -OH SHIT BACK UP THE BUS, JUST DISCOVERED A RESOURCE INTERLOCK
  77. -Gas Generator (Electricity) depends on Anaerobic Digestor (Biogas) depends on both (Brewery (Organic Waste) depends on Small Apt (Labor)) and Small Apt directly (Organic Waste), and Small Apt (Labor/Organic Waste) depends on Gas Generator (Electricity)...
  78. -fine, throw in a token 1x Solar Panel to bootstrap Electricity...
  79. Beer 12-4 Money 16-7 Organic Waste 12-12... Biogas 8-4 Consumer 12-4 Electricity 11-8 Fertilizer 8-3 Fresh Air 12-10 Greenhouse Gas 9-0(-9) Groundwater 12-12 Labor 18-12 Leisure 11-6 Water 24-22 Wheat 6-6
  80. Final block tally: 2x Beer Garden 2x Anaerobic Digestor 1x Solar Panel 3x Water Tower 1x Gas Generator 4x Sprinklers 3x Brewery 3x Wheat Field 6x Small Apt 3x Beech Tree Grove, 28 blocks, 8 surplus Beer 9 surplus Money per cycle!
  81. Build order: 1x Solar Panel, wait for a bit (Electricity 50?), 3x Water Tower 4x Sprinklers 6x Small Apt 3x Beech Tree Grove (on top of Small Apts), wait until all Small Apts prod, 1x Anaerobic Digestor 1x Gas Generator 3x Wheat Field 3x Brewery 1x Anaerobic Digestor 2x Beer Garden, make sure Small Apt isn't touching Small Apt or Beech Tree Grove, make sure Wheat Field isn't touching Wheat Field or Sprinklers...
  82. MINIMAL SOLUTION VALIDATED, but it's reeeaaally touchy about build order
  83. -Maximum solution:
  84. -well for starters we're kinda in trouble for a naive duplication because the minimum solution needed more than one z-level worth of blocks, and we need to stick elevators in too somehow
  85. -alright let's start with a 10x duplication plus 9 Elevators (we can save the top level just for no-access Beech Tree Grove and Water Tower, and we only need the one Solar Panel period
  86. 9x Elevator 20x Beer Garden 20x Anaerobic Digestor 1x Solar Panel 30x Water Tower 10x Gas Generator 40x Sprinklers 30x Brewery 30x Wheat Field 60x Small Apt 30x Beech Tree Grove (280/250 block budget!)
  87. Beer 120/40 Money 160-79 Organic Waste 120-120... Biogas 80-40 Consumer 120-40 Electricity 101-81.8 Fertilizer 80-30 Fresh Air 120-100 Greenhouse Gas 90-0(-90) Groundwater 120-120 Labor 180-120 Leisure 110-60 Water 240-220 Wheat 60-60
  88. -we can't tamper with Anaerobic Digestor/Brewery/Small Apt due to the Organic Waste chain... orrrr can we?
  89. -we've got an excess of Fertilizer and Biogas, so we can safely lose 1 Digestor if we lose 6 Small Apts...
  90. -remove 18 Small Apt 3 Anaerobic Digestor, system remains in balance without reducing brewing capacity, block count 259/250
  91. -remove 5 Beech Tree Grove 3 Water Tower 1 Gas Generator, things are still in balance and we're at 250/250 blocks!
  92. Final block count: 9x Elevator 20x Beer Garden 17x Anaerobic Digestor 1x Solar Panel 27x Water Tower 9x Gas Generator 40x Sprinklers 40x Brewery 30x Wheat Field 42x Small Apt 25x Beech Tree Grove, 80 surplus Beer 88 surplus Money per cycle, Organic Waste in balance
  93. Build order:
  94. -what goes on what floor, then?
  95. -Floor 10: 25x Beech Tree Grove
  96. Layout: ...it's just 25x Beech Tree Grove, dude
  97. -Floors 2-9:
  98. 1x Elevator (8/9 used, 1 left)
  99. 2x Beer Garden (16/20 used, 4 left)
  100. 2x Anaerobic Digestor (16/17 used, 1 left)
  101. 3x Water Tower (24/27 used, 3 left)
  102. 1x Gas Generator (8/9 used, 1 left)
  103. 5x Sprinklers (40/40 used, 0 left)
  104. 3x Brewery (24/30 used, 6 left)
  105. 3x Wheat Field (24/30 used, 6 left)
  106. 5x Small Apt (40/42 used, 2 left)
  107. 25/25 block space used
  108. Layout: Elevator in center, 2x Small Apt on opposite sides (vital for support), 3x Water Tower on side of Elevator, 5x Sprinklers around rest of Elevator, Water Tower side ring is Wheat Field/Brewery/Gas Generator/Brewery/Wheat Field/Brewery/Wheat Field, Sprinklers side ring is Beer Garden/Small Apt/Anaerobic Digestor/Small Apt/Anaerobic Digestor/Small Apt/Beer Garden
  109. -Floor 1:
  110. 1x Elevator, 4x Beer Garden, 1x Anaerobic Digestor, 3x Water Tower, 1x Gas Generator, 6x Brewery, 6x Wheat Field, 2x Small Apt, 1x Solar Panel, 25/25 block space used, all blocks allocated
  111. Layout: Elevator in center, 2x Small Apt on opposite sides (vital for support), 6x Brewery outer edges like a 1d6=6, 6x Wheat Field inner edges, 4x Beer Garden remaining outer edges, 3x Water Tower in front of one Small Apt, Solar Panel in front of other Small Apt, Gas Generator and Anaerobic Digestor in final corners
  112. -start with a Solar Panel, generate Electricity 50 to start out
  113. -build shaft of 9 Elevators in center
  114. -dependency order: Water Tower -> Sprinklers -> Beech Tree Grove -> Small Apt -> Anaerobic Digestor -> Gas Generator -> Wheat Field -> Brewery -> Beer Garden
  115. -6 Small Apts must be done for an Anaerobic Digestor to work, which needs 6 Beech Trees initially (Leisure, not Fresh Air), which needs 6 Sprinklers, which needs 1 Water Tower
  116. -Gas Generator immediately after Anaerobic Digestor (both Floor 1), then Electricity is solved
  117. -for Access, start with Solar Panel (ELECTRICITY 50!), then bottom Elevator, Water Towers, and one Wheat Field. Sprinklers are Access on all other floors
  118. -now the 6 Wheat Field 6 Brewery on Floor 1, then the Beer Gardens for Money and Leisure
  119. -and now it should be fine to build upward
  120. MAXIMUM SOLUTION VALIDATED, but again, careful with the build order...
