  22. -Unusable blocks (required input isn't produced by anything):

  38. -Minimum solution:
  39. -2x Small Apt, need Labor
  40. Water 0-2... Consumer 4-0 Electricity 0-2 Fresh Air 0-2 Greywater 4-0 Labor 6-0 Leisure 0-2
  41. -1x Corner Store, need Money

  50. Water 8-3... Consumer 4-4 Electricity 4-3.5 Fresh Air 2-2 Greywater 4-0 Groundwater 3-2 Labor 6-1 Leisure 4-2 Money 6-4
  51. 9 Blocks, 5 surplus Water per cycle, mission complete!
  52. -Build order: Windmills, Water Tower, Sprinkler, Ash Trees, Small Apts, Corner Store, in 3x3 footprint
  53. -Maximum solution:
  54. -four Small Apts grant enough greywater for an Algae Farm...
  55. -Corner Store, Small Apt, and Algae Farm require ground-level access, anything else can be built on top!
  56. -ok so let's start with 4x the min solution plus two Algae Farms
  57. -8x Small Apt, 4x Corner Store, 8x Ash Tree, 4x Sprinkler, 8x Windmill, 4x Water Tower, 2x Algae Farm
  58. Water 48-12... Consumer 16-16 Electricity 16-14 Fresh Air 8-8 Greywater 16-16 Groundwater 12-8 Labor 24-4 Leisure 16-8 Money 24-16
  59. -that's 38/50 blocks, can I do one more set?
  60. -wait, hold on, Consumer is the bottleneck here... and with the Labor surplus...
  61. -what would it take to do that, then? between Large and Small Apts, all things equal except Leisure...
  62. -to get two Corner Stores with only Small Apts: 4 Small Apts 2 Corner Stores 4 Ash Trees (Fresh Air bottleneck)
  63. -to do the same with Small+Large Aps: 1 Small Apt 2 Large Apts 2 Corner Stores 4 Ash Trees... 1 block saved!
  64. -so starting over, 3x of the above unit, along with it having exactly enough Greywater for an Algae Farm... enough surplus to knock Ash Trees to 11x
  65. -3x Small Apt 6x Large Apt 6x Corner Store 11x Ash Tree 3x Algae Farm
  66. Water 24-15... Consumer 36-24 Electricity 0-15 Fresh Air 11-9 Groundwater 0-11 Greywater 24-24 Labor 9-6 Leisure 22-21 Money 36-0
  67. -let's resolve that groundwater now

  76. -69 surplus Water (nice)... but we can do better, that's still a lot of extra money. we can't touch the apts, but get rid of one store (and a windmill due to less elec need) frees up space for two more water towers
  77. -2x Water Tower, remove 1 Corner Store 1 Windmill
  78. Water 88-19... Consumer 36-20 Electricity 16-16 Fresh Air 11-9 Groundwater 12-11 Greywater 24-24 Labor 9-5 Leisure 22-21 Money 30-28
  79. -aw man, we have the money for one more tower but we're at space limit...
  80. -wait... replace two Ash Trees with a Grass, everything's still green and we get one more Water Tower!
  81. -1x Grass 1x Water Tower, remove 2 Ash Tree
  82. Water 112-19... Consumer 36-20 Electricity 16-16 Fresh Air 9-9 Groundwater 12-10 Greywater 24-24 Labor 9-5 Leisure 21-21 Money 30-30
  83. 93 surplus Water per cycle!
  84. Final block count: 3x Algae Farm 11x Water Tower 8x Windmill 4x Sprinklers 5x Corner Store 6x Large Apt 3x Small Apt 1x Grass 9x Ash Tree
  85. Build order:
  86. -We've got 17 blocks that must be ground level...
  87. -Start with a middle ring of 8 Water Towers and a center Corner Store for second floor support
  88. -1x Water Tower on top, ring of 8x Windmill around
  89. -4x Corner Store on outside corners facing out
  90. -3x Large Apt on both sides, 3x Small Apt on other, 3x Algae Farm on last side
