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

  28. -Blocks minified (delete produced that isn't consumed, or optional consume that isn't produced):
  29. -Corridor: Money 0.5/None

  44. -Elm Trees: Groundwater 1.5/Fresh Air 2 Leisure 1
  45. -Ash Tree: Groundwater 1/Fresh Air 1 Leisure 2
  46. -Minimum solution:
  47. -1x School, need Knowledge
  48. Knowledge 6-0... Labor 0-1 Youth 0-8
  49. -1x Small Apt, need Labor
  50. Knowledge 6-0... Electricity 0-1 Fresh Air 0-1 Labor 3-1 Leisure 0-1 Water 0-1 Youth 0-8
  51. -3x Large Apt, need Youth
  52. Knowledge 6-0... Electricity 0-4 Fresh Air 0-4 Labor 3-1 Leisure 0-10 Water 0-7 Youth 9-8
  53. -1x Beech Tree Grove 3x Grass, need Fresh Air and Leisure
  54. Knowledge 6-0... Electricity 0-4 Fresh Air 4-4 Groundwater 0-6 Labor 3-1 Leisure 10-10 Water 0-7 Youth 9-8
  55. -2x Sprinklers, need Groundwater
  56. Knowledge 6-0... Electricity 0-5 Fresh Air 4-4 Groundwater 6-6 Labor 3-1 Leisure 10-10 Water 0-9 Youth 9-8
  57. -2x Water Tower, need Water
  58. Knowledge 6-0... Electricity 0-5 Fresh Air 4-4 Groundwater 6-6 Labor 3-1 Leisure 10-10 Money 0-4 Water 16-9 Youth 9-8
  59. -1x Office, need Money
  60. Knowledge 6-1... Electricity 0-6 Fresh Air 4-4 Groundwater 6-6 Labor 3-3 Leisure 10-10 Money 6-4 Water 16-9 Youth 9-8
  61. -and now here it gets risky... need 6 elec, can do 1 windmill instead of 2 solar but it needs 1 money
  62. -no need to elevate on min, but will need to on max... but do stairs instead of elevator
  63. -2x Windmill & 2x Solar Panel, most efficient for Electricity (on max, swap a Windmill for 2 Solar Panels)
  64. Knowledge 6-1... Electricity 6-6 Fresh Air 4-4 Groundwater 6-6 Labor 3-3 Leisure 10-10 Money 6-6 Water 16-9 Youth 9-8
  65. 18 blocks, 5 surplus Knowledge per cycle, mission complete!
  66. -Build order: 2x Windmill, 2x Solar Panel, 2x Water Tower, 2x Sprinklers, 1x Beech Tree Grove, 3x Grass, 3x Large Apt, 1x Small Apt, 1x School, 1x Office
  67. -Maximum solution:
  68. -well for starters, we need heightitude here, so let's just add 10x Stairs and be done with that
  69. -10x Stairs
  70. Knowledge 0-0... Money 0-2
  71. -now, the naive solution here would be to start with 10x the minimum solution... oh, we also need to remember, Windmills are capped at 25 because they belong on the top floor only due to their TALLNESS attribute! in fact we actually only need eight Stairs because reasons, so set 25 Windmills, remove 2 Stairs, and 10x the rest
  72. -25x Windmill, 20x Solar Panel, 20x Water Tower, 20x Sprinklers, 10x Beech Tree Grove, 30x Grass, 30x Large Apt, 10x Small Apt, 10x School, 10x Office, remove 2 Stairs
  73. Knowledge 60-10... Electricity 70-60 Fresh Air 40-40 Groundwater 60-60 Labor 30-30 Leisure 100-100 Money 60-66.6 Water 160-90 Youth 90-80
  74. -ok so we're definitely set for water, let's see about three more copies without water towers
  75. -6x Solar Panel, 6x Sprinklers, 3x Beech Tree Grove, 9x Grass, 9x Large Apt, 3x Small Apt, 3x School, 3x Office
  76. Knowledge 78-13... Electricity 76-78 Fresh Air 52-52 Groundwater 78-78 Labor 39-39 Leisure 130-130 Money 78-66.6 Water 160-117 Youth 117-104
  77. -we're close, 235/250 blocks...
  78. -Small Apt, Office, School must be 1:1:1 due to Labor... Youth at a multiple of 8 is ideal...
  79. -let's see what 1 Large Apt and 2 each Small Apt/Office/School gets us
  80. -1x Large Apt, 2x Small Apt, 2x Office, 2x School
  81. Knowledge 90-15... Electricity 76-83 Fresh Air 52-55 Groundwater 78-78 Labor 45-45 Leisure 130-135 Money 90-66.6 Water 160-121 Youth 120-120
  82. -you know we don't really need all those offices, and we're great on water, but we need more fresh air and leisure and electricity
  83. -remove 5 Offices and 4 Water Towers, then add Solar Panels/Beech Tree Grove/Grass/etc as needed
  84. -1x Beech Tree Grove 2x Grass 2x Sprinklers 4x Solar Panel, remove 5x Office 4x Water Tower
  85. Knowledge 90-10... Electricity 80-79 Fresh Air 56-55 Groundwater 84-83 Labor 45-35 Leisure 137-135 Money 60-58.6 Water 128-123 Youth 120-120
  86. -we're at 242/250 blocks... adding another set of Large Apt/School would bust the block count because of the additional trees/grass/sprinkler/solar panels... also just realized block cap is actually 249 because the final Stairs takes up its top bit too
  87. Final block count: 8x Stairs 30x Solar Panel 16x Water Tower 25x Windmill 28x Sprinklers 40x Large Apt 15x Small Apt 10x Office 15x School 41x Grass 14x Beech Tree Grove
  88. 80 surplus Knowledge produced per cycle, it's big brain time
  89. Build order:
  90. -build one level at a time with these:
  91. -Levels 1-8: 1x Stairs (8/8) - all at start
  92. -Levels 1-9: 3x Solar Panel (27/30) - all possible at start (L1-8 for now)
  93. -and the rest a floor at a time:
  94. -Levels 1-8: 2x Water Tower (16/16)
  95. -Levels 1-9: 3x Sprinklers (27/28)
  96. -Levels 1-9: 4x Grass (36/41)
  97. -Levels 1-7: 2x Beech Tree Grove (14/14)
  98. -Levels 1-9: 4x Large Apt (36/40)
  99. -Levels 1-7: 2x Small Apt (14/15)
  100. -Levels 1-9: 1x Office (9/10)
  101. -Levels 1-7: 2x School (14/15)
  102. -Level 10: 25x Windmill (25/25)
  103. -fullness state:
  104. -Levels 1-7: 24/25 blocks
  105. -Level 8: 18/25 blocks
  106. -Level 9: 15/25 blocks
  107. -Level 10: 25/25 blocks
  108. -now fill in the remaining gaps with: 3x Solar Panel 1x Sprinklers 4x Large Apt 1x Small Apt 1x Office 1x School 5x Grass
  109. MAXIMAL SOLUTION VALIDATED
