	-Unusable blocks (required input isn't produced by anything):
		-Sitting Area: No Tourist
		-Cafe: No Bread
		-Plastics Factory: No Oil
	-Valid blocks minified (delete produced that isn't consumed, or optional consume that isn't produced):
		-Corridor: Money 0.5/None
		-Elevator: Money 1 Electricity 0.2/None
		-Newsstand: Consumer 1 Labor 1/Money 3
		-Plaza: Money 1/Leisure 2

	-Minimum solution:
		-so we can do barbershop for 4 money, corner store for 6, or newsstand for 3
		-1 small apt can provide for 2 newsstands to 6 money, but need 2 small apts for one corner store for 6, 3 blocks
		-or to make it all fair, bump to 12 money: 2 small apts 4 newsstands, or 4 small apts 2 corner stores, or 1 small apt 1 large apt 3 barbershops, doing it in five blocks... interesting... ok we try that
		-3x Barbershop, chosen method for Money
			Money 12-0... Consumer 0-6 Electricity 0-3 Labor 0-3
		-1x Small Apt 1x Large Apt, need Consumer and Labor
			Money 12-0... Consumer 7-6 Electricity 0-5 Fresh Air 0-2 Labor 3-3 Leisure 0-4 Water 0-3
		-or hold on, let's try the other combos too
			-2x Small Apt, 4x Newsstand
				Money 12-0... Consumer 4-4 Electricity 0-2 Fresh Air 0-2 Labor 6-4 Leisure 0-2 Water 0-2
			- OR, 4x Small Apt, 2x Corner Store
				Money 12-0... Consumer 8-8 Electricity 0-6 Fresh Air 0-4 Labor 12-2 Leisure 0-4 Water 0-4
			-newsstand route is the cheapest!
		-CHANGE TO: 2x Small Apt, 4x Newsstand
			Money 12-0... Consumer 4-4 Electricity 0-2 Fresh Air 0-2 Labor 6-4 Leisure 0-2 Water 0-2
		-2x Ash Tree, need Fresh Air and Leisure, there's no way to do it in one block
			Money 12-0... Consumer 4-4 Electricity 0-2 Fresh Air 2-2 Groundwater 0-2 Labor 6-4 Leisure 4-2 Water 0-2
		-1x Sprinklers, need Groundwater
			Money 12-0... Consumer 4-4 Electricity 0-2.5 Fresh Air 2-2 Groundwater 3-2 Labor 6-4 Leisure 4-2 Water 0-3
		-1x Water Tower and 2x Windmill, need Water and Electricity to finish it off
			Money 12-4... Consumer 4-4 Electricity 4-2.5 Fresh Air 2-2 Groundwater 3-2 Labor 6-4 Leisure 4-2 Water 8-3
		12 blocks, 8 surplus Money per cycle, mission complete!
			-Placement note: Newsstands are self-desynergizing! Don't place next to each other!
			-Maximize notes: Room and budget for 1 elevator per level, but windmills are sus due to tallness attribute
		Build order: Water Tower, Windmill, Sprinklers, Ash Tree, Small Apt, Newsstand
	-Maximum solution:
		-we can do 18 copies easy, with the "no room" windmills being yeeted up top to the 10th floor
		-after some experimenting, I came up with the following solution:
		-10x Elevator 80x Newsstand 18x Water Tower 28x Windmill 18x Sprinklers 40x Small Apt 40x Ash Tree
			Money 240-64... Consumer 80-80 Electricity 56-51 Fresh Air 40-40 Groundwater 54-40 Labor 120-80 Leisure 80-40 Water 144-58
		-can I reduce the water tower number to squeeze in another cycle, maybe? ...I totally can...
		-add 4x Newsstand 1x Sprinklers 2x Small Apt 2x Ash Tree, remove 9x Water Tower
			Money 252-56... Consumer 84-84 Electricity 56-53.5 Fresh Air 42-42 Groundwater 57-42 Labor 126-84 Leisure 84-42 Water 72-61
		Build order:
		-10x Elevator shaft in center, 8x Windmill ring around that
		-For Floors 1-9:
			-Two 2x lines of Ash Trees on opposite sides of the elevators
			-1x Water Tower and 1x [the extra set of things] followed by 2x Sprinklers on opposite sides
			-4x Small Apt in inside corners
			-8x Newsstand on middle outer edges (making a hashtag shape)
			-On Floor 1: 4x Ash Tree in corners
			-On Floors 2-4-6-8: 4x Windmill in corners
		-For Floor 10:
			-8x Newsstand in the same places as below, 4x Windmill in corners, 4x Small Apt in center edges
