How To Make Money In Simcity Buildit
Are you facing some expensive road upgrades? Dr. Vu needs 160k to upgrade? It's fourth dimension to brand some money, but what do you build? What makes yous the most money in the to the lowest degree amount of time in SimCity BuildIt?
I previously did some calculations on dollars per total infinitesimal of build time. As I've connected to play this game, I've come to the conclusion that the time spent in the raw good factories is mostly irrelevant. The bigger factor is the time spent using up a slot in the commercial buildings. With this concept in heed, I took a fresh look at my calculations and removed the time needed in the raw adept factories and recalculated the $/infinitesimal rate. I assumed that I had an space corporeality of raw goods: wood, metal, plastic, etc. and recalculated everything. In essence, it'due south a charge per unit that quantifies dollars per minute of commercial building build time. The assumption is that you'll be able to manage your raw good factories to ensure the commercial buildings can stay decorated 100% of the time.
After running the calculations, I sorted results past the summit $/infinitesimal rates. The results are beneath. The boxes are colored by which commercial building produces them. Notation that these are for the default, non-upgraded, commercial build times. "Critical Path" means it's the commercial good with the longest lead time.

Grandy recommended setup for maximizing turn a profit over long periods
I've tried out several setups and the ane I similar the almost focuses on making
- Donuts (flour handbag, sugar and spices) $12.70/min
- Bricks (minerals) $9.fifty/min
- TVs (plastic, glass, electrical components) $8.53/min
- Caps (textiles, measuring tape) $7.50/min
- Abode Textiles (textiles, measuring tape) $6.42/min
- Record Measures for home textiles, caps and to sell as-is(metallic, plastic) $5.50/min
- Garden Furniture (planks, plastic, textiles) $4.21/min
| |
| Flour production is ramped upwards... |
| |
| Donut production at full capacity |
Primary Items
Donuts, TVs and caps are all the top items for their store. Nails have a higher profit charge per unit than bricks, but would crave a lot of baby-sitting, so I bandy out nails and build bricks instead. Bricks have a great return charge per unit and just require minerals to make.
Secondary Items
Domicile Textiles
Abode textiles have a relatively low return rate, simply the tape measure needed to produce them are like shooting fish in a barrel to add into the supply chain when you're already making them for caps. The other piece of furniture store items you could produce would require both the hardware store and building supplies store. Considering bricks ($nine.fifty/min) have such a high return, I prefer to keep the building supplies store focused on those instead.
Garden Furniture
Garden furniture as well has a relatively low return charge per unit, only in order to build something else in the garden supplies store, you'd have to use the building supplies store for lengthy periods or focus the hardware shop on building shovels (grass, tree saplings). Garden furniture requires simply planks which means the gardening supplies store can exist used with as small an impact on brick product as possible. I like to build planks while I sleep at dark, and then that during the day I can focus on bricks.
Why exercise I make donuts when flour has a higher earn charge per unit?
If you lot sell flour equally-is, you're leaving the donut shop empty. So if you're already making flour, you might every bit well turn them into donuts. For more on the farmers market, proceed reading below.
Maximizing the employ of your farmers market place.
Many of the highest priced items in the game have to motility through the farmers market at one point or the other. I've analyzed all the items that are produced in, or require goods from the farmers market and adamant an earnings per time spent only in the farmers market place .
Example: The breadstuff roll is assembled in the donut shop, but requires two flour bags and one cream from the farmers marketplace. Each flour bag uses the farmers market for xxx minutes and the cream 75 minutes. In order to produce a unmarried bread curl, the farmers market volition be used for 30+thirty+75=135 minutes. The earnings for a unmarried bread scroll is $1840, so $1840/135 min spent in the farmers market place = $13.63/farmers market minutes
As yous can run into from the results below, donuts are past far the best item for your farmers market to be producing. If you sell flour bags, lemonade bottles, breadstuff rolls or burgers, you are settling for a lower rate of return for the very valuable production fourth dimension of the farmers market.

When to sell
I commonly sell all items in packs of five. When the game outset came out I used to sell donuts/caps/TVs in pairs, but I don't think that makes much sense these days. Nearly players have been playing for a long time and have large storage capacities, and so buying 5 packs of everything is not difficult.
Why you should always be building TVs: TVs have the highest $/minute rate for the home apparatus store, require only raw appurtenances, and have a long build fourth dimension which makes it easy to load up. All of the electronic store items are easily found in the Trade HQ, thus you should only fill the queue with TVs and allow it run 24/7. If y'all ever need a lightbulb, refridgerator or grill, purchase it.
Ways to make extra coin
The downside with this setup is that the fast food restaurant doesn't get used. When possible, I'll pick up watermelon, cheese or cream and make additional fast food items.
Kicking things up a notch
Go on in heed that the commercial buildings can all be upgraded to subtract the build times up to 20%. It's a big upfront cost, just over time can pay for itself. Have a look at the upgrade costs and benefits on the Commercial Build Time folio.

Allow me know what you lot retrieve?
The pull a fast one on with this is finding a combination of high rate items that allows you to have every bit many stores active every bit possible. Accept you thought of an alternate combination? I'd love to hear your ideas. Go out a comment below.
