Megapolis: Construction of Unique Contract Buildings

Which Contract Building Should I Buy First?

In this post, we are only looking at Unique Production Buildings that allow contracts and take up space in your city.  I will create a separate post that examines Production Buildings that take up no space (like the Zoo Administration Building).

This section will help you decide which unique Megapolis Production Buildings to invest your assets in first.  The main value we will use to compare buildings is Assets Per Max Rate (APM henceforth).  A lower APM for a selected building & contract is better than a higher APM.  A low APM means that you spend less assets in order to produce a reward rate in coins per minute.

In general, your top three choices are:

   1) Baseball Federation Headquarters (0.36 APM)
   2) Agora Tower (0.42 - 0.49 APM)
   3) Conrad Miami Hotel (0.57 - 0.68 APM)

Min APM Versus Max APM

In the table below, you will see that some buildings & contracts have two APM values on the far right.

Min APM: The APM rate if zero friends "help" you increase your profit for the contract.

Max APM: The APM rate if the maximum amount of friends "help" you increase your profit for the contract.

The table is sorted ascending by "Min APM" only, so the buildings & contracts listed towards the top of the list are more profitable at the cost of less assets.  In some cases, a building may move up on your list depending on how many of your Megapolis neighbors "help" to increase your profit for that contract.

Why is "Emergency Services Center" - "Cleaning Up the Aftermath" Low on the List?

With a coin rate of 45.33 per minute (higher than Baseball Federation Headquarters), you would think this one should be an obvious choice to invest your assets in first.  Unfortunately, you would have to invest 160 assets to get a slightly better coin rate per minute as opposed to the Baseball Federation Headquarters which only costs 15 assets to complete.


**Note: Some of the contracts in my table require additional infrastructure or constructed buildings to be completed before you may access that particular contract.  Don't worry, my "Assets" column takes additional construction costs into account if applicable.  For more details on those requirements, please visit the Megapolis Wiki page for that particular building.
