Hi everyone,
When you upgrade the town buildings what do you upgrade first: Visitor slots, time, money, experience?
For me, number of slots, then time reduction
I did not bother with experience or coin because it does not give me anything new
Slots. I'm currently still working on time reduction. After that, I'm not sure! :)
Agreed -- visitor slots, then time, then reputation points and lastly coins (if you are like me and have to "complete" everything).
Does that mean that eventually you can upgrade them all fully, when you reach a high enough reputation level, sorry I'm only level 53 so not too high
Yes! I think you'd need to reach town reputation level 38 (and lots of expansion materials), so it will take a while... but yes, you can eventually have 6 slots, 6 time reductions, and 6 upgrades on both exp/reputation AND coins, on all buildings!Quote:

I believe the town expansion opportunities stop after town reputation level 38:
Town Hall: max 42
Shops, max lv 38: 6 customers, 40% time, 60% rep, 60% coins
Train Station: max capacity 14
Personal train: lowest maintenance time 1:30 hour
ETA: Ninja'd by Elluna!
For most visitor slots but for the B&B I worked on time reduction first because it always took a crazy long time.
my way:
a)first 4 places
b)after this experience; except grossery store and gift shop => money
c)upgrade to six places
d)time
I do not have so much play time, so the reduction of time was not helpfull for me.
^ This. And I did the Bed and Breakfast and Spa upgrades first to reduce the time. For the time being, my buildings that also use BEM and SEM are a bit behind the town level.Quote:

first i upgraded to 6 slots in each building.
simultaneously i was maxing out town hall capacity, eggspress capacity, personal train capacity and time reduction.
then it was maxing time reduction on bed and breakfast and spa as they take the longest
then coin upgrade to bed and breakfast and spa, and a few of the others as ug materials allow. currently i'm working on the gift shop.
the buildings that require BEM and SEM in addition to the TEM have received very few of the time or coin upgrades, and will have to wait until i'm more comfortable with the barn (and to lesser extent silo). that may be a while.
For me it was slots, then time reduction and XP/rep (depending on the building, one may seem more important to you), then coin as a last priority.
At first I did a few upgrades towards coin. But, I was reading those that were of higher levels wished they didn't do coins because eventually coins don't become an issue when playing. But, as you upgrade the buildings, they require more materials each time it is upgraded, and since the materials can be difficult to sometimes obtain, it becomes more difficult overtime to upgrade the buildings.
Eventually when I max out xp/rep, I will then focus more on time reduction. Eventually, I will get to coins, but that will be of least priority.
i've read people saying that too.. personally i like shopping in paper, it is part of the way i play and strategy for trucks, townies, etc. i don't even have all the machines i should, and still barely keep an even level on coin lol, i don't necessarily see that changing.Quote:

i've still got a few levels to 100, and will probably still be catching up on machines... so for now maxing the coin over xp seems a better investment.
I think the ability to get the extra fields is probably what drives that thought. I know currently, it can be difficult to maintain a certain amount of what is needed to keep production of some items running as efficiently as possible. I am imaging the extra fields fill that void (without having to rely on the DD).Quote:

If I didn't have to spend full price on strawberries, my profit margins on cloche hats would significantly increase. But, because I need those fields to keep other stuff growing, it is a loss I have to accept at this stage.
So, I guess maybe a balanced approach when considering XP/coin could be better. Slots and time reduction for some buildings though I do think overshadow both xp/coin though.
For the town, I stopped doing coin and experience upgrades because I did not need the coin and the experience points are useless to me because levelling up in town does not lead to new things.
the EMs are of better use on the farm for me.
This for me tooQuote:

Next, I upgrade every buildings Rep/XP ONCE! Because even Grocery Store & Gift Shop will give +1 Rep with just 1 level up.
Third round
Time Reductions - Bed & Breakfast & Spa
XP/Rep Boost - Cinema, Diner & Beach Cafe
Coin Boost - Grocery Store & Gift Shop
Once above are maxed
Time Reductions - Cinema & Diner
XP/Rep Boost - Bed & Breakfast, Spa, Grocery Store & Gift Shop
Coin Boost - Beach Cafe
Perhaps it goes without saying, but to really take advantage of the extra slots in each building, you need to consistently upgrade the town hall and the train station. No sense in getting extra slots when there is no one to use them. On some buildings that rarely fill up, you don't necessarily have to get to 6 slots before upgrading one of the other choices.
I can confirm that Raelet is correct on the above information. I reached Town Reputation Level 41 a few days ago and all buildings are maxed out except the Gift Shop which is at 55% for coins.Quote:

Wow, I knew you had been playing for a while Lynn, but not that long! *bows*Quote:
