Research buildings!

[Guest]

Where is it better to build research buildings?
& Please tell me what is the difference & why?

The best is to build them in the red area. The research is not more expensive, but much faster. Only the expansion costs a bit more

when you take a loo at the helpfile it says:
Industrial Area red
France, Germany, Turkey
-high wage level
-high spending capacity
-high building and producing fees
-research 20% faster
-companies produce 25% faster

A to the core expensive area. The high intellect of the inhabitant allows a 25% faster research as well as a 20% faster production of industrial products. But therefore the build and expansion costs are very high. But put producing places in the cheap foreign countries would cause less demand and despite of high prices there would only be a little exchange possible.

Conclusion: take the red zone, it costs more but the research is much faster. for example, reseaching lvl 6 costs 87 h. 12 min another zone costs 29 hours longer

In the long run I would say red, as there is only so much expansion u can do (there is a limit to the size of the buildgin, right? (something like 300,000 qm)) But id ask the question....

For the foresabel future, say next 2 months, ure not gonna max ure land out... so why not build in a green area, where it is cheaper to expand. With the same amouint of money (i havnt worked out, just giving an overview) you may be able to have a 60 qm RC in a green for the same price as a 20 qm RC in the red area. Even tho u get 25% more, the fact that RC in the green area is 3 x bigger means production is roughly 300% more than orignal.

Has anyone calculated this?

(btw i have a strange feeling someone is going to ask me to explain casue they dont understand my point )

The maximum is aprox 32.767 qm.

Now the time and costs for research:

Phoenix Oil is right, but you have to compare a 60 qm RC in the green area with a 30 qm RC in the red area. (expansion costs red: 3750 caps, green: 2250 per qm).

So if you take these qm, you get the following times:
Research Quality 4 - 5: red: 1 day, 10 hrs, 8 min
green: 21 hrs


Research quality 15-16: red: 45 days, 13 hrs, 8 min
green: 28 days, 11 hrs, 40 min

omg...

So green is way better

And i have my RC in red! Im gonna have to build a new one in the green and expand it like mad

I wish i knew this b4 i expanded my RC in the red!

There is something not calculated in the expansion cost here, and that is the cost of materials, it is my personal belief that when you factor in these hidden (less talked about) costs the caps difference becomes not so great when deciding to build in red or green, and then when you take into account the area bonuses, the potential pitfuls, Red becomes alot more attractive again.

I did an example of this in this thread. (not RC's) but you should see what i'm trying to say.
