Protection racket and amount of money the generate

[AbbyHeart]

Is there list how much different businesses pay for protection or are they random amounts or are they "bugged"?

I started a seed with two hotels (Call bell icon) together and with Union building down the road (Picket banner icon) and they net like 600$+ every time i collect (only these 3 building), tried another seed and with one Hotel and i get only 70$ per pickup!?

Fronts collect a set amount of money per month from each business being extorted in their corner's range (minus their expenses).

If you leave a corner extorting 2 businesses for 1 month without expenses it will generate $40. If you pick up that turn, you'll get $40. If you wait another month without picking up, they'll have $80 for you.

You are probably seeing different amounts because of one of those two reasons. Either one front is extorting more businesses or you are collecting from it less often.

thanks for clarification :)

i guess its a bug or something, as two hotels don't have any other building around that is being extorted and every collection round they generate huge amounts of money.

So basically it doesn't matter what the icon is when you extort the business, in theory every place that you extort should give 40$ per cycle?

20$ per month, the example with 40$ given above was for 2 places being extorted and without costs.
25$ per with the protection racket skill as your starter skill.

What's the seed, city and starting ethnicity?

I haven't seen anything like this and I'd like to see what's going on.

This is interesting. I would be interested in seeing a more dynamic protection result. The idea that some scrapyard pays the same protection as a fancy hotel is not logical.
