For upgrades how do you unlock the buildind to upgrade? Sorry started playing this game 2 days ago

From my experience so far too many people can lead you to shortages in food/drink/lifestyle. Plan ahead, it's not as rocky. I go slow. stockpiling materials and final completed products before I let the people upgrade. Stockpiling especially if the resource requires a trade route. You're fairly free to spam houses if you have all your needs in order and don't notice constant drops in supply. That aside once the workers get up a tier or two you should see an exponential jump in your income. Personally I only make as many people as I need for the next unlock, and then preparing for the next tier. Also something I didn't notice at first was trade depots/ports can be upgraded which is very helpful - as well as making highways/etc for faster delivery of materials.

For upgrades check other characters, they'll have random upgrades which can be changed for a price. Research I beleive also yields upgrades, though I haven't got that far in it myself. You'll need access to SAAT blueprints, they should prompt you when those are available. You build up lab assistants and get them to researchers, then with enough researchers you can unlock the academy. Numbers required for unlocking structures should state when you tool over the building build icon.

I hope this helps.

I have no problems and my economy is healthy until I start dealing with scientists and build my first underwater base.

That’s very expensive and for a long time I am in red numbers.

When numbers are green again things become more painful, spam more houses increase the goods required, suddenly you see your numbers turning red, you check out and they ran out of life style objects, to make more factories and collect more resources for them… Spam a bit more houses and now they want more luxury food….

It’s an endless battle and you start to lack space in your islands.

Still a fun game.

The base game only offers two ways of making money.

1) Build LOTS of houses & advance your civilization. (Tycoons provide more Tax Income per capita than Ecos).
2) Trade with NPCs.

If you have the Deep Ocean expansion, it offers an additional way of making money. You can buy shares off islands to increase your income via dividends.

Housing is the primary source of money, it's usually good to max out first tier housing and prevent them from advancing to stock up money. Trading is a good secondary source of money, as long as you manage to make profitable trade routes. It helps if the resource you are selling is in demand by the seller. Good luck :D
