Project Highrise, Interesting Tips and Tricks

Just some quick tips and tricks to help make the game easier. Especially for harder difficulty levels.

Quick Tips which you may not know

Tips for making more money

• Once you build a Large Maintenance Office and turn on Auto-Renovate, Auto-Renovate will stay even if the office is removed. --- Large Maintenance Office, turn on Auto-Renovate then destroy the office, and any standard Maintenance Offices will continue to Auto-Renovate every evening
  
• Ground Level Lobbies Are Important. -- room degredation is accelerated by any foot traffic passing through them. Avoid having any rooms which lie in the path between left street side, main elevator and any public transport stop.
  
• If you are supplying everything a tenant wants, you should be asking for more rent. -- This can be done en-mass through the budget report, and Indivually for each room. These are not the same sliders, so you can have 120% for all residentual, as you meet the needs of most tenents, then drop those penthouse prices by 75% invidually because you are missing a need or 2.

Tips for better building layout and happyness

• Place your 1sr Maintenance Office adjacent to main elevator even if it needs to be above ground. -- Second should be near your basement staircase/elevator for quick utility box repair
  
• Utilities Only Breakdown if loading is above 95% --- Or there is an earthquake
  
• Some Larger Offices make both noise and smells --- Not all large offices should be built together

Tips for asthetics (and traffic)

• Building the second bus station to the right side of your building will cause foot traffic to come in from both sides.

Things to note when building upwards

• The maintenence cost of both stairs and elevators increases by $5 per day per level between levels 11-30. -- Both elevators and stairs cost $100 more per day to run at levels 30+
  
• The maintenece cost of both trash bins and utility closets increases at a rate of $0.5 per day from levels 11-30 --These objects cost $10 more per day at levels 30+
