Sparky’s Fireworks Limited Time Building (LTB) – Payout and Update Costs

It’s time for a new LTB and to celebrate the 4th of July we have Sparky’s Fireworks. It’s a big building with a big cost. This bad boy will take $150 million if you want to add it to your collection. From there you’re going to have to pony up some serious cash. The payout becomes fairly decent at Level 6, but the cost is pretty damn high. The only redeeming quality is the 8hr payout cycle, but that can also be a curse. This building just screams "Rob me!" This building will most certainly get robbed in the wee hours of the night. The total cost of upgrading is $37 billion with no mods. Good Lord! Best case it’ll cost you $18 billion. For that investment you might get $52 million per day. That’s not bad, but it’ll take you years to get your money back out of this building. So, is it worth it? To be honest, no. […]

Banished – It takes a village

I started my village over to try and recover from all the mistakes I made the first time around. Such is the way with these sorts of games. I have no doubt this started village will end in tears as well. But, I made what I thought was decent progress. I managed to build a house for each citizen to shelter them from the elements and stockpiled fish, stone, iron, logs and firewood. I only have a few villagers to choose from so allocated jobs is a little tricky. I did manage to get a tailor set up, but I think I made a mistake by setting up a pasture when I have no livestock. Ooops. I’m clearcutting the hell out of the forest and I’m not sure 1 person allocated for forestry is going to undo the damage I’m causing. It is neat that trees will regrow and baby animals will appear. I think my biggest accomplishment was placing […]

Banished – Starting life over in a strange new land

In all the Steam offerings I picked up a new game called Banished and it has me quite intrigued. The concept is simple, you control a group of villagers who are starting life over in a new land. Why they’ve been banished from their homes remains a mystery, but they’ve left with nothing more than a few articles of clothes and whatever else fit in their cart. To that end they have to build houses, find food, gather wood, build tools, farm and hopefully build a trade center so they can trade with other villages. It may sound simple and perhaps not even that complicated or engaging, but I jumped into this game with both feet, dropped into the tutorial and found there is a lot of depth here. You need to get houses built as quickly as possible so your villagers can stay warm. You need to get your farms up and running before people starve. You need to […]
