Project Name: Fiber Internet
Project Requirements: none
Project Cost:
money: $1,000,000,000
aluminum: 20,000
steel: 20,000
gasoline: 20,000
munitions: 20,000
Project Effect: Increases the commerce rate in each city by 10%, and increases the maximum commerce rate by 10%
notes:
The total cost of this project with today's resource prices is around 1.2b. For a city with 2500 infra (250,000 population) this would equate to $217,500 a day from the commerce rate added from the project. So in the case of a city 34 with 250,000 population per city ($7,395,000 for 34 cities), this would take around 162 days to reach ROI. I think the profits of this after ROI might be a bit too high so either increasing the resources required or lowering the commerce rate should help balance it.
