Ecological Salvage/Scenario Guide: Difference between revisions

Money could be a huge problem in this scenario if you don't pay attention to the description where it says ''"You can sell the old buildings for salvage"''. Set up research & development—whatever order you want, there's not much to get—and borrow just $1,000. As this is a "free rides" park with a high loan interest rate (20%!), avoid taking huge loans at all costs.

 

 

Next, move around the map to see what scenery objects you can demolish once you purchase the land they are built on. Much of the oil refinery mentioned in the scenario description is located near the back of the park, and the land its buildings and scenery items are built on are also fully purchasable. The rest of the map also has a generous amount of scenery items that can be demolished for a profit once you buy the land they are on. The fishing holes strewn around the map give the greatest net profit upon demolition ($25 per tile), although they are relatively few. Demolishing the refinery buildings, as well as the pipelines, gives the greatest total profit due to their sheer size and length; parts of these buildings also have footpaths built, which can also be demolished for additional profit. Across the map, individual scenery objects that take up multiple tiles of space (such as the ice formation near the building you demolished) cannot be deleted unless all the tiles they are built on are purchased by you, although you will still get a profit for doing so. Do '''not''' purchase any land that only has fencing/walls (since demolishing these give no money) or trees (since demolishing trees cost money, which adds to the net cost of the tile it is on). You also cannot demolish the ice formation sitting alone on one of the icebergs since one side of it sits on tiles at the edge of the map, which cannot be purchased under any circumstances.

As this is a "free rides" park, you should ensure a constant flow of guests stepping through the park entrance gate, which can be easily achieved by either not building any Restrooms or closing the park down once every few months.

 

 

In Year 4, with the accumulated revenue you generated from your park running uninterrupted for the past 3 years, close your little park, demolish the rides you first built and set about building a real park. There aren't many options when it comes to rides, but you have enough different roller coasters to work with; following the strategy detailed above should give you sufficient funds to build enough rides to reach a park value of $200,000 over the course of 2 years, as the land you start out with is large and flat enough for whatever designs you want.
