Comprehensive Breakdown of All Tower Floor Costs
As I've created my tower and added floors, I've collected data on the items needed to complete each floor. The requirements for the floors do follow a pattern, and so, even though I have not completed my tower fully, I have projected the ingredients out for all the floors.
Note that if I have done my math wrong, or the actual system has some kind of leap in the ingredients somewhere that I could not have predicted with my data, then this could be inaccurate.
===========================================
The original project for a Tower, before you can enter, which also gives you your Floor 1, Storey 2 costs 20 Urth Blocks, 1 General Building Permit, 200 Snails, 20 Breaking Ground (Shovel) Work Units, 4 Girders, 16 Wall Segments, 20 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units.
Floor Ingredients
Floor 2, Storey 3: 8 Wall Segments, 40 Urth Blocks, 8 Girder, 24 Snails, 25 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units, 4 Beams, 8 Metal Bars, 53 String, 1 General Building Permit, 25 Elevation (Tinkertool) Work Units
Floor 3, Storey 4: 8 Wall Segments, 60 Urth Blocks, 12 Girders, 24 Snails, 30 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units, 6 Beams, 12 Metal Bars, 106 String, 1 General Building Permit, 30 Elevation (Tinkertool) Work Units
Floor 4, Storey 5: 8 Wall Segments, 80 Urth Blocks, 16 Girders, 24 Snails, 35 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units, 8 Beams, 16 Metal Bars, 159 String, 1 General Building Permit, 35 Elevation (Tinkertool) Work Units
Floor 5, Storey 6: 8 Wall Segments, 100 Urth Blocks, 20 Girders, 24 Snails, 40 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units, 10 Beams, 20 Metal Bars, 212 String, 1 General Building Permit, 40 Elevation (Tinkertool) Work Units
Floor 6, Storey 7: 8 Wall Segments, 120 Urth Blocks, 24 Girders, 24 Snails, 45 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units, 12 Beams, 24 Metal Bars, 265 String, 1 General Building Permit, 45 Elevation (Tinkertool) Work Units
Floor 7, Storey 8: 8 Wall Segments, 140 Urth Blocks, 28 Girders, 24 Snails, 50 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units, 14 Beams, 28 Metal Bars, 318 String, 1 General Building Permit, 50 Elevation (Tinkertool) Work Units
Floor 8, Storey 9: 8 Wall Segments, 160 Urth Blocks, 32 Girders, 24 Snails, 55 Construction (Construction Tool) Work Units, 16 Beams, 32 Metal Bars, 371 String, 1 General Building Permit, 55 Elevation (Tinkertool) Work Units
(I'm assuming that when they say 9 floors, they mean nine stories, not the number on the elevator menu.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Not including the original base of the Tower, Wall Segments, Snails, and General Building Permits stay a constant of 8, 24, and 1, respectively. Urth Blocks start at 40, and increase by 20 each time. Girders and Metal Bars start at 8, and increase by 4 each time. Construction Work Units and Elevation Work Units start at 25, and increase by 5 each time. Beams start at 4, and increase by 2 each time. String starts at 53, and increases by 53 each time.
============================================
TOTAL (Floors Only) --- Boring Math Breakdown
This totals out to 56 Wall Segments, 700 Urth Blocks, 140 Girders, 168 Snails, 280 Construction Work Units, 70 Beams, 140 Metal Bars, 1484 String, 7 General Building Permits, and 280 Elevation Work Units.
Which equals 56 Beams, 224 Wood Posts, 672 Boards, 840 Barnacle Talc, 3500 Lumps of Earth, 1400 Lumps of Loam, 700 Heavy Gas, 1120 Molybdenum Ingots, 1680 Plain Metal Ingots, approximately 21 Metal Rods (168 / 8 = 21) plus at least 3 fully rocked out sloths, loads of energy, 280 Wood Posts, 280 Copper Ingots, 420 Tin Ingots, 7420 Thread, 3500 Currants (7 * 500 Currants = 3500 Currants) plus 7 dramatic entrances to the Bureaucratic Hall and 70 whole seconds of waiting, and loads of energy.
Which happens to equal 720 Wood Posts, 672 Boards, 840 Mortar Barnacles, 3500 Lumps of Earth, 1400 Lumps of Loam, 4200 General Vapor, 2800 Plain Metal Ingots, 5600 Blue Elements, 56000 Sparkly Elements, approximately 21 Metal Rods, 700 Plain Metal Ingots, 8400 Green Elements, 16800 Red Elements, 3360 Red Elements, 3360 Blue Elements, 3360 Green Elements, 51940 Fiber, 3500 Currants.
Which just happens to equal 3552 Boards, 840 Mortal Barnacles, 3500 Lumps of Earth, 1400 Lumps of Loam, 4200 General Vapor, approximately 21 Metal Rods, 3500 Plain Metal Ingots, 20160 Red Elements, 8960 Blue Elements, 11760 Green Elements, 56000 Sparkly Elements, 51940 Fiber, and 3500 Currants.
Which finally equals 14208 Planks, 840 Mortal Barnacles, 3500 Lumps of Earth, 1400 Lumps of Loam, 4200 General Vapor, approximately 21 Metal Rods, 17500 Chunks of Metal, 20160 Red Elements, 8960 Blue Elements, 11760 Green Elements, 56000 Sparkly Elements, 51940 Fiber, and 3500 Currants.

14208 Planks
840 Mortal Barnacles
3500 Lumps of Earth
1400 Lumps of Loam
4200 General Vapor

- Thanks!
- Oh wow. I had been wondering if it increased in cost per level! Thanks for the breakdown!
- Awesome work, Pali.
- Thank you so much Palindrome, this is awesome!
- Wow! Great information! Thanks for collecting and most especially for doing the math! :-)
- I'm thinking of all that iMG you can get just collecting all these materials! Thanks for the list!
- thanks palindrome - i was wondering too !
-
Very helpful - thanks so much, Palindrome!
☺ - Crikey, very useful Palindrome! (glad I'm stopping at 4 floors!)
-
After the initial 20K iMG, I had that I needed these resources for the initial build:
20 blocks, a building permit, 200 snails, 16 wall segments, and 4 girders. I didn't track the amount of work from the construction tool and the shovel though...but 20 and 20 looks about right.
Thanks so much for the rest of the list...this is really helpful for planning! - Thanks, b3achy :) Since I got it from two sources, I think it should be right.
-
Thanks Palindrome!
this is helpful information! - Nice one Pali :D
- How about ingredients for fuel cells used in the process? (have fun with that math :p)
- Thanks for taking the time to make this!!!!!
- Would you need less if you used immortal barnacles?
-
Heh heh, Lemo, work costs are not covered in this :P
Immortal barnacles... if only. - Oh My Gosh!!!! This is like imposible!!! I very, very highly praise everyone who hoarded enough. This is insane!! Great chart though lol
-
Thank you for this! Bumping so it stays up so people see it.
That's... a lot of planks. Those poor trees. ;) - This is fantastic! Thank you! Soon I'll start collecting ALL THE RESOURCES.
- Wow! This is really useful information. Thanks Palindrome.
-
I'm looking at this list.. and it doesn't even look so hard to get (except Loam, Earth and Fiber) :D
Thanks for the list :D -
FWIW, the "most efficient" way to get the elements from Chunks:
9334 Chunks of Sparkly
304 Chunks of Dullite
0 Chunks of Beryl
You can also use 11,760 Chunks of Sparkly and 0 Dullite. - -shivers- So...much...stuff -dies-
- Thank you Sturminator, I was going to go calculate that at some time or the other. :)
-
Thank you so much for making this! I usually type it in the chat then go to my house. I had a power outage and when I came back online it was gone from my chat! I did not want to have to go all the way back to my tower to find out what I needed again.
Thank you! *bookmarks* - Mortal Barnacles :)
-
So much stuff, but so much lumps of earth. *faints* Also so much fiber :O and wow, so much metal!!
Wish it could be used less fiber and less earth. Those are a pain to get, especially earth. :( - I'm exhausted just reading this list.
- Holy cow. I think I'll stick to visiting others' towers!
- betcha there's an achievement for it. :D looks like I'm going to be busy and I haven't expanded my house fully yet.
- *hip check* Bump!
- You are awesome Palindrome!!!
-
Ok, so how much does it all weigh?!
Just kidding! It's actually a real eye opener, and shows just where all the stuff, that took you days
(maybe even weeks) to collect, went. ~and then you stand there, part of you is marvelling at what
you have created, while the rest is wondering where the devil all your stuff went!
Thanks for taking the time to work it all out and posting it for us all to see! =) - very helpful- thank you!
- Now that I've decided to go ahead and build my tower (which will probably remain empty once I've completed it), this tool is helping me find out exactly what I need to build the remaining floors all at once in a massive tower-building construction FrEnZy. Thanks, Palindrome!
- Thank you for this list! :)
- Bump. Very helpful!
- Extremely helpful....thank you
- Wow... *bookmarks* I was thinking about starting my tower after I finished expanding my house.... I was also thinking about starting a horde after I finished my house.... now I am going to need a massive collection just to even think about starting my tower....
- thanks for this! Super useful!
- Nevermind all the fuel cells it'll take to use the Metal Maker, Wood Worker and Block Maker Machines...mah brain hurts just thinking about it!
- *bump*
- Thanks for posting this Palindrome.
-
Palindrome, may I add your findings to the Glitch section of my forum? (with proper credit, of course) ^__^
It's so easy to lose track of great info like this, but it's easy to find when there's a special place for it ;) -
Every time this thread is bumped, I fear that the recipes have somehow changed, and that I will have to collect even more stuff...
But hooray for keeping it going, so that glitchen have a chance to see this awesome breakdown! - See how easily it gets lost? :p I had no idea this thread was 2 weeks old~
- Did you add the cost of making fuel to fuel your block/metal/wood/fuel makers?
-
does any one know if it is the same amount of each ingredient... to all player levels? I have the first floors data from player level 42 and they match.
Palindrome, do you mind if I use the floor ingredients for each floor in my site? - I will calculate the cost of fuel cells and post them here...
