# Leveling and Experience Gain ES **What is covered in this guide:** 1. Operating Buildings and Recreation Buildings 2. Level Breakdown 3. New Construction 4. Abundance Buildings (Quarry, Mine, Oil Rig) 5. Upgrading Buildings 6. Sales Offices --- #### Operating Buildings and Recreation Buildings **Experience** is gained from running your buildings and recreation buildings. Idle buildings do **NOT** gain experience. 12 experience per hour per building 40 experience per hour per level for recreation building (**Note**: you will not get the experience from the recreation building until the 7 days are complete). --- **Buildings** 12 experience per hour per building 12 experience x 1 hour = 12 experience 12 experience x 12 hours = 144 experience If you have 2 buildings that now changes to 24 experience per hour If you have 5 buildings that now changes to 60 experience per hour ...and so on... --- **Recreation Building** (park, castle, lake): 40 experience/hour/level There are 168 hours in 1 week. Recreation buildings run off of 40 Sim Boosts for 1 week (168 hours). Need to run recreation buildings for all 168 hours to gain the experience. 40 experience x 1 levels x 168 hours = 6720 experience 40 experience x 2 levels x 168 hours = 13440 experience 40 experience x 3 levels x 168 hours = 20160 experience --- #### Level breakdown:

ExperienceToNextLevel is how much needed to level up. --- #### New Construction When constructing **new** buildings there is a gain of ~36.5 experience an hour. This number fluctuates due to rounding. --- #### Abundance Buildings (Quarry, Mine, Oil Rig) When prospecting for abundance; you are scrapping and rebuilding (**new construction**) the same building over and over. Which in turn gains more experience than a running a building with production or selling. Here is a table breaking down the experience gained. It is comparing the time taken for producing/selling and comparing it to the experienced gained for Prospecting (scrapping and rebuilding - new construction). Example: A quarry takes 3 hours for new construction. It gains 110 experience; while a building producing/selling for that same 3 hours only gains 36 experience. The difference is 74 more experience gained.
**Buildings** **Hours** **Prospecting XP** **Normal Bld XP** **Difference**
Quarry 3 110 36 74
Mine 4 146 48 98
Oil Rig 4 146 48 98
**Notes:** 1. XP = experience 2. The difference is how much more experience gained over the hours listed verses a normal building used during that same time period. 3. Reminder that normal building experience is 12 experience per 1 hour. --- #### Upgrading Buildings There is zero (0) experience earned from upgrading buildings. Any building upgrades that is for level 2+ will not gain any experience. --- #### Sales Offices (SO) As we know from earlier that every building in the game gets 12 experience per hour (producing/selling). What happens with Sales Offices is the game divides experience by the levels. The experience is gained from the 47 hour searches and **Delivered** contracts. Any **Rejected** orders do **NOT** give experience. 12 x 47 \[hours\] = 564 experience (FIXED) Each SO gets 564 experience as long as you **DELIVER** all the contracts. 12/levels = each hour 564/levels = experience per 47 hours (delivering all the contracts in SO) **Delivering:** SO 1 Level; 1 Delivered contract = 564 experience SO 2 Levels; 2 Delivered contracts = 564 experience (each contract is 282; 282+282 = 564) SO 10 Levels; 10 Delivered contracts = 564 experience (each contract is 56.4; 56.4 x 10 = 564) **Delivering and Rejecting:** SO 1 Level; 1 Rejected contract = 0 experience SO 2 Levels; 1 Delivered and 1 Rejected contract = 282 experience (each contract is 282; 282 + 0 = 282) SO 3 Levels; 1 Delivered and 2 Rejected contracts = 188 experience (each contract is 188; 188 + 0 + 0 = 188)
