Build-a-Lot 4: Power Source
Platform: Windows
Who knew that something as boring as real estate management would make a good time management game? Hipsoft, the creators of the wildly successful Build-a-Lot series, did, and boy were they right! The latest installment in the series, Build-a-Lot 4: Power Source, has arrived, bringing with it the same balanced and challenging gameplay with a brand new theme: energy efficiency.
All of the Build-a-lot games are built on the same premise: to develop a neighborhood with homes, shops, services, etc. while keeping an eye on resources like time, labor, building materials, and money. This makes for an entertaining and occasionally frantic time management game, attempting to meet all the needs of the community within a certain timeframe. Build-a-Lot 4 continues the same idea but adds something new and timely — dealing with the crumbling infrastructure of an aging and near-capacity power grid.
Gameplay in Build-a-Lot 4 is easy: you receive instructions from a mayor (or other source) in what the community needs. Simply click on a colored empty lot, select a structure, make sure you have the resources, and build. It is up to you to figure out how to provide those needs within a certain time-limit and budget. Should you concentrate on infrastructure first? Or build homes to increase your income? The permutations multiply with each level you move up as the demands from the communities become increasingly complex. Each community is a small, self-contained challenge which is kept track of in your handy-dandy day-planner (recycled from the "passport" of Build-a-Lot 3). Play one small campaign at a time or spend hours plowing through the multiple and escalating challenges.
In Build-a-Lot 4, the first and most important thing you need to track is available energy. Before you build a single thing you must assess the available power structure and add to it if necessary. This adds a layer of complication to the basic Build-a-Lot dynamic due to the fact that if you add a house or business without taking into account power needs, the entire neighborhood will black out. And since you cannot collect rent or money from businesses during a blackout, you need to fix the situation, fast!
Modern, so-called "clean" energy facilities are available to build, but watch out, like all complicated technology they can break down, causing wide-spread blackouts. Houses can be improved with up to three levels of energy efficiency, reducing the strain on the grid. The bigger the structure, the more drain on your power plants. Wind farms produce the least amount of energy but have the smallest negative footprint. Nuclear plants will produce the most energy, but have a correspondingly massive negative impact on the community. Who wants to live next to Three Mile Island?
Analysis: HipSoft has wisely kept the same basic game structure as the first three games of the series. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! As always new houses, facilities, and shops have been added for variety. There's no appreciable difference in the backgrounds from the third in the series (perhaps the walking paths are an exception) but no matter. The core of the game is to develop, develop, develop. Also retained from the previous game are the weather patterns, which still affect gameplay. Rain slows down outdoor construction, such as building or painting, and if it rains a lot in your community, perhaps a solar power plant is not the way to go.
A few layers of complexity have been stripped from the series' ongoing formula, dropping some aspects introduced by Build-a-Lot 3 and leaving more basic dynamic from the first two games. This allows the complexity added by the challenges of the power grid to fit snugly in the game without destroying the casual gameplay we love so dearly. And what complexity it is! A new occupation has been added to the workforce: the energy technician. Only technicians can repair power plants, make homes energy efficient, or supercharge a plant. They need their own support structure — a Tech Center — for training. Now instead of managing one labor force (construction workers) you are managing two. Twice the fun! In a Union-approved sort of way, of course.
Build-a-Lot 4 is, like the previous games, is divided into a Main Campaign (with the tutorial blessedly broken out as a separate, skippable unit) and a Casual Campaign, with two new ones added: a Challenge and an Expert Campaign, definitely for folks who have first mastered the basic levels. Although you are on a deadline, the pacing is such that this is one of the more relaxed time-management games, at least in the early levels. Casual gameplay at it's finest.
All in all, Build-a-Lot 4 is a fast-paced, entertaining time management game. Never mind the collapsed real estate market, get out there and build!

Build a lot 4: Power Source
General
You can replay every level by using the"Planner", in which your current achievements are displayed.
The costs for energy-savers are the same as the costs for upgrading a house.
There are two ways, you can use the low-ball offer to make profit.
1. You want to sell a house, but there is already another one of the market, which means, you will get less for your house. Make a low-ball offer, which will not be accepted (except there are two other house of the same kind for sale as well), the house goes off the market and you will get the full amount.
2. A house comes on the market. You already own tow houses of the same kind. Put up your houses for sale, make a low-ball offer for the other one. It will be accepted. Unlist your houses again. Now you can sell the purchased one for the full price. As bigger the house, as higher the profit. Or having a cheap house.
Do not paint or landscape houses while it is raining, if it is not necessary. While rain, the workers will be much slower.
There is a sound that warns you when the construction of a new building will exceed the currently available amount of power.
Additional to the Build-a-lot 1,2 and 3 games, where you didn't get rent, when a house is up for sale, is under upgrading or repair, you will here do not receive rent, when there is a blackout.
Additional goals are already included to this walkthrough.

Place the Workshop if possible on a side lot.

Expert Campaign
Level 1
Goal: 6 painted Condos, 3 Triple Energy Saver Duplexes, 1 Fancy Cinema, +150 Appeal, No Empty Lots
You will need a Nuclear Reactor to not spend money adding Energy Savers on others then the 3 Duplexes. As you have a +150 Appeal goal, make sure, that you place the Nuclear Reactor on a single lot. Try to get a scene, where at least one, better two single lots are already yours. The one with the water sign will never be free. But there is one top right and one low left. There is also a double lot low left. You can use this, when you can't get the two single lots.
You will need the Workshop for the entire level, so place it on a single lot (or both on the double lot).

Level 4
Goal: 11 Georgians, 8 Craftsmans, +200 Appeal
In the moment, you build the Nuclear reactor, you need to have a side lot for it. The lot next to the Nuclear Reactor hast to be an Amphitheater before you demolish the Nuclear Reactor at the end of the level.
Try restart, till you get a scene, where you already own one of the 6 side lots.
Its hard to reach the Speedy time here. So make sure, you know exactly what you do and do not waste time. Also you do not have much money. Make sure to buy what you need, not more, not less.
Sell each of the three A-Frames you own as quickly as you can, for full price.
While selling the A-Frames, build a Condo. Sell it, as soon as you sold all A-Frames. Do not paint the Condo.
As soon as the Condo has finished building, start building a Recycling Center.
As soon as the Recycling Center has finished building, buy 10.000 materials.
Don't buy any other properties yet unless you don't own a corner lot. In that case, you may buy the first empty corner lot that comes available, but only that 1 lot.
Build the workshop and buy the Lightning Efficiency and train 6 more workers.
Build the Nuclear Reactor on a corner lot.
Immediately build 2 Georgians, paint them, and upgrade each to 3 stars. Inspect them.
Don't waste time waiting to earn enough to buy units of 5.000 materials. Buy 2.500 units three times. Do not buy smaller units, this would be to expensive.
Add 2 Energy Savers to each of the Georgians - inspect them again.
At this point you can start buying property, but no more than 2 at a time.

Buy materials and build a 3rd Georgian, paint it, upgrade to 1 star, and add 3 Energy Savers.
Buy the Genius training.
Train additional Technicians till you have 12, workers till you have 15.
Keep building painted 1-Star Georgians and add 3 Energy Savers to each until you have 10. But don't start a new Georgian until all previous Georgians have at least 2 Energy Savers or you'll get a black-out.
Keep the Georgians inspected to avoid repairs.
Once you have at least 5 Georgians collecting rent, build the Garden Center and start landscaping everything.
You also have enough cash to buy all properties coming up on the market.
Once you have 10 Georgians, start on the Craftsmans. Just build them as quickly as you can. Just remember you still need to build the 11th Georgian also.
Paint the first 3 Craftsman, but you don't need to paint the last 3.
Landscape the first 4 Craftsmans, but you don't need to landscape the last 2.
Inspect your houses. You landscape your houses without loosing your inspection, but after adding Energy Savers, you will have to inspect them again.
Once all Georgians have 3 Energy Savers each and you have trained 12 Technicians, demolish the Tech Center and build a Craftsman there.
Buy 15,000 materials, demolish the Recycling Center.
Build the Amphitheater next to the Nuclear Reactor. It must be on that spot and no other, because if there is a house next to the Nuclear Reactor, the level won't count for you before the black-out hits.
Once all 11 Georgians and 4 Craftsmans have been landscaped, demolish the Garden Center and build a Craftsman there.
Demolish the Workshop and build a Craftsman there. It doesn't have to be painted or landscaped.
Once you've met all goals except the appeal goal. demolish the Nuclear Reactor. Make sure there is no worker activity like painting or constructing still going on or you'll go into black-out before winning the level.
Level 5
Goal: 1 Hydro Turbine, 1 Fancy Grocery Store, $10.000.000, 12 painted A-Frames
Have a look at the scene while building the first house. You will build 2 Nuclear Reactors, Recycling Center and Workshop first. As more of this you can place next to expensive houses as better for you. You will be pretty short in cash and every dime you can save while buying all buildings will be helpful.
Train 2 workers and build a Georgian. Upgrade it once and sell it immediately.
In the meanwhile, buy 100 units material and build a Recycling Center.
Buy material and build a Workshop.
Train 2 more workers and buy the Lightning Efficiency.
Do not buy any house! Build 2 Nuclear Reactors and a Cinema.

Buy the two Georgian, paint and upgrade them to 3 stars, add 2 Energy Savers each. Inspect.
Buy 15.000 units material and demolish the Recycling Center.
Build an A-Frame instead, paint it and add 3 Energy Savers
When you have around $5.000.000 cash, sell one of your Apartments for the full prize.

Level 6
Goal: 10 painted Condos, 6 Tennis Courts, Appeal 240+, Rent $150,000, 1 Fancy Boutique
In this level, you need to have at the beginning the right possibilities: On the top are 1 single lot and two double lots. The single lot, you will need for a Solar Tower, one of the double lots for a workshop and the Boutique.
As you want to have the Solar Tower and at least the Workshop early in the level, the single lot should be owned by you and at least one of lot of one of the double lots. The other one shouldn't be bigger than an A-Frame or Duplex. Without this constellation you will not be able to make the level in Speedy.
Also: To reach the appeal goal it is necessary, that you will have the middle and the low row build as followed:
Condo - Tennis Court - Condo-Tennis Court - Condo - Tennis Court - Condo.
One Condo you will own at the start. If it is not on a lot for a Condo, you will not be able to finish the level in Speedy.

Landscape all 11 Condos and demolish the Garden Center. Build the last Tennis Court.
Level 7
Goal: 2 Solar Towers, 9 Apartments, Appeal 100+, Rent $500,000
There are three very important things in this level: The first is, that you will have to place during the level three Solar Towers next to each other, in a way, that you start on a side lot. The third Solar Tower will be removed later and you have to build a house instead. But because of the appeal goal, you can only afford one house getting a negative appeal because of the Towers.
Second: You will keep the Workshop nearly to the end of the level and replace it by a Amphitheater. So make sure, that you place the Workshop between two houses.
Third: Do things in the right order - You can't afford to demolish one of the buildings to earlier, that will cost you speedy. And you can't afford to be in the beginning or middle of the level to long without energy. At the end, it is ok, as you have more than enough cash and only need to add Energy Savers to get the power back and win the level.
Train 4 workers and build an Appartment. Sell it immediately.

After 2 Georgians, add 3 Energy Savers each.
After 3 Georgians, you should have the material stack - so demolish the Recycling Center and build a Garden Center instead.
Landscape all Georgians.
After 5 Georgians you will be in need for a lot. Demolish the Nuclear Reactor and build the next Georgian there.
You will run into a blackout, but you have enough money and material to go on.
Do always first the painting, upgrading to 3 stars and landscaping as you have the speed of Lightning Efficiency, but no Genius Training.
Do not forget to train workers! This can make the difference between winning speedy or not.
