Drugwars: Crunching the Numbers

Everyone on Steem should be familiar with Drugwars by now, so I will skip the introduction. The key to becoming a successful drug lord while getting a decent ROI is a clever investment of resources. I asked some fellow narcos, but it seems that nobody has calculated and published the ROI of all buildings yet, and since I am tired of doing this before every upgrade and have some time to kill at the airport since my flight to Sri Lanka is delayed, I decided to start a sheet calculating the ROI of different building upgrades:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18kkNwAkWupOMUV0rIq_PJXc27trD3i5DEfofXO5JOEU/edit?usp=sharing

How is the ROI calculated?

The ROI is defined as follows: Increase in production gained by the upgrade divided by the cost of the upgrade in resources (weapons/alcohol). The cost in drugs is not considered since usually more drugs are produced than can be spent on upgrades.

How to use the sheet

The sheet is very useful when determining which building to upgrade first. For example, one who owns one Cochina at Level 1 and is wondering if he should upgrade the Cochina to Level 2 first or rather get a Level 1 Hydroponic Farm can compare the ROI - the Hydroponic Farm wins.

Help completing the sheet!

I would appreciate if you help with filling in more numbers in the sheet! For now, anyone has write access. Columns for higher levels can be added when there is demand.
