Central Market (BTDB2)

"Earns heaps of money each round and gives Merchantmen +10% income."

- In-game Description

 is the fourth upgrade of Path 3 for the Banana Farm in BTDB2. It quadruples the output of the Marketplace. It also boosts the income of all Merchantmen by +10%.

The tower generates 14 groups of bananas worth $160 each, giving it a net income each round of $2240. A 2-0-4 Central Market produces 18 bunches of bananas, each worth $160, for a total per round of $2880. A 0-2-4 Central Market produces 14 bunches of bananas, each worth $200, for a total of $2800 per round.

It costs $12,500.

Summary
The Central Market provides similar benefits to the Marketplace in a more compact form. Its especially useful on water maps such as Docks, both for its boosts to Merchantmen and for fitting in more money-generating power in a small space.

Overall, the Central Market makes less money than Banana Research Facility, although it is cheaper. It also lacks the burst power available to IMF Loan.

Tips

 * (1.0.5) Selling Marketplaces to buy a Central Market does not necessarily provide a net income boost or drop. For instance, if the player has 4 2-0-3 Marketplaces and a nearby Favored Trades, selling 3 Marketplaces will give almost exactly enough money to upgrade the 4th marketplace. Since the upgrade quadruples income, no income is gained or lost.
