How to use it
Pick two buildings and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first building, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the value in credits. Try Nuclear Plant against Water Pipe to see top against floor.
Costs are one time build costs, not weekly upkeep. Upkeep per week rides in context and does not feed the converter. School variants like Countryside at 8000 and Large at 25000 exist in the education table; the row uses the base 10000 school and says so. DLC buildings sit outside base game rows.
