A little visual help to all the numbers...
This is a network graph based on the numbers in Cap'n Saccade's excellent guide. He's a maths genius but the numbers were driving me nuts, so I plugged them into a spreadsheet to visually map the best proximity between buildings. I'm no data analyst so this is rudimentary at best, I'm sharing this in the hopes others better than me can improve it :)

Modifications from Cap'n Saccade's raw data:

  • Added some update content (monument, balloon etc.), may be incomplete, feel free to alert me or add yourself. Didn't add seaweed pack, they only (+)Plateau, (-)Resort Oasis, so just do that.
  • Removed most of Statue and City Centre's contributions, otherwise they'd skew the whole graph. Seeing as you can't place everything near them, I only kept their largest contributions (e.g. to Temple), so it's clear to plan them near that.

I'd rather the graph factored in negative numbers so to distance incompatible buildings, not sure if it did, again, hoping someone more skilled can take over :p

Lastly this can't factor in Cap'n Saccade's other ingenious strategies, such as lumping together Lumberjacks despite the initial negative hit for later jackpots, which is why I'd recommend reading the entirety of his comprehensive guide, with this as a side visual guide for those of us less gifted in raw numbers ;)

Hi! I created this app based on your idea, you can select a single building and see its related building scores in the network. Hope it helps! https://islanders-guide.now.sh/

Interesting analysis - well done!

I've you'd like to replace the nodes with pictographs, I will (eventually) be ripping/redrawing the pack/piece assets - also, if you'd like to take over the score and strat. guide, I'd be happy to make you a contributor and grant ownership (to keep the rating) - what you've made here is a very interesting graphic representation that, at least some people, might find incredible useful.

gg!
