Finally at Level 17. It would have happened much sooner, but then the cost more than doubled from ~ 150 million Bucks to ~385 million just when I had another two cycles to go.
I think my strategy now is to sell off anything which isn't a Bliss/Pop-suppressing or otherwise functional surging asset and replace them all with upgraded Bynums, and then only do the projects right before the next level, since some of the components have low values which will be making less income and can't be sold off until the next level-up.
At the current rate of income, excluding surges and gifts, I should be able to make level 18 in 12 days.
