Hi!
Yeah, you may be right. It's not very well balanced. Many of the systems there don't make sense or are very difficult to understand without seeing the underlying formulas. I went back to it now after a few years and noticed a whole lot of issues, some of which I started to rework but that never got released. City Clickers is definitely one of those games I'll get back to at some point but basically start from scratch. Anyway, +45 a day seems quite good. I started playing and got around to a similar value but had to build a water tower soon which ate into the budget. Though, I also have a loan I need to get rid of. I think it gets easier once you unlock the larger houses, especially with the water pumping station and large apartment buildings.
