An update, 3 weeks later.
I mentioned Unurium, but immediately after my needs became Seeds, Seeds, Seeds, for the first third of the chapter. I added 11 Botanikums and commenced levelling my Sunset Towers (which needs to be lvl 12 or higher to be better than a Festival Merchant per tile per hour). It is currently lvl 7. The seed requirements stem from all the sentient goods I needed for research, and also the remaining upgrades I hadn't had space to upgrade in Chapter 18.
I finished the Fortress or Revenge research on the 07/06 (10 days into the chapter), but I purposely didn't build it then, as lvl 1 does nothing, it has no production. I focussed on completing other research that can be done without Settlement goods. I then finished building the portal yesterday, and built my first couple of Towers of Light. To get space I removed many mana producing buildings. I also needed more population to finish the manufactory upgrades and have enough for the future main hall, workshop and manufactory upgrades. I removed my Crab Hotels (Ch16 at 510 per tile) and put back in more lvl 42 residences (613 per tile) and other higher population per tile buildings won from events.
Elvenarchitect city layout today. The last lvl 18 magic residence will move west tomorrow, and I have left space to upgrade the final gems and two final crystal manufactories. I will then expand the breeding facilities east. I will also need to remove some festival merchants and move it all a few tiles west to fit the final breeding facilities to meet the quest (42) that requires 10 of them. I do have sufficient portal profits (3760%) for all the white and black magic I need, so may just choose to have less than 10 Towers except for the quest.
Production per day of resources:
28,800 Orcs
679,900 Mana (but was per previous post until two days ago)
206,504 Seeds
106,111 Unurium
Silk manufactory is lvl 33, and has commenced producing Ancient Refined Goods. One seems enough. I am on quest 19.
Vortex of Storage is lvl 23, Blooming Trader lvl 28. I do also have Timewarp lvl 31, which together with Vortex of Storage is helping with efficient sentient production.
I feel like I have been progressing quickly, but could come to a halt soon, as ascended production mentioned by others seems to take time to clear in the trader. I now also have the sense that I should increase Unurium production if I can find space. You can see I am fairly efficient on roads, at 259 tiles and 7.56%.
I have been using some longer time boosts to speed up some of the building upgrades recently, to commence them before reset etc, but saving up short time boosters for later in the chapter. I have 694 hours worth of boosters saved up.
