Banana Central

Banana Central raises the value of each of the farm's 5 crates from $300 to $1,200, so it makes $6,000 per round on its own and $7,500 per round as a 5-2-0. It also gives every Banana Research Facility on the map +25% crate value, which is why it sits at the center of late-game farming.

When to buy it

Banana Central costs $115,000 on Medium, so it is a deliberate saveup. The usual approach:

1. Build two or three 4-2-0 Banana Research Facilities.
2. Place Marketplaces or Central Markets for extra income, ideally near a Favored Trades so they sell back at a high rate.
3. When the total is close, sell the temporary farms and buy Banana Central.

After that, fill spare space with 4-2-0 BRFs, which now get the +25% bonus.

Always build it as 5-2-0. Valuable Bananas is the best crosspath even in Least Tiers Boss Events, because Banana Salvage only adds sell value.

Buffs that stack on it

• Overclock adds about 80% production. You need two Overclocks for full uptime on a tier 5.
• Ultraboost adds permanent stacks of faster production.
• Monkey City adds 20% income in range.
• Geraldo's Fertilizer boosts it further.

Is it worth it?

In long games, Freeplay and Boss Events with income, yes. It is the highest-output single farm and it improves every BRF you already own. Monkey-Nomics only competes when rounds can be stalled for two ability uses, and Monkey Wall Street is weaker because its end-of-round cash ignores crosspaths and Overclock.

It has no place in CHIMPS, Deflation or any challenge with farms disabled. In a normal game ending at round 100, it only pays off if you buy it well before the late 80s.
