Maximizing beach bonus

★ Apprentice
The beach items seem to overlap their bonus areas. Thus, do some houses get 30+30% gains from the marinas? If so, getting narrower beach items might increase the better bonus overlap. Yacht club will s 7 wide vs marinas 9 wide. I would guess the yacht club would increase populations more?

@Dentedhalo11 yes you're correct, if you have overlapping specializations of the same type then the population bonus is cumulative........... up to a maximum of 100% boost from any one type of specialization

 

so for example if you have one residence that is covered by one heliport you recieve 50% boost, if it is covered by a heliport and a balloon park you get a 80% boost (50+30), but if it is covered by two heliports and a balloon park (50+50+30) you only recieve a 100% boost

 

so in answer to your question ideally you want narrow beach buildings but with a wide boost area, sailormans pier can be a good one but it only reaches in land by 20 tiles

 

in any case the maximum population boost a residence can get is limited to 400% with a maximum of 100% from any one type

Maybe I'll buy a couple of the yacht clubs.

I have gotten populations of more than 22,000 for a single residence. This is for it an Omega building. I think the maximum is closer to 600%.
