Now that credits are 350ish, housing is a much better investment. Up until the Beach House, at which point endurance is a better investment. The increase in happiness from the Beach House to Arco House only yields about 5-7 more development points per train. (The higher your level and the more endurance you have its going to be higher.)
By the math I had done, the additional 100 happiness for 5 mil was indeed worth the investment, and even more so with credits being so expensive.However, unless credits hit 500 per, housing will not be worthwile past the arcology.
I'm speaking from personal experience not math. And you can get more than 5 dev points per train with 5 mil worth of credits.
I don't understand how what you said had anything to do with what I said. The amount dev points you get from upgrading housing/endurance has to do with the amount of energy you have to work with.
for the sake of even numbers, a person with 40 energy wiill see X gained per train from Y endurance.
But someone with 80 energy will see twice the dev points gained per train from Y endurance, just because they have twice the energy to begin with.
Edit: Housing works a little differentlybecause doing a full train with 60 energy calculates the same as 60 1 energy trains starting with full happiness.
Housing is a diminishing return albeit a liquid asset, whereas endu is set in stone and affects every training equally.
