This is a new game that may be modified at any moment so it's hard to say what is 'best' yet. Just look at the prices of things. Housing gets more expensive as you buy more (as does AI, but AI has other benefits than increasing tax revenue). Mines seem to be stable in price, except that you need more AI to buy each new mine, so there is a 'surcharge' of sorts. The various 'improvements' probably aren't worth the investment until you have 100 housing or more.

I disagree here. Most of them are not worth it, but there are some that provide a very nice boost. The first improvement I bought was the Lunar Mall. You get an extra $100 per tax collection for a one-time cost of $1200; mine has already payed for itself. I also got the Wilderness Park and House of Worship. Together, they cause a 40% increase in population, which means a 40% increase in tax revenue (minus some for increase life support costs). I'm fairly sure these have also paid for themselves. I also grabbed a National Guard, mainly because it was cheap. It won't be paying for itself anytime soon, but it's still a nice bonus.

The rest of the improvements I'm holding out on until I get higher AI/Housing.
