I know this board is pretty much dead at this point, but I only recently started playing this game and I have been working on Chapter 13 for about 3 or 4 days, and I simply can't get the 5 star rating in gold time. My closest time has been about 32 seconds behind gold, but it's never consistent as to what will and won't work to get the rating up.

Mostly I get a 5 star when I get each building type up to about a 4 or 5 level, and I have (2) Hangar 2 and (2) Fusion 2, and have sold all the underling buildings for those two. But I simply can't get this to happen at 28:00.

Does anyone have a workable walkthrough, or at least some good hints as to what might speed me up?

Well, I posted too soon. I finally got it (incomprehensibly) at 31:22 by just doing the same thing over and over again.

Basically, I did:
(pretty sure this order is *close*)
(I turn a lot of stuff off and back on if I don't have power to build)
(I tend to set my appeals at max and mess with power a lot)

Singles, Chem Lab, Collector Prototype
When CP completed, Solar Prototype
Hall of Records
Lemonade Stand, News Stand, Flower, Janitors
Generator
Sold Chem Lab, built Observatory
Build Dymo Generator
Built Arcade, Pawn Shop, Radio, Herb Garden
Sold Hall of Records, Built Museum

Build Garage 2 (set at max)
Sell Singles, buy Skating Rink

Sell Janitors, buy Hangar 1 (set at max)

.... Around this time, the rating maxed. But I assume you can continue upgrading in the similar manner.
