Cog Buildings
Cog Buildings are the daunting offices that plague the Streets of Toontown! Cog Buildings are created when a Cog enters a Toon building and takes it over. Each Cog Department has a unique style to the exterior of the building. More difficult Cog Buildings can be found in later Neighborhoods. Unlocking the Cog Radar in your Cog Gallery will allow you to see Cog Building locations on the street map. Hovering over the icon will show you how many floors that building has.
Immune Areas
Cogs are unable to take over Toon buildings required for the Main Taskline.
High-Dive Hills is a protected District, meaning no Cog Buildings will spawn in this District.
General Information
Cog Buildings range from 1 story all the way up to 6 stories. The story count is indicated by the amount of circular lights above the elevator. Each story, or floor, houses a Cog battle with the possibility of more Cogs filtering in through the elevator. Toons will have to face more and more Cogs per floor as they progress through the building. Toons will enter through the boiler room, and fight their way up to the top floor. In the case of 5 and 6 Story buildings, the final floor will have Toons battle on the roof. After completing a floor, Toons will have 90 seconds to enter the elevator, taking them to the next floor. Failing to do so will have them teleported back to the Playground.
The building's story count is dependent on the level of Cog that created it.
Note: The tier of building determines the level range of Cogs spawned inside it.

- Boss - the guaranteed executive Cog that spawns on the top floor.
- Level Pool - the total amount of levels of all Cogs in the building, excluding the boss. These values vary per building.
Cogs
The level range of Cogs inside these offices depends on how many floors the building is and the Neighborhood it is located in. There is always a "boss" on the final floor of a building, who has the highest level and is always an Executive Cog. Other Cogs have a 25% chance of spawning as Executives. The Cogs found inside a building are not affected by Cog Invasions.
Gag Experience
Cog Buildings have bonus Gag experience multipliers equal to the story count of the building (e.g. 1 story for +1x XP (2x), 6 story for +6x XP (7x)). This multiplier is given throughout the entirety of the building. Gag experience is not affected by Cog Invasions.
Rewards
Defeating a building and saving its shopkeeper rewards Jellybeans The amount of jellybeans you get increases the higher the story count. By defeating buildings, Toons earn a spot on the Toon Platoon, assuming they defeat enough floors in certain time spans. Toons also get a plaque of their name and face put up inside the building for rescuing it.
Merits
Defeating a Cog Building awards Merits for the corresponding Cog Department (barring Boardbots who give 40% of all other Departments' Merits). Merit gains are multiplied in Cog Buildings, with the total multiplier value equal to story count of the building (e.g. 5 story for 5x Merits). Merit gains are not affected by Cog Invasions.

- Jellybean Average - includes only Jellybeans earned from defeating Cogs, not the Jellybean reward bonus.
- Boardbot Average - the average amount of Merits gained from Boardbot Buildings. Boardbots give Sellbot, Cashbot, Lawbot, and Bossbot Merits at 40% effectiveness.
Neighborhood Differences
Cog buildings range in size, story count, and difficulty depending on which Neighborhood they are in. For example, in Mezzo Melodyland, you will only find buildings with 3 to 5 floors.
Note: Server resets (e.g. updates, maintenance breaks) can mess with the spawning conditions of Cog Buildings, allowing certain stories/tiers to spawn in Neighborhoods they otherwise shouldn't. This effect can linger for days.
- Max Bldgs - the maximum number of Cog Buildings allowed on a street at any given time.
| Neighborhood | Street | Min Story | Max Story | Max Bldgs* |

Version History

For a very, very long time, Cogs did not have pathing set up for them to be able to walk into and take over buildings in Wacky Way, Sunflower Street, and Arctic Avenue. Today, that finally changes. In addition to this, we've also made some other tweaks and fixes:
Fixed a few buildings sunk too low into the ground, causing visual issues with the Cog building elevator floors, as well as in some rare cases preventing Toons from entering some of these elevators.- Fixed clipping issues with many street buildings.

Trivia
- The name of a Cog Building is the same as the original Toon building's name followed by a business abbreviation.
- The sky can be seen outside of windows on intermediate floors and on the roof at the top of 5 and 6 stories.
- Toontown Central, Barnacle Boatyard, Daffodil Gardens, The Brrrgh, and Acorn Acres all use the cloudy sky in Cog Buildings.
- The statues on the top floor appear to resemble a Telemarketer with a buff suit and a Bottom Feeder prior to its redesign in v1.1.0.
- Most End of Floor Themes can't be heard in full while in-game. This is due to there being only 90 seconds to enter the elevator.
- This is especially notable for the Cashbot and Lawbot themes which are both 115 seconds long.
- Gag Builds cannot be adjusted during the intermission between floors, despite being able to access the Gag Track Training page of the Shtickerbook.
- After server resets, Cog Buildings may be of a higher level than their street allows. These types of buildings eventually go away due to being destroyed or expiring after awhile.
- The Major Player is credited as the composer for the Cog Building music, as seen in the descriptions of the Youtube releases and the 'Backstage Corporate Clash: Cog Building Music' blogpost.
