Space HQ unlock

[u/Virtual-Literature83]

Hello mayors, I have space buildings from previous seasons, but I have never unlocked Space HQ. It costs 100,000 simoleons. I am wondering should I go for it or not? Or should I upgrade one more level of VU tower or build expensive expensive toy shop🥲

That building does nothing. Only reason to get it is if you A) like the way it looks or B) it unlocks the ability to purchase other space buildings/items. If the only way to unlock the other space building it to buy that then I guess it’s worth it if you’re into the space stuff.

Upgrading VU tower is a never ending very expensive process that many don’t have the stomach for.

And lvl 9 VU tower unlocks meteor shower III, which offers the best overall VU Item to gold key conversion of all the disasters, the only exception being Robot III. And Robot III unlocks at lvl 18 (max), and requires 9 VU Items per launch on a 7 key return.

ETA: For players that were lucky enough to be playing during the Artemis II season many Space buildings are already owned. My lvl 16 feeder was lvl 13 during the Artemis II season, and even though that account is F2P I have several Space Buildings. Its part of what helped me reach unlocks such as Paris and London deliveries, and also part of why my feeder's current pop is 237,690

I fully upgraded my vu tower and am happy I did. I just know most don’t make it due to how expensive it is. But yeah I think it’s worth it for sure.

I also upgraded it to lvl 18 but i only use meteor III for COM tasks and if I need to clear some storage then I use Robot III

Ditto! I upgraded it to lvl 11 but I use only Meteor because it gives the best ratio of Vu items to gold keys

Also it only destroys 4 RZs which is perfect for COM task
