Event Store Buildings

[AvsFan]

Trying to decide if it’s worth getting the event store building “Amalthea”. 2x2 that is +15 max population and 42 coins every 8 hrs. I don’t currently need the population boost but is it better to buy the building or let the 14,000 sonic emitters get converted to coin at the end of the event? Anyone happen to know what the conversion rate is?

Conversion rate is crap so I wouldn’t waste them. Buying something is better than nothing, in my opinion.
Repair set or flight items chests are a good back up. Personally I have bought 6 of each passenger buildings, not the coin buildings. The output is poor, but it gets to the point where every little helps.
Fuel additive and spyglass are a good buy... I buy these for the duration of the event if there is is nothing else I want in the shop.

I did buy alle the buildings, because i want "one of everything" in my city
passenger buildings are in my warehouse until i have enough land

agree with Mike: buy as much from the store as you can (spyglass, pilot manual, etc.) to use the emitters instead of conversing them to coins

Just tried buying a building, I don’t have t he space. Did you have to build it and then pay coin to put it in your warehouse?

I've spent the vast majority of my emitters on spyglass and fuel additive during the event. I have roughly 13000 now but have collected 67,000 total. When the end comes, IF I have enough, I will get amalthea ice (I don't think 2x2 buildings with a increase of 3 is worth anything). Otherwise, I will invest the leftover in the chests.

In a previous event, I did like the Oak House - nice big tree, adds 5 population and fits on 1x1 so I bought 6 of them with the leftover.

I agree with Mike, the conversion rate is crap.

After purchase from the event store the building goes straight into your warehouse, at least on my game.

You need to free up a 2x2 space (you can use a building which come often frome collections) and have enough energy to build it (use powerplant 1x1 for 6 energy)
When you purchase it, it goes to the warehouse so you can decide later if you want to build it

not sure if these building return every year when the same mission pop ups?

I missed getting enough emitters for the amalthea ice by a few hundred because two of my daughters dropped by yesterday for a surprise visit. But I did get a screen shot of the conversion rate.

13193 sonic emitters turned into 2298 coins. 1 coin for 5.74 emitters.
