General Excavation flights with WORST drop-rate

[Barkmi4 (Mike)]

Thanks. Now I need to find a way to get like 10000 passengers on a short amount of time to be able to fly the 3 remaining destinations... Have done the 2 cheapest on passengers at the moment.

2 words, Visa Centre.
It'll cost you 20 gold tokens, and a number of Silver (I can't remember how many). With 1 of these, you should be able to get yourself the passengers you need. Do a search for them and drop a message if you can't work it out.

You buy 2 SG every day?
I see now why you do not have many fuel in storage.
Can't do all things at the same time.

My problem is being able to generate enough passengers in a short amount of time.
I do not burn that many fuel with events. I do not event participate in every event. I pick the ones that looks to have a nice reward building.

well, at least we share something in common. I play this game to collect nice-looking buildings (don't care much about yields). And I used to be like you, was not very interested in events until recently when I started flying to adventure destinations. Only with event you can get SG for free

But my fuel burning is nothing. @VdW9 burned 10,000 fuels for the last Halloween event haha

20 gold and 400 silver. Need 5 more gold to buy it.
I know it collects your passengers. But is there more info about this somewhere?
Like the range it uses (without the extra building that enlarges the range).
And how many contract(s) cost in this building?
If I understood correctly from other threads, it collect more than what your pax limit is?

I plan my map run when I do event. Than I can take the SG from it.
Do not do most of events also, because my planes need to complete 2 alliance tasks every week to make the alliance grow.
And I try to fly to destinations that drop items for space launches.
Cannot combine those 2 with flying for every event. So I select the events that gives a reward I like. Otherwise I skip it.

There are 2 or 3 good threads on these - 2/3 pages each. Well worth a read.
Think of it as an extra storage box for passengers - separate to your terminal. With 1 centre, you only unlock the first contract. 10 silver tokens for 1 hour of use. collection radius is 1 x 1. Visa Centres can be moved when a contract is running. Buildings can be moved when the Visa Centre contract is running. Search Bonus Square / Mystery Square / Magic Square. There aren't many posts about Visa Centres on the forum - read everything you can about them! Game changer.

i'm not in any Alliance at the moment. Gotta wait until I collected all buildings from adventure flights. Long way to go.

Was looking for a guide from captain WH r. but didn't find any.
Will do a lookup on those. Thanks.

Done some reading.
Correct me if what I say here is wrong:
* You have to buy a visa center and it needs a road access (so you lose 1 square).
* You activate a 1-hour contract, which will cost you 10 silver tokens.
* You move a building that produces pax next to the Visa Center. It will add the amount of pax the building would produce in 1 hour to your total.
* You put the building back where it was, and repeat it for all other buildings.
* As a result, your pax will be raised by the total of pax collected by the Visa Center. So the total all of your buildings would have produced in 1 hour.

If this is all correct, do the buildings still produce pax after the Visa Center 'collected' it?
Trying to understand exactly how it works.
But first impression is that this is indeed a nice building to have.

Once collected by the Visa Centre the normal building refresh time applies. You can run the contract days or weeks before you move these from the VC to your terminal - this way you can have 2 waves of passengers for your map flights. Bonus square is a must anyway - you can double your numbers easily with just this. Add a VC to the mix, and you can have 6 times your instant city output available for a map run without using any bonuses (e.g. family ticket/alarm clock) for just 20 silver tokens.

 

[Barkmi4 (Mike)]

Assuming your longest building refresh is 2 days, assuming your bonus square is +100%;
Run a VC contract when all buildings are refreshed, moving all through your bonus square.
Make your terminal full - 1 passenger. Transfer pass to terminal so it is well beyond full.
2 days later, run another contract (use bonus square)- keep pass in VC.
2 days later, run maps, use bonus square before collecting each building - 3 generations of a full city is available for one map run using 20 tokens.
6 generations (3 + 100%) = 20 tokens. Even with a small city, this should be able to yield you 60,000 + It just takes time & planning

What you say still looks a bit like chinese to me.
Guess I will have to build the visa center, and play a bit with it to understand exactly what you just said. 10 silver tokens for 1 contract is not that much. So I can try and see how it works out for me.
But the 60k collected passangers looks great. That would be what I need for my map runs.
Than I will have to say that I do not have enough fuel instead of pax.
