General What is the best for you ?

[Dafsade]

Hi everybody !

What is the best for you to have the most of prep :
- visit training center for green prep
- visit training center + planetarium for blue prep

For example, if, during 10 days, I visit (10 times training center) or (5 times training center + 5 times planetarium), what will I have the most : green prep or blue prep ?

What do you think about this ?

Thanks a lot !

Good question. Not sure there is a good answer.

Blue and Green launch prep share two common items: Lab Notebook and Space Suit. So a reasonable strategy might be to visit the buildings that supply these - then alternate between buildings that provide the other prep items (Treadmill and Field ration for blue and Lunar Module and Orbital Telescope - the last two of which helpfully overlap with items required for red launch).

I guess it depends on how you plan to fly space missions. I've been aiming for 100 of each to obtain a QL so the buildings I visit each day depend on whether I am doing a series or greens, blues or reds.

I now have my QL for 100 green and red - I'm now chasing 100 blue so am visiting buildings which provide the items I need.

Long answer. Hopefully there is something within it that helps.

Thanks for replying @pete blake !

And, do you feel that you gather more blue prep now or more green prep when you wanted to reach 100 green flights ?

Another good question - but I don't have any data that would give a good answer. All I can say is that by doing the above, I somehow generate enough items to enable any launch I want. Sorry I can't be more precise.

Ok, thanks ! I will try some experiments !

 

[pete blake]

Could I ask a favour? I am having a problem receiving as gifts the items I need for Control Tower L10.

I see that you can send Protractors. Would you mind trying to send one to me so that I can see if the problem is resolved?

Many thanks.

No problem ! I send you one ! (and it will be the last because my CT10 will be built in less than 12hours !)

Planetariums can also be used to build red prep collections, but I’ve found their drop rates are much lower than the training centres. Whilst the treadmill doesn’t yield a launch ready box, I seem to find that clicking planetariums leads to 4-5 completed collections each day, so 4-5 boxes, the TCs complete 10-12 collections, which means many more boxes, and therefore more PEB, MS & LFT.

I got my best blue drop rates flying to north and south observatories.

thanks a lot @Aardvark for replying !

It is really good to know ! What I can learn is you have around twice more green prep than blue prep ! So, maybe I should visit training center !

Well I have three stars on the blue and red preps, and six of the reward buildings for both, so now I’m on to the greens.

As green launches only drop one reward collection item rather than two, I’m finding it much tougher to get the reward buildings. One of the things that makes this game good, bad and addictive all at the same time is the way GI will give you something with one hand, then punch you in the face with the other.

Actually, my goal is to have a lot of coins to buy a red pad and MCC3 ! So, I don't mind Alien Legacy or Space Monument !

But I agree ! it is very easier to have space monument than alien legacy ! even if blue launches need 400 more points !

@Dafsade

Thanks for sending the gift - it arrived as F3. I have sent so many messages to the support people - they haven't given any explanation.

very annoying... and can you send them ?
How did you get your T-Square ?

 

[pete blake]

No - I cannot send any of these items. T Squares - another good question - I have no idea how I got them - but not through bilateral gift exchange.

ah ok ! Maybe Madlen or flights .

Great question...

One thing worth noting is that blue launch prep is 50% of the red launch prep and 50% of green. Doing lots of blue launches invariably takes away resources from green and red launches. As for treadmills, if you can buy stone castles, you’ll have more than you need from their drops.

Yes, so, I definitely should do green launches !

 

[Davescharf]

Anecdotally I’d say the less you visit planetariums the less chance you’ll have for blue preps. The biggest reason is that at least one of the two collections (maybe both) shared between a Red and Blue launch can only be finished by visiting planetariums. If you visit those less then over time you’ll have more green prep than blue.

What do stone castles drop then?
The ones u buy for 12 greenies?

Sneakers, Wristbands, Portable audio player, Pedometer, Isotonic drink. (running wild collection) Everything you need for a treadmill.
