Should I Spend Donuts On the Elysium Project?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The nerds have invaded Springfield!  Ok just one nerd, and he’s not all that bad.  And only in Springfield can Professor Frink, with the help of Homer, open up a black hole that transports doppelgangers, robots and Stephen Hawking (!) to our pocket sized Springfields!  So time to crack open those hologram wallets, because there’s a store full of multiverse theme premium items to spend our donuts on!

Of course with that limited-time label it can be tempting to buy everything because it’ll be gone soon.  But don’t sweat it!  That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add the Elysium Project to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this currency earning dome to your Springfield…

Building/Decoration: Elysium Project
Donut Price: 110 Donuts
Earns: 100 , 15xp/4hrs, should switch the Act 2 and 3 currency when they hit
Size: 9×9
Conform-O-Meter: Tree-Hugging +400

Leaves stores when Event Ends

Pros:
-Earns event currency/4hrs.
-Rev. Lovejoy has a task there (Cross the Firmament, 10hrs, Earns $525,135xp) (Rocker Maggie and Disco Stu also have 10hr tasks there)
-Looks awesome when animated, each hex panel lights up various colors.  And the white lights outside also light up

Cons:
-Expensive.
-Doesn’t earn enough  to justify the price. (At 100 /4hrs..assuming you clear it 5 times/day, that’s only 500/day.  There are less than 30 days left to the event, but even if there were 30 days left..that’s 15,000.  Really a poor return for spending 110 donuts. (even if that translates 100% to bonus games, that’s only 5 attempts and at most 15 donuts))
-No questline with it.  Yes, Lovejoy will have a task there and that will popup to complete.  But there is no dialogue with it.

Final Thought:
Premium:
I don’t know why but I like this one.  Not because of the  earning potential…I like it because of it’s look and it’s animation.  I would say Premium players, if you’re looking for a fun decoration for a multiverse area of your town you may want to pick this one up.  It looks good, and Lovejoy does have a task there.

Freemium:
Stay away.  Even if you’re struggling with earning , it’s just not worth those hard earned donuts.  Save them for a character/building combo…or something else cooler down the line. (and remember Halloween will be here before you know it)

Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do.  And I can tell you I’ll probably be picking this one up, just because I like the aesthetics of it.  Of course whatever you decide just remember this is limited time and will be leaving our games when the event ends.  So if you’re thinking about grabbing it, do it very soon before it’s gone for good!  And of course, because this earns event currency…the earlier you get it the better.  This way you can get the most benefit out of it.
