Hi all,

It costs you 31 minutes to get the Constructor to level 4, which gives you a 1.25% reduction in time on buildings at your HQ. You will “earn” these 31 minutes back (not calculated the time you need to upgrade defence lab as well) in 41 days and 8 hours.

The calculation on “earn-back” time for a level 9 constructor (or 2 of them, each at 166 hrs) was about 200days !!. So, if my calculations are correct and you don’t want to spend money/c-cores, keep it at level 4. You will be 158 days and 16 hours ahead of everyone who had upgraded it to level 9 at a rate of 1.25%. And after these 158days and 16 hrs, they gain 1% on you per day, which takes them another 197 days to catch up and before they are 1 second ahead of you!! Together close to a year! My advice: “Keep it at level 4 in the beginning. As the game progresses, you can still choose to level it up. And next to that, how many people play in 1 sector for over a year?
