OMEGA TIP
Hi guys and gals.
I am looking at this forum and another forum and i can clearly tell there is an issue with the OMEGA update.
I'll start by saying i do like. I'm a fan of new buildings, i t...

Woah that is cruel. I too noticed it just now, the 9 capacity drone base costs 16200 for me too. Goodbye Omegaville...
By the way, how much will the bank expand from 16000 to? 19000? Asking because the largest drone base costs 21000, seems saving for that one should be the right choice now..
Bank upgrades 16k, 19k, 21k, 25k
Basic control net starts at 16k, then jumps to 42k after 1 purchase.
Deluxe control net starts at 37k
Basic drone is 16.2k, then 28.350k
Deluxe drone is 23k
Because of the steep price increases, it is essential to upgrade bank capacity as fast as possible, but since each upgrade requires more parts and there's no easy way to sell off the parts you don't need, you'll need to upgrade storage nearly as often.
If you don't like an offer to buy omega items, you can decline it, then decline all other offers to eventually get another omega offer.

EQFetish, A couple questions for you:
At any point does increasing your bank or storage capacity, or a Deluxe upgrade reduce the wait times of the Research Center or Omega Labs? What about increasing Lab processing? (I'm guessing no, but thought I'd ask.)
And does purchasing the deluxe ControlNet make it easier to collect the Neo Simcash from atop the buildings? Someone in another thread said it appeared that the linking of coins seeme dto coincide with the location of you ControlNet Towers.
Thanks.
- I have not purchased lab upgrades. Doesn't seam to be much point considering at lvl 34 my income rate including item sales would only cover 2 or 3 more researches per day.
Nothing else so far has reduced lab times.
It does seam like I am getting more medium and large omega canisters now. I'm guessing this is tied to Neosim rent and I'm up to 3k per day.
I'm still doing CoM so I only add plots when doing an assignment, and generally only build up to clear some storage.
Coin collection is stupid. I suspect the plots collected are tied to the controlnet covering the second plot tapped, however the number collected is less than the controlnet coverage, so there are leftovers. Worse is that the leftovers are often hidden by an upgrade icon. They should put a collect rent button in the bank window, and it should collect every plot.
A maxed omega building has a population about 5% greater than an epic. Neosims can buy tokens above the 5 each cap. Large amounts of Neosims are required for the final road upgrade (starting at lvl 37) and the best service buildings.
Not sure if happiness suffers if you don't upgrade roads to maglev. If not and you don't care about speed tokens... Omega may not be worth the hassle. The extra space needed for controlnets and drone bases is probably a wash and the effort to fill more than 1/4 the map is huge. to be honest i don't think doing the OMEGA is worth it.
I will definitely be continuing to finish the area that i've dedicated to it, which will hopefully give me about 4k neosims a day but just the area, patience, time and LUCK to complete them is massive.
Keep it simple i say.
I agree it's not worth it. But, if you've put the effort in to build up Omega Buildings and you can net 3-4k neosims a day, and you forget about the rest of the Omega update. Those neosims can essentially purchase daily tokens, upgrade parts etc. some of which are not available unless you scavenge the Trader HQ for hours. So that is really the bonus ... is that worth it? still, probably not.
