Research Contest IV →

"A research contest is starting in Megapolis. Compete with other players for the title of tireless researcher and win rewards!" "The residents are asking the mayor to: host Research Contest III" "To win, produce research equipment, send it out on exploratory expeditions, complete scientific missions and earn points. Excellent prizes await tireless researchers."

---

Research Contest III is the third Research contest released by Social Quantum. It is a timed contest in which the player has 7 days to produce research equipment and send them on expeditions to accrue contest points toward placement on a leaderboard comprising 30 players. It was released as part of an update on Thu October 31, 2019.

In the contest there are four leagues in which the player is assigned to it, dependent on his development of expedition equipment.

Requirements: Level 42

Missions

Besides regular research missions the player can complete contest missions that give different type of rewards — coins , megabucks , building materials, ATEs or building coupons. Every mission for each expedition prototype is randomly generated and change when the previous one is completed.

Accelarators can be used to increase the speed of component production and assembly. A acceleration lasts 24 hours.

Acceleration x4	Acceleration x8	Acceleration x12	Acceleration x16	Acceleration x20
for 50,000	for 500,000	for 3	for 5	for 10

Alternatively, the Acceleration x20 can be actived for 15  instantly.

Lucky Clover

For 10  the player can buy a lucky clover that increases the probability of the contest missions (not regular missions) and sometimes the amount of contest points (up to 100%). Once the clover is purchased it lasts until the end of the contest.

Rewards

These buildings are the prizes the lucky few at the top of the leader boards will get at the end of the event.
