Upcoming Building upgrade, Grout



In what appears to be coinciding with the upcoming World Championship event (coinciding with the FIFA World Cup, which will be covered soon), BlueByte are planning on letting us upgrade some buildings from level 5 -> level 6.

Initially anyway, the buildings on offer are the stone mason, marble mason and farm.
A new resource will be included in the game, Grout, needed to perform this upgrade, that will only be sourced from events or special occasions.
For example, in the World Championship event you will be able to spend 249 Footballs to get 200 Grout.

Currently on Test:
Upgrading a stone mason requires 50 grout, and 500 granite.
Upgrading a marble mason requires 100 grout and 1000 granite.
Upgrading a farm requires 300 grout and 1000 granite.
Certainly a lot of grout per farm for the cost.

Initially it seemed pretty cool, but, since there doesn't seem to be a corresponding upgrade for silos, this will mess with the maths for layouts. We can still probably come up with some, maybe something that would fit with improved silos in sector 1 similar to the one I made recently.

I can certainly see some marble masons being worth upgrading though. 100 grout isn't too extreme, and you can get reasonable ongoing value out of them.
I can't imagine anyone high enough level to be considering where to spend their grout using stone enough to find much value in spending any there (along with the 500 granite) initially, although if you're rich enough, you may just do it because you can, and at that point may as well.

Happy Settling.
