Changes to Minimum Spark Requirements

The minimum Spark required to start construction has been increased for previously released models from the Master Builders Contest. The affected models include those in San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Clara, Fresno, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Cleveland and Chicago. These changes are intended to bring more consistency to minimum Spark required to start construction of each model based on their size and complexity. Spark hours for some structures have also decreased.

‍

Construction of Master Builders Contest models that are in progress prior to the change in minimum Spark will continue as usual. However, if you wish to speed up production by staking additional Spark, the total Spark staked must meet the new minimum Spark requirement.

‍

If you started construction with 0.1 Spark, and there is less than the new minimum of 0.3 Spark staked on the construction, then you must stake enough Spark to meet or exceed the 0.3 Spark requirement. Once you have met or exceeded the additional 0.2 Spark requirement, you can stake any additional amounts of Spark.

‍

If you started construction with 0.1 Spark, and there is more than the new minimum of 0.3 Spark staked on the construction, then you can then stake any additional amounts of Spark and your construction will continue as usual.

‍

Now, get out there and build these new structures to add more character to your favorite city!
