Message into Space is a Timed Quest about Alien Life in which the player has 192 hours to build and upgrade a total of 3 new fixed structures with assets leading to exclusive rewards. It was released as part of an update on 04.17.2015.

"The inhabitants of other worlds could teach us something new! Megapolis's scientists propose that we establish contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. To do this, we'll need to send a capsule into space with an encoded message on board." "Send a message for extraterrestrial civilizations! To do this, you need to build a Space Research Institute, Long-Distance Control System, Xenoarchaeology Academy and Data Storage Center." "The residents beg the mayor: Send a message into space" "To send a capsule with a message, we need to build a Space Research Institute, Long-Distance Control System, Xenoarchaeology Academy and Data Storage Center."
