"A gigantic asteroid is headed for our planet! We need to find a way to save mankind from annihilation!" "Scientists have discovered an enormous stellar object approaching our planet. Preliminary analysis of its trajectory indicates a high probability of impact!" "We need to precisely calculate the trajectory of the asteroid's path. If the risk of an impact is confirmed, we'll need to find a way to divert the asteroid from its dangerous course!" Danger from Space is a timed Quest in which the player has 192 hours to build and upgrade a total of 2 areas and 3 buildings with assets leading up to space-related rewards. It was released as part of 07.19.2013[1] update and was preceded by the related Fall of a Meteorite quest and followed by the Operation Cosmic Shield quest. |
Requirements
- None
TIP Depending on how you play the game, this quest may require around 430 total and 404,050 to complete fully. |
Stage 1 - Distant Asteroid[]
The danger is all too real! We need to calculate the trajectory of the asteroid accurately. This will require assembling the best scientists in the world and providing them with the very latest equipment!
Tasks:
- We need to immediately start building a space research center in order to precisely model the asteroid's trajectory. And warn our friends about the danger, of course!
Start building a Space Research Center | ||
Visit 5 friends and warn them about the asteroid |
Rewards:
- Forewarned is forearmed! Your neighbors know about the danger and are ready to help when the time is right. Would you like to warn anyone else about the approaching asteroid?
Stage 2 - Space Research Center[]
Space research isn't cheap! The most important thing is to make sure we don't run out of money for the research at the worst possible moment.
Tasks:
- It's time to finish building the space research center, solve any issues relating to financing the research, and get to work.

Collect 1,000 in taxes, or complete for 1 |
Rewards:
- Great job! The Space Research Center is ready to take on scientists so that they can provide you with precise data about the asteroid. Would you like to share the news with your friends?
Stage 3 - The World's Finest Minds[]
It's time to get all the world's finest minds under one roof and have them give us precise data about whether we can expect the asteroid to crash into us or not.
Tasks:
- Invite outstanding scientists to work at the space research center and study the trajectory of the asteroid.
Hire three employees to work at the space research center (3 friends or 3 Megabucks) | ||
Start the Studying the Asteroid's Trajectory contract | ||
Buy a Radio Telescope Foundation |
Rewards:
- All right! The data we've collected will lay the foundation for your work. Now we need to supplement it with readings from the radio telescope. Would you like to tell your friends about it?
Stage 4 - Insufficient Data[]
We need to calculate the mass of the asteroid precisely in order to understand how its trajectory is affected by the gravitational pull of other stellar objects.
Tasks:
- We need to continue studying the asteroid and expand our scientists' array of instruments. At the very least, we need a radio telescope.
Build a Space Telescope Communications Center | ||
Complete the Studying the Asteroid's Mass contract | ||
Build a Radio Telescope Frame |
Rewards:
- Congratulations, you did it! The data we've gathered will provide us with an exact picture of the path and speed of the asteroid. Would you like to tell your friends about it?
Stage 5 - Analyzing the Information[]
I think we have enough data on the asteroid to begin our analysis. It's time to determine exactly how real the threat of an asteroid impact in Megapolis is!
Tasks:
- An Astrophysics Analysis Center would allow us to compare the data we've acquired about the approaching asteroid. It's time to build one!
Build an Astrophysics Analysis Center | ||
Complete the Compare Data Analysis contract | ||
Build an Aeronautics Laboratory:Requires: |
Rewards:
- Congratulations, you did it! The data we've gathered will provide us with an exact picture of the path and speed of the asteroid. Would you like to tell your friends about it?
Gives: 1,600 and 21,000 cap increase |
Stage 6 - Big Gun[]
If a collision with the asteroid is inevitable, that means we'll have to destroy it before it's too late! To take down a big asteroid, you'll need a big gun. A really big gun!
Tasks:
- We can try to destroy the asteroid with a giant laser. We need to build one as quickly as possible!
Buy a Laser Foundation | ||
Build a Laser Frame |
Rewards:
- Great job! The construction of the laser is going full blast - just make sure you don't forget about the targeting system! Would you like to share the news with friends?
Stage 7 - Targeting System[]
Firing the Laser from this distance will require very precise targeting—a few inches in our aim from Earth will equal hundreds of miles in space!
Tasks:
- A Radio Telescope would make it a lot easier to target the laser! You should finish construction and visit your friends to make sure they're all right!
Build a Radio Telescope | ||
Visit 5 friends |
Rewards:
- Amazing! Your idea has been completely confirmed: by using the radio telescope, you'll be able to take a single accurate shot at the asteroid. Would you like to tell your friends about it?
Stage 8 - Reflector Antenna[]
People all over the world are worried—firing from this distance is no joke! We need to make sure there isn't the slightest chance of missing!
Tasks:
- A parabolic reflector will make our targeting system more precise, which means that our chance of hitting the asteroid will be greatly improved.
Build a Parabolic Reflector | ||
Collect 3,000 in taxes, or complete for 2 |
Rewards:
- Good job! Now that the risk of a miss has been completely eliminated, you can finish building the laser and fire it! Would you like to tell your friends about it?
Stage 9 - Bullseye![]
We can't wait any longer! The entire world is holding its breath, waiting for you to fire the one perfect shot that will destroy the asteroid and save the planet!
Tasks:
- The asteroid is getting closer to the earth by the minute. It's time to finish building the laser and fire it!
Finish building the Laser | ||
Complete the Firing at the Asteroid contract |
Rewards:
- The laser hit the asteroid dead on. However, it didn't destroy it, but only knocked a piece of it off. Now it's surrounded by a cloud of shrapnel, and we need a new way to destroy the asteroid. Would you like to consult your friends?
Reward - Danger from Space[]
