EGO Spend Planner
The EGO Spend Planner helps mayors sequence blue currency purchases across Tiers 0–9. Each pack tags must-buy (couriers, core workers), recommended (zone and maintenance enablers), or optional (cosmetics and flex). Select your current tier, compare against your save, and avoid blocking Tier 3 couriers with optional detours — the most common planner warning for new players.
How priorities work
Must-buy packs gate automation or rank progression. Recommended packs smooth mid-game friction. Optional packs are safe skips until completionist phase.
