<Patrikc> Before you spend your Construction bonus, que 2 constructions you'll want after you use it. This way, your first 2 constructions (which you que'd) will cost you 0k/1k. Rather than using your construction bonus, then setting your construction (where your constructions will cost you 4-9k each).
You may then do the rest of the quests as you please (remember, some quests give you resources, so will be worth doing it now). Also, You're free to spend the rest of your construction and research bonuses as you please but remember you may need to build 2 research labs from it to get the 20% research bonus from them.
Struggling to work out what to do with the startup bonus? Then see this thread:
