When to buy Lighthouse

Consider buying the Lighthouse if you're playing as the Builder or Dwarf and have a strong focus on Engineering. It's particularly effective when you have a few Structures to balance the negative scaling.

When to skip Lighthouse

Skip the Lighthouse if you're using characters that rely on high Engineering without Structures, as the penalty can outweigh the benefits.
