Space Academy DLC

Space Academy is the first DLC expansion for Two Point Campus.

Released on 6th December 2022, Space Academy adds 3 new campus locations, 6 new courses with fully animated classrooms, 6 new student archetypes, 3 new events including Sci-Fi Conventions, Space Battles and an out-of-this-world gig act. In addition to this is the new Time Tourism Club and lots of new items, all centring around the space theme!

Description
The Two Point space program is far, far, away from its golden years when rockets lit up the news and astronauts were semi-famous (like B-list actors you don't even recognise).

The County needs your help on the front lines! Not only in promoting the space industry but also in galactic defence, inter-dimensional diplomacy, and preparing for foreign life. The aliens are coming; look busy! Dust off your moon boots and set phasers to fun, it's time to get your students to reach for the stars... and their wallets.

Unlock
As soon as the player returns to the world map after achieving Star Level in Noblestead, the first Campus for this DLC, Universe City, will be unlocked. All three of the Campuses for this DLC may be found in the South-West of Two Point County, close to Urban Bungle. They can also be accessed from the level select bar on the County Map screen.

Plot Challenge Mode
Returning from Two Point Hospital is Plot Challenge Mode, used in all three Campuses in Space Academy. Selecting a plot will, in some cases, reveal unlock conditions instead of a monetary cost, such as "Train n Teachers" or "Upgrade a Course to Level n". Please see the Plot Information section on the page for each Campus to see which plots feature which objectives.

Where there is an option to buy the plot with buildings, a slightly more difficult objective will be available. Whethere there is one option or two, pressing the button next to the chosen challenge will add it to the Objectives Panel, and the plot will unlock automatically upon completion of the objective.

There is no limit to how many of these objectives can be selected and worked on at once; it is possible to add them all at the outset.

Space Rock Mining
The South-West corner of Two Point County is subject to frequent falling space rocks, in both Fragrant and Infested varieties. Both may be mined by Janitors, can perform more quickly by training with the Space Mining Qualification.

Space Rocks will fall at regular intervals during the academic year, although not during Summer Break. If left untouched for a certain amount of time, a Space Rock will spontaneously combust, and any bounty it may have contained will be lost. They will not fall indoors, only in outdoor areas that are not too congested with Items.

Fragrant Space Rocks
''Contains space cheese that will be sold when mined. Some may even contain rare Cosmic Artefacts or inspire new lines of Research.''

Appearing in both Universe City and Cheesy Heap: Delta-Rye, Fragrant Space Rocks provide benefits to the player:

Infested Space Rocks
Gives a medical issue to nearby students.

Appearing in both Cape Shrapnull and Cheesy Heap: Delta-Rye, Infested Space Rocks will be a problem for any nearby Students:

Cosmic Artefacts
A cosmic artefact found in a meteor.

Cosmic Artefacts are found in large brown Space Rocks. They will remain in place after mining, and can be moved freely for placement anywhere outdoors, or in the Campus Building. Like their counterparts on the Archaeology Course, Cosmic Artefacts increase Attractiveness in a radius, and can be sold for Money. They do not increase in value over time, however, and will always net 15,000 apiece.

Universe City
''Revitalise the County's interest in outer space, one small step at a time. ''

Back in the day, Universe City was a bustling facility with non-stop foot traffic, now it's dusty, forgotten and unprofitable. Re-launch the County's interest in outer space and land safely in the dawn of the second space age.

Cape Shrapnull
Take over Two Point's recently founded Space Academy and prepare for contact with aliens.

The County opened the doors to its fledgling Space Academy, but it launched with a fizzle and no satisfying bang. They've struggled for word-of-mouth from this off-shore locale, and need to generate some buzz about outer space. Prime the space industry and prepare the County for foreign life.

Cheesy Heap: Delta-Rye
Attract students from across the galaxy to learn on the surface of a massive space rock.

We discovered a cluster of cheesy space rocks caught in the County's orbit, they're a little bigger than the ones we usually sell back home. One of them is so large even, it got us thinking, is it big enough to sustain student life? Time to source alien students from all across the galaxy and teach them everything we know about us, all on the surface of a massive space rock!

Trivia

 * This DLC features multiple references to previous games:
 * Astronauts can suffer the Medical Issue Floaty Head, which calls back to Theme Hospital's famous 'Bloaty Head' illness. This was also previously reference in the Two Point Hospital DLC Bigfoot, which featured the illness 'Bloaty Dread'.
 * Another Medical Issue, Meteormites, previously featured in the Close Encounters DLC for Two Point Hospital. All of the species in the Alien Archetype are also from that DLC.
 * Of those Aliens, one type featured in Close Encounters as infiltrators, in the wake of the Goldpan Incident, and the other three would attend Chasm 24 to receive treatment for Lack of Humanity, a concept which has been expanded into the Humanities Course here.

Unused Content
At one point in development, small variants of the Space Rocks were also included. Only two sizes appear in the final release.
