Royal Society Government Plaza Building: How does it work?

[BammBamm]

Even though I've logged over four thousand hours of Civ6 gameplay, I am completely unfamiliar with the Royal Society building mechanics. I selected it as an option for the very first time in my previous Deity win but, for the life of me, could NOT understand its purpose. I've perused a few threads here this morning, and I'm coming to the realization that it's solely used to buff space projects.

Will someone please enlighten me? Thanks in advance!

That's usually what it is used for.
Once you build a builder unit you move them to the spaceport when working on space race projects and use all of their charges on the district to add production toward the project.
You can use them for other city projects too, but helping toward the science victory is there main goal.

Thanks man!

It can be used to speed up things like carbon capture etc, but unless you're going for a science victory it's not really worth it, imo. The NHM can be good for culture (it holds a few great work slots) but unless I'm going for a SV or really gunning for CV, I'd pretty much always go for War Department; the benefit is far more versatile than the others.

Yeah, it's essentially only there to help you shave a few turns off those tedious Alpha Centauri booster projects. A really lacklustre part of the game, to be honest.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the 4-1-1!

I kind of wish that the Spacevictory was like the one in Civ 4, where you choose how many parts to build, but depending on how much you invest in it, it gets you there faster/slower.
