Future bucks

[flmopa]

Quest says to use future bucks to buy something.  Does not seem to be any way to spend them

you are not "wasting" robot parts when you crafting multiples of a demo.

every demo essembled helps to upgrade the printer.

on most printer levels you actually need to craft items you already have one of in order to get to the next 3D level

Future Bucks are pretty useless, since it only buys what you already have but if youre new and need income from buildings it is great as you have lots of Future Bucks and can get a lot of buildings that generate income.

every item has demos you need to craft first, once you've crafted the maximum demos, you can purchase more using future bucks.

You make demos with Robot Parts (RP).

How many demos you need to make depends on what item it is.

Spending Robot Parts will help you upgrade the 3D Printer.
Spending Future Bucks will not help with the 3D Printer progress.

I am also puzzled by these so-called future bucks. What's the point of having them if I cannot use them to purchase decorations or to upgrade the printer? As I understand it we have to waste the very useful robot parts to be able to get those useless things? Why would I want to get more of them? Or, if I understood it wrong and buying all the demos of an item unlocks that item for purchase with future bucks, guess what. I'd rather upgrade the 3D printer than waste robot parts in most demos? Would it be so hard to let us use future bucks to directly purchase items?

I have crafted all the items with the last one being future bucks but only choice to craft something is with robot parts still.
