Electro Spa

The Electro Spa is one of the amenities in Cosmo's Quickstop. Like all amenities, it can be installed along the outer wall of the Quickstop's large, central room. In campaign mode, the Electro Spa becomes available after the 6 dock layout is obtained.

Using the Electro Spa
The Electro Spa is a high risk amenity that can make a lot of profit. Customers who want to use the Electro Spa will begin to lose patience if they arrive at the amenity while it is turned off or broken. To turn it on, you must interact with the switches on either side of the machine. The Electro Spa will begin to charge up and once the blue bar on the gauge is full, it will zap any nearby customers who want it. As long as the machine is turned on it will continue to zap any customers who come to use it, but it will also heat up over time. If the machine overheats, it will break down, making it unusable until the temperature gauge reaches zero again. You can turn the machine on as needed and let it zap customers while you tend to other tasks, but you should always be mindful to turn it back off before it breaks down.

Some upgrades will allow zapped customers or the player to carry the Electro Spa's effect to other customers, even those who don't have the amenity's icon on their task bar. This can generate extra profit, but the effect is only transferable while the Electro Spa is turned on and is signified by large green bolts around the character. Customers who have already been zapped will be surrounded with small electrical bolts and cannot be zapped again.

Electro Spa Upgrades
Upgrades can be purchased with a Gold Star Sticker once the task has leveled up to an upgrade's corresponding number. Higher level upgrades often require a previous upgrade to be purchased as a prerequisite. Resistors Are Futile! - Scraping the ceramic cylinders off of the main circuit makes the batteries charge much faster! It sparks a lot more now... but it’s probably fine. Medicated Cooling Crème - Coating the batteries with this topical ointment you found in Cosmo’s medicine cabinet makes them overheat much more slowly. Dehumidifier - Boosting the HVAC system reduces moisture in the air, making customers more conductive! Shocked customers can zap each other while the Electro Spa is on. Fleece-Lined Underpants - Wearing this itchy garment makes you super conductive! You can zap nearby customers while the Electro Spa is on. You’re like a little lightning bug!

Electro Spa Lore
Some claim these machines are nothing more than New Age hogwash, but they are totally legit and are definitely not a pyramid scheme! These highly conductive devices can instantly zap away any number of pesky diseases from space rickets to space shingles.* Even if you’re not sick, one jolt from this machine will leave you with an overall sense of well being and one-ness with the universe that is guaranteed to last for minutes! And because this miraculous device does not require a medical license to operate, you can provide this remarkable health service in any establishment.

Because the machine draws so much power, it takes a little while to charge up its capacitor banks. The handy gauges on either side of the device help users monitor the charge and heat of the machine. If it remains in continuous operation for too long, the machine will overheat, resulting in an automatic cool-down response that will prevent further use until a safe operating temperature is restored. It is advised that users only leave the machine active when necessary.
