Slow Field - Damn Expensive to have?

So I have around 270,000 Prestige and have crafted a Slow Field. I want it for water effect in a pool. It needs like 200 Energy and 10 Control but to make rooms for said items to give me said amounts, it keeps adding up.

Am I missing something or do I truly need a TON of prestige to just have ONE Slow Field for it's looks of water?

Regardless of the reason you're using the Slow Field, the game still sees it as a defense item. My understanding is that, if you want it to work, then you pretty much have to bite the bullet and build up your prestige.

Well it seems at the end of the day I'll need 500,000 Prestige to make ONE Slow Field work. Sigh.... I really whish they'd give us more base details... I know it's Defense but to get a water effect it'll cost 500K for one.. guess I'll never have one.

Don't worry Defragment I have also decovered the pain of needed Prestige to make my base work the way that I want it too. Though I must say that Double xp weekend did bring me that much closer to my goal.
