Sanctuary 9–20

It also lets 28 of the buildings you already have go higher. From Sanctuary 7 on, a building can only be as high as your Sanctuary, which is why the Sanctuary sets the pace for everything.
Where it fits
Sanctuary 16 is part of the early game (Sanctuary 9–20). Finding your feet: learn the world and its events, settle into an alliance, and learn to work to the clock cycles.
Next up, Sanctuary 17 asks for Research Lab 16, Barracks 15 and Lumber Depot 7, and takes 1d 19h 36m. Getting those ready while this upgrade runs keeps your builders busy.
