Yep, this will also get you a golden heart. At least it worked for a combination of a new hidden job and an existing job for me (result of the two also hidden). Bit of a late reply, sorry for that. Btw, there seems to be something odd about the selection of animals for missions. For the 'Good boy peach' mission there's an animal selected that I have only 2 of (new tier 5) instead of one of the 35 of another (tier 1) animal that also qualifies. Exiting the building and reselecting the mission a few times solves this (usually). I guess this would be fixed with being able to lock certain animals in patch 1.41? Hope so!
I've certainly enjoyed the new content, even if it did come after the traditional Easter for most of us. Very nice work Ivan and crew! (Ivan, how many people are working on this with you? Are you the main dude?) Haven't read back through comments during the last week for fear of spoiling some secret formulas that I have left to decipher. I'm down to figuring out the last 5. Sadly, I still have a gambling problem. I kicked it for a while to buy the hitch hiker gene, but then went right back to cashing in my utopium for coins whenever I accumulated 25u. I don't even upgrade buildings anymore, I'm so irresponsible! Astroglass Features The lure of the astroglass features is too strong! OK, I'm over-run with Manors of Speaking and Plazas, but love getting the astroglass trees, the Precarious Heights residences, and, especially, the Glass House! Finally got one of those, very nice! I also finally scored an Astroglass Plaza, after getting dozens of bronze, silver and gold plazas. Manors Regarding the Manors of Speaking. Is there any chance we might be able to cash some number of them in toward a Precarious Heights, or Glass House at some point in the future at some kind of astroglass pawn shop, or something? I'm just not crazy about the look of the MOS building. I assume that's a personal aesthetic thing, so happy that some probably love them. Another nice thing, if we can't cash them in, would be the ability to color the roof, like most of the other residences. I color code my houses to ID the ones that give me gold hearts. Gold Hearts On the issue of gold hearts, Ivan, has it been answered whether there will be a modification in the near future that will allow more control over where people are housed when they are moved out of the hotel? It'd be easier to create gold heart pairs if you could specifically select specific houses and slots for the folks in the hotels. I assume that it now happens more randomly, but need to experiment, I guess. Trying to figure out whether to start playing with that now, or wait for 1.41, if that adds more control. Spoiler Chemical Plant This building has a cool feature, and I like how it gives the heart pumping more purpose, well done! My question is, whether there is or will be a way to stop the function and save time left on the clock, once you've harvested our daily limit? For example, I started it today and ended up having an hour of double time to collect my 25u from the trees. It only took me about 15' to get my 25u (well, I collected 24u, actually, as the doubled harvest wouldn't allow the collection of the last 1u) and so the remainder of the bonus just kind of leaked away without benefit, unless you count the almost meaningless doubling of coin value from the trees. I looked around for a way to freeze the time, but couldn't find one. Not a big deal, just curious. Anyway, nice work! You're team remains very innovative.
Wow. All I can say is, I started playing this game the day it came out, following the forum, etc. Then I kinda got distracted by other things and was only casually playing this game - but now whenever I check this thread, I completely have no idea what anyone is even talking about 200 pages later - it's like I have a totally different version of this game or something, nothing sounds even remotely familiar, lol. Hey, are there supposed to be Easter eggs somewhere? Not in my version! lol
making gold heart houses OK, so I got bored while trying to figure out my last 5 profession recipes and started dinking around with creating gold heart houses using the hotel. I'm also disposing of those inefficient early houses (Rocky Mansions and Atomic Cottages) that take up land space by sending people from those into a bank of astroglass houses that have been sitting empty since I've earned them. Is anyone else doing this? Again, I'm kind of wary about reading through recent posts for fear of accidentally stumbling on combinations for my last 5 secret professions that aren't covered by spoiler boxes. Anyway, I'm basically searching old houses for people hat have professions that can combine into pairs to produce other jobs, the main requirement in spawning gold hearts. When I find them, I send them on vacation, then send them back to work in the correct order, so they will end up in a new house, paired in the right sequence, to create a pair/house that will generate gold when it spawns a heart. The trick is that the old house(s) I draw these people from must be totally vacated, and deleted, far as I can tell, or the people will be returned back to these houses rather than to new ones when sent back to work. The old houses must take priority as the first available, I guess. This has proven fairly easy. I spent only about 10' to generate 3 newly occupied Manors of Speaking that all have correctly ordered pairs of people that will yield gold hearts when those houses spawn hearts. Also, I found that I am recouping a lot of my utopium costs. To make the 3 working pairs, I had to totally evacuate 5 old Rocky Mansions and delete them. That costs me 10u. But when I sent the 6 people back to work as gold heart-generating pairs, I received 4u back in rebates. Anyway, a little tedious, but it may pay off as I am a firm believer that the gold hearts help generate better surprises. For example, I received all 4 of the new animals from this update on series that contained gold hearts, and at the time, I only had 4 houses that were capable of spawning gold hearts, so getting one was a rare event for me.
They are in there if you updated during the last week or so. Look in the Utopia Headquarters, if you have one, for the easter egg mission. The names of the eggs helps guide you.
More monkeys, please!!! Oh, Ivan, another suggestion. For the next round of new animals...a new kind of monkey, please!! A gibbon, howler, bonobo, lemur, baboon...doesn't matter to me. Just help me keep my monkey business prospering!
I think that there should be a way to buy Utopium using money... But maybe that would screw up the whole game and I'm just being a self-centered baby =P
Technically you can, by using the Spoiler Lumber Mill event to Double your daily tree utopium limit. It costs half the amount of coins that you would receive from exchanging 25u for coins. So for example, if at your current level you would receive 300,000,000 coins for 100u, then the Lumber Mill would cost you 150,000,000 coins. The Lumber Mill event is active for 24 hours after you activate it, if you span this event over 2 days of harvesting utopium from trees, then you are technically paying 150,000,000 for 50u. You are basically getting the same exchange rate for utopium to coins, but for coins to utopium, granted it takes a lot more work to do.
Wow, excellent! The problem is that I still don't have the Spoiler Lumber Mill . How can I unlock it?
And another thing that I forgot to ask you: which one can be more productive, trying to get my whale and rabbit via Casino or Animal Shelter? I'm still not sure of the efficiency of both =/ Edit: FREAKS YEAH, GOT THE DAMNED WHALE! And by the way, Ivan, you freaking GENIUS! Now I love camels again! =D
I am thoroughly enjoying the game and have 2 suggestions : 1. For new animals, make DINOSAURS! If giant octopuses and trouts can hop around in the forest in space, why can't dinosaurs re-exist again? 2. Please make unicorns and tigers useful. I know unicorns are used to unlock one of the new genes. But that's about all unicorns are useful for. My numbers for the other animals are depleting nicely, except for my unicorns (42) and tigers (32). Oh! And lions (33).
Does this game support iCloud saves? I started playing on my iPhone and then decided to download the game on my iPad. My game isnt on my iPad though. I did a google search and what I've read so far is that the game does support iCloud saves. Soooo.... What am I doing wrong? Or am I just crazy and there is no iCloud support?
You can use your unicorns for the Mythical Dilemma mission, which returns 20m coins (two casino spins).
When starting a new game, what unlocks the Bureaucrat gene? When I upgraded my in-progress game at version 1.3, it immediately appeared. The description in the Gene Pool says "SHIPS FREE WITH UTOPIA VERSION 1.3". But now I'm starting over again (with 1.4) and it's not available from the start. Is it now one of the randomly gifted ones like the Dreamer, Salesman and Explorer genes?
Off topic question but I have the lvl 9 city and was wondering if I need to keep all these extra plazas I have for any reason, have 80/28 spirit and would rather keep my 4 astroglass and 2 gold plaza than have 40 bronze to the side, is it safe to delete them or should I keep them for any unknown reason thanks in advance
