Can someone please explain to me how to get hitch hiker gene? It's the last thing I need to complete the genes and I can not find it. I have two padlocked mission boxes then the 4 boxes of utopium/coin reward missions. And can not find anywhere how to pay the damn 100u (which I have) to buy the hitch hiker

I have noticed this, too. It seems unfair to pay 4M coins to "buy a chance at instantly adopting a pet" from the animal shelter, and only receive some coins in return. Seems like paying so much for this chance should always result in a pet, even if a repeated low-level one.
Is the 25 utopium limit from trees based upon a global 24 hours or based upon the last received 24 hours? ie. every daily receivable resets at 12:00am PST for me. Does that reset the 25 utopium limit? Or second scenario is I received the 1st utopium at 1am, a second utopium at 2am. Then the 1st utopium resets at 1am the next day while the 2nd utopium resets at 2am the next day.
Neither. But closer to your your second example "I received the 1st utopium at 1am, a second utopium at 2am" except that ALL utopium would reset at 1am. For example, You haven't played in over 24 hours, so you haven't received ANY utopium yet. You start playing at 10:00am and you get 1u from a tree at 10:03am. You then stop playing for a while. At around 2:30pm you collect 24 more utopium from trees. You won't be able to get any more utopium from trees until AFTER 10:03am the next day. EDIT: Although Ivan has said that the next update SHOULD set the tree timers to a midnight reset like everything else in the game.
Right now it is a hybrid. All 25 reset at the same time you harvested the first one the day before. When you harvested the second, third, or twenty-fifth doesn't matter. When 1.41 drops at any moment, this will change to always reset at midnight. Edit: ARGH, NINJA.
Thanks. So pretty much the only way you know you're in the 24 no utopium period is when the trees start being even cheaper than usual and start dropping 10gold?
Yes. I would really love a counter for this (e.g. '"Daily Limit n/25") , and I think Ivan has hinted that will be added.
For the record, while waiting for 1.41 and before my planned massive Soylent U slaughter : 78 tier 1 185 tier 2 131 tier 3 217 tier 4 228 tier 839 animals Weird thing is that the shelter says 710? Even after restarting the app after a force quit. Has anyone ever checked if the number of animals is accurate? 891u, 400m coins Spirit 332/198 Level 43 land 441/463 Clones 225/211 Population 576/722, 173 residences Cps 4720 Bring it on Apple!
Yay, Monkey Business Mission...WHAT?? Imagine my surprise. While maneuvering to get the Casino at level 8 and starting to play missions, I'd ended up with a ton of monkeys, so was anxiously awaiting a Monkey Business mission, which in the later stages of the game I'd reached,before restarting, awarded $150,000,000/mission. True, it cost 10u, but that was equal to 15 spins at the Casino, so it was worth it (since 10u in exchange equated to only about 2 or 3 spins). It took several days, but finally a Monkey Business, and I anxiously opened it to see how big the award would be at Level 8 (expecting about 10 million, or roughly the same equivalent in Casino spins) only to stare at a measly 1million? That's only two spins at the Casino, compared to 15 spins in the later game! Plus, the mission still calls for 10u. Bummer. Now there are much better missions that do not require utopium in the early game, but none provides more than $1 mill that I've seen so far. So, missions really have a lot less appeal in the lower levels.
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I was wondering wether my estimation of how many animals I had was correct, so I counted them using excel. The count came up to around 3100 while the counter in the Animal Shelter said around 2700. But I think the Animal Shelter only counts the animals saved by filling hearts and buying instant surprises. I won one animal when I tried the Casino just now, and it didn't add to the total (I tried reopening the app, but that didn't change anything at the Animal Shelter). So that could be a possible explanation.
I disagree; missions have great appear throughout the entire game. What changes is which particular missions are good at low level versus high level. In my main game (now completed), I loved Monkey Business, but ignored all of the cash missions that returned a measly 5m coins (half a spin) except for Fool's Gold since it didn't cost any animals or utopium. In my Level 1 game, every cash mission returns 1m coins (two spins), so I'm doing most of them, except for the ones that cost too much utopium. I think it's great that every mission has a useful purpose at some point in the game.
Well, sorry, have to agree to disagree. The utopium missions are similar, but there is no big payoff mission in the early game as there is in the later game with MB. Also, in the early game, the exchange rate for utopium is much lower, so the same 25u that gave about 6 spins at the casino now only return about 1 million coins, or about 2 spins. So, the way to the casino is through building and collecting coins from the city rather than through the missions, which, to me, makes the missions much less appealing. Just my view.
"Share a Formula" There is an achievement for sharing a formula. It's one of the few I haven't yet completed, but I have no idea how to do it. It's probably something very simple - can someone please help?
This is by design. Utopium never depreciates in value in Pixel People, but Coins do. Hence, Coins rewards, requirements etc scale with level. We've definitely made it so that some Coin missions make sense early game, and others only make sense at the later levels.
Drats, I was afraid of that. It crashes FB each time I try. I guess that's why I've never gotten either of the achievements.
Well it does for me but just doing the action should get the achievement, since that was how I got it!
