Ivan, I think I've found a major bug. Correct me if I'm wrong, but: It seems that the farm bonus only works when the app is open. I run a 20 million coins per hour city, and with the combination of the adjusted run times and the new double-time button at the Enterprise, it's pretty easy to get all but the most trivial buildings to run for an hour or more. Earlier I did my missions for the hour, spent all my money, got everything running, and exited the app, expecting to have 40 million coins when I checked back an hour later to do more missions. But when I did, I only had 20 million. I was baffled because I could see the cash ticking upwards as expected, so after getting everything running again and watching a bit, I noted that I had 5 million coins and I closed the app for 15 minutes. Upon reopening it, when I should have had 15 million coins, I had only 10. So I then left it open for 15 minutes and sure enough, at the end of those 15 minutes I had 20 million coins, as expected. My conclusion is that the farm bonus only functions when the app is open. Is this a bug or is this by design?
Well did get the mission to open. Think the definition of " bad luck" is not getting any astro item in the casino. Spin 10 times and got animals every time.
In case anyone is wondering, you basically have a 14% chance of getting ANY Astroglass item from the casino. You also have a 14% chance of getting some Utopium. But you still have an overwhelming 74% chance of getting ANY Animal prize. So it seems that in order to do a Premium mission for some AG stuff, you first have to play the Casino 10 times in a row without winning any AG items.
Since 1.41 update, the new achievements have not updated on Game Center, even though they have activated in the game. Is this a known bug, or just me?
Has anybody seen a reset on that? I suppose I had a bad luck streak at some time today, because the premium mission slot unlocked for me, but since then it's remained unlocked and I've been able to complete or skip missions just as before. I'm guessing that it resets at midnight; will test that theory tonight.
I have not updated my main game or my CC game yet. For those that have updated, is there any reason I should wait to update either game?
One person mentioned that his or her main game got land and u bonus and their low level game did not. The subject wasn't pursued any further, but you might want to update the lower level game first in case the bonuses are tied to your apple ID and can only be received once, or something like that. Not sure if that's the issue or not. Also, the bonuses include an immediate free hour of farm+carnival+chemical plant. You might want to update at a time when you can make use of those.
I collected my 25u for the day from trees, and then upgraded to 1.41. It reset the u counter for my trees, so I was able to collect another 25 (actually 50 with the overlogging bonus). Nice!
After the update, my decor missions slot was locked, so I restarted the game--nothing. Then I did a hard reset of my ipad and now the game crashes every single time! Anyone else having this problem, or any tips?
Thanks for the advice. If I manage to actually get into the @#$%#^#$% game I'll try that. Stupid ipad.
Gold hearts One of the items in the (wonderfully written!) release notes is "Golden Heart system improved". Any idea what changed? And before I spend time rearranging my housing to optimize gold hearts, I'm curious if it's worth it. For example, since I have the maximum upgrade from the Research Lab, the most I can get is 4 gold hearts. Does that mean 4/4 or 4/11 when determining the benefit I'll get?
Good question that I have been wondering about myself. I have not upgraded any hearts yet until I know the answer to this. Also, if golden hearts are only good animals then it is not very useful. I was hoping that a golden heart would harvest a heart bonus for the Farm/Chemical Plant.
Nope, that actually wasn't my experience in some limited trials today. I'd lock all the ones I'd like, for example all of the non-Alsatian dogs for a Good Boy Peach mission, then exit and re-enter from mission control only to find the same Alsatians stuck in the slots, even with many more other dogs to select from. After many, many tries, I ended up getting one of the alternates to replace one of the Alsatians, but tried again DOZENS of times and kept getting the same (presumably) unlocked Alsatian in one of the random dog slots despite tons of other available options. I mean, the persistence of that Alsatian defied all random odds, trust me, haha. Something is a little bugged here, as I had the same thing happen on other missions. I agree that there would be some seemingly simple alternatives that would work better, such as the idea of just temporarily locking the animals from the larger pool that you don't want to make available for a mission. Still, the new additions ROCK Ivan, well done. I especially love the altered conversion rate on the heart farming. That is a game-changer, and trumps any complaints anyone could have about not being able to earn enough cash for the Casino in the early game. I'm a very happy camper, thank you!!!
FYI - I got the land, u, and other bonuses on both of my games. Also, I had already collected all my trees AND lumber yard (so 50u), and it reset me to zero. So everyone should collect all of this stuff first, and then update.
So it doesn't pull completely randomly. (Technically I didn't say that it does! ) That makes the value of the animal locking lower. Also, I'd love it if someone could verify my issue, that the farm doesn't seem to apply when the app is closed.
