    Wow, I just assumed the farm kept chugging when I closed out. Interesting. That'll be pretty key, let's hope that's at least the intent. I mean, the clock keeps counting down while away, and you see the yellow cash totals right away when you open, so it seems like it works. You have noticed less money than you expected?

    I just did another little trial for the missions. I'm doing an Anymals mission and have an Alsatian stuck in the upper left slot:

    I locked everything but the Alsatian, and left and re-entered the MC 50 times. That Alsatian is still there! I even skipped a couple of the other missions and tried leaving the game and re-opening. No luck. Seems like I have to accept the loss of that Alsatian or skip the mission. :(

    That was what I assumed too, until I noticed myself having half as much money as I should have.

    Well, definite bummer, if true. If so, hopefully Ivan will do some magic in a future update?! :D

    Unfortunately the bug with duplicate clones blocking hotel slots has not been entirely fixed: I had 3 mechanic clones in my hotel. After installing the new build, 2 of them were gone, but one is still left. I can't delete this mechanic from the hotel, as his job is already taken.

    Any idea how I can finally have a fully functioning hotel by getting rid of this annoying duplicate?

    Thanks

    Put ALL your Mechanics into the hotel (so the Arrival Center has no workers), and then shut down the app and reopen it.

    I've been wondering this for a while and I'm not sure if anyone's pointed it out, but the female hotel manager is named Olga Habbo, and I'm wondering if this might have something to do with this game over here... http://habbohotels.com

    If true its a bug.
    Regrettably, escaped checks.
    Will fix in next patch.

    Cool. Good catch Unstablefan!

    Really, it's still a nice boost until patched as the active playing time boost is great. Ivan, you and your team are doing a great job keeping this game fresh and interesting. I hope it pays off in IAPs for you.

    Definitely. And one can leave the game running whenever the phone is plugged in.

    Now I'm debating if I should buy the
    mine upgrade
    . I don't need it, and if I do I'll have spent as much on this game as on all the other games on my phone combined. On the other hand, I want to support the team and
    extra daily u ain't a bad thing
    .

    I am debating the same thing. I don't really need it or the other new IAP, but it is nice to support the devs. I think I will choose the other IAP. There just isn't enough compelling stuff to get with u once you reach a certain level.

    I can also confirm it appears to be true :(

    I tried it with low numbers over a minute (farm and business centre only active) and bumper season was ignored if the app was closed.

    Ivan, check your twitter mentions. There's a certain @kaduvrp really angry at you! =P

    And there's only one game that made me throw money on my iPhone's screen, and it was Tiny Tower. But I'll definitely spend 14 more dollars as soon as my points in FreeMyApps arrive ^^

    Prior to the update I completed a mission inadvertently reducing my giraffe and cheetah numbers to zero. My first 2 heart fills after the update each included a single golden heart. The results were a giraffe and a cheetah. The next heart fill with and without a golden heart in the string appeared random. Not a conclusive sample size I know but an indicator perhaps.

    Even though the exchange rate is even, I think I'll plan to use the lumber mill every day. Simply because u->coin is unlimited, whereas coin->u is limited by the 25 a day the lumber mill allows. So harvesting as much u as fast as possibly gives the most flexibility.

    The maximum hearts has been reduced to 1000. I lost 200-300 hearts during the update. On the plus side, I am getting a little under 3.5 days of bumper crop.

    Yeah, it seems erratic, or at least was before this last update, as I described here. Since 1.41 though, I'm noticing more animal surprises that are replacing depleted animals when using strings heavy with gold hearts, so I am betting that's been tweaked with the recent update. That's good because otherwise, there really doesn't seem to be a lot of point to the gold hearts as they actually prevent utopium surprises unless you mix in enough red hearts.

    I just purchased both IAP on my main game, but I'd like to see how they affect my C/C game. The mine upgraded on my c/c game but i wonder if I'm at too low a level to take advantage of the bonus u. It was not an option to purchase on level 4 c/c game.

    Anyway I'm happy to support the devs, I've spent more hours than I can count being engrossed with this game. When I think off all cartridges and disc based games I dropped 60 bucks on without a thought, I can say that this is money well spent. I think the IAP is a little pricey but if it can help the devs keep giving us cool content, for the next year I'm for it.

    The Rollin' Deep achievement is gained by spinning at the Casino
    100
    times.

    Other than a cute detail, is there a reason the Caterpillar turned into a Butterfly?

    Seems in utopia hq that they don't recognize the florist combination. Had a mission with the florist but the combo is not recognized.

    There Ivan - another item to fix. I think I am like 3 for 3 in finding items broken in the next update.

    (Update - wired, now after closing and reopen the app, that combo works now in hq. I know I was entering it correctly before. Was doing the best laid plants mission and entering the jobs backwards alphabetically

    But do love how all the jobs are in alphabetical format now)
