    Anyone else noticing an issue with the Gene-ius and Just Playin' Cupid achievements? I've definitely had quite a few quick surprises (assuming that those are the packs you get when the heart counter fills), and I have neither of those achievements. Maybe I haven't gotten the 100 needed for Cupid, but you're supposed to get Gene-ius after your FIRST surprise. So I think that's a bug.

    Also, to all those looking to move residents to better buildings? You can't, at least not right now. You can use the Building Firm to delete EMPTY buildings, but you have no way of emptying out old residences at this point. Sucks, but it is what it is.

    So, by my opinion, best building is the university, 20cps/5hours.
    Anyone against?

    5 hours? My University only works for 2 hours and that's with the Double Time upgrade. Did you upgrade the building using utopium?

    Hey guys, developer of Pixel People here. You can direct any questions to me or LambdaMu for answers on the game!

    You'll need to perform an "accelerated" research for or "quick surprises" for those two achievements. Won't say anymore (our general policy is to let players fiddle around with the game on their own).

    Good luck!

    AGHHHH noo not this.

    This type of check is bad for people in some countries, like the UK which legitimately changes it's clocks twice a year re daylight savings. Has to be changed lol :confused:

    I believe we've made sure that it will not penalize anyone unintentionally. It takes into account timezones and daylight savings.

    Oh that's good. Thank you for the consideration, it's good to know that as if it was the case it would personally affect me for where I live.

    Much respect for your development now :)

    Thanks for the reply too!

    You can purchase the Double Time IAP from the
    Enterprise building which is obtained when you make an Industrialist by combining Salesman + Salesman.

    Double Time costs $0.99 real money, but it gives you a permanent upgrade to all buildings that doubles their work time. Considering the fact that it costs 3u per upgrade per building, that $0.99 is a great deal.

    You can't, yet at least.

    when you get the salesman, it just happens. There's no action you need to do first, nothing like that. It just "happens". When it does and his building is complete, you can then buy the doubler. Don't upgrade buildings any more, just wait and play as much as you can.

    So "quick surprises" aren't the same thing as the animals etc. that you get from the heart meter? Because I did all the upgrades to that meter (and got the achievements for it).

    Yes. And cost per upgrade is 3u. And time inc by 1time unit at lv1. Max is lv5. So from lv1 to lv5, u can multiple the working time by 5 times

    Quick surprises let you get the same prizes but instantly, without having to collect hearts, at least as I understand it. I haven't tried as it costs so much money. It goes up whenever you level up, it seems, and it's currently at 940,000 coins for me. Far too steep considering common prizes are 5,000 or 50,000 coins.

    Is that from a building? And god, I hope it's not based on level, because I'm at 140 land without having done it once. Getting 100 of them at that price seems frankly ridiculous.

    Are the trees worth getting? trying to find the optimal investment for my utopium right now. Used 6 already on the 3u residential buildings and have 33 left.
    The reason why I ask is because the trees also give back utopium

    Just started playing this morning and love it. Reading all these ideas and suggestions in this thread makes me want to wipe it out and start all over, being more organized. Call it OCD. How do we reset the game? Can't find anything in Town Hall or any menu about it. Thanks in advance.
