    Wow how did I miss that... Thanks again for your work TRB4. :)

    I think I saw a figure of 50%ish (found over on mojo-farm) should be able to make gold heart pairs, so it looks like you are pretty close to having perfect matches. Thanks for the offer of posting the pairs, but I should be able to get a decent amount with TRB4's spreadsheet. :)

    I have a plan to make an even better list that actually specifies which clone to use (for example Artist - Gallery) That would be optimized for the absolute maximum amount of combos based on a town with no duplicate buildings or extra clones. But I do not have time to make it today, to much "real" work :(

    But perhaps I can work on it some time this weekend.

    Fools Gold Mission.

    One of the Fools Gold requirements just asked for the formula for the Easter Bunny!

    Yeah, unfortunately the requirements for the FOOL's GOLD mission are all J-0, or rather ANY job. This means that the Mayor, the Mechanic, or ANY Special Gene may be chosen, all of which have no formula to create.

    Good stuff!! I have also been working on a spreadsheet like this, and will post my results when I'm done.

    But so far, I have a question. You show Actor + Carpenter as a valid combination (on row 5), but I think that's the other way around (Carpenter + Actor), since the left/right order is significant.

    I have not gone deeper than that into your list to see if there are other issues.

    I've seen the Easter Bunny show up more than once in the Fool's Gold list, but never any of the other special genes or the Mayor or Mechanic. (Perhaps just randomness...?)

    You are correct. I used IGN's Professions formulas while creating the list, and they have the Ventriloquist formula listed in reverse. I have already corrected the Spreadsheet. I hope there are not any other mistakes.

    Caught one more, they also reversed the formula for the Sports Fan. Once again I have already corrected the Spreadsheet.

    Where did you get the 3,000 number?

    Converting u to coins
    300,000,000 = 100u which means 3,000,000 = 1u

    Or converting coins to u through Lumber Mill
    25u = 150,000,000 which means 1u = 6,000,000

    One other thing to beware of is that IGN also misses some Workplaces for certain professions. So there may be 3 of a certain profession needed in your game, but IGN shows you only need 2.

    Well I have double checked all the formulas, and the Spreadsheet has no more mistakes.

    Oops, you're right, I meant 3,000,000 coins. For some reason I was thinking that the Lumber Mill event cost 75,000 instead of 75,000,000. Sorry, I have edited the original post with the correct value.

    But my point about it being profitable still stands.

    And thank you, I hadn't realized that the cost of the Lumber Mill was halved in the last update.

    So if you could extend all timers (which we know you can't), then:

    3,000,000 / 2,360 = 1,271 seconds = 21.2 minutes

    So if your timers are extended by an average of 21.2 minutes then it is profitable to spend the 1u.

    If you are only getting some of your timers extended, then the break even point would go up.

    Since you can't swap an unlimited amount of coins into u, each person should decide what they value more depending on where they are in the game.

    I guess this is another (small) benefit of a CC game, as the exchange rate of u to coin is horrendous.

    5,000,000 = 100u which means 50,000 = 1u

    Spending 1u on Workaholic is of obvious clear benefit here.

    Lumber Mill is 25u = 900,000 which means 1u = 36,000.

    One other thing to consider, a fully staffed Stadium with a Bank bonus is profitable ALL BY ITSELF with the use of Workaholic, so whenever the Stadium isn't running you should ALWAYS use the Workaholic feature.

    Lumber Mill in a level 9 town is only 900,000? It seems like it should be 1,250,000 in order to keep the coin to utopium ratio even.

    This means that you could actually make a profit by using the Lumber Mill for 4 days and then turning that 100u into coins.

    For example:

    Day 1

    Start with 0u and 3,600,000 coins.
    Spend 900,000 coins on "OVER LOGGING!"
    Collect 50u

    Day 2

    Start with 50u and 2,700,000 coins.
    Spend 900,000 coins on "OVER LOGGING!"
    Collect 50u

    Day 3

    Start with 100u and 1,800,000 coins.
    Spend 900,000 coins on "OVER LOGGING!"
    Collect 50u

    Day 4

    Start with 150u and 900,000 coins.
    Spend 900,000 coins on "OVER LOGGING!"
    Collect 50u
    Convert 100u to 5,000,000 coins

    Day 5
    Start with 100u and 5,000,000 coins


    As you can see, in a matter of 4 days you have made a 1,400,000 profit without any loss.

    Sorry for the dumb questions, but I can't figure out how to get Golden Hearts. I've got over 200 professions so I'm not completed the game.
    I try sending people on Vacation, for eg. Cook & Homemaker. Then reserve rooms in a building, say the top 2 in shiny tower and put the Cook on the left and the Homemaker on the right. I've tried with other combos from the list, with only 1 match per building, but to no avail. Any help please?

    This assumes that a person can't be bothered to log in every 20 hours or so and click on their Stadium. :)
