I am at 188 Bronze Plazas and still growing. It is easier for me to keep them then to click on them to delete.
Funny, I have filled hundreds of all-gold heart strings, both before funding research to reduce the number below 11, and now when I only have 6 hearts to fill, and I have NEVER received anything but an animal when I have a string of all gold hearts. Not saying you're wrong, just that my observations concur with TRB4's. In fact, I pretty much have to have almost all red hearts to get anything but a critter. And, WOW, it's hard believe, and kind of discouraging (or encouraging, I guess, depending on how you look at it) to see, that the new plazas all have the same occurrence rate as the glass house! I am OVERRUN with the chess plazas in particular, and have 7 of the new plazas combined, but only 1 glass house. My luck sucks!! Unfortunately, I could really use the glass houses, and find the new plazas kind of unsightly (sorry, I'm sure some out there love them ), so I have them tucked off to the side of the screen along with all of the extra gold, silver and bronze plazas. I agree bullseye, I keep them too. I figure the day after I delete the ones I don't need, Ivan will release a patch with a killer feature that will transform them into something awesome!
Ok, it won't let me make the Lumberjack, I can't mix the Carpenter and Strongman together! I have all 211 genes. Am I missing something?
You need the conspiracy theorist/secret hideout, I believe, to be able to access the splicing combos that give you the secret jobs. That might or might not be your problem?
Lumberjack is a "Secret" gene. You need to do the missions BRUTE FORCE and HIGHLY SPECIALIZED at Utopia HQ in order to be able to make the "Secret" genes.
On Workaholic: My thinking on the value of workaholic is simply that it's so much easier than tapping all those buildings! The vast majority of my income in on 50m timers, so workaholic makes them 1h 40m. Assuming 8 hours of sleep and constant uptime otherwise (which is unlikely, but one can dream) we're talking 10 taps per day. I am happy to spend 10 u per day (when making 26-27, or 51-52 w/ over logging, or 60 even w/ over logging and the mine upgrade - all not counting u from missions or the Casino) to enjoy as close to 100% uptime as is possible while only having to tap 10 times. It's a lot easier to play the game more during the day too, for example hitting workaholic while walking to a meeting, rather than needing to spend a minute to two really staring at the screen and tapping. On Over Logging: Someone a few pages back suggested that you should carefully consider if you want coins or u, since the conversation from coins to u is limited to 75 million -> 25 per day. I would argue that at the very least if you're unsure, and perhaps regardless, you should use over logging every day simply because coins back to u are not limited. If you over logged more than you want to, just convert back!
But IIRC the missions only unlock after you find one of the first four jobs in the list at the Secret Hideout.
One question: Anyone finish the do 50 missions achievement? I have been doing missions including some I wouldn't usually bother with because I want to get it. And I feel like I should be awfully close, but I haven't been keeping careful track. I just want to make sure it's not bugged or anything. (Three posts in a row, sorry. At least they were all on different subjects?)
I have max hearts (4 to collect) and have gotten tons of cash prizes with gold hearts as well as utopium over animals most of the time.
Are you talking maybe one gold heart in your four heart string, or all four hearts being gold? If you mean just one of the hearts being gold, then sure, that's consistent with what most have reported. If you're talking getting cash rewards with all of the hearts in your string gold, then you're game seems to be working completely differently than mine! In fact, I am now consistently getting all gold heart strings replacing animals that have been depleted by missions. This wasn't happening before the update, but I bet that's fixed now. So, it seems like a reliable way to restock for some of the key missions, like Good Boy Peach and Monkey Business, which, sadly, is completely worthless at Level 9!
Thanks again TRB4, I have the secret hideout, and have done a ton of missions with 3 spots locked up at Utopia HQ, I I think I need to do the "Highly Specialized" mission, I'll keep on tryin
"Highly Specialized" and "Brute Force" both appear in the top slots of Utopia HQ. if those slots are locked, you will need to make 1 of the first four secret genes first. Try making the Catcher Spoiler Police Officer + Baseballer Also, you need to have the Conspiracy Theorist and the Secret Hideout before you can start making any secret genes.
Slightly random point, but I hope they consider fixing the artwork on the Manor of Speaking. The perspective on the roof makes no sense.
I'm really surprised that the devs made such a big error with the bumper harvest not working when the app is closed. Big shame, I was gonna buy the heart IAP but waste of time ATM. Major mistake.
Lumbermill worth it or not? Correct me if I am wrong because my math is not the greatest but it seems to me that spending 75m to get 25u isn't worth it because if you do the conversion backwards say you are exchanging 100u to get 240m, for each 25u you are still only gaining back 60m. But in doing the lumbermill you are spending 75m per 25u. Am I the only one who thinks so? I see other threads here where people seem to be using lumbermill everyday. Is it because of my level, I am currently at Level 24.
