    Reposting so this isn't lost on the bottom of the last page :)

    Hey Ivan, I'm wondering... This is nice but it doesn't actually fix the problem I was having:

    So the problem is that the special animals still get wasted. If you need a special animal for a mission and that animal can be used at any slot of a previous mission, it gets "stuck" there and doesn't flow down. A quick fix for this could be that "available" animals get recalculated for each mission; ie. I tap the mission and it picks eligible animals from *all* my animals, and doesn't 'save' the ones used on previous missions. Each mission should be counted separately. It should also grab animals for the most 'difficult' places first; ie. find animals to fill the Mythical slot *before* the Any slots. (I lost a Gummy Bear that I could have used in a Mythical slot because the same mission had an "Any" slot that took it).

    Any thoughts?

    So, apparently they added new decorations in 1.41?

    I just got the following from missions (I guess you can get them from the casino too)

    -Chess Plaza (1 Spirit, a simple looking plaza with 2 chess tables) and
    -Tree Plaza (1 Spirit, a cool little plaza with a single pine tree and 2 small souvenir stands and 2 little fountains)

    The missions were easy, I think just 9 animals or 8 and a small amount of U, I forget.

    Other than those, does anyone know of any items that were added in the last patch?

    So I'm pretty much in a holding pattern with PP. I'm at 225/211 jobs with all buildings (I built 1 extra Tavern and Hero Mansion), and got myself a nice cushion of 200m and 200u.

    I spent like 2 whole days redecorating my whole town so I'm pretty much at the point where all I have left to do is upgrade buildings, finish up with some astroglass trees and glass houses from the casino, and rearrange the houses to give more golden hearts. I'll probably still keep playing to stockpile utopium/cash in preparation for the next update though.

    I'm actually pretty proud of how my town looks. I wish I had photoshop so I could stitch together screenshots and make a big screenshot of the whole city.

    Also I'm not sure if it was just added but the ability to click the heart bar to jump right to the house you need to click is an amazingly awesome addition. Really love how the devs have been supporting the game up to this point!

    There is also a
    Dog Park, which is a plaza with a bone-shaped pool for the pups to play in. Also 1 spirit.

    Thanks, I had looked through the forums a few times but didn't notice anyone else mentioning this issue.

    Is this game more like kairosoft's management games or more like tiny towers? In other words is it a game where you actually have something to do, or is it one of those "wait 5 hours real time until X recharges or buy DLC to kill the cooldown" crap?

    I have been leaving my game open to take advantage of Bumper Season.

    My battery drains quickly, and folks have mentioned that this is due to all the graphic elements on the screen.

    So if I move into a remote part of space away from my city (and the associated animations), would this slow down the battery drain?

    Anybody notice if they fixed the Racecar Driver bug that eats 1 land for no reason...?

    Also: what building normally produces the x2 Trees bonus? I have the lumber mill, but somehow can't figure out where the double-value tree buff comes from...

    So, after reading the last few pages, some questions.

    What is this CC strat being mentioned? Just curious.

    And what is this golden heart repositioning thing I saw in a couple posts?

    The CC strat is the Church/Casino strategy. Essentially it involves:

    1. Getting the Dreamer as your first Special Gene (requires pure luck)
    2. Not leveling up beyond level 9, to keep the costs of Casino spins low
    3. Getting all land beyond level 9 from the Chuch.
    4. Using the Casino to provide AG housing to reduce land usage.
    5. Lots of patience.

    Golden Hearts are earned when the heart button is next to a pair of clones that will result in a new gene when combined. Their order IS important, for example a pair with a Botanist on the left and a Vet on the right WILL produce a golden heart, however a pair with a Vet on the left and a Botanist on the right WILL NOT produce a Golden Heart. The "repositioning thing" refers to a feature (bug) that allow you to position the heart button on different rows within a house by repeatedly entering and exiting the house until the heart button appears next to the couple that you want to use. Ivan has stated that they plan to "fix" this feature in a future update.

    I would disagree on the last point there - I actually found that it required a lot less patience than the 'normal' route through the game. There is a slow patch upon hitting the level 9 threshold, where your income isn't high enough for rapid casino spins, but once through that I was dumping utopium on building completion/clone arrival etc as I could generate it so easily.

    I reached 225 jobs and all buildings upgraded to max after 6 days. In 1.41, I'm sure this could be done in even less time, as you can easily keep 100% uptime on the farm bonus now.

    I said before that I was giving up and quitting this game due to missing an animal for the last mission, but I have kept renewing my buildings once a day and spending all the cash on the animal hospital prizes, trying to unlock the Stag so I can complete that final mission. It's been several weeks with no Stag in sight. Do the odds lean in favor of animals you may need for missions, or is it really just random? I found all of the animals required for the other missions within days after missions were added to the game.

    After all this time I don't want to give up and spend the U to quick-solve the mission. And I think this mission used to take 100U to solve but now it's 200U, or am I imagining things?

    That is exactly what Golden Hearts are for. If you want to improve your odds of getting that Stag (pretty much guaranteed) you need to fill your heart bar with ALL golden hearts.

    Has anybody gotten the "Mission Improbable" achievement (complete 50 missions) to trigger?

    Not I. I asked some days ago if it was bugged and it's sure looking like it.

    Last thing I read in this thread was that people didn't know what golden hearts were for. I guess I'll have to do some research on that.

    Thanks, that'll help. I also found some discussion on the golden hearts through google, will try to arrange some pairs and see if I can get some golden hearts set up. I just need that one darn Stag!

    I have needed a cow for days. Just a cow. A simple, Tier 1 animal. That's all I ask. And yet....though I get bazillions of useless animals I don't want when I'd prefer utopium or AG houses....no cow. Why is it so hard to get a tier 1 animal????? When I fill up all gold hearts it should check what I need for missions and give me that...
