    Now that I discovered this feature, I'm finding it to be a very fast, convenient means to navigating to the newly spawned hearts. Problem is, my forest and casino, etc. are near the bottom of my town, quite a ways from my housing at the top, so I'm having to head back to those areas the old fashioned way by finger scrolling after pumping the heart. You know what would be nice? If the home button on the LL part of the screen didn't trigger the "Return to Origin?" window, but just took you there. If so, then you could place the Town Hall in one side of town, and the housing on the other side and easily warp back and forth with single touches.

    Why not just put your Town Hall next to your forest and Casino? Then you could tap the heart bar to get to hearts, and then tap the home icon to go back to your forest and Casino. Seems like an easy fix.

    I am not such a fan of the astroglass trees...they don't take up land, and that's nice, but they're bright pink, and all identical. I prefer the green trees. Would it be possible to have the AG trees at least come in a few shapes, and maybe in other shades--pale pink, white, dark or pale green...anything but bright pink?

    Another feature I would love to see would be some way to check building levels at a glance. Maybe you could activate a certain ability, and be able to see every building's level displayed above it, next to the output numbers? It is taking me a while to get all my buildings to level 5, and it's a pain to keep having to check on which ones still need upgrades.

    I have just been informed that Utopia Corp. Landscaping Division is working on some new terraforming technologies. Keep those pixel fingers crossed.

    Your most valuable feedback has been noted. Who knows, it might actually become (virtual) reality some day!

    Shades of pink - what an idea! Seriously. Orders have been issued to the Strategic Planting Division to proceed with Advanced Utopium Chloroplasty.

    My take on astroglass items is since they take no land there's no harm in having extra. Just stash them somewhere and ignore them.

    Well, as I stated in my message, the TH doesn't work well for that now because of the "Return to Origin?" prompt. It defeats the one-touch warp. That's why I requested it just be a touch-and-go.

    I LOVE the pink trees! :D Wouldn't mind options, though.

    Yep, that's what I'm doing. But if I get word at some point from Ivan that they'll never be worth anything more than they are...I'm gonna start deleting those decor and Manors. :D

    Incidentally, Ivan and co, this is steep enough to, potentially, lose you money. I never would have bought the doubler at 4.99, but only hesitated a few days to buy it at 2.99 (I think that's what it was at the time).

    The mine and heart IAP are so high, there isn't a chance I'd buy them. Were they $3, though, I probably would.

    Meaning: you could have made $9 off me. Instead, you're making $3. And had I started with 1.41, you'd have made precisely nada. Just FYI; I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

    When talking about the efficacy of incremental IAP, I always point to Junk Jack as the gold standard. Each update comes with a number of $1-3 IAP items that provide both an in-game benefit as well as a decorative one. In no case does the in-game benefit alter your resources to the point of seriously impacting your game progress. Instead, they give you a way to assist a little bit in the type of gameplay you enjoy most (see, primarily: hats that occasionally drop items)

    Are there intentions standardize the confirmations for things, specifically I'm looking at the level up request and having a confirmation window in the upper right corner like every other confirmation window.

    Well then try this, tap the screen with 3 fingers at the same time, this will bring you to the center of the space grid (0,0). Place your forest and Casino there. Then you can tap the heart bar to get to your hearts, and then tap the screen with 3 fingers to get back to your forest and Casino.

    Hmm, i think our policy currently is to have the confirmation window on every thing that will cost Utopium. Definitely see the need for a confirmation window with the Expand button. We'll see how it goes.

    Today I crossed both 50 clones and 65 land in my level 0 c/c game. I was delighted to get both the bureaucrat gene and the "thank you for upgrading, have some land, u, and three timers". I'm not sure which metric did it (land or genes).

    Happy days.

    backing up

    Can someone explain how I can back up my game now that icloud does not sync?

    I just did a manual backup of my ipad to the computer. I couldn't find a specific control for selecting what apps to back up or not. I've already blown away my c/c game twice trying to back up.

    Once I delete the app off of my ipad what do I need to do to restore my game from the previous point?

    I'd like to get the sorted out before syncing my main game on my phone. I think if I lost all my progress made on the game I would have to retire. I can't see myself starting from scratch. For some reason its not an issue on my c/c game. I kinda of enjoy the slow start.
