In my opinion, the most direct way of turning coins into utopium is the Lumber Mill event "Over Logging!". You get the same conversion rate as you would if you traded utopium for coins (at the best value). In essence 1u = 3,000,000 coins and 3,000,000 coins = 1u By this logic we can put a price on Mutopium as well. 25u = 1Mu 25*3,000,000 = 75,000,000 1Mu = 75,000,000 coins
Thanks for the updated spreadsheet, TRB4. I'm going to use it to insure that when going for the OCD achievement I upgrade clones in higher earning buildings first!
I am about to update my CC game. It is a "pure" game with no duplicates. But I am tempted to create a slew of Gyms before upgrading just in case.
New iap bug? I got a "limited time" sale, event, and thought about it for a while, then went back to purchase U and found the prices had tripled, with the event still in effect. Hard to do any real testing from a single account, but at the moment it looks like if you dose the app the bonuses of the event disappear while the event itself stays. That or the company tripled U prices for the sale event in between. Oh and something may be wrong with the spirit counter. That or there is some hidden mechanic I am unaware of. Both my current and possible maximum spirit fluctuate wildly. I've been at 38/78, turn on bonus spirit for 30, bringing me to 68/78, then five minutes later I show 120/80, that sort of thing, all over the place. Theorizing that the spirit bonus may be double applying somehow without showing multiple buffs.
An update on the "crashing when trying to visit friends bug" - the game also crashes when I try to trade a pet.
Fixed with patch. But we've noted that low-memory crashes occurring at that point on 3GS, iPad 1 devices. What device are you using?
I just send a Janitor to the Altar and upgraded him from 2cps to 3cps. The effect seem to only apply to him and not to all the other Janitors I have in my city. For some reason, I thought it would apply to all of them. Is this a bug?
not yet so far. twice in a row I collected all golden hearts (doubly sure about that) but received coins!! but then i had a tier 5 Trout after that with all golden hearts. for those who have some utopium to spare (there's some degree of rebate anyway), you can change the couple which the heart is at to a golden couple. you can't vacate both at once, so you could either form a couple with one of them, or vacate them one by one. (vacate guy 1 - replace - vacate guy 2 - replace). you'll still get that golden heart. although whether the golden heart brings any good now is another different matter altogether... EDIT: sorry if i wasn't clear. i mean vacate to the hotel
Well, it seems that my prediction has pretty much been fulfilled. Here is what I wrote on June 25th: "The problem that is going to arise is "How do you drain the surplus of currencies from end game players without adding ridiculous inflation for new players?" That will be a difficult question for the devs to answer. If they don't address the surplus wealth, all of the rich players will blow through the update in a day and complain about having nothing to do again. Conversely if they make things in the update cost hundreds of utopium and millions of coins then the game will be inaccessible to new players. But they also can't really make prices based on player level anymore because of all the people who are running low level games by abusing the Church and Casino. They also shouldn't base prices on a percentage of your total wealth, because that would make it seem pointless to increase your town's CPS or to try to collect more utopium." I have marked the relevant part in bold.
And the update/fix is alreay here ! What happened to the delay ?! It's apreciable, thanks ! For those who wonder about my previous questions and the ability to log off facebook and to log back with another account, you juste have to delete the app from your fb account And PP will ask you again for a fb account after that !
I was thinking about this last night, actually. Ideally we'd split the fb group into orderly groups of 20ish people so everyone retains a good number of friends. Major pain to make happen, though!
If the rewards merited it (which currently they don't) then I would do this permanently in my CC game. In my CC game, where I have one golden couple in every residence, I could uncouple the other slots so the golden couple gets chosen every time.
Long time lurker here. Downloaded update and now game won't launch at all. Just sits on the 'pixel people' splash screen. Tried force quitting and restarting the app. Same problem on both iPad and iPhone. Disappointing as I was just getting back into this after losing interest while we all waited for the update. Any other unlucky souls got this or is it just me?
Okay... so the Trading Mailbox was sort of fixed. Now instead of the long number being displayed when a friend proposing a trade is not on my list it says "PLEASE REFRESH" However, I can still only have 25 friends on my list and no matter how many times I hit REFRESH, I can't get names on most of my trades. But the GOOD NEWS is that I was able to tap on trades that said "PLEASE REFRESH" and complete the trade anyways. So now I can RECEIVE trades from anyone of my friends, I just won't be able to tell WHO the request is from. Also, I can only SEND trades to the 25 people on my in game friends list.
