    I have the splash screen insta-crash issue now myself. With the weak signal msg when in airplane mode.

    It did go thru once but after about two secs would soft reset to starting position in my utopia.

    Not sure if its related but yday my uptopium trees reset during the course of the day so with over logging I was able to collect 100u.

    If it helps, I have all jobs unlocked, tho cannot place the aforementioned tattoo artist, have all IAP except the animal shelter too.

    Thanks for the teams effort in getting these bugs looked at so quickly, as well as the ongoing support of the app. I work as a software engineer for a relatively niche software house so can only imagine the issues with such a wide user base.

    Ok, thanks. (And thanks for the level experiment, Vic!)

    My "never expand" game (i.e. still at level 1) used to have the bare minimum for a no-duplicates town with only astroglass housing, trees and decor: 165 squares. But now that the church has been neutered, I spent 1880u to expand to 400 squares prior to upgrading. I thought if there was a limit, I should expand to that, but if not, I'll stop. 235 empty spaces should be more than enough for all future new buildings (with no dups) and also have room to make a nice shoreline (since that decor costs land).

    So is it normal that I don't see anyone walking around anymore?

    Also, could you list all the bug fixes in the upcoming patch, Ivan?

    I'm really enjoying the game, but pricing on the IAPs makes it hard to support you (not a fan of consumables). Does it really pay of to increase prices that much? Only thing I might buy is the enterprise upgrade, not sure though.

    Gas Station

    Apologies if this has been raised before but I've been playing the update rather than following this forum. When I press the top (empty) job in the Gas Station the game crashes. I have the Tattooist sitting in the Arrival Centre but with no workplaces identified to go to? Is this bug on the fix list?

    Is having more than one Ministry Of Hope a bug? Will my game be screwed up by this?
    Please answer Ivan!

    You sound like you are on the prepatched version. The latest version 1.51.0 (you can check from the number at the top of the screen on the loading screen) should have already addressed the IAP reset issue and some of the crash issues

    Has anyone upgraded the Ministry of Hope with utopium and discovered some benefit in doing so?
    I'm hesitant to try it as there's no income or jobs associated with the building. So strange that such a building is still upgradable.

    I upgraded mine to level 5 for the hell of it, but there are no benefits, just a waste of 12u.

    I'm curious about this as well; it seems you can spend 20u to build more (just like any other additional building you want to build). But I don't want to build more if it's a bug and if they will all be removed except one if you had more than one built.

    This is a very good point. Now that building cost U instead of coins, this should be a factor.

    Example: Here are Tavern vs. City Square numbers to boost your true CPS by 2,000. (Which is something I'd like to do.) I'll assume your luck sucks and you only roll level 1 clones but you want them to be level 3 (conserving land as much as possible). Astroglass housing is assumed. (Speaking of which, I have stupid amounts of spare housing from using the Claw to get more U for more Mu...)

    In my experience the limited factor in getting Mu is U, so in parentheses I'll put how much U to make that much Mu using only the Goldblum mission.

    City Squares:
    7 needed
    28 land
    224 U for buildings and upgrades
    126 Mu for clone upgrades (1050 U required)

    Gyms:
    17 needed
    17 land
    544 U for buildings and upgrades
    255 Mu for clone upgrades (2150 U required)

    Now, I think it's pretty easy to get 100 U a day, but at that point we'd be talking about spending nearly a MONTH to raise enough U to build upgrade staff and upgrade those Gyms. Basically 2 every 3 days. In comparison, at one point pre-patch I was able to build and staff 6 Taverns per day. Having the time and remembering to splice clones became the limiting factor.

    Post-patch, aggressively growing your cps is much more challenging.

    Announcement for Utopia Corp.

    Hi Mayors!

    Just keeping you in the loop with what we hope is the tail end of the tough times we've all faced lately. We've survived the apocalypse once, and we plan to do so again!

    The next update to your Cloneware is awaiting approval at the Mothership. If you are facing difficulties with your city, please hang tight. Contact [email protected] if you're experiencing problems not mentioned below:

    What to expect in 1.52

    Cities can always be loaded and played offline, so Utopia can be with you any time, any place, everywhere!

    Unfinished clone-content from future updates removed, we have learnt not to mess with the timeline! (This will address crashes at the Garage, Space Admin, Lumber Mill)

    Tattoo artist misdemeanours resolved. Permanently and Indelibly.

    Stability improved for social tutorials and purchase restorations.

    We've made other minor adjustments and tweaks to help make your Utopia the best in the entire Universe! If all goes well and we have a stable 1.52, you can expect more content in the patch after, as the gene pool is bursting at its seams!

    Thank you for your support!

    Cant wait for update. The description sounds enticing enough. I got locked out of my game again so I killed time by visiting the lambdamu facebook in your signature. "secret underwater base off the coast of Singapore"? Lol! Is that to add an air of mystery and thrill, or protect game secrets, or both?

    Any idea when we might get new content? Seemed early on it was quite nice like every month or so and then nothing for quite some time due to apple taking forever to approve patches. So any update on that front might be nice.

    Hey, guys. I started playing this game about a month ago and I find that I'm more or less stuck in the gather-gold/expand-city cycle. Are there any Easter eggs in the game to make things more interesting in the meantime? It's taking me 2+ weeks for each expansion. :confused:
