Thanks for the info in advance, because I'm still having problems with receiving this new gene from the last update. And also I have a feeling that trees and their utopium drop percentage were seriously nerfed. (update: percentage stayed the same, so NO, the trees are fine)
Hey all, We've identified the issue with the new job and we've already put in a patch to fix it. You should be getting the new jobs on the FIRST heart package you complete (regardless of whether it was accelerated or not) if you don't then hang tight till the patch comes out. We're really sorry about this. Trees have not been touched at all. Some other issues: - Reporter bug was fixed for most players. If you splice a reporter now, it should correctly award you the building. We did not manage to put in a fix for those players whose land was already deducted without the building. This will be in the new incoming patch. - Due to numerous feedback, we're going to be smoothening the expansion cost curve by quite a bit (will affect mid-game players the most). Expect to see much reduced expansion costs in the upcoming patch. - Utopium to Coin exchange will now scale based on level. Keep in mind that the most efficient way to level up will still be via the Legal Loophole ability and not Utopium -> Coin -> Expand route.
I didn't get a flash screen or announcement or anything about the new gene but my job count did jump from 150 to 155, so I think I just need to be patient until I get to a level where the gene will unlock. I think my expansion cost curve has changed already? My discount is only about 24% so far but my next expansion only jumped by about $10 million - it definitely didn't double like I was expecting it to after reading through a good chunk of the forum today Also, today I had a tree drop 3 utopium at one go!
There's also a 5 utopium tree drop but good luck receiving that. I think it's not even in the game, just in the files.
Ah well, the curve currently smoothes out a lot after a certain level. What we've done is essentially smoothen out the doubling effect so that the next level ups are much less intimidating. And yes, there is a really small chance that you'll get 3u from a tree!
So, unlike others, I had no problem getting the new Special gene, however, I'm now at 154/155 and I haven't gotten the mutant Special unlocked. Every building is fully staffed, even the two extra City Squares I built. Also, I somehow managed to place a building on top of a piece of decor, and put a person to work before I realized, so I can't delete it, nor can I access the stats page.
No, mine has been that way since I unlocked the explorer, back when I was at 50/150; now I'm at 112/155, I hoped the update would fix it but alas it didn't happen I can't access the gallery from the courthouse either, and I have no way to see which animal species I've discovered. I'm keeping track of clones and splicing combinations by the trusted old method of pen and paper After the update I didn't get the new gene (filled the hearts at least 4 or 5 times since) but my buildings rotate just fine.
We'd definitely appreciate it if you can contact us at [email protected] to clarify the issue! These sound like new bugs we've never encountered before.
Just updated. I didn't get the new gene from hearts either but was wondering if its just a gene or if it requires building placement right away. I have 160/160 space so no place for new building to go right now was wondering if that had anything to do with it.
Its just a gene like the dreamer or explorer so you'll be ok. Though, there is one new building in the update.
Thanks Ivan. I took advantage of the Valentine's Day sale to throw some more money LambdaMu's way. Hope it helps. Bought the medium Utopium pack which will come in handy finishing those achievements before the next content patch.
Me too. If the sales goes through all weekend I'm getting the 1000 ut because this is the best freemeium to date and killer iap prices I threw down 2 bucks on 100 ut already yesterday.great game Ivan
Sorry if this was mentioned already, but rotating buildings with words on it needs to be tweaked (CSI, Game Station, etc). Love the game!
Actually, this was already acknowledged by the developers in the game. Tap on the Spoiler School of Magic and you see it says "Most buildings, trees, and decor can now be flipped. Text inversion may occur until spells become stronger." This was obviously the quickest and easiest way to accommodate all of the people requesting the ability to "rotate" buildings. To have true rotation they would have to quadruple the amount of sprites in the game, as they would need to literally draw each building from 3 additional sides. This game doesn't use 3d objects, so you can't simply just "move the camera". I for one think that the ability to flip a building is an ingenious "quick fix" by the developer, and a reasonable compromise for the fans.
I'm glad they added it too. I don't expect 4-sided sprites, but for the text ones they'll need to create 2 sprites per building. I'm glad they got the new content out faster vs. slowing down the release with fixing inverted text, it's hardly a show stopper.
The game doesn't, but if they didn't build the objects outside of the game in 3D, they weren't thinking clearly or very far ahead. That said, I guess they weren't
