I don't know what company you're using for the offers for premium currency but I hope you're not paying them much - I tapped on two which said "free", the first one cost £9.99 and the second cost £4.99, and two others that I selected just displayed an error. I've never seen problems like this with these sort of offers for IAP before.
Greetings Mayors! There are several errors that we have tried to correct for in this update, including the land lost by some users due to a mischievous reporter gene. Please do not be alarmed. As you can see, the update was submitted as quickly as possible, and we attempted to address as many issues as we could in that time. We apologize for any delays and inconveniences you might have encountered in the process. The next set of bug fixes will be scheduled for the next patch that is being worked on, where we are presently conducting research at full steam to stabilize as many new gene combinations as we can. I am sure you will enjoy these new additions to your town in the future. Stay tuned!
I'm just getting the free advert to play repeatedly. Just realised that the hint button in buildings now shows the formula for existing jobs, which is marvellous! Ok. Ceasing hyperventalation. No need, no need. Will do!
I've also had a few issues with the free utopian deals. I completed the 'free ticket' offer allegedly for 40u but didn't get anything back, and about 50% of the time watching the videos I've not been getting anything either.... Definitely wont be trying any more until this gets resolved. Don't mind not getting 1u back but took me ages to go though the process to get the 40 and very annoyed when that didn't deliver any.
Guys, if anyone is having any issues with the Utopium offers, there is a support link if you scroll to the bottom. Someone from the ad offer company will be able to assist you. Cheers
So, since then I have built 1 house so I had 200/205 land for a bit, but now mysteriously I have 201/205 land without building anything else...
I just signed my brother up for a ton of spam e-mails and got 25 Utopium. Woot. Hilarious that these survey companies are trying to get entrants via mobile phones when their sites are not optimized for mobile. Edit: I just spent 20 mins filling out a survey and received no Utopium. Never doing that again.
YAY PATCH!!! Thanks Chillingo Finally got the Romantic gene! And I appreciate the Focus Group Utopium offers! We appreciate all your work! Looking forward to the next update
I seriously don't get the Romantic gene after the update. I have 150/155 genes now. Three blank clones waiting. Surprises didn't give me anything but coins. I pressed repair button in the arrival center.
Can anyone who has updated please let us know if it still costs Spoiler 40u via the legal loophole for expansions. Don't want to update just yet if it costs more. Thank you.
Really great bunch of updates. I noticed that clicking on vacant positions will also now reveal the formula for it, so long as you've done it before.
Update worked fine for me, thank you. I flipped the switch in the new building for about 10 seconds and realized that was not gonna be something I wanted to look at for long (kind of like the alternate stellar backgrounds) and went back to having my "mind on the money". All in all, this is a very clever, whimsical game though, and I commend the designers on working hard to keep it running well for almost all and trying to improve the experience. I'm kind of maxed out on game options, but will look for the next update for sure. A suggestion for the forests: I noticed that once the 25 utopium daily limit is reached the reward that replaces the +1 utopium is still +10 coins. It's a minor issue, but as I said earlier, it feels like a small let-down. I usually do a quick check on how many utopium I have before beginning my daily harvest, so know when I will max out. I use the +10 coin reward as a confirmation that I'm done until the next day. Thing is, I usually end up quitting the game for the day at that point, which is fine, but...I might play longer if those +10 coin rewards that replace the utopium yields were a little something special instead of something that feels more like an insult. Two suggestions are to change the coding to make that reward worth either 10,000-100,000 coins (maybe random), or perhaps the +10 coins could be replaced with a heart that counts toward the tally you need for an instant surprise? Another request would be some way to further reduce the # hearts needed to be captured from 5 down to perhaps a low of 3. That would also keep me playing longer. I'd be happy to have to earn that privilege with a hefty utopium cost or maybe needing to reach some threshold land level. As it stands now, I usually find that once I've harvested my 25 forest utopium, the game isn't rewarding enough to play until the following day because all that's left is the heart reward and waiting the 2-3 minutes to fill up 5 hearts is too tedious to keep up for more than 1-2 surprises. Again, that's not a knock on the game...life has other offerings, hehe.
"Can anyone who has updated please let us know if it still costs Spoiler: 40u via the legal loophole for expansions. Don't want to update just yet if it costs more. Thank you." Yes, still 40u
Apparently, the cost of expansion has been Spoiler maxed at 300m coins before discount, so 150m after max discount. Level 27 I think. This is maybe not such a great idea as it will be easier and easier to expand with increasing production and fixed cost. Good news for the players who want to expand dramatically Also the cost of my 26th expansion went down a notch (10m after discount) so I guess they did stream down the cost of expansion a bit.
So what are the expansion costs in coins now? Spoiler Level 20 was originally 90 million, based on what I've seen would it be down to 70 or 80 million? How much is added per level?
