    Haha...no duh! :p Sorry, yeah, I figured that out, but you cannot select the gender you get at the arrival center, so if you're wanting a female genie and recruit three male clones....well, you're out of luck. I'm sitting on 3 male clones now and want girls....sigh

    I'm still missing 2 land in the most recent update. Was 206/210. Now 206/215. I counted 42 times, and I'm sure I only have 204 land filled with buildings/decors/trees.

    I was affected by a bug that ate two of my trees when I was moving items around.

    I have both the Reporter and the Food Critic.

    Can't land be calculated manually?

    Well I'm at 155/155 now, thanks devs for the patch. Only a few more buildings need filling, taking my time... Just wondering what the switch actually does in the new building apart from looking pretty?
    Also I never seem to get u from my trees, only coins. When people on here mention harvesting their forests, how many trees would that be? I've got 15 so far, but looking to expand it :)

    I've got 20 and never need to worry about any purchases under 10u.

    I get aboutthat much about daily and only play casually (10 mins a day).

    I don't know about the odds people talk about, but for me it seems the trees have a higher chance of yielding 1u the longer you're still in-game and harvesting them.

    I usually harvest all of them one round and get nothing but 100c. The second round o harvesting is when I yield 5u total.

    Achievements

    I have met the criteria for the "One Giant Leap" achievement but it has not unlocked. I tried refreshing the achievements and it did not help. I just earned another achievement that did unlock. This achievement appears to be stuck for me.

    You already start the game with some trees (3, i think), and you need to BUILD 50 trees to obtain the achievement. You can check the Game Center to track the progress if you want to be sure.

    It's actually BUILD 30, not 50 (the description in GC is wrong) but the *build* part is not. It will unlock at 33.

    You know what the difference is? It's developers being focused on delivering a qualitative product, instead being focused on short-term easy earned money. ;)
    If you want a long lasting income you just need to invest in the product. The best thing to do is liking the process of investing into something, instead of being stubbornly impatient. Even short-sighted if you want to.
    There is nothing wrong with the desire and will to achieve something fast, it becomes wrong when not-respecting the proces towards it. :)
    Some things work out quite easily, others require more labor or investment to achieve. Always keep an eye out for the efficiency, is the whole thing worthwhile, tough.

    Anyhow, a part from discovering genetics and building stuff are there plans to look outside your colony? Like discovering stuff? I know it's future-talk.

    It would be nice if the game started automatically when resuming but I'm sure there are complications to that.

    So apparently I have found 150 jobs and been given the achievement for it... But it activated on discovering my 130th job not 150th.

    The job that unlocked it was
    dating advisor

    Is it a bug that when you click a building that's not full that it shows you the formula? I clicked a grey one and it said what I needed and how to get it. Guess that saves flipping through pages.

    Thank you for the reply! :D

    I see screenshots of the game where the pixel people are walking around on the map. How I can get this function?

    As you unlock them
     
  14. When it's a person I've already made, it shows the formula, though when I haven't made one, then it still comes up with "show the formula"

    We've tried adding a manual land check into the game. Problem was that the activation of the ability required some processing time. So while the game was recounting the land, there was a short window where if anything happened (say a call came in or the home button was pressed), the recalculation would be interrupted and the land values would be corrupted. This results in the lost of the city. So, nope, no easy way to recheck the land at the moment.

    Not quite sure what happened here, it told me a new clone had arrived and then Eve Jobs turned up again. I now have 156/155 :-/

    Edit... It sorted itself out when I went back in after posting this. It had a bug with the sound too, after filling the heart the filling up heart noise just played constantly until I quit the game.

    I know why (I'm a game developer and I know the manual checking process takes a lot of time). Can't the "land count" during the recalculation be stored in a temporary variable? And then, if the recalculation process is done without interruptions, the actual land count is changed to that temporary variable, and if the process is interrupted then nothing happens (maybe an error message would come up).

    But then, I'm not sure exactly how iOS apps work so I can't tell whether it's possible. If it isn't (or just too much of a hassle to code)... well, I suppose I'll simply dump 16u into the church and stop complaining.

    No achievement at 30 trees, or 33 trees

    Hi,

    The tree achievement didn't pop up at 30 trees. I saw someone said that it would happen at 33, but that didn't work either.

    :confused::mad:
