    I restarted my game a few weeks ago, and now, I'm wondering. How do I unlock the Shiny Towers again? I have 85-105 land, and I thought the way to unlock more residential halls is by expanding land.

    I'm trying to avoid getting any of the lower buildings, because they cannot be deleted.

    I just today got all 155 jobs and completed the construction of the last few buildings,
    including the altar.

    Is there something that I'm supposed to do next to see this 'ending' of the game? Or was it just
    the little message that popped up saying that I am 'almost there'?

    Not sure if I'm missing something.. :confused:

    Thanks for this quick feedback..

    When it first crashed, there was nothing I could do: nothing in my city, not even the grid, was showing. Nothing at all was happening. I had to reset and reinstall, now I'm back to the tutorial, with 3 jobs out of 155... Any ideas?

    Nothing in your city and no grids showing is fine. The key is if your city is showing XX/155 jobs instead of 0/155. If it still shows the current number of jobs you have unlocked, you can find your city using the method i described.

    If it shows 0/155, we probably can't do anything and would appreciate if you contacted us personally so we can identify the bug and put a fix it. As far as we currently know, a city-wiping bug does NOT exist in the current live version. There has been 0 reports of dead cities since the last version went live (plus we believe we removed the source of the problem).

    If you have deleted the app, then we can't help you in any way. Perhaps you could restore your save game by restoring an earlier backup (if you regularly backup your device). We're sorry for this. Cloud saving will be back with a vengence in the coming weeks.

    unlocks at xxx/115.

    PS: The option to remove existing buildings will be in the next patch. But it will cost a small utopium cost to remove it (to prevent many exploits).

    The one thing I would like to see in any new version (apart from new content!) is a change in how you access buildings. At the moment when you go to reset the building and you don't quite touch the right place it opens a different building which you have to then close and try again. I would like to see either the reset area bigger or access to a building would require a double tap. For hearts you can access either with a double tap or a bigger area.

    This should eliminate opening the building by accident.

    Not sure what you mean. There are 64 animals in total but I had to find 865 to get them all. I now have 1046 in the rescue building...

    That's exactly what I meant. You posted that you had to rescue 865 to get the last animal, I was wondering how many you had rescued and were in the shelter total, as in including those before you were down to one more.

    In case anyone wants to see more data:

    Borrowing the math from TRB4. I just did my 100 surprise purchases (well, I had done one before so I filled up the hearts by hand once and then did 99 purchases) and here are my results:

    Reward - Number (expected number)

    5K - 39 (28)
    50K - 8 (8)
    2U - 7 (9)
    5U - 9 (5)
    A T1 - 17 (25)
    A T2 - 16 (15)
    A T3 - 2 (7)
    A T4 - 2 (3)

    Basically I got fewer T1, 3, and 4 animals than expected in exchange for loads more coins (ugh) and u. It's a pretty disappointing set (especially as the two T4 animals were both ones I already had) but on the other hand I got the T2 and T3 animals I was missing and banked a bunch of u. (The last T3 I was missing was on surprise number 98 - that moment right there was when I went from disappointed to satisfied.)

    T4 animals are the only achievement I'm still missing.

    I WAS going to get more land until I realized I had all the achievements except for the 100 surprises and animal tiers. So I put the money towards surprises. Only got to do 44... but oh well!

    actual and (expected)

    5K - 13 (12)
    50K - 3 (4)
    2U - 2 (4)
    5U - 4 (2)
    A T1 - 10 (11)
    A T2 - 5 (7)
    A T3 - 4 (3)
    A T4 - 3 (1)

    And I got the T2 animals achievement. I'd say I lucked out on T4, but they were all animals I had already.

    I bought 100 more surprises. I needed two more super rare animals to be done.

    5K - 24 (28)
    50K - 7 (8)
    2U - 8 (9)
    5U - 5 (5)
    A T1 - 22 (25)
    A T2 - 22 (15)
    A T3 - 11 (7)
    A T4 - 1 (3)

    I got a ton of animals... but only one super rare and it was a duplicate.

    Question for Ivan@LambdaMu -

    Should we be cautiously expanding our empire, or can we assume that future updates will allow us to level past 50 (500 land)?

    Cautious. In the next couple of patches, new mechanics will be introduced to 1) further de-emphasize the need for land expansion 2) make the idea of land expansion a more strategic one.

    I was saving up money to be able to buy more land when the next game-update hits, but then I figured I would try to get that last tier 4 animal I still need. So I ended up buying 200 instant surprises..

    And these were the results:

    5k - 49
    50k - 17
    2u - 19
    5u - 12
    T1 - 51
    T2 - 38
    T3 - 11
    T4 - 3

    (Sorry for not including the expected values, but I couldn't find them that quickly)

    Unfortunately the elusive last animal wasn't among the 3 ones I got, but overall I'm not disappointed.



    Ps. Thanks for a great game. Hope the next update comes soon.

    34trees, about ten minutes throughout the day tapping them, not a single utopium. This is stupid.

    I wouldn't think that 999,999,999 would be a limit you'd have to worry about. More likely is a limit of 2,147,483,647 if the developers used a signed 32-bit integer for coins (as is the case in Pocket Planes), or 4,294,967,295 if they use an unsigned integer.
