OK, this very well may be a dumb question that's already been asked, but how do I unlock missions? I saw this: And went and cloned a police officer, but I'm not seeing an option for a Utopia HQ when I try to build something. This is likely a newbie error, only been playing for a week or two. Help?
What is the new logic for calculating build times? Building a Disco and Broadcast Station right now, which both take about 20hrs (at level 27), but I just started a Casino and it is telling me it will be ready in just 58 minutes.... Is this a glitch, or is there a quirk to the new system I missed?
It seems that some buildings, mostly those with new features (missions, casino, etc.) are given extremely short build times, probably so you can access the new content quicker. But the other buildings take me about 18 hours with a 50% discount. So I would say that they have a base time of 36 hours with no discount.
ok, this update is pretty overwhelming. The most glaring thing for me was starting up the game and seeing white numbers (rather than green) popping up everywhere. I can barely imagine those players who created dozens of a dupe building and now had to fill up all the additional job vacancies in order to get max cps. So many things to do, so little time... and land. Almost makes me want to start removing all but a few trees just to make space. This update needs a guide of sorts on its own man....
It holds Spoiler two people. I also have a "Precarious Heights" under construction now and don't feeling any need to speed it up, so I'll report on that tomorrow. But it occupies Spoiler two astroglass squares.
Here's a cautionary note on missions: I ended up using up all my big cats for the Spoiler Thunder Thunder mission (which rewards you with a Spoiler gold plaza, worth 6 spirit ), but accidentally used up all my Spoiler lions in the process, and I need one of those to get the Spoiler Jack Frost gene, so now that's the only thing missing. Grrr. So keep an eye on your animal inventory as you decide to complete missions! I spent about 400 million on Animal Shelter boosts today, plus normal heart fills (nice that you can get the surprise with only 4 hearts now) and already have all 12 tier 5 animals! Only missing the aforementioned tier 2 animal in order to complete the gene pool.
It occupies the squares but it doesn't cost any land, I think its the same for other rewards like trees and decor from casino.
Yes, of course--that's why I called them "astroglass squares". The size only matters when you are refining your city layout.
Can anyone clarify the prerequisite for being able to use duplicating clones? I have the bank and both unique jobs filled but the third must be a duplicate. Yet I can't employ the duplicate, game just won't let me. Update: Found the third unique profession for the bank. All good now.
Anyone else having an issue with trees giving up any Utopium? I've played several hours today, and despite my sprawling forest of 44 trees, I've gotten ZERO Utopium rewards, which would obviously be a drastic reduction in the rate compared to pre-update. In general I'm actually surprised how positive everyone seems to be about the changes. I feel like the developers were somewhat underhanded in their description when they focused on the supposed generosity of reducing build/clone times and fail to mention that Utopium is suddenly significantly harder to earn while simultaneously being required to access much of the new content. The missions are particularly annoying in the demands vs. payoff... Still enjoying the game, but disappointed in LamdaMu's apparent direction
Possibly a silly question but where has the achievement list gone? I just got the animal farm one and went to collect my utopian and its disappeared from the museum.....
I have to say I agree with you. Before, I could save up 2million coins and buy a Surprise at the Gene Pool, which would occasionally offer 2 or 5 U. That would be my primary way of earning U, combined with earning Surprises manually or clicking on trees. Now, you cannot earn U through purchased surprises (animal shelter, as far as I have experienced, only pays out animals and money), so have to save up 7.5million for a spin at the casino. Or you buy surprises and try to earn U through missions, but surprises now cost twice as much so that again makes it harder. The manually earned surprises by earning hearts also only pay out 1 or 2 U now since the update (a bug apparently to be fixed in the next update). Plus to even start discovering new jobs you need to unlock new genes in the missions which require a minimum of 20U just to qualify, plus all the other requirements. I'm going to persevere, but I have found myself playing it less frequently as I just need so much more money now to have a hope of earning any U.
Did you upgrade at the research lab to only need 4 hearts to earn a surprise? If so, can I ask how you earned the 120U required to upgrade? Did you buy it or earn it in-game?
I wanna say a gold heart basically gaurantees an animal, and boost chances for rarer animals. I usually get tier 4/5 with one golden heart, though 2 times I've gotten lower tiers. And one time I got two golden hearts and it gave me the special tier 5 dragon. Confirmation would be nice though!
Sent the mayor on vacation to build him a new house, went to his workplace and this shows up. I've only just read they go to the hotel on vacation so that's ok, I'm about to go have a look.
Nope. Since updating, I've literally gotten zero Utopium from the trees. I was hoping it was an error in the game's clock system adjusting to the update, so I played again for an hour after 12:00AM (when the Utopium Mine resets and presumably the 25U counter on the trees), but still received only 10c, 100c, or 1000c rewards. The description under the trees' info window still states that it is possible to earn 25U/Day, so I suspect it is a glitch and not an intentional change to the system...
