Can't seem to delete the alpha clones for the professions, was this intended? Also hope this was noticed Update- my tab works now just shows incorrectly.
Doubled Instant Surprise / nerfed utopium? I was saving my money for this update, and was very discouraged to see that Instant Surprises cost double now (wish I had used my money) and it seems you don't get Utopium from them anymore?
You do, however the chances of obtaining animals have been increased, at the cost of the chances of obtaining utopium (remedied by the fact that through missions, animals can be exchanged for utopium). Also, due to a bug, the utopium awards from surprises are 1 and 2 utopium, rather than 2 and 5. This should be fixed in the next update though (back to 2 and 5).
Ive gotten 2 golden hearts 3 times and all times Ive gotten tier 5 animals, so thats a reason for me to believe they increase odds.
The odds of getting utopium have been greatly reduced with this update. I listed the odds a few pages ago, but I have listed them again below. Also just for the sake of comparison I have listed the OLD ODDS in bold red.
If I could make one suggestion to the developers of this game, it would be to include an option to a guaranteed new animal or just the option to adopt a particular (new) animal. Of course this should be very limited, perhaps once a day, or just a very steep price (50mil? Scales with level? scales with animal tier?). This may sound cheap or something, but it just doesn't make any sense to me to get your players completely stuck without a guaranteed way out of it. The odds of finding a particular animal, especially a high tier, are pretty slim. And it's just what it's called, odds. You can play for an eternity and not get that one particular animal. Meaning you can't advance in any way in the game. When you are stuck because you don't have any land left, you could simply invest time to get the money to expand. Same thing happens when you're stuck because there is no more room for additional people or when your arrival centre is jammed with people who can't yet move into a building. There was a guaranteed method, playing the game, waiting some time, to get out of there. So there is always a sense of progression. But now, I might invest time to get alot of money, blow it all on the shelter in hopes of finding that one particular animal and come out emptyhanded. It just sucks the fun and sense of progression out of the game tbh. Not to end on a low note; I really do enjoy the update, all the new ideas and options. Keep it up EDIT: My sister, who is also enjoying the update, came across an apparent bug. When splicing the racecar driver, the game said it would cost 1 land and deducted her 1 land when starting the splice. However, upon completion, there was no new building for her to build and the racecar driver was simply only able to work at the garage.
Quoted so it doesn't get lost at the bottom of the page Anyway, another thing. How exactly are animals chosen for the various missions? For instance, I have the old macdonald challenge, which require a farmer and 8 animals with the farm tag. I have plenty of pigs (9), cows (3), bulls (6), horses (6) and a donkey, all "farm" animals. But when I enter the mission, it insists on using the donkey (fair enough, albeit strange because I have the fewest of those) and all my sheep and goats (tier 4 animals!). I don't wanna do that when I can just as well use up any old combination of tier 1 animals. I thought it looked at tiers first and then the amount of each? Is this just a bug where all those other animals don't get recognized as farm animals?
I'll have to take a look at our docs, but I believe it goes by Quantity, then Tier if there is a tie. If there is a tie all the way down, we roll a dice.
Alright, well that's not what seems to be happening in mine. I have 3 goats and 4 sheep. So by quantity, the first three should be pigs (9-3=6) then it's a three-way tie between a pig, a horse and a bull, so those three should follow some random order. Now 6 of the 8 animals have been chosen and the next one is another three-way tie between a pig, a bull and a horse (all now have 5 left). Two of those are randomly added, filling all 8 slots without ever even considering one of my 3 goats or 4 sheep. Maybe my maths is off here, but going by the rules you stated, this outcome with all these tier 4 animals is not what should be happening. It would be much easier if you could just pick the animal yourself.
OK, so I downloaded the update yesterday. I started with ~850u, $2.2B coins, and land at 525 (using around 420). I have upgraded my heart for 120u, bought tons of decor to get back to 50%, and got rid of all my old housing for Shiny Towers. I also completed most of the gene missions (I still need Hitch Hiker). To complete those missions, I spent a lot of money of the $4M instant surprises to bulk up on animals. I also bought around 30 casino spins. I also got 4 Manor of Speaking and 1 Precarious Heights. If I could do it over, I wouldn't have spent the money on casino spins until I had more level 5 animals (since you can get more of them from casino spins). I also wouldn't have blown all that u on decor, since I got 3 silver and 2 bronze plazas from the casino. I now have 176/210 people, 460/525 land, 364u and $1.6B.
Old (pre update) jobs were added to old (original) buildings right? I mean I think so but I sort of feel like I am going crazy cuz I could have sworn all my buildings were full!
Well I think something is a miss. Stuck at 171 people and can't unlock either the sports star gene or musician gene. Sports star requires bucaneer job (which i have yet to be able to get) and I have yet to get a bat or dodo for musician Can't skip either on them either. So how can I get a gene which appears to require a gene from another?? (Doubt musician would open bucaneer - doesn't seem likely!) Been trying at animal shelter to get animals, and like the hearts, hardly gives animals any more. So just peachy..stuck until I get a bat and dodo.
The buccaneer is part of the original 150 clones. Check your tavern if you really don't have it yet. Spoiler Buccaneer = Captain + Explorer btw
I have a question for ivan or anyone who knows. If let's say I have one dragon and I used it to complete a mission. So now I have no dragons. Will dragon still then, show up at the casino spin?
