I looked through the game files to see if it listed the unlock criteria for the Dreamer, it doesn't But I did notice that the Dev's actually gave names to the special genes, well only male names and only for the original 4 special genes. The names are listed below, as well as some other things I noticed about special genes: Spoiler Dreamer - Joy Forall Salesman - Robb Freely Explorer - Lewis N. Clark Mutant - Erik Winter All other special genes just use the Mutant's name Erik Winter. I assume that they just used the Mutant as a template for making the other special genes. The special genes are categorized into different categories: FREE - Dreamer, Salesman, Explorer, Mutant, Bureaucrat SEASONAL - Romantic MISSION - Musician, Sports Star, Jack Frost, Foodie, Socialite, Strongman, Guru PREMIUM - Hitch Hiker There is one more special gene listed, but it's Job Type is "Secret" and it doesn't have a category and it has the old quote from the Mutant "I don't think this was planned" so it looks like it is either a place holder for a new gene or they copy pasted one to many templates for the new special genes.
Well, I just found out that the Bureaucrat gene "SHIPS FREE WITH UTOPIA VERSION 1.3" you can view this on the Bureaucrat card in the Gene Pool. I think it's funny that they used the app's system name "Utopia" instead of the app's display name "Pixel People".
Thanks for sharing the special gene names TRB4. Clever, as all of the others are. I am looking forward to the update if for no other reason than to restore the +5 Utopium in the heart/shelter surprises. Oh why couldn't the programmers err on the other side and have them popping up as +10u instead of +1u?! By the way, Chillingo/Lambda, nice work on the Spoiler Snow Globe structure. Love it. It's one of the few buildings I will duplicate.
Got Dreamer. My population was 8 when I got him. So now I have an Astro Church. I am at 26/30 land. No upgrades yet.
Good job! Technically since you have the church now, you can stay at level 1 forever! Yay! You'll just need to be patient while collecting utopium to buy land from the Church. Luckily you'll get enough utopium from trees to buy 4 land a day. Next thing you need is a Utopium HQ so that you can unlock the Socialite gene so you can get a Casino. Then you need to start getting astroglass items. Since all astroglass housing is land free, the best value at the Utopia HQ is the Manor of Speaking. Good luck and please share your progress. By the way, what is the 100u to coins exchange ratio at level 1?
Yea thats so weird. I remember your post awhile back and IIRC it said something along the lines of the timer resets after you collect 25u, but that doesn't seem like the case!
I am trying to get to the Gene Pool. I am hoping that will unlock the bureaucrat. Takes quite a bit of splicing to get there, though. I am at 34/34 land right now. 100u = 5,000,000
Yeah okay; I would definitely have to say my only gripe with the game so far is the auto selection of animals for the missions. I have Mythical Dilemma and it's choosing all of my cats every time I generate it; but I need a cat for the special missions and it's super annoying not being able to complete it. >_<
Well good news on that front. The ability to "mark" specific animals will come in 1.41. The "Special" requirement will also be removed as there is no need for it once the "marking" system is in.
Well since I can't get a dragon to save my life I can't complete two missions to unlock genes. Awesome.
Awesome! That's great to hear. The only other thing I can think of is that making trees only produce +10 coins instead of utopium after you reach 25 basically makes us stop tapping trees. Do you think perhaps you could flip it and make it produce +10000 coins? I think it would be fairly balanced as most new players won't have a huge amount of trees and would rarely tap so much to get the 25u; this way it's almost like a reward and tapping trees would still be useful after the 25u limit. Oh, and like everyone else has said; how does the 25u limit even work? Yesterday I ran over the limit, then at about 1am today I could get another 25, then ran out, now today at 11am I could get another 25?? Is it bugged or something at the moment?
@Ivan I was just wondering if the negative anims will be fixed in this upcoming patch (due this week I think?) or will it be the next one? I have -433 Asatians and -323 Lions. Its a love hate bug since I can do a few missions for "free", but I'd rather be able to finish missions the way their meant to be completed.
That will be fixed in 1.41. Not this week. Problem was before we left for GDC we had 2 content patches delivered. So we've actually fixed most of the reported bugs here now. But the patches are taking a looooooonnnnng time to clear submission now.
I've got a Little problem with sendingy mechanic on vacation. He won't leave his home but will appear in the hotel, too. I have now 4 mechanics and when I try to send them back to work they occupy places in my other homes... I think this is not ok, right?
@Ivan: Any plans to introduce other non consumable IAPs? I'd be interested in buying more to support future updates, but not a big fan of consumables. I would definitely buy a 1.99 permanent IAP that doubles the trees threshold of 25u a day for example. The possibility to recoup some of your losses when deleting building/decor could be nice. Not for the cash obviously, bu to get some u back from the decor I don't need anymore with the AG ones. Wait, whaaaat? You must be swimming in U Odd I had -1 Asatians but couldn't do the dog 6u mission until I had +1 again. I hope for you they reset to 0 the negative numbers lol
We have two non-consumable IAPs that we are testing out right now. Not sure whether both will make it into the final version. Couple of communication issues/presentational issues with them at the moment.
I'd like the option to pay (utopiam or in game cash) for a particular animal. I'm currently in desperate need of a walrus and a trout and am getting pretty tired of waiting for one to come along. I know I can buy out with utopium to get the gene but since I'm only missing one animal from each of the two genes I need it's not as tempting an option as it would be if I were missing loads. Maybe an option to buy one a day at 25u or something similar??
