    With the hotel, I've got a firefighter stuck there, unable to return to her job. Is this a known bug? Caused, I guess, but the firestation requiring 2 firefighters?

    Known bug. Send the other firefighter on vacation too and that should fix it.

    I don't really see the point of missions where the player doesn't have any control whatsoever over finishing them, besides pressing hearts to the point you want to delete the game. These aren't missions, they're lottery dependant obstacles -_-

    Everything else is still great though, although it sucks that I'm not able to progress.

    I wish we can trade animals. I'm still short a trout and a stag for the Ice and Fire mission.

    I think I need to start over as trying to get 25u from 3 trees is very difficult. I may need to spend some of my initial u and land on additional trees.

    I have made an interesting observation. I have filled the heart meter up 12 times now and only gotten animals (4 x T1, 6 x T2, 1 x T4, 1 x T5). Maybe that is all you can get in the early levels or it could be a coincidence (though I doubt it).

    I am also able to get golden hearts very easily. I have had up to 5 sometimes. Still can't tell what they are for, though.

    I imagine that it also really hurts that getting u from surprises is so brutal at the moment. Might work better post 1.41 when 2u and 5u rewards are restored.

    Yep, too bad, I'm literally swimming with trouts and running along stags!

    Funny thing is I don't have cats, dogs anymore. Almost all my tier 1,2,3 non special animals have been turned into U lasagnas or coined beef :D
    I've been waiting for Alsatian dogs for 2 days!
    Tbh, the dropout difference between the animals tiers is not really significant now.

    This may take some trial and error. I deleted the game and started over, but got the Explorer as my first random gene (again after having a population of 8).

    Completely agree with this one ! I was about to suggest it myself.

    I've always bought non-consumable IAP in games I appreciate, because the rewards are unique.
    But I really don't like to pay real money for something that you can get inside the game with some patience. 2$ for 50U is nice for beginners, but once you reach mid to end game, it's not worth it.

    Anyway, I would love to support the developers more ! :)

    So I've reached this point where I have no new jobs I can create, and in the missions screen there are two gene missions available, neither are skippable, and they require particular animals that I don't have. What are my options here if I want to unlock new jobs? Do I have to just keep filling hearts or buying surprises from the animal hospital til I manage to receive the animal I need, or bypass the mission for 100u?

    That seems like such a long shot. Hoping to get that one animal out of the 100 different ones... I don't think I can continue to play this game any more, unless I'm missing something here.

    If they can't be skipped they're the last two. I'd say just keep after animals, combo of tapping hearts and spending cash on the animal shelter (NOT the casino!!!). You'll get them in time. Meanwhile don't burn yourself out - another content patch will be dropping any day now.

    Well, I must say I'm slightly reluctant to post this, since I don't hope it gets 'fixed' to an actual 24h cycle.

    But I thought it was 'common knowledge' since no questions about it were posted here (or at least I didn't see any as far as I read the posts).

    I figured out that the timer resets 16 hours after collecting your first utopium from a tree. So considering you sleep 8 hours at night, it adds up to 24 hours per cycle.

    It's been working quite precisely so far (even with daylight savings time last weekend, which had me fooled for an hour ;) )

    Hope this helps!

    What triggers the heart meter to first appear?

    I just restarted on a second device, and am going to try to be as methodical as possible with what I splice and build. I dont want to make any "bad" decisions, so before I start looking on my own for the answer by splicing and building, does anyone know what needs to be done on game start to first make the heart meter appear? Does the animal shelter need to be built? Does my population need to reach a certain level? I have no heart meter at all displayed right now...

    Thanks in advance for the advice!

    My request for a special, unique IAP, is a powerplant building that, for a $0.99 upgrade fee, will give you the effect of "tapping it will taps all other buildings that need to be tapped."

    So tired of tapping building every few minutes.

    Don't mind, at all, the hearts or trees, but would love to pay to avoid not having to tap every single building.

    Accidentally Expanded

    Just in case anyone is in a similar situation. I decided to restart and take the route of increasing land via the church donation method as opposed to expending. I have been at level three for a few days. 500k to spin at the Casino and 250k for a surprise at the Animal Shelter. I accidentally expanded to level four earlier and the spin and surprise are still respectively at 500k and 250k.

    How did you get the Bureaucrat? I am still at level 1 just collecting u and coins until I figure that out. I am guessing that it appears with the Gene Pool, but it is only a guess.

    Yea. I actually would like to suggest that the power plant itself is $1, and has a refresh rate of about an hour? And then I was also thinking that instead of power plants refreshing the buildings thenselves, they refresh power boxes/poles that cost a few u to make, and these boxes or poles will in turn power up a 5x5 grid or something.

    Just a little more interesting than simply a power plant refreshing everything. And I think it could make for cool designs.

    I've just seen (and skipped) the mission for the astroglass plaza - it seems very overpriced at 100u plus some animals. For 100u you could pay for 10x church land expansions (assuming you don't want to level up) and 10x Supereme Font giving you 20 spirit - I can't see the point of the astroglass plaza mission at the cost it currently is.

    I got it through normal game play at third level while working towards Animal Shelter.
