Ivan has stated before that it doesn't really have a point except as a way for people who really, REALLY want it without using the casino. The casino is where you're meant to get all the astroglass stuff but they're in the missions so that if you're really unlucky you have a way of actually getting them.
I am at level 2 so I could get to the Gene Pool, but that didn't unlock the Bureaucrat either. At this point I will just wait for someone (Ivan!) to confirm how to get him in a new game. I really can't progress until then.
I started to record the rewards for surprises with golden harts last night, after reading you might get them by filling a hart with 2 people that actually produce a new job when spliced. This seems to work, although I do have a few combinations that would warrant a golden hart but actually don't. (Now I'm thinking it's maybe the order in which the 2 are in a building, and that they have to be in the exact order that the resulting job is described in. Not sure though.) There seem to be different results in the surprises (only had about 30 so far, but will post the result at about 100 maybe), so I'm leaning toward the idea that maybe the probabilities for different tiers shift 1 spot. So tier 2 would get the probability for T1, T3 for T2 etc, and T1 for T5? I'm also looking if there's a difference between 1 or 2 golden harts, don't know if that will make a difference. Well, I don't know if this will amount to anything. Maybe it's for something that is yet to be implemented. So could just be wasting my time
Don't worry, you will get it randomly after a certain population. I also had been stucked on that for quite a while and I wrote a mail to developers, but it suddenly appeared several hours later. It was very strange according to @ezgoezit mentioned, I am very sure it was about 53k for instant surprises at level 5 in previous version, definitely not going to 250k. But I upgraded to level 9 before 1.3 for shiny towers, and 1.3 came out very soon. Seems LambdaMu has modified minimum with moving surprise to animal shelters? I remember 'something' was 250k at level 9 but not sure it was casino or animal shelter. Anyway if @ezgoezit is right then I get 500k casino at level 9. So I am very happy that luckily I stopped at level 11 that cost 769999 for a spin, still acceptable. Now I have a giant graveyard of glass decors and houses, almost removed all soil stuffs from my town. Anyway I won't expand any more because it raises incredibly fast from now on.
It was very easy to earn u from hearts in early levels in previous version. I believe it became much harder since the number bug. But meanwhile it offers you another chance in HQ to get almost infinite free u with minus dogs bug. My achievement crash bug has been fixed automatically somehow. So I cannot accelerate building and incoming for free any longer. Anyway it was funny and irony -- bugs make the difficulty of the game much more acceptable, but you still need millions times of clicking and slicing.
So what happens once you get 210? Because I just got all 210 and nothing happened. Kinda bummed me out.
We definitely are trying to get a "proper" ending for the game in. Take the lack of an ending as a sign that there's more content to come!
Well, couple of things I have to say to you guys: 1) I personally love the way the game is turning out for some of you guys with the Casino/Church strat and stuff. BUT the one thing I think we might change is for the Animal Shelter and Casino to eventually scale to its cap price if you managed to starve off expansion by going Casino/Church for a looong while. Still thinking about this. 2) Not sure whether I should reveal the unlock conditions for some of the special genes. Rest assured though: It's not level locked. You **can** currently complete the entire game with an extremely low level.
Does that mean there will not be further updates after the next one, if you are already working on the ending?
So this is my first post, and i just want to confirm that the golden/yellow hearts to my knowledge give better/animals you haven't collected yet http://imgur.com/X4kAgPF that was my best that ive gotten so far, and i got the very last animal i needed to complete my whole collection. but its not a 100% that you will get better ive had 6 golden hearts and still gotten teir 1 animals i have 6 of
Sorry if this has been covered before. I have three special genes left to unlock but in Missions I can only get two of them. The "skip" button is greyed out and I can't skip to the third option. I know (because previously I could skip) that I have everything I need to unlock the Foodie gene but I just can't access the mission. Any way to fix this please?
Mission system woes I really dislike the mission system, especially for discovering new genes. Right now I'm missing 3 specific animals, tier 1 and 2 tier 5 so that's about 2% per surprise to get an animal I need, so possibly hundreds of surprises I have to open before getting even one. With a surprise costing 4 millions, that's going to take weeks if not months of playing. And I can't even skip the missions, despite having at least 1 more that should be possible. I'm currently stuck on Spoiler Gastronomy and Ice and Fire, but according to the gene pool I still need to unlock Musician through a mission so why can't I skip one of those 2? Previously I always saw the next goal - I knew that I can have the next thing I want in a day or two, the wait time was never too long and most important - I could estimate it. Now I have no idea when I'll have the next gene, it could be today it could be next month, and that really puts me off playing the game.
You will definitely long for a better idea if released as that, trust me. It was a great game, and is a good game, keep it up.
I've got to imagine that the number of people attempting this is very small compared to the amount of overall players.
I agree, and I also think that it is a slooow strat and the people who pull it off deserve a reward. Maybe it could scale to 1/2 of the normal cap?
I did not receive a golden heart for Architect + Assistant and Sheriff + Landscaper. So it is still unclear what triggers the golden heart.
I'm in the same boat, I have two special gene missions that I can't skip and no way to know if/when I can get the required animals. For the first time since this game was released I think I'm going to stop playing. There's always the option of paying 100u for those genes but that's too much, I don't even have 100u cause I spent all my u on other gene missions. I felt I always had motivation to stick it out and keep playing, that I'd eventually reach the next goal, but I don't feel that way any more. Getting 100k coins or an animal I already have 6 of every time I try to buy a surprise doesn't help my motivation either. I understand they want to motivate you to purchase some u via IAP, but I don't want to pay for consumable items. I have paid for the coin doubler and would pay for other non-consumable IAP if they make sense.
