    Playing on iphone 7 plus, iOS 12.1.2

    So... minor report,

    - After my lake house was built, the waterway option doesn't immediately becomes available, had to restart app for it to show up under Path.

    - Some text using the new thinner font would reach the edge of the dialogue box, check lakehouse, nursery, probably just the label width being set to equate the box width.

    - Was the Hearts requirement ever 11? seem like an odd number.

    - Good to see its running at 60fps this time round compared to the old 30fps, lol.

    - Zoom sensitivity a little slippery, may want to add a little bit of gesture buffer. Also try to "ScaleToPoint" where Point is the center of the two touchPoint, UX.

    - Building sprite touch detection (as opposed to grid detection) will require pixel alpha testing, so I guess that'll be a tedious task, but will be worth it in terms of UX.

    Otherwise, I personally havent experience any crashes.

    Thank you Mayors! The Mothership wishes you fun and joy in your tiny corner of Utopia among the vast expanse of space.

    Thank you Mayor unexpect3rd! We will be looking into these issues.

    Other Mayors who experiences any difficulties may report them here as well, thank you!

    [Gentle reminder to restart the game if you experience any crashes, so that it may submit a crash report.]

    Hey,

    Game crashes when I try to place a playground. You get a weird noise instead of normal selection sound, and it crashes before the location acknowledgement pops up.

    Also, typo on town hall help #6. You hit m instead of comma I think.

    Really enjoying it!

    Thank you Mayors!

    We've identified that Martian, Venusian Flowerbeds and the Playground are erroneous in delivery. We have attempted diplomacy with the respective planetary customs to properly import their floral species, and the outlook is positive.

    We'll be looking into the problem of shrinking name cards as well. It seems to only be affecting the interface models related to iPhone X.

    Another possible bug: I can’t fill the vacant position for a farmer in the greenhouse. The only possible workplaces shown for the farmer are the farm and the farmer’s market.

    Investigations revealed that specific work permits for the following jobs: Painter, Farmer, Plumber, CSI, Geologist, Reporter, Director, and Historian have been held up and delayed. The Mothership anticipates that with some proper encouragement and incentives, the issue would be sorted out soon. [Thank you Mayor hvianna]

    As a result, certain buildings will be impossible to staff fully, but it does not affect the full collection of 150 jobs, or access to all available buildings in Utopia.

    Been away from the forums since the app died and thought I should try to return. Still been using the website though just not posting anything.

    Wondering with this version of the app, will game data be kept or wiped?

    I had an issue with game sound where I turned the sound on but then game was silent, it did start working after force closing the app though.

    I had another issue placing a resident to work they went somewhere? Not where I told them to go but sadly I can’t remember who it was and I also just placed a fishmonger in my farmers market but he’s the only person there now when it definitely had someone before that because that’s how I unlocked the building.

    *Edit* I also just had a crash when filling my last heart the game just crashed and when I opened it I was reset to 0 hearts and never got the pack for collecting all of them.

    Found a bug: game crashes when the top job slot is tapped in the Radio building

    So happy this game is back, I wasted so many hours on it back in the day!
