    congrats man... i am still grinding out slowly. this is one of the game i definitely play everyday at least once or twice when energy is up as well as completing the daily treat. Really love this game. I dont often buy something from IAP in freemium games until i play it for awhile and feel that it is worth to go for. This is one and the first game that I basically bought things after 1 - 2 play thru. :D Now with what you said I am considering opening up the remaining factories :p

    I have 3 factories, which is enough for the changes introduced in this last update. I have them working full-time, and when a task finishes I set another and so on.

    I think the fine-tuning is going quite well. The trade center tuning, which shows trades 10 at a time, is a really nice update. The game doesn't lag any more there. I was finally able to put order in my trade requests. I had hundreds from the last two weeks. Now it's finally clean again.

    Video ads availability seems to be fixed. I get a Sim City video 4-5 times and then no more videos are available. When I enter the game again, I have more videos to watch. The weird thing is that it's always Sim City the video available. I've had some crashes when watching (or trying to) the videos.

    I think that as things settle internally (trade caches and video caches clean out, etc.) it will be less bound to crash. Btw, when I talk about crashes, I always refer to them on my 4S, which is the lowest spec IMO. I'm pretty sure that only 512MB RAM is the reason why I experience crashes. On my iPad 3 (1GB RAM) no crashes occur whatsoever, videos update correctly, etc.

    The only question left unanswered for me is... Why 8 batteries and not 10? :D

    Well, just keep trying :D I've recycled many objects and I'm trying to max out the ultimate card for Demolition Dan: the one which increases grenades per crate and grenade crates in one single card.

    Just wondering if roofdog is going to add chest bonuses on cards now they have introduced them (chests) into the game.
    I was about to start farming them but wanted to see if the will do it

    For the moment, only the gears and some characters can alter the chests content.

    talf is one of the developers, and so am I.

    There are no plans for chest-related cards at the moment.

    I finally understood the chests thingie. I've equipped some kind of chest modifier which gives chances of finding an extra item in the chests. I think that modifier, along with the XX% extra chests modifier, offers a lot of chests to farm objects. That's my opinion though.

    One strategy is to max out the "2 in 1" ultra rare cards. I'm maxing out the one that increases grenade crates and number of grenades per crate. That way I'll be able to equip the 20% extra duration of pick too, to get further down and see if I reach the center of the Earth :D

    I rather find rarer gear in chests than get 2 for 1 and always get rubbish gear
    However with the character for rarer gear i did 1 run used probably 20 keys and never got 1 gold piece of gear which is disappointing. I also had modidier for 9% rarer gear.

    I dont see how maxing out your rare cards will be efit what i want to achieve - het rare gear.

    Ive nearly essentially got all the stars in the game as well using another strategy which is.working very nicely.

    Really enjoying the second one! Happy it came out today. Distracting me from counting the minutes down till tomorrow at 11. (DH5)

    I find it a bit hard to read the cards description on my iPhone 6. Especially when I'm customizing my load out there's no way to maximize card size to see the lettering. How do you guys feel about this? In most games you can hold your finger down on the card and it'll show big screen.

    I do enjoy all the collectables / gear & cards. Reminds me of that dungeon game ( card system wise ) where you have 3 random perks when adventuring. It's neat.

    Bought the 1$ beginning pack to support devs.

    It's also hard to see the card text on the "get ready!" Screen. Could yall maybe bold the text / increase the size a bit. That would be awesome! Sorry for double post.

    Feel free to add me!

    The fact that they even thought of this many currencies, timers, and in app purchases is impressive. Too bad, because the game would be fun without all of that.

    Well, I for once find it very enjoyable even though it's a F2P game. I think the currencies are very well balanced and they've been fine tuned in the soft-launch. I bought the energy increase to 8, and I'm having A LOT of fun. I didn't purchase anything else.

    Energy-wise, it's not until level 40-45 that you have to stop playing because you run out of energy. By then, the addictive hype will have possibly run out. Each time you increase level, the energy meter resets.

    Sure, gems could come at a higher rate, but they come in quite steadily, slow but steady. I think I've earned around 150-200 gems quite easily. Now, I get gems through the daily bonus dig, by opening chests with keys and when an update is made available, through the missions of the special mine (Olympus atm).

    Of course, this is my opinion, but if we had 100k gems from the very beginning, they game would lose all the interest. It's like beginning to play a Pokemon game and getting all the Pokemons as soon as you press start.

    I'm addicted... I cannot stop playing!

    So even though you take 3 cards with you I've noticed you have a chance of spawning other cards? Like bats to help / super muscle ect?
