    Got hit by another bug that I've seen at least once before (and had to start over because of it):

    Built another cottage, got my 3 workers, did some stuff, left the game, came back, the three available workers are gone, but my cottage is still there and the game won't let me build another until I reach the next level tier. Last time this happened to me it was v1.0 and I'd only played a little bit so I started over.

    Then v.1.01 came out, update wiped my game, so I started over.

    Now, I get hit by this same bug again. I either ignore it and am permanently 3 workers down or I start over again after almost getting as far as I did before the v1.01 update erased everything. No thanks.

    I'm deleting the game and moving on. It's a really novel way of doing match 3, there's some great ideas here, but the execution in the details is truly amateur hour stuff. I'll keep it in the watch list and maybe start up again after some updates, but there's no sense building a match 3 around a persistent and progressing setting if the game isn't actually maintaining it.

    Get a 10-string of either gold, diamond, apple or cow.

    I think it is getting an 8-string of bonus coins, when you hold down on a bonus coin it shows a trophy for doing an 8 of it.

    Tip: hold your finger for 2 sec on various tiles to check it (both in the fields and mine.)

    Well, I'm one of the lucky ones, finished the campaign yesterday and have a shiny new castle. Loved every minute (hour) of it!

    Noticed a couple more bugs during my time with the game.

    - I can't use 100 days worth of rations, no matter which order I choose them in. As soon as I hit the mine button the game crashes.
    - Only minor, but after completing the game, I can't buy the statue ornament. It still shows as a 1 on the main screen (as in it's a new thing to buy) but it's disappeared from the build screen; the last thing on the list is the Thuya bush (I already have the boat.)

    Bug: if you choose last tool, you can not see your first tool but you can see it if you will pick the most left tool you can see than see first one. Annoying in mine (gas). It's probably becouse of update where tools remember position on which tool did you choose last time

    Ps sorry for my english. I am sleeping already.

    I just finished the game and got my castle. I have to admit that it became a little boring in the end. All went so fast. With all these buildings I got tons of free tools and within minutes I could get all it needs to build the last three buildings. So the end came pretty fast. I am looking forward to updates or a new version, since the re-play value of the current game doesn't motivate me to start over again. Thanks for a great game, ArsThanea.

    Better description: you can not tap on arrow in tools panel enough times - it will get grayed out. I was really sleepy and I don't know if inybody (excluding me) got it.

    Sorry I didn't get it. We've fixed already bug with blocking tools (it will be live with new 1.02 update), but I don't know if you're describing something new or bug with tools which someone on this forum already rapported. Please send me PM on it.
    Thank you so much.

    Does anything happen if you get 8+ wolves in a row?

    Yes. Tip: hold your finger for 2 sec on every tile in mine and fields to find out interesting things.

    Been meaning to mention this, but having o click on the bread button 50 times is NOT FUN. We need either a fill all (maybe a double tap?) option or hold to add more.

    I guess I never really ran into this. By the time I had 50 supply mining operations, I was primarily using chickens and carrots, rather than bread.

    Holding a resource as a means of rapidly adding COULD be nice, though...

    Yes, we have it on the list to do, both for food and shop interface. . Just have to deal with more important things right now, and then focus on polishing minor elements. Two fingers works for me on iPad multitouch :)

    Wonderful game! It devoured a lot of my time over the past couple of weeks and now my three kids are totally into it.

    I just finished today but I might keep picking away at it to get my missing achievements. I can't get the "healthy diet" one because the game crashes when I use one of each kind of supply. I also can't get "death and taxes" obviously because the campaign is over. I saw others make mention of these so I know I'm repeating what's already been said.

    This might have been covered before (there are a lot of pages to read through!) but any tips for clearing the mine so there are only dirt tiles?

    One thing I noticed is that I lost my workers after getting the castle. I didn't hire anyone and when I started up again later they were gone.

    It's nearly impossible late in the game. I suppose if you keep using tools to clear everything else, you might get lucky eventually...

    That's what I suspected. Oh well. Thanks for verifying.

    thank you for kind words!

    We've already fixed this achievements and will be released with upcoming update 1.02

    Here is a hint:
    Use drill as it takes all stones and iron and leave nothing but dirt behind and combo it with transmuters and other tools. Buy a lot of various tools and combo them on tier 2 and 3 resources. Using drill + combo of different tools should lead you to victory. Of course as Royce said - it's much more easier at early stage of the game. Have fun!
