Best floor for golden ticket I just won a golden ticket from the lottery. So is the soda brewery the best floor to put your golden ticket in? Or is there a better one. How can you tell?
Friend links are working again in iOS. Bewdy mate. Happy 4th of July all round for our Yankee friends
Has anyone else experienced a bug where you lose all your stock? The first time it happened was when I updated and I didn't think much of it when I opened the game and all my floors were dark. I just thought I lost the stock in the update. But it just happened again. I closed the game for a minute to check the weather and when I went back, POOF 0 coins per minute and every floor was dark. The only thing that saves me is the fact that I just started rebuilding my tower today and the only floors I have stocked are my six gold floors so I was able to instantly restock for no coins.
Yeah, this is a bug that is proving really hard to track down. If anyone is able to CONSISTENTLY make it happen be sure to let me know
I haven't played this game for over a year since I basically "finished" it back then - all floors, all dream-jobbers with 9-ratings, but I see there's been something of a revival! So, quick questions, now that I'm like waaaay out of the loop. Are gold tickets really worth it? The cost is great, I mean, it took me a year or more to create this tower and a 4-ticket reward seems pretty small. As far as I can tell, the only benefit of having 99999 Bitizens is a slight increase in rent, yeah? And the only benefit of upgrading shops is free stock? Ultimately these are both just for coins which, while nice, can be counteracted with patience. Do I want to destroy my tower and start again with four golden floors and spend a year getting it back where it was, or just spend a year spending coins normally? As a suggestion for NimbleBit, I don't think each 50 floors should be weighted equally. The first 50 are much quicker to reach than it is to go from 50-100, so maybe that should be worth 2 tickets. Then 100-150 3 tickets, etc. Basically the further a player gets the more you're asking of them to prestige their tower and the reward should really match. Otherwise, what's the point of making a 100-floor tower when you could constantly just hit 50 and reset? In making that point, I am assuming that if I use them, I still keep them? So if I use four tickets and destroy a 100 floor tower, I'd start the next one with six rather than two? Has there been any content I've missed? I see there's a special roof available for a few days, has there been any other stuff like this? Anyway, really like the subtle changes, windows being windows was a lovely touch and I'm sure one that wasn't there last time I played! Sorry if I've misunderstood anything, only been back in for a few days.
Just had another bug pop up. When I get the notification for a holiday mission and touch it, it just disappears, no chance to do the mission. It was working fine this morning when the missions went live. The regular missions have not been affected. I tried to close and reopen the app and then turn my device off and on. All I got was stock loss on my non gold floors ( the gold floors were fine this time).
Absolutely. This has affected me as well always when I exit the program, sometimes when I just close it to get mail or use another app. It does NOT happen if the device goes to sleep while the app is open. Playing on Apple 6 device using latest update of iOS & game. Have Cloud Backup enabled. When it happened last night I had merely closed the app for a short time. When I returned, most of the level 3 floors were empty but I'm not sure that the level 4 floors were affected at all or as much. Maybe number of tiers stocked may have something to do with it as well. These are only guesses on my part. FWIW, I don't lose floor levels or lobby VIPs. Not sure about coins/bux (<--should if game thinks I haven't bought stock). Should have taken screen shots! Glad someone at NB is aware of this for it makes changing from one device to another (or even one app to another) a dispiriting experience. Meanwhile, I've updated some, not all, floors to level 4 to see if my theory holds true. Since I use my iPad & iPhone for more than just game-playing, it's bound to be tested soon. p.s. Love the whimsy of the hotdog-costumed bitizen mission.
So you were noticing this when the app was simply going into the background and coming back without seeing the Tiny Tower loading screen? I have a theory that it affects lower level floors more because it might be an inaccuracy in calculating the number of sales on small amounts of stock in very short amounts of time. If this is true you would still be getting the coins for all the stock that is instantly "sold". Perhaps you could look at the amount of coins given when you come back to missing stock and see if it seems higher than normal? I know we've all trained ourselves to ignore the "You've earned xxxx coins" dialog by now!
I don't think I got the dialogue box when I reopened the game but the first time it happened I definitely got ~50k coins, the last couple of times I had a lot coins when I exited so I didn't notice.
Happened to me several times as well. In my case it happens when i start rebuild and upgrade a copule of floors to golden tickets and stock them. If all of you have the same after upgrading, my theoy is first time you upgrade a floor it ignores new stock values and pretend its a level 1 floor and sell stock in a short time. But if you reopen the app in a really short time it shall be somethin else. In my case i reopen after a while.
Its a different way of playing. For me, I decided to keep going but I restarted with only 196 floors, for some reason it restored an older tower but I don't mind as I get to play a bit more. I also have a second tower where I play the golden tickets game but I'm preferring the continuation of my big tower. Almost at 25 floors on my second but I started out badly so not progressing as quickl, also on a slow phone and the elevator speed is slow!!
It did not show the TT loading screen. This happened when I closed (but did not exit the program). I didn't notice the coin count as you so aptly noted, few people do. This is also why quite a while ago in this thread I asked how often the game was backed up but no one answered. With TTV I could close or exit the game & it would be identical on the 2nd device. This was not the case here. For me, this is hardly a new problem. Oh, & jmac, NOW the Independence Day missions disappear the instant I tap on them. This was not true when I wrote my earlier post. Yesterday sometime they just stopped working. Good luck NB in swatting this bug.
Item stocks After some work and big help of vip privilage of select floor type, i got a spreadsheet of each floor's lvl 1 and lvl 10 item stock. Didnt bother with the rest because it would cost too much bux and this data enough to decide what to build. Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you cant access or find any mistakes. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12yvdtTi4aH5BKwY5-4GziHln1sq_6RwxciSd9TGiTno/edit?usp=sharing
Tiny Tower: 5th Anniversary Edition (by NimbleBit) Thks a lot Huttican, great work \o/ Merci beaucoup
The strange thing with me is my main tower (code 5S96) has this bug, but my feeder tower (code VC6N) doesn't. Both towers are version 3.1.3. The only difference is my main tower is VIP and my feeder isn't. Oh well time for a holiday weekend with my family, won't be playing much till I get home Tuesday.
In one of bitizens bitbook posts, the joke missed the mark due to the wrong date, I think. Should be 1776 instead of 1976 perhaps?
