    Been playing this game for 4-5 days now and am completely addicted. It's 3am and I still can't stop playing lol. Got to floor 27 at the moment, not higher than that mainly because I've been demolishing floors and rebuilding them because I haven't been getting the stores I want lol. Anyway, my question to you guys is... How rare is the 'Private Eye' service floor to get? Looking at its stats the 3rd stocking item is 15,000 stock which could be 30,000 with 3 dream jobbers. I already have 2 dream jobbers for this but just feel 'Private Eye' won't come up in my gameplay unfortunately. How many of you have it?

    Oh and feel free to add me - Cloverfield_33

    Is there any way to set a floor's name back to default?

    My mates got in and terrorized my tower, it was brutal. Everyone is dead.

    1.For notification that a floor needs stocking. Tedious to have to keep inspecting 80+ floors so often.

    2. To be able to actually see the amount of gold earned when a floor is fully stocked. Shouldn't have to squint --- and squint fast at that --- to get this basic information.

    Hope the devs will consider both adjustments which have been mentioned by a number of players. Willya, huh?

    Demand

    Here is a question for you stat junkies.

    Given that having more of one type of business reduces demand in that type, would that mean that having more food businesses reduce the speed at which stock at those types get depleted? and then would that mean that it would actually drive more sales to the other types?

    Could make for a different type of tactic for instance if i was someone that actually liked food types for the quick triple stock bonus i could keep adding more of the other types so that my food types would sellout faster.

    I don't think it will increase how fast your food sells out, that will still sell same. It is only the other shops that will sell slower.

    Assuming they are all at 100% to start with adding another shop of a different type doesn't increase a shop that is already at 100%. But it does increase shops that are lower that 100% until you equalize.

    I'm not sure that it's rare, but it won't be available until your tower is a certain height (nobody knows what height this is) so you probably won't get one for a while.

    Thought this is random. I got 'high level' businesses like a doctor's office, museum and dentist when i was around 40+ floors up. Plus i got the Mapple Store as my second retail business.

    It's random, but it's random from an ever increasing pool of choices.

    these numbers are just for demonstration, other than the one example from someone who only built one type of businesses and hit a "there are no more stores of this type available" error message, someone would have to do a lot of tedious experimentation to figure out the exact answers

    So, say when your tower is less than 21 floors, there's 12 different businesses in each category the game picks from when you build a floor. Once you reach 31 floors, 2 more stores from each category enter the pool. At 41 floors, it's 16 stores from each category, at 51 floors it's 18 stores from each category, and so on and so until you're picking from all possible stores.

    They skewed the "higher" level stores to the higher floor pools, but there's some right in that initial pool as well.

    I also believe it is random. I got the Mapple store (second best retail store) at floor 18 and the cyber cafe (best recreation store) at floor 23. Hopefully I'll get it soon :)

    No. I have had it for many weeks, now. I still do not like it. The brakes need fixing.

    Let other people have their opinions, Hannum.

    I am still getting startup crashes like crazy on my 2nd gen Touch. Usually takes 7-10 tries to get the game to load. I do have 78 floors right now, but that is the point of the game.:(

    Same here, I'm on an iPT and loading this game is completely random. Sometimes it'll take 5 tries, other times it'll load on the first.

    Do you have a large number of floors? Rebooting the device might free up some memory and alleviate the crashing.
