Does anyone know what the benefit is to upgrading your weapon? Also how long does it take to get a full load of Rigelians. I only just made the doughnut torture device on time and I want to get ahead as quickly as possible for this lot.

Upgrading your weapon means your tapped radius when tapping Rigelians increases (not very much but nails don't seem to be used for anything else).

A Rigelian will spawn every five minutes until you hit 50 Rigelians in your town, so you'll hit the maximum amount of Rigelians every 4 hours 5 minutes.

 

[Hellers]

Thank you sir. I did wonder how some people got the rewards so quickly. Now I see. I need to get tapping on my lunch breaks

Haha it's no issue

I only seem to get two Ray Guns for tapping Rigellians instead of the three Probes we used to get, it'll make getting the hover copter a bit of a challenge.

I really like Clockwork Orange Moe. He's off to look for a bit of ultra violence.

Anyone missing the THOH event item portion of their build menu?
Mine no longer appears to be showing up (on Android).
The only event items making an appearance in the generic menu are the Tentacle Tree and the Portal to Rigel 7. That's it.

 

[The Lamonster]

Glad to see that the Rigellian Hunting License applies to all three phases! Still getting two event items from squishing aliens in friends' towns.

That said, phase two prizes are dull. Alien bulldozer and hovercraft? Who was even asking for this? Bring on alien Burns in phase three!

 

[Hellers]

I like the look of the bulldozer. Not fussed about the chopper though.

Tonight I shot down a UFO and got 30 doughnuts. I was well chuffed.

Hey, I'm getting missile ammo again!

Hope the week without missiles won't cause me to not get enough crafting materials.

I wouldn't worry too much. About 75% of my missiles just result in bronze treat bags.

 

[Hellers]

My missiles tonight got me two bronze treat bags and 100 gummi bears. No complaints really.

 

[krae_man]

That's exactly what I'm worried about. That and the straight crafting items.

Something similar happened during easter. The currency was based on using gift baskets and they were broken preventing proper currency generation preventing a decent chance of collecting everything.

RAYGUN COLLECTION CALENDAR

 

[krae_man]

I somehow wasted a gun ammo. I had 5 but only shot down 4 spaceships.

Carefull using it.

 

[flamesofchaos]

Hey all if any one would like to add me to their Simpson Tapped out friends list, please add me, my username is flamesofchaos86 . I'm rather active with playing the game and I play once a day or every other day. My friends list in the game is rather empty so I don't mind any friend adds.

 

[Hellers]

Start adding some people from the first post in the thread. The list is a bit old now but a lot of us will friend you no problem.

 

[TeddyBoy]

From the list in the OP:

lukejspicer
massproduction
socialstrain
SuperHALFBEAST
SuperMayor99

Have not started the Halloween update, there may be a few more people who haven't but I don't have them all on my friends list. We can remove these guys from the list at least.

Can people please say if we're allowed to add their origin names to the OP?

 

[Hellers]

I think it's a good time for a fresh list if someone could update the OP.

My origin name is Mightyflub. I have plenty of space in my friends list and even more when I clearout the people who aren't playing any more. Feel free to add me.

I commented about the OP not being updated a few weeks back.
krae_man's got to get on top of that. <cracks whip>

 

[krae_man]

When I get home. Also new level update!

Huh, it didn't decrease the amount of xp I need to bonus level. In fact I think it went up. I need 1.5 million.

Decided to build the spooky house before the great pumpkin as I think it looks cooler.

Chocolate was the only overlapping crafting matetial and it also seems to be the hardest to get.

And of course I have no money since I just passed 10 mil and bought that last aspirational.

 

[UberTag]

I feel silly. I'm literally keeping a handful of characters off task JUST so aliens can hop on their faces while they walk around town.

To be specific, those characters are Snake, Skinner, Patty, Selma, Cletus, Luigi, Sea Captain and Willie.

Because what's the point of having a special event like this if you stick all of these guys on indoor tasks where that can't happen. And they don't have walking tasks where that can happen while they're making me money (like all of the other characters who can have aliens hop on their faces).

I've given up setting characters on tasks until I need money anyway. Takes like 10 minutes to put all the characters on tasks. Nuts to that.

I've still got plenty of land to buy and 28 million dollars in aspirational buildings/items to purchase so, needless to say, I've got to keep these minions earning their keep.

I was making so much progress towards the 50-foot Magnifying Glass, too... was over halfway there and everything. <sigh> <ponies up 1.2 million for the Classy Girls Strip Club>
FYI, Greta can join our legion of trick-or-treating tots to grind those treat bags even quicker (albeit she does it from the Kwik-E-Mart).

You need a blue house farm. I earn $350k/day.

I upgraded my Blue House farm to a more space-economical White House farm.
Still doesn't bring in nearly enough.

You need to expand it to two land squares wide and run it the length of the map(or slowly work your way up to that).

 

[jred2k]

I jumped back in to this game about 2 months ago after not having played it for a year so I'm constantly just making enough to buy unlocked buildings. I can't wait to hit the level cap so I can build up my reserves a bit.

 

[Exterminieren]

I've made a pledge to not spend any more actual money on donuts, and Greta Wolfcastle ain't tempting me back.

Which is more efficient to make money the fastest? Can't check my game here at work.

I have 5 mil to burn but need 20+mil for aspirational buildings. I wouldn't mind blowing the existing money if it'll get me to 20mil faster.

 

[UberTag]

Blue houses make $150 every 8 hours.
White houses make $200 every 12 hours.
Clearly blue houses are more profitable independently (in addition to costing less money up front).

However, you can fit 6 white houses into the same land area as 4 blue houses. So on a per capita basis, white houses will generate more income... especially if you're only hopping into town twice a day as I often am during the week. Which is the main reason I started with a blue farm first and then switched them out for whites afterwards.

White house has a slightly better $ per square inch of land ratio. White houses however are way way more expensive so it takes longer and more money to set up/start generating a profit.

I prefer blue because it works better for two taps a day. Once when I wake up and once in the evening. With 12 hours you have to remember to tap right away 12 hours after you wake up or your routine is messed up.

 

[The Lamonster]

So if I built 64 blue houses (which I don't even want to do because it's ugly as shit and "cheesing"), and tapped them 3 times a day, it would still take a little under a year to get 10 million cash.

Yeah...this game has an economy problem.

 

[krae_man]

Less once you factor in your multiplier.

Took me a little over a month and mine is about 300 houses I think.

Or you can buy 17 boatloads of donuts then convert them to cash!

Asparationals can be yours for $1660 real money each!

oh, good call about the multiplier. I think mine is around 90%.

Any multiplier item suggestions?


and lol yeah those donut-->cash prices are insane

Knight Boat because its Night Boat.

Other then that all my xp bonus items have come from mystery boxes or events.

 

[rcl66]

Curious how much real $$ people have spent on this. I want to support the game I've been playing a while now but the prices are just so insane I find it difficult. I'm all for supporting f2p but the cost just never makes sense to me in this game.

Same here. If you want to support the game with some of your money, go for the Golden Scratch-R tickets. I purchased two and won 50 (iirc) Donuts. The minimum you can win with a single ticket is 6 Donuts, max. 100.

Click on the Simpsons house. If you're at the last step of the quest, you'll get to answer a question. Get it right on the first try and you'll earn 10 Donuts. Correct answer:

Nowhere near getting enough ray guns with just 4 days remaining. I noticed we now only get 2 ray guns rather than the 3 probes we had with each thing last time. That has impacted things greatly
