The Simpsons Tapped Out

[disney4me2001]

Well, I just had to spend nearly all my fertilizer today upgrading my Monsanto Research Center with the new update. I'm really confused with where we're going on this update.

 

I agree...I'm upgrading my research center to unlock the extra jobs and payouts, but I have yet to craft anything, and now I'm nowhere near getting the Farmers Market!

 

^ & ^^ That doesn't make sense though. The more you upgrade the main building, the faster you earn fertilizer and corn. Yes, you have to spend a lot to get there, but its comes back faster then if you didn't do it.

 

Yep, this is how I understand it, and it should work! Just seems to be moving at a glacial pace right now though in terms of getting enough fertilizer, corn, and now DNA to craft things.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I am at level 15 headed to 16. Level 16 adds more characters at do work but their tasks only adds DNA stuff instead of more Fertilizer. As it is now, I play every 60 minutes and I'm generating a lot of stuff. I do keep spending on the building upgrade, but then I just earn more even faster.

Level 17 upgrade will increase fertilizer payouts. I am tapped out of it now, but it only took me one day to get enough fertilizer to go from level 15 to 16. So if my calculations are correct, it should only take a week to get the farmer's market now, the way I am playing.

 

Should have another prison by tomorrow morning, if not tonight.

Good to know, thanks!

[OldJJman]

I've been getting the dreaded "cannot connect to server" screen for the last hour or so. Anyone else having problems?

[jray21]

It's working fine for me.

[SharkTums]

Working for me. Do we know should we also be upgrading the spray now too?!?!

[OldJJman]

Working for me. Do we know should we also be upgrading the spray now too?!?!

 

Mine came back after about 1.5hrs. As far as the spray - dunno. Right now it seems a waste, at least until the monsaro is topped out again. I'll do some looking.

[Guy T. Koepp]

The spray? What about the spray? I have no spray? I mean, except for squirting. But that has nothing to do with the game. Well... ...depends on the game. But not the Simpsons.

[jbottgen]

Upgrade the spray. Not only does it create a bigger blast radius, it also increases the payoff amount. And it just uses corn and dna

[chadster]

I stopped upgrading my building right before the add DNA character point, meh to DNA. The spray on the other hand has come in handy. I did read where the Bob want a be's should be paying 5 gas masks but some glitch occurs after you get prize 3 and you get relegated to just 3 gas masks. Allegedly they are working on a solution.

 

I'm lacking about 7k fertilizer before the farmers market, ugh.

[chadster]

Wow, so the upgrades on the spray have really been paying off. In less than 24 hours I've managed to increase my fertilizer count by 2500 and now only 4k from getting the farmers market. Woot.

[Godwyn]

I finally got enough fertilizer to build the market!

[jray21]

I found this recommendation for upgrading the research center and spray. It says it's not really recommended to upgrade the research center past level 19, and the spray past level 15.

[SharkTums]

^Thanks Joey, that's exactly the kind of thing I was wondering about.

[chadster]

Yippee! Crafted the farmers market! Now I get to wait for the 24hr build time. :/

 

I've got my spray at level 14, makes a huge difference in how fast fertilizer and whatnot piles up. Now it's time to collect DNA.

Good to know, I'll stop upgrading them. I'm at level 22 on the building and 17 on the spray.

[jbottgen]

Finally got the Farmers Market yesterday. Now working on the John Smoker and gas station.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

So, there was an update today, and I am basically going to ignore it completely until I craft items I want/need. But, because I have been at the suggested upgrade cap for nearly a week, I'm making quick work of it!

[chadster]

Yeah, Brockman has to be free to start it, but he's one of the main DNA earners. Slaughterhosue will set you back 1.2 million and comes with Dora.

 

So I'm with you, either going to slow play the update and save it for when there is nothing else going on, or pass on it completely until nothing else is going on.

 

The upgrades though really pile on the goodies, just too bad they hand out fertilizer on what seems to be an 8 to 1 ratio to DNA.

[OldJJman]

Ok. I've unlocked Sideshow Bob and Dr. Robert. Slaughterhouse is being built, and Brockman is on his first task.

 

Once you've unlocked Dr. Robert, the usual 3000 gas masks for donuts returns. Time to start crafting the remaining stuff.

[jbottgen]

I will have Bob tonight, and Dr. Robert soon after. Want to get the port-a-john smoker, but that might have to wait.

[chadster]

That port-a-john is sexy looking

[chadster]

Is it me, or do these 45 day quests get old?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I don't mind them too much really. Mu biggest issue is that I am, running out of space. I have bought all the land available and am trying to rearrange stuff without losing houses. I hope they add more land soon!
