You can find a lot more detailed post on the Daily Tasks HERE. 😉
FYI… If you did NOT complete a task from the prior day, it rolls over to be the FIRST task of the next day. You will lose the higher payout. So finish them BEFORE the reset or you will have it become the next day’s task.
How are your daily tasks coming along? Getting them done? Visiting Neighbors still going well? How are your New Gas Mask Materials counts coming along? Let us know.

Finally! My 5-11 daily tasks matched your posted daily tasks. First time since this event started.
I was late to play yesterday so was left with a 6 hour task which shifted to today, then I had three 4 hour tasks after that, I failed miserably.
Hrrrmmhmmm….
Doesn’t look like I’ll be able to craft the Gas ‘N Grub by the Act II deadline. :/
On a slightly positive note, with today’s first task being 4-hours, the first task for 5/12 should be also 4-hours long (as per my usual pattern). Therefore, I can still start tomorrow’s Task #1 at or just after midnight, get it outta the way before the sun comes up, and still get the “new” Act III currency as the prize/payment for it.
🙂
My two towns have been 6-2-4 tasks so far today. If it follows like the prior week (last two tasks seem to match Bunny’s, but the first might not), they’ll end with 4 hr task. Mine will total 16 hours also, but the 6-2 works much better for me than a 4-4 split would. Assuming I’m up at midnight. 😉
Hi Bunny!
I’m having issues since an update over the weekend. I tap to launch the app but it crashes immediately. Any suggestions? (iPhone)
Thanks!

Try uninstalling and reinstalling TSTO. Could be a bad file in the last update.
i’m less than 1000 DNA for the gas ‘n grub, i imagine i’ll get it today or tomorrow. FINALLY got the fertilizer for the market, now just gotta work on the sani john smoker thing, then i’ll be good. well, until whatever is in Act 3. after grinding for the marketplace, the sani john amounts don’t seem like anything at all!
Getting up in the middle of the night to play this game calls for real dedication. Not me. I have a “Hay Day farm” to run.
BTW: Thanks for the info on how to add friends. Nobody new yet but maybe soon. 🙂
Another 16-hour day… Just glad I was up at midnight to kick it off! I’ve missed completing the lady task took many times recently, but, unless I get sidetracked at the crucial points today, should be able to complete this one! But I think that, in general, 16 hours is kinda unreasonable on EA’s part.
Low and behold looks like I am in fact matching up with your schedule today. Woke up and my second task is 4 hours. We’ll see how the rest goes.
I’ve been using your top 5 since the beginning of this event, but now I’m going to change. I noticed that you have two high rollers (Quimby and WolfCastle) that can’t be sent on a Material earning task. These high rollers are important though, because they’re one of the 3 character groups that can earn DNA. DNA is hard to get and you mentioned that DNA would become even more important in the next act. Therefore I decided to search for another combo and I’ve found this one:
Comic Book Guy, Rod/Todd, WolfCastle (as before) and Judge Snyder, Legs/Louie/Snake. With these 5 characters, you have no more doubles and you can send Quimby on a DNA task. Grampa Abe also becomes available, but he can only earn fertilizer. It’s just a slight improvement, but it might be useful 🙂
I learned (much later than I wished) that it makes no sense to hold anyone out of doing tasks on the off chance that you might need them at a some point. Better to send everyone on tasks and, if you do need someone who’s on a task, just store the building they came with to free them up. The only downside is that it restarts that building’s clock, but, if money isn’t a big concern, that’s really no big deal.
The judge would a great replacement for civil servant.
I’ve also used the Princess and Rex for dirty work, too!
I’ve already made Snake my go-to-guy for tasks requiring a “criminal”. It’s been more out of convenience as, maybe after all the various times I had to store a building to quit a character’s task, Snake has popped to near the top of the rotation list.
Getting Quimby to help with DNA retrieval is important for me as I still need at least a 1000 strands for the Gas & Grub. Secondly, there is one particular item *rumored* to come out in Act 3 that I want as well! It will likely take DNA to craft as well, [Annoyed Grunt!]
First task was a four hour task hope it doesn’t match bunny’s 4 4 4 4 task day or it will be a long day.
Yay second task was 2 hours…:)
follow by 1 hr and 4 hours working on it now.
What bright spark at EA thought 4 x 4 hour tasks would be a good idea? That’s 16hrs out of 24 if you start just after midnight your time. I usually wake twice a night to reset my game but missed it today until 3.30am Aussie time, so haven’t started the 4th task as yet. Another 15 mins to go!
With the frustration of no land & tapping on things in the way due to crowding I’m so over this situation! I’ve been playing since the first week of the game, but I’m becoming very disenchanted with large buildings & no space.
My premium town is now mainly Freemium; As I just can’t fit anything in! The only Premium item I’ve bought recently was the Vesuvius Pizza. It had a small footprint & I squished up all my shops to squeeze it in. Someone at EA is a sadist for sure!
Hey, my first task lines up! That’s a shock.
Looks like this will be one day when I start at ~12am, and finally manage to match all four of Bunny’s posted task times!
😀👍
My “new day” just started, but so far I’m on par with your tasks, first one was 4 hour, debating if I want to bother staying up til 4am to start the next one, or when I wake up since I probably won’t get three more four hour tasks done by midnight if that is the case. (I tend to sleep in)
