Hey there Monorailers!
Hopping on by to go over some main concerns I am seeing in the comments in regards to things going on now with Act 2 of the Monorail Event in our game.
Take a peek at all the issues below to see if it addresses the one you are going through.
“SMELLY” BUILDINGS CRASHING THE GAME
During this event you can dump garbage on your neighbors Buildings creating “stink lines” to fume up from their Building.
The issue arises when you go to try and clear the stench off your Building. For whatever reason it is causing Players games to crash. I still have not found a specific reason as to why this is happening, but there is a workaround for it.
If the Building is one you can store away into your Inventory, do it. Tap on the Movement Menu to go to the moving/storing screen and then tap on the Building and store it. Then exit out, go back in, and replace it. You will lose that Duct Tape and payout, but it is the main way to keep it from crashing your game.
Outside of that, you need to reach out to EA.
I CAN’T USE MY MATERIALS
This one is very common and we have been seeing it from Act 1. You are now earning Trash, Metal, and Plastics. Each one can be used to clear Projects off the Project Board.
If you haven’t been paying attention, you may have not noticed that those Projects rotate around on what they Require as well as what they Pay Out. I have found that if I clear small payouts, there are usually larger ones further behind them but still random when and where they pop up.
So if you have Material maxed out, just keep clearing those Projects until you get capped out and eventually the Materials will come back to being Required so you can use them.
CAPPED PROJECT BOARD
Speaking of caps, many questions on the Project Board Cap for this Act 2. I am still working through it and to FULLY test it out… we like to spend a few days to be sure on our games. So please hang in there while I go through and test it over a period of a few days to see what my games show me live in play.
Otherwise, the details I see show me that it SHOULD be this…
The cap is 7500, BUT there is a daily Cap too that it applies to. That cap did not start until today. So, staring on the 24th the cap will be 15,000. Then going forward…
24th- 15,000
25th- 22,500
26th- 30,000
27th- 37,500
And so on. Each day an extra 7500 added to the cap. So if you are a bit under the prior day you have a bit more wiggle room the next day. If you are OVER the day before, you will have less room.
Remember, these caps are ONLY for the Project Boards. You can still get bonuses, collect Duct Tape from Neighbors, and from everywhere else no problem. ONLY PROJECT BOARDS ARE LIMITED.
Again, it will take a few days of actually testing this out and ONLY the Project Board Payouts. No bonuses, friend taps, possums, etc.
MY GAME IS CONSTANTLY CRASHING
I covered this in another post, but will put it here again…
Memory Drain. It is a big issue in highly outside animated Events. This is why keeping 4500 items in game helps among other things. Help your device when this hits really hard, like this Event.
- Disable Monorail. Pull the track pieces away from the station to prevent it from moving around your game or when Neighbors Visit.
- Players stating moving Project Board to an isolated area is helping with crashing too. You may want to try it.
- Store the Building with the “stink” on it if it’s crashing (see above)
- If this happens while Neighbor tapping… see if it is ONE Neighbor crashing or specific ones, they may be having issues getting in too. So “hide” them and don’t visit them until they can fix it or replace them if concerned about your game play.
- Store NPC’S and any other animated items not in use.
- Don’t push the 4500 limit. If you do, expect the game to slow and more “texture” glitches to name a few things
- Keep non essential Characters on indoor tasks or store them in your inventory.
- Play ONLY this App. In other words kill all other Apps that are running BEFORE launching this one. Anything in the background while this is going (Facebook, SnapChat, Twitter, etc) will take Memory away from the app as they fight over the availability.
- Give it space, LOTS of space. Like 2-3GB of empty space on your device. Insane I know, but highly active Events take a lot and so do the game files.
- Run on highest stable internet connection as possible. WiFi usually works best, and also doesn’t wipe out your Data Plan
Remember, if you are having trouble getting in your game… so might your neighbors. Memory Drain impacts more than just you. So help you and your Neighbors or they may not visit if your town crashes their game each time.
Outside of that. EA knows how big this one is pulling on the Memory Drain. Hopefully they can make some cuts to help combat it too. Until then, try the tips to see if it helps. In the meantime, keep reporting to EA the Crash Issues.
CAN’T STORE SPRINGFIELD HEIGHTS BUILDINGS
This is still in effect. You still can’t store them. Period. No indication when this will change. I am sure we will post on it when it does, so in the meantime… still can’t store them and still not date when you can. 😉
CAN I JOIN TERMINALS?
Right now we currently have THREE total Terminals in the game (including Premium Krusty). Many of you wonder what would happen with them if you connect them all to one track. To my personal disappointment, no crashing involved. BOO! Lol. But seriously, you essentially then see just one Monorail running the line.
So keep this in mind. You can have 2- 3 running or just one.
DISAPPEARING BUILDINGS/CHARACTERS
A very odd one is creeping in that I am seeing in the comments. Complete sections of the game just disappearing. All the Characters and Buildings from that area. Makes me wonder if it is linked to the Crashing and Lagging above and the games way of almost forcing items out of the game play area to combat it.
Either way, if a Character goes missing… check for their Building. If it’s in your game store it and then put it back to see if Character returns. Also check the Inventory Storage Character Tab.
For a missing Building, check Inventory Storage under the Buildings Tab.
If these steps do not help bring the Character and/or Buildings back, try other Basics. Even to a complete uninstall/reinstall. Overall, this does need to be reported to EA so they can track it and put a stop to it. So please reach out to them too.
MY GAME ROLLED BACK
This one comes and goes and only impacts a small amount of players. Essentially you progress in your game, but somehow when you return hours later… you are back to BEFORE you started. If this happens, note all the missing items and contact EA for support.
If you do not see a particular issue here, use our handy Search Tool in the Menu links. We may have already covered it in another post.

If you need to reach out to EA, here is the post.
There you have it. Other more detailed items we will cover in the usual breakdown individual posts, so keep an eye out for those.
Did these help to clear up your issue? Did you run into any of these? Tips to your fellow players that you used on the issue you would like to pass on? Let us know.

So it looks as though a few of you have had similar issues as I have. The only glitch before the update was game crashing between neighbors (a lot). After update, this is not fixed AND I am on level 56 with all characters but the tasks for both the monorail and Springfield Heights acts like I don’t have Mr. Burns, Skinner, Cletus, Moe, Marge, Brockman, Frink, and more. Which means I get less metal and less plastic (less Heights stuff too) even though I’ve already purchased the characters. Putting them in storage and back into play turns off half of my village buildings and it doesn’t matter anyway since when I get out and back in the game it resets to think that I don’t have those characters again. Even after I put them to work, it doesn’t give the earned points. Extremely frustrating. Reported it to EA. Hope they fix it soon.
I don’t think EA cares that this Game App is crashing constantly during Part Two, or
All Tappers would receive a “we’re sorry here’s 100 Donuts on us!”
This Game App wouldn’t have so many Glitches occur during an Event
I – like a lot of Long Time Tappers – waited so long for a Monorail in our Springfield …. only to grow disappointed by all the Glitches / Caps on Material Used (sorry EA, you started out positive this year but its becoming negative – please do something about it!)
I’m not sure why I seem to have such a low cap on duct tape. I was no where near the 15,000 cap (or whatever is supposed to be for today) and was stopped at only 7183 for today. I did read on this post that if you go over a cap it counts against the next day, but I haven’t earned anywhere near that much on any given day. I did get the 5000 for the daily bonus and several of the possums today, but that shouldn’t count against me should it? Is anyone else having this issue? My current total is 62,431.
I am getting around the 9500 mark. And the new update shows now that should be correct.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/08/27/app-store-update/
D’oh! I should have checked the site more thoroughly before posting. Thanks for replying.
i have one neighbor who had 4 cabins linked to front and back of his monorail. how do you increase no. of cabins? what is it based on? tracks or length of terminal?
? Do you mean the Rail Cars? They only increase in the middle and I am still seeing the trigger points on it. More tracks have to be added for sure.
Yup yup, that’s what i meant. lol.
okay so more tracks means more rail cars, not by length of terminal. something about longer trains moving around gives me a sense of zen. i’m weird.
It happens when you join 2 or more stations together, by themselves the stations the individual un joined ones have smaller “trains”…
That whole Game-crashing-when-I-clear-visiting-neighbor’s-stink bug was affecting me, too. The workaround suggested is okay, but the same neighbors keep coming back. Making the whole tuck away and replace routine a bit tedious. So, I suspected it was my Facebook neighbors causing this bug (privacy settings?). So I logged out of Facebook and just got my origins friends visiting me. Haven’t had a stink so bad that the game crashed yet.
Oh! I commented a few posts back about my characters disappearing. I’ve done a nuclear wipe on my world to unstuck everyone from their buildings and stop what ever was causing that glitch. Then after arranging my Springfield, everyone was back and operational. All except Lisa. I can’t store her house. So, I had to contact EA. they told me to uninstall and reinstall the game, while his game specialists just went to fix the game. After I was able to play again, they just stored the Simpson house. Once placed, Lisa was back! So back in business.
Also, is it just me or does the project board want a lot more metal than the plastic and garbage combined?
I’m so glad I read this today! I had my 5000 duct tape show up for my daily reward and then when I clicked collect it switched to the day 1. Since I read about that here just earlier today I knew to force quit and then reopen the game without touching the new daily pop up. Sure enough the 5000 had been awarded to me when I got back into the game and I got my package of tracks.
Just curious….if I leave a few critters (possums) un-tapped….will they remain in my game after monorail event ends?Also too bad they wont stay in a fenced area…would be cool to have the Spucklers raising possums!
Unlikely as those kinds of items are pulled when the Event is.
I know this has nothing to do about the monorail event but I have a problem with Homers Ice Cream Truck, I’m not sure when this changed but I can’t place it on roads anymore.
I know to place it on the road you have to put it on grass and then build the road underneath, this however dosent work anymore. I’ve tried restarting my game, trying different areas of springfield ect.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Tbh I wish I never moved it 🙁
Yup. As noted in the post I wrote about doing that feature, it is not as intended and EA can and probably will patch to avoid glitches and issues. Sorry
So after I had stored a lot of my buildings to make the game run more smoothly, which it did, I decided to give the monorail another chance…. which I clearly shouldn’t have 🙁 Both monorails worked for a bit, so I was quite pleased, but the next time I went to play the game, it was frozen… Completely frozen, so I can’t even disconnect the rails from the stations anymore (a trick that had worked before.)
Just a cautionary tale….
I’ve contacted EA and they’re working on it. When it’s done, I’ll get 15 donuts compensation. So a bit sad, but hoping for the best. I don’t think I’ll get all of act 2 prizes, since I will have missed some time. Anyway I don’t care as much about that: perhaps my phone is too old to have a working monorail? I just hope my town will come back in one piece…
I lost a few characters/buildings last night while I was trying to redesign my monorail track layout. Number One, Cletus, Nelson, Agnes, and Smithers at the very least, although I’m not sure if there are more because I’ve never really kept track of which characters I have as they’ve just always been there. Notably, all of the associated buildings are located in the same general area in my town. Sometimes the buildings appear to be there, even though the characters are nowhere to be found (not even in the town hall census), and sometimes they’re gone completely. If I try to make one of those characters do a Springfield Heights or Monorail task (e.g. Cletus’s task at the dump), I get a button next to the character saying “Get Now”, which lets me “buy” the building again, even if it’s already in my town. But when I try to place the building, the game tells me I don’t have enough resources and that I can purchase them for 0 donuts. So weird!
Anyway, I spent some time in a live chat with EA technical support last night, and my case has been escalated and I’m still waiting to see how it will be resolved. Hopefully there will be something soon, as I’m not sure if I would want to keep playing the game if things can just start disappearing randomly. I’ll post an update here when I hear back about a possible resolution.
Not a resolution (yet), but the “Get Now” button no longer appears next to the missing characters; instead, it says “Under Construction” underneath them. Hopefully this is a sign that a fix is on the way!
Find their associated buildings (Burn’s Mansion for another, etc), store it away, then place back down. He should show back up.
Had this happen to me. Don’t know why it does, but if Lisa is gone, you have to Talk to EA since you can’t store her house to get her back.
Same thing has happened to me. I was in the process of redesigning my monorail track and when I stored a section, an entire chunk of my town disappeared – buildings, characters associated with those buildings, decorations, didn’t matter if I had paid donuts for them or not. If I exit game and come back in, sometimes the missing buildings are there, but the characters are not. I tried everything (except contacting EA yet). I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled, checked town hall, get the same “get now” button for missing characters, etc. I looked in the store and all missing buildings/decorations/characters appear to need to be purchased again (even donut ones that I had already had), so I found the cheapest building – school/Skinner to try to re-buy it and when I tried to place it, I got a message that I don’t have enough resources to build it and can “do it now” for 0 donuts. If I do that, nothing happens.
Then, I tried storing each missing building when they were visible. When I replaced a building in my town, the character then appeared. But when I logged in this morning, I was back to the same issue.
Did the EA rep indicate that this was a known issue? Do you think they are working on a fix based on your conversation with them?
No, there was no indication that this is a known issue (at least at first – see the end of this comment for more). The rep just kept saying how strange it was (and also how sad it was at one point, haha – he or she was quite personable and easy to chat with).
It sounds like the exact same thing has happened to you. What seems to have worked for me is storing all of my track pieces, as I noticed that the monorail itself was acting glitchy – it was stopping and turning around after only traveling the length of a few track pieces, even though I had many more pieces connected properly. After that, I did the store/restore procedure with each of my affected buildings. So right now my monorail is just moving back and forth between the two terminals I have – in the words of Sebastian Cobb, it looks like “one of the crappiest trains ever built!”
I did get a followup from EA earlier today:
“This type of issue can often be resolved by taking the building to which the missing character belongs, placing it in your inventory, then placing the building back on your land. If you try this and it does not work, you may be looking at a bug that is currently affecting several members of the community. If that ends up being the case, the best you and I can do at that point is to wait for the next patch to be released which should fix it.”
For what it’s worth, I don’t think storing and restoring the buildings worked on its own, as before I stored the track pieces the problem was still occurring for me.
Sorry, this isn’t really related as such, but I have not been able to access my game since the event started, I have been contacting EA and now I have had a response. The technician said that my issue may be being caused by a corrupted save file, and that if I agree and provide a date, they can restore my game through a backup. I’m not sure if it is as it crashes immediately, not when I try to load my town, but perhaps it is. It must be worth a try at least. I have replied with some questions first, but has anyone else had this? My only concern really is about whether or not I will need to log in again with my account. Because I cannot remember my password, and the email address isn’t mine(I made a poor decision then because my address was linked to an old account). If I don’t need to log in, it should be fine. But otherwise it might be a problem. I think that even if I can get back in, I won’t be able to get much out of this event. I have missed part 1 and will likely be unable to complete everything for part 2, meaning I will miss lots of items and prizes that I would have really enjoyed, much more so than other events. :/ The only other option it seems would be to spend a lot of money on donuts which I’m not willing to do.
They’re doing a roll back. Yes I’ve done it before. Make sure you get back anything you lost in the time difference
As for logging back in… it all depends. Maybe they can help you out there too. Change email and password link.
I won’t have lost anything as I haven’t been able to get in, they said that I might be able to do it on a live chat, but I can’t get in to prove that I own both, it depends on what they ask. Did you have to log in with your account again, or was it logged in still? I haven’t been logged out since I logged in, but I don’t want to get locked out now. Thanks.
Can you at least see your account name? If so, provide that and go from there. You can also provide details of how the town looks, donut amounts, coin amounts, dates and times you played.
My account stays always logged in… til I uninstall.
Thanks for that! I definitely know the account name, I’m fairly confident on amounts but I can provide those details. Sorry, I’m just worried about losing my town because of a poor decision and some bugs. Hopefully I’ll hear back from them soon and they can sort this, I am mainly worried about having to log in and not being able to. Well thanks for the information, really helpful! Sorry, that sounds sarcastic now but it isn’t.
I get what you meant. 😉
I know I had lost an email I used originally and went through some steps to relink a new one. Just make sure it is one you can remember and access. 😉
If I can change it, I will change it to my email address. I’m only keeping the old account for now(at least) to be able to contact them. It was a very poor decision, but hopefully they can fix it. The password is the bit that annoys me, I have several different passwords for different things and can remember them all, only rarely do I forget them. I think I may have rushed it again and chosen something odd. Anyway, thanks for your help!
Sorry, posting a lot. One thing I didn’t think of, is that I could probably also use donut purchases. I have a complete list on Google Play which they could compare to my game history. One last thing, I would guess not sadly, but have you ever heard of anyone being gifted missed items, as it were? I contacted them from the start and they said that it was a known problem. I am only moving forwards now that I have contacted them, and that is assuming this fixes it. I was quite upset to have missed this event as this one seems a lot more appealing to me than others, and I would have had lots of time to play and earn things. Ultimately, I don’t want to lose any of the free items, but I really just want to get Monorail Homer and enough pieces for a proper track. I wouldn’t mind working for any of the items. But I don’t think I’ll get a chance to, I asked if there would be any way but they have never commented on it. I don’t mind the premium stuff, just the free stuff that I would have earned.
Always approach with kindness and be honest “I’ve been out so long and as you can see I’m a constant player, is there anyway at all you can assist me in getting those items I would have while I waited for you to correct the issue? Then go from there.
Oh and they usually wait until AFTER you’re all fixed up to address “compensation”, but most won’t offer (standard company practice anywhere). You’ll have to bring it up.
Yeah, thanks. I would feel kinda bad asking for them, I would be willing to pay a bit, but not what I have seen in the past. I don’t know if the problem is on my end or theirs then, but I was waiting for an update because I wasn’t aware that this might be the issue. It was more just because they would have been free, and they aren’t like the normal event prizes, a special character seems like a standard, but the rest are just pieces to build tracks, they are all pretty similar so I didn’t think it would be so much of a big thing. Anyway, thank you for all of your help, I really appreciate your advice and tips and the fact that you always respond as quickly as possible with lots of information. I am really grateful. 🙂
Oi Bunny🐰,
When I read the bit that says “you can have 2 or 3 monorails running”
I thought….. “she’s making work for herself”
because you’ll get a load of people trying to run 3 monorails on some crappy 6 year old phone …..
Then where do ya think they’re going to come to say, “my game keeps crashing, and now I can’t let my possums out, also I think my plastic recycling was finished but I can’t do any projects, now I’m not gonna get my daily bonus and my neighbours will delete me because I can’t visit and I still don’t know which way round my station steps go and I don’t know how to contact EA, and it’s all your fault, Bunny🐰!”
Except they’ll type it all in capitals 🙂
On a serious note, I’ve got neighbours with 3 stations, sensibly most are disconnected, but last night I noticed one who had got two systems running sort of parallel….it was like Monorail racing ™ 🙂
General advice for all readers,……your device maybe capable of running 3 monorail systems, but what about your neighbours?
You need to keep your game accessible to neighbours with smaller devices or risk missing out on visits and duct tape
🙂
Bunny, you are sooo handsomeeeeeee 🙂
Well alrighty then
Brilliant post. Answered a lot of questions i had with my game freezing and crashing quite regularly. Just one question though. Is there a away to find out how many items we have in play before needing to store them to prevent crashing or freezing?
Thanks heaps
Not til you get the pop up. Or… start tediously counting. 😉
I’ve been seeing the disappearing buildings bug and I think I have figured a few things out about it. It appears to be related to a previous disappearing items bug (search “tsto buildings disappearing” in Google, the first link should be to a tsto addict post on this from January), in that it is caused by overlapping items. For me it starts after placing a piece of track. Most of the buildings will disappear with some items still visible. Selecting a visible item, then canceling the move makes everything reappear but only temporarily.
Closing and reopening the game with the bug active caused a lot of my building to appear in the sales menu again, and even after fixing I had to store and replace a number of buildings to get my characters back. That happened the first time I triggered it. When I don’t close the game with this bug active but fix it right away, I don’t have this issue.
For me moving the last placed piece of track (sometimes two pieces) will usually fix it. It appears to occur in my game when a track piece is in a location with some combination of bridges, water and land all existing in its footprint. Most often it is the curved sections with their larger footprints that trigger this bug for me. Making the bridge a road or just adjusting the path of the track appears to be workarounds.
Mine happens for sure when I placed a curve on land/water/bridge.
My game loads and than freezes as soon as I get into it at the daily play screen, ea is no help mainly because it takes them at least two days to reply to me. Being behind on my game stresses me out. Has anyone found a fix to this yet?
Ask for a supervisor or Specialist and see if they can roll back your game to a save point to get back in. Just make sure they add back ALL you lose if you have to go that far.
I stored 8 of my upgraded Modern Mansions in the inventory and they went missing. Decorations are still there.
I have contacted EA and been emailed twice. They still don’t know what caused it and have yet to fix it. I just have to wait.
Seems I cannot unfriend other origin players now. . is this a new issue?
Not that I am aware of.
I’ve had that problem, a hard close usually clears it up
i can’t unfriend them either, i’ve heard some others had the same issue
Report it to EA please.
FYI just tried it in my game , 11.30am UK time and it is working for me .
My game just keeps freezing. Granted internet in my area is pretty bad but, I also decorate like crazy! So should storing decorations help? Do roads, pavement, or rivers affect this? I don’t want to store $ making items or charecters bc, I’m trying to save for the current level’s items. Thanks!😁
See all the fun helpful tips in this very post of storage. Roads don’t really matter.
I had already read the article b4 I asked. It only said if your game is crashing though. I store all the animated items not in use Like all those hottubs, Non-taskable charecters, & my fountains! I also, stored a bunch of parking spaces. It seems to have worked, no freezing since I did the deed! Thank you so much for all your hard work gathering this info & investigating issues in the game! You’re wonderful! BTW, IDK what that person above is thinking calling you handsome, really? You are a very beautiful girl though!😃
Is anyone else getting an extra daily play bonus on Day 5? So after collecting the duct tape, you immediately get the day 1 bonus.
Yeah, I did today. Get to the next Day 5 quicker, hopefully.
Yep, same here. Always happy with a bonus!!
Me too…
Yes – that seems to happen to me every time since this event started.
Ssshhhhh !
That’s right tell the world so EA can send a patch and stop it
😵 😱 😠 😬
That they’re capping our bonus time really gets my goat. Grr. Y’know that the game naturally caps itself with the 1-2 hour garbage collection times. I haven’t hit my cap today, still waiting on cans.
the daily limits are horrible. i wasn’t even able to hit my mark to get the item today. other than that i love the quest.
Here’s a tip – make sure you save a couple of “easy” projects untouched (or at least one) for the next day, so you can be sure to get at least the tasks you need to complete the daily tasks. For example, if there’s a project that only calls for garbage, I purposely will leave that project alone and work on others, then use the garbage task first thing the next morning. Using this strategy, I’ve never once missed getting the daily bonus.
This event requires a little bit of strategy – that’s all. It’s summertime hard to resist just completing everything you can as soon as you can, but that’s what I think you need to do to maximize your success.
Hope this helps! 🙂
Hi.
Don’t know if this is the correct place to ask but do you guys know why the event countdowns are different? I see that the event finishes September 28th but then also says 20d 13 hrs (at time of writing) which doesn’t make sense…….
Thanks for the website btw, always very helpful when an event comes along
Different items have expiration points in the game. There may also be additional items at the end. Like in Superheroes…we had a Bonus 4th Act… but it was isolated from the rest of the Event. Just pay attention to the area you are in and the expiration on that. Like a limited time donut item expiring in 4 days, Act 2 Expiring in 8+ days, etc. 😉
Damn, I was hoping act 3 would be longer as I’m on holiday for 2 weeks and miss all barring 2 days of it. Thanks for the clarity
Thank you Bunny for giving this detailed overview. Much appreciated!
😉
Thank you for this post. After wading through 378 comments (literally) last night, I was so frustrated that that number could have been whittled down to about 60 if people would only take the time to read your responses to other comments. It was especially frustrating because my Wi-Fi time is limited.
Here’s hoping this post helps! 🙂
It’s mostly down to comments being held in moderation, a question may have already been asked many times but those comments haven’t passed moderation yet so they don’t show up on the site, people think they’re the first one to ask the question when they’re really #257.
Did you verify that they could read the responses? Did you check the timestamps to be sure that they were released at that point? (Remembering the delay in comments approvals.) I’m sure you’re mostly right, just putting that out there, to be fair.
Dirk & Simp – Yes, that does account for some of that problem, but not even remotely all. These questions can go on for *days*. I cringe when I see the phrase “Has anyone else noticed that….,” because it’s usually followed by something that dozens of people (or more) have already noticed and commented on, often on various different lists over several days.
Now, granted, not everyone has the time or inclination to read as many posts and comments here as I do, but, I think if you’re going to start a comment with that line, it is incumbent upon you to at least read a couple of pages of comments for the article that you’re about to post that comment on to see whether anyone else has already posted about it.
Or maybe it’s just me….
Not just you Sandra, I try to read all comments,
When people ask the same question that’s already been answered 5 times, it’s because they’re inexperienced players and they’re panicking over whatever the problem is, so they don’t read any comments, they just gotta post their question NOW
I find it quite entertaining when Bunny or Alissa give the same reply over and over, and we probably all think……why didn’t they read the post properly, the answer is already there ! …and another, AND another …..
Then you can just imagine Alissa or Bunny beginning to lose patience a little bit
🙂
I have an odd question. I have no idea what to do with the Station Platforms. I get what to do with the the Station Extensions and Stations Stairs, but those platforms – do you just put them around the actual station? What’s everyone doing with theirs? Am I making it more complicated than it needs to be, lol?
Lol. No worries. Many of us are curious of WHAT to do with the pieces. I am getting the main info out… but will have some posts coming with ideas on design too that everyone can share on. 😉
Perfect! I figured you would have a post about it. I’m glad I’m not the only one with confusion, thanks 🙂
I’ve used mine to make mini stations along my track route, the train doesn’t stop at them but its one way to use them
I did the same thing with mine! Space in mine is too limited to take up that much space with one building. I can wedge a platform, stairs, & a cpl towers many places thought & the train goes right by them, Springfielder’s will just have to learn to jump on the train from them, lol!😆
Why dont I get any of the S curves Monorail Tracks?
Keep playing and earning Duct Tape and you will. 😉

so far, no glitches for me – let’s hope it stays that way! Up to now, I really like this event. Just two things: Wouldn’t it be nice to have longer tasks with larger payouts available? For all of us who work during the day and sleep during the night… I am able to make up for lost time because I have every premium character possible working on the short tasks during my spare time, but still. And the second: Why are there so few plastic-projects? Half the time my Plastic Depot is at capacity, and the board is only asking for metal, metal, and more metal. And, yes, I know you are not EA and cannot do anything about it. I’m just saying… And also looking for kindred spirits. I can’t be the only one, can I?
The rest of us don’t sleep and don’t work. Didn’t you watch the ad for the game? It Is supposed to be life ruiningly fun!
Expatrie-
(who is only partly kidding)
No glitches you say,
What about your poor neighbours ? 🙂 …..my game crashed the other day when visiting you, you’ve got quite a lot of stuff, it’s one of those towns with a noticeable slow down, requires very steady tapping, 🙂
I wonder how many people have got neighbours who have stopped visiting since the start of this event, …..they’re not on holiday, they just haven’t got enough memory to participate …..maybe 🙂
Sorry! I know I should reduce the number of items, I just can’t make up my mind what to put in storage. Really bad at making decisions, me 😉
I even thought of nuking it, but there are some areas I really like and hate to lose…
Well I was in tears this morning! My game crashed and when I logged back in everything had gone…EVERYTHING! Just Homer wandering around aimlessly in a pit of nothing but land and blackness. I think I might have screamed too : 0
Anyway thankfully after a complete uninstall and reboot my town did come back but holy cow did I panic!!! Lesson to all to ensure their game has an origin ID or you do risk losing your town forever. I think I might have to buy a tablet for future events as my mobile just can’t take it anymore.
How do I know if I am near the 4500 limit?
When you get the pop up.
