One Word: Plastics (Turbo Tappin’ Rage Against the Rail & Plastic Depot Info)

Posted on August 19, 2015 by | 302 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well we were treated to a brand new Monorail Questline this morning…Rail Against the Machine!  In this questline things start to go a little haywire for the Springfield Monorail..and some of you may notice smoke coming out of your Monorails.  No worries though..just keep following along with the questline and everything will be ok.

One key element that comes out of this new update and questline is the Plastic Depot will now unlock!  Yes another place for you to turn your junk into “treasure” and add yet another element to the project board.

So let’s break everything down from the Plastic Depot to the Rail Against the Machine questline….

Level 56 and the Conform-O-Meter

Posted on August 19, 2015 by | 24 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Level 56 arrived in Springfield recently and with it arrived a dangerous duo of Lance Murdock and Daredevil Bart, as well as some new buildings & decorations to help improve our Conform-O-Meters!

The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and  XP from everything you collect in the game.  When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town.  If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.

Of course with the release of Level 56 many of the requirements to maintain 5 Stars on your Conform-O-Meter have changed, so let’s check it out and see what the new requirements are.  So now you’ll have all the information you need to maintain that 5-Star Springfield!

Friendship Level 17: Unlocking Bloodbath & Beyond

Posted on August 18, 2015 by | 38 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers,

How are my favorite Addicted Tappers doing today?   Racking up those FP’s by visiting your neighbors?  Just a reminder, remember to help out your fellow neighbors and clear those handshakes!  Are you in need of more Tapping Friends?  Remember you can always find friends on our Add Friends Page (and here for ones who pledge not to vandalize you)…the best (and only way) to submit your Add Me requests on TSTO Addicts!

So with the Level 56 Update EA gave us the 17th Social Currency Event Prize…Bloodbath & Beyond!  An all new store for your Springfield!  So now my friends let’s break down this 16th Friendship Prize.  Just want to remind you all with this update it’s important to remember to SLOW DOWN.  There’s no rush to get the FP’s, so take your time and enjoy it!  🙂

Anywho…Bloodbath & Beyond is unlocked once you’ve unlocked the Angel Fossil AND earned an additional 2,000FP…so many of you have either just unlocked it or should be unlocking it sometime in the next few days (depending on how many friends you have).  So what happens when you unlock this store?  Does it do anything?  Are there tasks for it?  What about a questline?  Well let’s answer all of your questions by taking a closer look at Bloodbath & Beyond now…

Addicts Weekly Open Thread

Posted on August 16, 2015 by | 314 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Due to POPULAR request….we’ve moving up our open thread time so that our friends outside of the US can participate too!  Let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

Now…enough rambling from me….it IS Sunday and you know what that means, right?  Time for another Open Thread!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So…here is your Open Thread.  The Monorail Event hit our devices last week, what are your initial thoughts on it?  How’s your tracking coming?  Have big plans for it?  Sunday Night Baseball tonight features the Angels vs Royals, will you be watching?  Preseason Football has started, are you watching your team?  How are they looking this year?  Do anything fun this weekend?  Have anything planned for today?

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of!  Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!
