Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Because all Superheroes need a sequel…Superheroes 2 has found its way into our pocket sized Springfields! This super event hit our devices…and with it arrived a whole new Event to make us scratch our heads, and drive us slightly insane. 😉
And on that insane note, let’s talk about everyone’s favorite topic….CRAFTING!
Love it or hate it, EA has proven over the last year + that crafting is here to stay. While the prizes themselves are pretty self explanatory, collect this to earn these prizes, crafting is a whole other “animal”. Crafting requires some self direction. You decide what you want and collect the items to craft accordingly. Sometimes this is successful and sometimes it’s not. And, as with all things, for some events crafting is easier than others. Luckily for us, this event crafting is pretty simple and straight forward. EA has really fine tuned their message for this event..
Now I know some of you still have questions about what to craft, if you should wait or craft now and what will happen when it all ends…so as we’ve done in the past, we’re here to breakdown all the crafting fun for you guys. So let’s take a look at the complete guide to Crafting in Issue 3…
For those looking for the how tos of crafting, I’ve broken it all down in the Issue 1 post, which you can find here.
So assuming you’ve got the basics down…let’s break down each item available for crafting during Issue 3…
Note: i’m excluding the Band-Aids here because we all know what they do by now, and I’ve advised several times not to spend your resources on them. Just say no 😉
Item: Atomic Bomb
Cost: 170
Size: 3×3
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: It’s a decoration… Just hangs out in Springfield.
Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 2 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…otherwise I’d save the trading cards for later.
Item: Bent Over Lamp Post
Cost: 170
Size: 1×2
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: It’s a decoration… Just hangs out in Springfield. However, when tapped sparks (can be hard to see) appear where the top of the lamp meets the post.
Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 3 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…but don’t get this right away. There are far better items to craft this time around, so save those cards up to get a better item first.
Item: Zenith City Mailbox
Cost: 170
Size: 1×1
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: It’s a decoration…just hangs out in Springfield. I will say it is TINY in height though.
Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 3 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…but don’t get this right away. There are far better items to craft this time around, so save those cards up to get a better item first.
Item: Garbage Can, Green Bin & Zenith City Bin
Cost: 170
Size: 3 separate cans, each 1×1 in size
Conform-O-Meter: Each one is Vanity +100

Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 3 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…but don’t get this right away. There are far better items to craft this time around, so save those cards up to get a better item first.
Item: Hero Clothesline
Cost: 210
Size: 1×4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: It’s a decoration…just hangs out in Springfield. (height is up to the chest of the criminals)
Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 3 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…but don’t get this right away. There are far better items to craft this time around, so save those cards up to get a better item first.
Item: High Voltage Transformer
Cost: 335
Size: 2×3
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: It’s a decoration…animated when tapped. Sparks fly off the switch when tapped.
Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 3 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…but don’t get this right away. There are far better items to craft this time around, so save those cards up to get a better item first.
Item: Painted Horse
Cost: 790
Size: 2×3
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Unique: No, you can craft more than 1
What Does It Do?: It’s a decoration…always slightly animated. Tail will move, ears and eyes will shift slightly. I will also say this TOWERS over every other decoration we’ve covered so far.
Should I Craft?: If you have the resources you should get it, but this is low on my priority list for Issue 3 Crafting. I’d determine if you really need it in your Springfield…but don’t get this right away. There are far better items to craft this time around, so save those cards up to get a better item first.
Item: Botanical Garden
Cost: 945
Size: 10×10
Conform-O-Meter: Tree Hugging +100
Unique: Yes, 1 per Springfield. (So if you have it from last year you can’t get another)
What Does It Do?: Building (4hr build time) that earns $150, 13xp/8hrs
Should I Craft?: If you don’t already have it, yes. This is one of the best items in Issue 3. But it’s not THE best, item. So wait to craft until you get the best item you can for Issue 3.
Item: Zenith City Store Front, Apartments & Lofts
Cost: 945
Size: Store Front: 4×8; Apartments: 8×6; Lofts: 5×7
Conform-O-Meter: Each is Indolence +10
Unique: Nope grab as many as you’d like
What Does It Do?: Buildings (4hr build), they’ll earn cash and XP. ( $75, 7xp/3hrs)
Should I Craft?: I’ve never been a big fan of these, honestly. I say if you missed them last year go ahead and craft them. Yes these are new but not my thing as I skipped the similar ones last year. Personally….I’d save my cards. I have several of these already and they just sit in inventory. (yes they earn cash…so in theory (like i said with the gardens) these are a good craft. But still…they’re sitting in my inventory..)
Character: Charcoal Briquette (France Flag)
Cost: 4,000
Size: Flag is 2×2
Bonus: Flag has a .25% bonus on it
Unique: Yes, you can only buy 1
What Does it Do: Charcoal Briquette is a full character for Springfield. She can battle (Tech 4 hearts), completes the Fossil Fuel 4 Character Set and comes with a questline (oh and she has HILARIOUS tasks)
Should I Craft: Yes. This is, hands down, the best item of all the issue for Superheroes 2. Craft this before you get anything else from Issue 3.
And now I’ll get you the typical questline and task rundown for her…so if you don’t want to know you can stop reading the post now and just comment your thoughts below 🙂

And there you have it my friends! The deets on the Issue 3 crafting! Hands down the best item to craft is Charcoal Briquette
What are your thoughts on Issue 3 Crafting? Which prizes do you like the best? Have you crafted any yet? Thoughts on collecting trading cards? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
It looks like Sidekick Milhouse is available in the store again, according to a push notification.
Thanks so much for this post, Alissa! I was racking my brain trying to figure out where that .25 percent came from. I knew it had to be something I had crafted but I had completely forgotten about the French flag! Doh!
I apologize in advance for this question. I have looked and searched but haven’t come across the answer. Other than upgrade a fighter to give more hearts, what do those gems do? Can they be used for anything? I have been skipping them in the daily challenges lately.
Thank you! ( and again sorry if this has been covered already)
All they are useful for is upgrading fighters.
I have been wanting cows, pigs, or something to put in my slaughterhouse pen for awhile now. A horse painted like a cow is way better than anything I was hoping for.
Is it me or does it seem like its taking longer to collect trading cards? I want to get more ‘cows’ and nuclear warheads but it seems like it takes forever to amass a good quantity of cards. I’m glad I saved 4000 for Charcoal Briquette from issue 2 or I might be panicking now. We have almost ten days I know, but some of us want a third set of buildings and a herd of ‘cows’ to corral in our Western Springfield.
I never thought I’d get this into the superheroes event. I’m glad I purchased a boatload of donuts. I may have to get all of the superheroes and felons. I’m still on the fence about the Scoutmaster, but he’s been getting rave reviews. If I get him, I have to get Citizen Solar& Wind Lad too.
By the way, I just purchased Death Mountain, placed it and there’s no quest start-up. Is this another problem like Kane manor? I did the standard store and replace, but no joy.
Anyway, I love the event. I’ve gotten so many new characters and there are a lot of cool buildings and decorations to collect. My Fortress of choclitude will be built in just under 2 days!I’m looking forward to the Bouncing Battle Baby skin and Dr. Lenny’s Lab.
Thanks Bunny, Wookiee and Alyssa for keeping the posts coming. You’ve truly helped me become an Addict!
Things appear the same way to me too. My first couple years playing I never missed out on a thing. Seems like the past 3 or 4 recent events, I cannot claim all the prizes. In SH2, I only got halfway through phases 1 and 2. I’ve been losing a lot of interest the last two weeks.
I think so. Also I keep getting notices that my town is full of bandits. I’ll check the whole place and the most I get are 10-12 which doesn’t seem full if you ask me.
Finally getting into the nick of things in this task, it took 3 issues haha.
Finding it fun to put the Heros on the 4 hour mansion tasks while hunting for Pokemon.
Placed down that botanical garden and got two, neat 🙂
Oops event not task 🙈
Ok. I’m jealous that you newer players are getting two botanical gardens. Good for you though.
The crafting us kind of meh.,,
I will probably load up on the nukes stuck in the ground. Kind of randomly hide them around my town. IDK. I put a clothes line outside the mansion and one at the Cletus residence. After that I just don’t know. I wish I could have a garage sale of stuff to my neighbors.
Over all I’m not into this event. I know a lot of you are and that’s cool, everything isn’t for everybody. I’m more interested in getting dr Lenny’s laboratory then anything else in the prize line. Does anyone know what episode that came from?
I do and have an origin post coming.
IMNSHO, the buildings are by far and away the best thing to craft (not including Charcoal Briquette, of course!). They’re relatively small and earn 7 times more XP (and cash?) than, say, the brown houses.
The most disappointing item is the mailbox….why did they make it so ridiculously tiny? They should have been the same size as the one in front of the post office. That would have been something I’d have looked to have crafted multiples of, if it weren’t so microscopic. Sorry to hear that the garbage cans are miniscule, too.
Other than more buildings (which I’ll craft, even if I don’t have anywhere to put them right now), the only thing that looks worthwhile would be the horse/”cow,” although that doesn’t particularly excite me. The clothesline might be good, too, if it doesn’t turn out to also be tiny…. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it when I go visiting neighbors later, so I can see how big it is.
I’m loving all the craftables even the tiny postboxes! The clotheslines are a fair size I’ve got a few if you want to check them out.
I have a clothesline just south of my Alley on top of one of the Zenith buildings if you want to check it out. I feel like they’re a good size!
Alissa – in a few of your item reviews above, you allude to saving cards for later. Is that an “artifact” from reusing a previous post to create this one, or will there be new crafting items released before the end of the event? No worries if it’s the former…I know how easy it is to miss stuff like that, especially with everything you’re juggling…I’m only asking in case the answer is the latter, so I’ll know to hang on to some cards!
Related question…re the Painted Horse…you say that there are WAY better items to craft this time around, so save your cards, but the only craftable you seemed to give a thumbs up to was Charcoal. Did you write this post before she was released and then just added her before you posted the article? If not, then it seems like another implication that there’s more coming?…
It was written after as far as I know. As for stuff coming, we had an inkling of Briquette, as for anything else, it’s anyone’s guess. My strategy is to hold off until the last day regardless after trading for the character of course.
Hah, I, too, was looking for the “better” items, and it turned out just to be Charcoal. I think the horse/cow is neat and the reason for the size is that it is exactly the right size to go with our horses from Wild West. The reason for the small size of the clothesline (and probably all of the small items) is that they go with the small size of the Zenith buildings. They don’t go general in our town.
So, I, who has different opinions than Alissa, say that garbage cans and mailboxes are probably the only good items to craft multiples of. Well, and the painted horses, if you’re into that.
Charcoal isn’t a fossil fuel.
I’m just sayin’…
But she’s a lady supervillain so she gets to be a part of the group.
They probably just confused charcoal with coal.
I didn’t know there was a difference…
Charcoal is man-made, usually from wood, though not necessarily. Coal is naturally created over eons, from decaying plant and animal matter (the decaying animal matter part is what makes it a fossil fuel).
To be honest, I wasn’t 100% clear about this either until this discussion, which prompted me to research it a bit. (God, how I love the internet!)
Strictly speaking, that is true, but a lot of charcoal has been made from fossil fuels such as peat, petroleum, and coal. Briquettes especially tend to use coal dust as part of their composition. So it’s kind of a reach, but it works.
I truly do not understand all the complaining about the crafting stuff.
Thank you I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me. Flat out love the craftables and the event.
Charcoal came a bit late for me as I used all my resources for everything else, still have a lot to save before I get her
I will say that Charcoal Briquette does have the best animation of any of the villains, especially in the felon fights.
With regards to the Painted Horse, we did just have a Wild West event, and now we have horses to put into play.
I’ve tapped the Painted Horse in neighbors towns, it “Moo”s and I find that Desturbing so I’m passing on it.
I bought one Painted Horse and thought “One Horse will be very lonely.” So I bought four more. And what happened? Charcoal Briquette appears in the shop! Oh well, there are 10 days to get those 4,000 trading tickets.
Buying Band-Aids by the bucket load. I’ve got so many thingy whatsits left over they’re being used to heal my fighters so they can lose multiple battles and earn more crab juice. Struggling to find enough things to craft but that’s only cos I got all the good stuff first time around.
Thanks for the post though, was wondering if there were any bonus multipliers I was missing out on.
Unless you have very few fighters, how are you able to have enough felons to do that? Even when I play against the opposites, it’s hard not to eventually win against at least three battle groups (and getting harder and hard as the game gives me new fighters).
Got Briquette yesterday. She also earns currency at the Summer Mansion… so her questline is going to be waiting a little while, for me. 🙂
I stopped upgrading when I got the Mansion upgraded to both wings. Is there really a point to continuing?
It’s up to you. If you keep going, you can continue to expand the tap radius, plus earn event currency. If you don’t care about the tap radius and the low event currency payout doesn’t make it seem worth it to you, then you might as weekly stop and put those characters into more lucrative tasks.
There are two main points to continuing.
One, it earns a decent amount of event currency which can help you unlock all the Prize Track prizes quicker. I upgraded from level 1 to level 20 the first 7 days of Issue 1 en route to unlocking Old King Coal. But then I stopped once I had him for the next seven days while earning bonuts. I then upgraded from level 20 to level 23 the first four days of Issue 2 en route to unlocking Stretch Dude. But then I stopped once I had him for the next ten days while earning bonuts. I then upgraded from level 23 to level 27 the past five days since the start of Issue 3 en route to unlocking Dr. Crab. But then I stopped this morning once I had him and won’t send them there as I get a better return on investment having them earn in-game cash for KEM farming than the bonuts from leveling up.
Two, it increases the tap radius, which is very helpful while you’re working on the Prize Track. Now that I have Dr. Crab, I can just click ‘Do It’ and it takes me straight to the criminals. But while I was working on the prize tracks in all three Issues, including the past few days in this Issue; it was amazing to see how many hidden criminals were captured because of my large tap radius that I hadn’t seen with the naked eye. You mention you keep getting notices that your town is full of criminals, but when you check the whole place, the most you get are 10-12. A larger tap radius will help you capture criminals you’re missing.
Personally, I would recommend holding off on the Charcoal Briquette and Bouncing Battle Baby (and Scoutmaster if applicable) questlines until after you unlock Dr. Crab. And in the mean time, send everyone who can go to the mansion, to the mansion. You’ll be surprised how much a difference those small quantities make over time. I just started on part 1 of Charcoal Briquette, Bouncing Battle Baby, Scoutmaster, and Dr. Crab’s questlines this morning after unlocking him. Did the same thing in the previous two Issues. Don’t know about others, but this strategy worked great for me in all three Issues.
What Sandra and Safi said — with one minor addendum. If you’re still working through the prize track in Act 3, another way to reveal those hidden criminals is to switch to “redecorate” mode, and disable the buildings, trees, decorations, etc., so that you can see through them to what’s behind. This is particularly useful if you have a lot of very big buildings, such as the Exclusive Resort. You can’t actually *tap* on the criminals while in redecorate mode, but you’ll know exactly where they are, and can tap them immediately after exiting redecorate mode.
(I’ve found that this tip is actually quite useful in pretty much EVERY event.)
I have leveled up to level 26, which is a big help in finding those pesky criminals. I have a maxed out and crowded Springfield. You idea is sound but unpractical for me.
I guess we just have different views on what constitutes practical. Like you, I have a crowded Springfield, and it’s nigh impossible to find those criminals within the region covered by my tightly packed 1000 unit purple house farm, without using the hide buildings trick. With that trick, it’s a quick and easy task.
I would like the French lady better if she didn’t look like a hooker. Seriously, this event has been one for the boys. Not cool. Hope we get something better soon.
You can alays make your own game and populate it with the characters that you want.
I think this is the second time you’ve commented that you think this event is “for the boys.” (The first time, part of the reason you have was that it was very complex, unless I’m confusing you with someone else.)
As a woman, I gotta say that your comment kind of offends me. Females can like superheroes and we’re just as capable as makes at handling complex challenges. I think you’re working with stereotypes….are girls supposed to just like TSTO events that feature cute animals or shopping and that aren’t too mentally taxing? Conversely, if there were to be an event that featured cute animals or shopping, would it be unmasculine for a guy to enjoy it? How is Charcoal Briquette’s outfit any more racy than Bare-Chested Ned’s?
I’m not saying that I think you should, or have to, like this event or Charcoal…I have no problem with people saying that they don’t like a particular event’s theme, or structure, or craftables, or prizes, or whatever, even if my opinions happen to differ. I only worry about comments that perpetuate stereotypes that can be harmful for children (making them feel “other” if their tastes don’t conform to the stereotype) and adult women, who have had to work hard to prove that they can handle (and enjoy) complexity and own their own sexuality.
Okay – getting off my soapbox now! 😉
Well said, toots. 😉
😘
Since you liked my previous comment, I’ll take that to mean you realize it was said in jest. I hope so, anyway. Not the “well said” part. That was genuine. 🙂
I remember the other comment you referred to. I find both of them rather odd (off-putting, maybe, I can’t think of the right word). What I mean is, I don’t particularly care for this event. Does that mean I’m not one of the boys? No, it just means this event isn’t for me. And that’s just fine. Can’t please everyone all the time.
Yes, of course…I loved it! Does that mean I’m a dame now? I like that idea… 😉
You’re a dame and I’m a fella. 🎶
Oh, you big lug! 🙂
I don’t think we got any replies last time, did we? So, I’ll just talk to you. Hi. 😉
The thing about looking like a hooker is that it doesn’t make you a hooker. It’s just a look. Dolly Parton said she modeled her look after the town whore(s). Doing that never did make her a whore. She always seemed like a grandmother to me, even with the big rack and big hair and heavy makeup.
Anyways, specifically, I don’t see how that outfit would fit that description anyways. Seems close to a wrestling outfit for women. Obviously we have superhero style clothing and this would be similar to that. I think the only part that is “questionable” is the cleavage, and that’s how Kathy should have said what her issue was. Obviously I like that part of it (nearly as much as the hanging locks of hair in front) but it’s just such a common thing for women to show off cleavage…. is that really a problem that has to equate to being a hooker? I don’t know… 🙁
Is Charcoal, or her outfit, any more risqué than Hostess Miss Springfield? Or Squirrel Luann? Mindy in her bikini?
Or like Sandra said, Bare-Chested Ned? Acorn Kirk? Or some of Homer’s tasks?
Heh, maybe Springfield is just full of hookers. 😉
I told you, I just grow sorghum here!
Similar comments were made during the first superheroes event, which I also loved. Are you familiar with the world of superheroes? Skin tight outfits and big chests are kind of a thing, for both sexes. I remember when Captain America emerged from the machine in the first movie. Pretty sure the fact that he was bare-chested and oiled up was intentional, not to mention Agent Carter’s reaction (she wasn’t Agent then though, was she?) Everything the Simpsons does is parody…how could they resist parodying the skimpy outfits and stereotypes? I love it!
If I had a grill on my head I would also dress like a hooker, because it looks f’ing awesome.
I was online Wednesday at 6pm EDT (midnight ushering in the 14th in France), when the Bastille Day pop-up appeared and I crafted Charcoal Briquette immediately. But in my haste, I lost track of where I placed the French flag. I’m currently re-designing/re-organizing my Springfield, and half of it is still in complete disarray with buildings adjacent buildings. After over forty hours of searching, I finally found my flag behind one of the mansions (I still haven’t organized my mansions neighbourhood). Can’t wait until my re-design is over. I’m NEVER nuking my city again.
I was stupid enough to buy five painted horses, so I have to save up 4,000 trading tickets for Charcoal Briquettes.
(I know you warned about the appearance in the shop, but due to a senior moment I forgot that.)
I nuked my town a while ago. Worst. Mistake. Ever. I didn’t know it would store all of the characters, and Brandine was a week away from unlocking another kid. I was so mad.
From now on, if I do a redesign, I’m going to move stuff around or store individually, not nuke the town.
I’ve nuked twice before, but always when no one was on a task. Ouch, 83 days down the drain. That sucks. Feel for you.
With the ability to area-select 4 parcels of land (32×32 blocks) at a time worth of objects, you could theoretically store everything manually over a little time. Doing it this way you’ll be warned of the specific number of characters that will be stored. Seems safer and you’ll have more control. I plan to “mini-nuke” in this way when I get enough time in a day to myself to focus on a redesign.
That’s true. Might be a good solution going forward. But as my relatively long-time neighbour, you may recall both my nukings came before EA implemented the amazing grab and move feature.
I remember one person nuking and eventually putting things back (but maybe never finishing, dunno). I don’t think it was you. In fact, I didn’t even notice you were in transition. I see one jumbled area…
I nuked once and somehow came back from it. Been unsure of ever doing it again though.
I nuked once, early on in the game before I’d really accomplished much — thankfully. At this point, I have far too much in my Springfield, and can definitely say, “never again!” 😀
I would like to have the possibility to store an area as is and replace it as is. This would be very helpful for seasonal things like the Christmas area that I have.
I think it’s possible to code that. Store it means that you’re not adding to the render count. Maybe they’ll add that feature one day. Only issue I can think of is that it might be confusing for some people, when they start wondering “where’s my item”, because it probably wouldn’t be in the main inventory, just like placed items are obviously not in the inventory I don’t think “stored and arranged” items would be either.
Haha 😂
It took me about 2 weeks of hard graft after nuking my town. I was putting things everywhere to sort out where I want my sections, it just looked a mess. I had all money making and xp bonus materials out so I could at least get some good coin coming in. To be fair also i haven’t really finished, it always seems to be a work in progress. But the big thing I did right was not do it right before an event, I did it right after. There seems to be about 2 weeks between mini and major events these days.
Good luck on your rebuild, would love to see it. Any space for a new neighbor?
I’m exactly at 100 right now, with no one queued if anyone goes inactive. But if you shoot me your username or send me a request (hint: click my gravatar to find my username), I’ll be sure to make you the next one I add.
Sent through!
What a welcome! I dropped an inactive neighbour and added you. I was exploring your town when I tapped on a felon and got a donut! Talk about love thy neighbour. thanks for the mmm… premium currency!
BTW, I always like taking Monorail rides in my neighbours towns. I’ve done it at least once in everyone’s town. I really enjoyed the ride in yours. You have a very scenic route thus far.And like me, you also have track pieces laid out indicating future paths. Look forward to another ride when its all complete.
Thanks mate! Yeah ive got big plans for my monorail. Pretty much when i nuked the town it was initially going to be set up all around my monoail route but i quickly niticed that i didnt have enough track so i dropped stations near the areas I was creating and goung from there. It will be pretty awesome when its done.
Your welcome on the donuts, i try to leave a little love for all my new neighbours.
I have yet to see where your at with your town but will soon.
Yeah, I had the exact same concept.This all applies to me too:
“ive got big plans for my monorail. Pretty much when i nuked the town it was initially going to be set up all around my monoail route but i quickly niticed that i didnt have enough track so i dropped stations near the areas I was creating and goung from there. It will be pretty awesome when its done.”
I just had a peep at your town and I love the double lanes to have your monorail in the middle as to not have it in the ‘driving lanes’. And your at level 600+! Man you’ve been hard at it. Your town looks to be coming along quite well.
Even though I got a bunch of duplicates in Act 2, I kind of wished I’d gotten even more. I already have tons of the buildings from last year (I wish the Botanical Garden wasn’t unique), so aside from Charcoal Briquette (who has some great animations!) there are only a few small things to get. I have several thousand cards right now, and I’ll earn several thousand more before it ends. I’m probably going to end up with a whole herd of cow-horses and a ton of bombs…
I’ll hold off on most crafting for now in the hopes that they surprise us with more items (unlikely) or bring back some of the Act 2 items (possible?).
I hate to be negative nellie, but the crafting leaves a lot to be desired this time (with the exception of Charcoal Briquette, and I suppose the Botanical Garden, but I got that last year). I wish I had crafted more of the Zenith city buildings from Act II, since they at least take up less space. The small stuff is all well & good (I like the bomb, for instance), but I don’t need 30 of them. What to do with all those trading cards… Maybe I’ll surround my whole Zenith City area with clotheslines?
Fence in my Zenith City area with clotheslines? I love it!
Axe Diesel, you are my favourite tool and energy source now. Sorry Hammer Methane, you’re now in second place.
I actually like your idea of a clothes line “fence” for the super heroe neighourhood, i might steal it from you 😋 I did get a few sets of the buildings as they give a payout and I always seem to be short on money… and i do like them, unlike some people, not to name anyone… 😉
I wish there was an option to craft donuts. Even in some small amount. Say 2,000 cards gets you 5 donuts. That would be a way to keep me interested after I’ve crafted everything, which I have. I’ll craft a few extra of the small decos because they can be easily fit into town somewhere. But I really don’t need 20 bent lamp posts or clotheslines.
Well, the buildings earn money, which can be converted to donuts through farming…
True. But I’m talking straight up dollars for donuts. Or rather, cards for donuts, as the case may be.
Oh, I understood what you were saying, but that ain’t never gonna happen, so I was just trying to find the next closest thing for you. 🙂
Never say never! A year ago who would have thought EA would become so generous with donuts? I do agree with you that it’s unlikely but dare to dream! 😀
I don’t know if this happened to anyone else but, as soon as I crafted and placed my botanical garden, I was immediately prompted to place a 2nd one. So now I have two. 🙂
I got 2 as well and still have the ability to craft more. Glitch or is it no longer unique?
Same
Thanks Alissa. Crafted everything and still sitting with over 8,000 Trading Cards.
What a waste.
When I placed the garden…the game gave me two. Don’t know what happened but I’m thrilled.
Really helpful! Thanks 😀 Charcoal Britiqque looks fabulous in the most family friendly way!
GRRRRRR!!!!!! They hadn’t released Charcoal Briquette early on and i had tons of cards so i spent them on getting lots of the little things, now i’m rushing again to get enough for her!!! Q___Q!!!
Same…I actually like the Zenith City buildings and I didn’t see Alissa’s warning about holding our horses (can’t believe she didn’t bother to track me down and personally save me from myself😉) so I crafted quite a few of those. I’m easily on track to get Charcoal, but I want her right now, dangit!
I looooove Charcoal Briquette’s animations. The one she uses in battle, “Flame On” is sooooooo cool looking. I hope that they have a Secret Issue like they did with Superheroes 1 and we get a Fossil Fuel 4 Building that they fought Radioactive man on. It could be sort of like the Opera House where you could send all the Fossil Fuel 4, and Radioactive man there and they would play Battle Animations.
Something was coming up in a few days. I guess that could be considered Issue 4.
I crafted everything I wanted. It would be nice if they added even more things but that seems unlikely. At least they added a character!
Am I weird for not being excited by Briquette? As a max/min freemium player it makes way more sense to me to craft four sets of buildings and still have cards left over. Twelve cash earners trumps (sorry if that word triggers anyone) one earner with a small percentage. If she were awesome like the Scoutmaster or more Simpson-y I might have been more excited.
I like characters. Always characters. You won’t regret not getting buildings as much as characters. You’re right about the money earning though. **** Pray for Nice. Democracy for Turkey.
Apologies but I censored the American political stuff. Plenty of other blogs to discuss that.
Well it reads funny now in context. Can I at least go on the record saying I was definitely not triggered and did not attack B3arvlaw for his use? Lol.
My superhero area is going to be legit when this is all said & done. I’m having major difficulties with the app, I click in the comment box and start typing and it repeatedly closes the comment box while typing, or even if I don’t type. I just had an oddity fighting in a neighbor’s town, I hit 90 today but on my last battle I selected 3 fighters and started the battle but both myself and my opponent started with only 2 fighters. Fight went smooth though, no other glitches, anybody have this happen? Also, I’m really hoping EA does a super solid and awards a mystery prize to people who still hit the original 115 battles mark. Like the as yet unreleased Radioactive Man movie set or something.
