Short ‘n’ sweet bonus post following today’s patch
( August 8th 2024 )
A mahoosive thanks to the Studio for:
All that new land.
Fixing the Ground Tiles issue quickly.
Increasing the Item Limits from 16,000 to 18,000.
Adding the Golden Goose Realty to the Permanent Store.
You can find that in the Premium Items bit ( the golden Homer Buddha icon ) for 150 Donuts and it generates a Land Token every 12 hours if you have less Tokens than available Land to unlock.
If you don’t see it in your Store it probably means you have it already. Here it is for my C Town which does need it …
TTFN
Driving me crazy that my Golden Goose Realty is back to producing land tokens but none of the available land I have left to purchase can use them 🙁
Any tile for $$s can be got with a Token too.
If there were no tiles to use the Tokens on, or if you had enough Tokens to get ’em, then the GGR would pay $$s instead.
Did you see this post about the new land ??
I bought the Golden Goose Realty a few days ago and did the event that went with it (Burns did some rapping). Anyway, when the event finished, my Realty was nowhere to be found. Just clean empty land. Has this happened before and how do I get my Realty back so I can get some land. The 150 donuts back could be good also. Right now i have nothing to show for my donuts. Looking for help.
Thanks
A few items I think should be introduced for the current future event in the future.
Future monorail track, roads, monorail train.
Probably a developers job but a revisit to a monorail 2 event with track and train themed to the monorail station they are attached to.
Just a thought. 😃 💡
I’m confused…I keep seeing people talk about wanting “future monorail tracks,” but I don’t know what that means or what they would look like. What’s wrong with using the current monorail tracks? Also, I think the current monorail train is already kinda futuristic looking….do we really need a different one? And how would those work if one wanted to hook them up to the existing monorail tracks?
For tracks see the top of the new station – they do look kinda cool.
As for the train, I’m not convinced but it could possibly be done.
No idea on futuristic roads – surely in the future we won’t need roads ?!!
😄 (good roads reference!)
Just found out about the new land expansion and it is HUGE! Has anyone done a screenshot to show whole map?
Done before and after maps in this post but only bought enough to check how big it was.
Check this comment by charlesthefirst1 on last Sunday’s open thread for a link to their Town Portrait
It’s be awesome if they could fix Princess Opal some time too. Poor old girl, she’s gonna be stuck waiting to read tarot cards forever 😞
THANK YOU so much for this post! I never would have known about the new land. I go in, tap, and go back out… never paying attention. I very much appreciate your posts and updates. I love when I come back to this site, there are still so many familiar usernames I see! Much love and appreciation to you, Alyssa and Safi for keeping this site going! This site is like an old cozy blanket! So reliable and always there when you need it!
Hey Graham! I saw a post on a different website that tapped out would end soon when they released all the overpowered stuff. But I don’t think that’s true. If land and item limits didn’t use up server space, they would have been made much higher a long time ago. Long live tapped out!
Also, do you know or know of u/ellieisasmartcookie ? (It’s not me. Just wondering since they’re basically the mvp of the tapped out subreddit.)
If I had a dollar for every time someone posted the end is nigh I’d be a rich man !!
No way they’d have put so much into this in this event to just sunset it.
That Reddit user may be 11EEvey on AHQ and the EA Forum etc, but I couldn’t say for sure.
11EEvey is one smart cookie though.
Actually, I don’t think it’s just server space that kept them from hoping the limits for so long. One if the things they have to contend with us the variety of devices that people play on. People with much older/lower-RAM/lower-space devices can’t handle towns with as much stuff in them, which can be a problem not only for a player’s own town, but also when a player visits one of their friendvilles. For example, when the monorail first came out, some people’s devices would crash when they’d visit a friendville in which the monorail was actively running. They may have had to wait until the vast majority of players had devices that could handle larger towns with more items in them.
I had one neighbourino who’s town took 3 times longer than the rest to load and then lagged like crazy when I was off for visits. Had to say bye to that town in the end, which I hated doing.
My own town was huge back then, so I figured it was the Itchy and Scratchy Land animations that did it, or something like those but glitched.
It took so long to scroll I’d just hit the first 3 things I found there and move on, so I never found out for sure.
It’s great that they have fixed this. I have the yellow submarine and had a store of squidport tiles. With the expansion I have used up my supply and still need loads mors
Sadly the submarine does not generate ornate tiles often so I have a massive shortage of those.
I would have hoped that with the increase in ocean tiles, ea would have allowed us to generate tiles again via the piers but alas not. Or at least, not yet.
The Yellow Sub does give Ornate Pier sometimes.
I get the call for another increase though, did some math earlier.
Ignoring the Entrances that are three Boardwalk or Pier wide you’d need 256 bits to go from one end of 64 tiles to the other.
That’s 1,024 just to make it 4 deep, which is a reasonable size and would need an increase in the cap IMO
The new land has gotten me thinking of the need for teleporters. So far I have the 4 standard (Alpha, Omega, Theta, Zeta), which transport to each other. One ways: City Hall (find a person), upper left hand square (find a person), Daily Challenges (upper right hand corner: Rail Yard Project Board (Blue Icon) using the red can (lower right) to find the Dump and 3 recycle centers.
Others I slightly remember (if I can find), board to railroad?, one way from bars?
What do you use to quickly go some place? (With 5 towns it is difficult to remember where everything is). What do you daily / hourly look to tap? (I have Little Lisa Recycling plant for, Yellow Submersible, Rocket Launch Pad, Sky Finger Monument, Yahweh, God, Donut Mech). Other items of interest Lemon Tree, Great Wall Tower). And now to find Golden Goose Realty.
Also Krustyland Shuttle (to each other)
Forget the most resent: the Desert Welding Yard to build planet sculptures. (Don’t need a teleporter as constantly making).
Other items to visit: Sideshow You (pop balloons), Find Maggie, The two digs (old ruins excavation site) , Stages, Cheddarbarrel Farm barn for corn, etc. , Stonecutter Tunnel, The Eliminator (Lisa Army) , Beloved Billionaires Club (gold road tiles).
BTW: looking for Golden Goose I can’t believe how many items that needed to complete build.
Other buildings (not really needed: Big Box (Daily Challenges) XP Collider (access through Currency Tab).
Using the Krustyland Shuttle to Teleport only applies if you played when it was a separate section, like heading to Friends Towns.
If you started playing during or after the event that Nuked it and shifted it all to the main Springfield, or hadn’t started the quests by then, then you only get one Shuttle and it does nothing.
Shame about that, it would have been nice if you still got the two for that exact reason.
Oh, you do need the Collider to check when it runs out.
Using the Currency bit just shows if you can top it up, not how long is left.
Lost count how many times I tapped SkyFinger to then notice the XP counter was pink and not blue !!
I also remember not noticing, solved it by just a day of the week (e.g. Sunday) to buy 10 more days and maximizing. Now I rarely turn on and usually for just a day, too many donuts to collect.
I get that, my oldest 2 towns haven’t had the Collider going for ages now – but I do need to farm in at least one of them sometime soon.
Used to have a 5 figure Donut count in the B town but that’s almost gone.
My A town count is insane, but it’s about 20k less than the target I aimed for when I went crazy for 3 years. Filling a bucket from the ocean would be about the same difference, but I might just top it back up. It’ll only take 2 or 3 days to do it.
Can I please know what your total bonus from the conform o meter is? I learned from your postings how to raise it smartly and was wondering what yours is at.
My oldest game was over 16,000% before I nuked it.
My newest game, started in January 2023, is over 5,000% – mainly from spending 30,720 Donuts on mini-nukes back in April.
Is there a post that says what items are the best to upgrade the bonus xo conformometer
I forgot to add I thought it was a good addition to my space area, so it was next the Rocket Pad for a quick visual check.
I had the Collider in a compound with Frink’s Lab and a load of tech type bits before I nuked
That’s why I usually aim to refill my collider when it’s down to four days left. That way, if I do forget, or something comes up, for a day or two, I don’t run the risk of it running out on me!
I aim to get it with 19 days left and bump it to 39, but today when I remembered it was down to 4 – oops, but not too late
Other items of interest: Penny Fountain, Arcade Machine,
Love the new land plots!! Thank you, EA! And, thanks, Graham, for all the info!
any word of they’ve fixed the sound glitches?
LAAAAND!
Course…now I have to move stuff…
I play with the sound on my devices turned off
Don’t see the golden goose in the premium items bit.
Stuck a note and screenshot in the post
If you don’t see it it probably means you already have it.
My C town still needs it, here it is in store …

Found it 🙈
Didn’t notice it because it wasn’t producing land tiles as there was no land expansion.
Now I’ve put it near the yellow sub and the skyfinger monument. And of course the God character $777.777 /24h
Thanks
All wonderful!
BUT
The game has made me update 3 times today. Same update 3 times.
So you got an Apple device and discovered Apple keep deleting your game files ??
Isn’t that nice of them to do that when Android and Kindles don’t ??
You can stop it though, see the bit on constantly updating here …
https://help.ea.com/uk/help/mobile/troubleshooting-steps-for-ios-apps/
Make sure you have the right about of space on your device.. if you are under the amount needed for the update.. it will keep making you update it. if memory service me right you need between 6 and 8gig of free space on your device at all times for the game to function properly.
Yeah, but Apple don’t seem to always report Cache and Junk files in the Storage figures so you need to keep cleaning those as well as the other tips in that linked Help article
Got to agree, massive thanks to the studio, massive addition to the game, can we have another superhero event plzz, 😀 👍
I want an event that adds the jasper dog.
