Get Tappin’ Again: Server FYIs

Important Notes:
These articles are planned to be as detailed as possible for those less technical. Although I will use this section to highlight things I think are really important please read it all thoroughly.

There’s more than one public server out there, but AFIK one of those had a catastrophic snafu a couple of weeks ago and isn’t running right now.

Credits:
These articles, with the kind permission of TeamTSTO, may contain content reposted from their Website or Discord.
These will show in “double-quotes”, preceded by (source name in brackets)

If you’re technically minded, don’t mind using Discord and don’t want to wait for my articles to go up then the Website has instructions with more info on Discord.

In This Article:
● Intro
● Series Index
● On Questions
● Private Servers
● Public Servers
• Project Springfield
• Tapped Out Reborn

Intro:
I plan to do a series of step-by-step articles as listed below. Once written I’ll edit the Series Index with a link to that article to help you find them.
These are intended to help guide you, one step at a time. If you need help then you’ll probably need to read all the articles once they are posted.

Issue with the Town Archive search

First and important:
As some of you may know I’m a volunteer with the EA CCP program.
This does not mean I am, or ever was, an employee of either EA or the TSTO Studio.
Any thoughts or opinions I share are entirely my own.

While express permission to get involved hasn’t been granted it also hasn’t been denied. That may change in the future and I’ll have to withdraw from further participation.

Search seems not to like hyphens!

EDIT: This is being investigated. Thanks spAnser.

EDIT 2: There’s a patch in place that doesn’t turn up zero results if a hyphen is included, but it does give more results than hoped for even if you type the name in full.
It even found my town searching 1–s …

TSTO NPCs A to Z

TSTO NPCs A to Z

Nothing fancy, just an A-Z list of all the NPCs names.

There is a set of quick-find by letter links and links in the list to take you back there if you’re looking for someone specific.

I make it 153, but let me know if I missed any.
I’ve not included Gil or Lyle Lanley. They aren’t supposed to stick around in your games like these others do.

There’s a list for Characters and one for Skins already done.

Dates:

Wave 1: September 26th
Wave 2: October 1st

There’s an awful lot in these, not absolutely everything ever but not far off.
I haven’t had chance to research it all and not much point in just posting a list of the system names.
I will get it done with a post per wave and add links to those dates.

Taps Wave 5 also includes some new content.
I’ll edit this with the new stuff once it’s out and I’ve checked it.

Ramblings of a Crazed Donut Farmer

Maximising the cash and Donuts

Why ?

Why get loads of sprinkles ?
There’s a whole heap of returning content plus the stuff always in store you may not have got round to getting before if you still want to add to your town.

Why start farming ?
Don’t !! Read the post !!


( ^^ That’s my Donut count from Halloween 2020 )
A quick bio.

Because there was a risk sharing my actual count could end up with people thinking about cheating all I usually said was I had an insane amount of Donuts, but that no longer applies.
