Springfield Showoff: Deep Space

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Alissa | 83 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well many of you have been requesting it, so what better time than now for another edition of Springfield Showoff! This is where we want to see what you’ve done with your Springfield!

With all the new space items from the Deep Space Homer Event, I thought now would be a great time to show us your space stuff! Especially after Wookiee gave you some design ideas…

S0000….we’ll be putting up the Showoff post, featuring your designs, on Thursday (2/4). So show us what you’ve done with your TSTO Space stuff!

So grab some screenshots of your town, or finish up those designs…just make sure it is there by about 9pm EDT Wednesday (2/3). We can’t wait to see what YOU have come up with.

Note: PLEASE try to limit your submissions to only 1-2 of your favorite screenshots. We like to try and let everyone showoff their town but it becomes difficult when some of you are sending in 7-10 images. Pick your favorite areas and send them in (or if you stitch photos together, that works too). We’ll try our best to get EVERYONE in, but please understand that sometimes we miss a photo or two. If we miss you one week, we’ll try really hard to make sure we get you in the next week. You’re always welcome to showoff your town, at any time, on our Flickr page. We know a lot of you have awesome towns that you want to show off, but please try to stick with this week’s theme. Remember, this isn’t a contest. There’s nothing to win. It’s just a fun way to showoff your town and get some design inspiration from your fellow Addicts. 🙂

Do you want to be featured on the next Springfield Showoff? Post your images to the Addicts Flickr, share them in the Comments below, share your images on our Facebook Page, Link them to our Twitter feed, or email us your screenshots at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see YOUR designs! (Need help with images, just ask.)

Deep Space Homer and the Conform-O-Meter

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Alissa | 52 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Space Tappers!

It’s Blast Off time in Springfield, as the Deep Space Homer mini event has invaded our games for the last week plus. With several new items hitting our games, as well as a few returning back to Springfield. With all of the new items added to Tapped Out I thought now would be a good time to take a look at how all of these items impact the Conform-O-Meter ratings (especially since this might help you decide what to keep out & what to put into storage).

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.

While the Deep Space event brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements, it did bring us a ton of new items to add to our Springfield. Let’s take a look at how all of the new “goodies” impact our rating: Continue reading →

Diary of a Wookiee: Building an Airport/NARA Launch Facility

Posted on January 28, 2016 by The Wookiee | 35 comments

TSTO Space: the semi-final frontier (provided EA keeps adding land). This is the voyage of your resident fuzzball. His one post mission: to explore a design idea, to seek out why he doesn’t have a life or civilization (as in the descriptive idea of being civilized), to boldly go where let’s be honest a lot of people probably have gone before.

Still chuckling at myself for that pathetic attempt to start a post about town design and wondering why this Deep Space Homer Event has me all nostalgic for the famous opening lines of Star Trek. I’m going to blame watching “Deep Space Homer” (S5:E15) and laughing at Barney and Homer during their astronaut training.

Anyhoo… this event has been fun for me so far but getting to the point of this post… all this new NARA stuff has me itching to go over the idea of building your very own airport in TSTO. If that sounds as good as astronaut ice cream to you, go ahead and click more. Continue reading →

Posted on January 25, 2016 by Alissa | 18 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Space Tappers!

It’s time to get our space on, as Deep Space Homer has hit our Springfields! Like all events, it’s not without it’s share of premium content and characters. Of course those premium characters wouldn’t be complete without a questline!

Astronaut Barney is a premium skin for Barney that you can pick up during the Deep Space Homer Event. He comes with a fun 4 part questline, that you may want to hold off on doing until the Event is over…since it’ll stick around for a while.

Let’s take a look at the Turbo Tappin’ version of Astronaut Barney’s questline…

So let’s take a look at this sixth prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield.

Note: I’m doing this a little out of order, since we lost a couple of days with the weekend. I know a lot of you are just about hitting this part of the Event, so I wanted to go over this breakdown. I’ll go back over the next couple of days and break down the other missing prizes 🙂
