Big Business - game discussion

[marsm]

Found an annoying bug. I moved my weaving factory into storage to make room so I can move some of my buildings around. Afterwards, I tried to replace the weaving factory from storage and it says I have insufficient population, forcing me to hit the next population cap just to place it down again. I clearly had enough population before putting it into storage.

Anybody else try this and had this happen too? So be warned, don't store your factories in the storage unless you don't plan to use them again for awhile.

Well, it happened to me now. I inadvertently "stored" my farm this weekend by just being too quick and tap-happy, and couldn't bring it back because of low population, which was complete rubbish (because my population levels were high - so I had to go on a major entertainment buildling spending spree to get it back. Painful. To prevent this happening, I just placed to two small buildings in storage to block up the space.

Does anyone find the "special quests" (like the thanks giving one) unrealistic in terms of time? I cannot dedicate 6 days of non-stop play to this game, and I've not come even close to the completing the thanks giving quest. I've built all the buildings, but collecting the items is impossible unless you build stacks of them... I think I'm going to stop trying on these now. They're just annoying.

 

[uberjuicey]

Oh yeah. Those holiday quests are there to get you to spend some cash to get that super building at the end. Even if you stayed awake 24/7 playing constantly, you couldn't make it given the time constraints. I think the only hope for us who don't spend any real money is if they repeat the same holiday quests year after year. Maybe in a couple years, I'll be able to get that super turkey building.

P.S. Protip. The sweet waffle cafe that costs cash to build is totally worth it. I saved up all my cash from level ups, then waited for the 30% off building sales then bought it. It produces waffles that sell for $9100 every 20 minutes. And it only requires dough and sugar to make. That's over 27k in an hour, minus the initial costs of course. Totally worth it in my opinion.

 

[marsm]

At least there's consensus on the quests - a total waste of time and effort.

As for the waffle cafe - I agree that it's a great money spinner - but it does take time to produce the dough (times two) and the sugar (times three); it is the best producer of quick cash though in comparison to the other stuff out there...

New update available in the app store. Looks like we're heading into a christmas based quest/challenge.

Also available are three new industrial buildings once you've attained the necessary level and a new university building.

I built the two Xmas challenge buildings, but there's nothing that can be done with them at the moment... I guess GI are waiting to 'launch' the quest.

What 2 challenge buildings are they and where did you find them. Some have them and some don't. I fall into the some don't category.

There's an ice fortress and a Chistmas sled - the sled does nothing, while the ice fortress says you need to collect letters "from the sled" that santa brings every eight hours... but nothing happens!

They were just purchasable (and quite cheap) in the shop - can't miss 'em.

 

[marsm]

Is the Xmas quest working for anyone? I can't collect anything.

 

[Sugarmagnolia]

How do I get radiant business achievement? I bought dollars to buy the shop they had in the picture and didn't receive the achievement award.

To get the romantic achievement build 10 romantic places.

 

[Sugarmagnolia]

I just looked for the sled in the shop and it isnt there...double checked for an update and there isn't one. .??

Lover of tropics is building 10 palm trees. Farmer is having 5 farms.

Same thing happened to me but with a mill. It was hard times in my town for a while. I didn't move it into storage on purpose though, I clicked to collect coins too fast.
