After that its 30 books and 1500 energy...

I'm down to 30k population, unfortunately I have a life and its taking far longer than expected to do this...

Anyone know what the new achievements are?

This process is killing me. I am crawling down from 73k. I am now down to 69k, I estimate it will take months to get to zero. Sigh. I don't think I will have the patience to wait.

I'm now under 77k don't let me catch up to you Nigel

This process sounds endless

Hey that's the fun of it. If it were too easy or quick you would be done and the fun stops. Thanks for the heads up, I upgraded my college and started the engineers. wow ten at 10 hrs each. Nice to get an early start

Challenge is that we need avocado so I need to upgrade terminal to get vehicles that will get them. Therefore I am working on drivers. So many different things to do. And do t worry, I will keep working on getting population down. Thanks for the motivation.

Hi,

I am currently working the eiffel tower quest where 500 energy has to ne accumulated. How does this work? I cannot do anything with my energy bar currently. Do I have to wait until a new event occurs where I have to use the energy bar?

Go to the icon that tells you what the quest is. Where it tells you to get 500 energy is the word help. Clicking on help takes 1 from your energy bar and adds it to what you need to achieve. Keep taking until you run out and then let the bar accumulate back up. Hope this makes sense.

Ha, never thought it would be that easy...
That's what you'd call don't see the forest for the trees...
Thanks for helping out!

Will complete my admin building and regions in a few hours... then the slog of the newsletters begins... gonna build some newsstands when I acrue some cash; what's the 500 energy for and how do you 'gather' that?

22 newsletters in one day... just three to go.

Has anyone else noticed that GI is being extra stingy with the golden keys? It is so long between keys that I am not sure my counter goes up when I finally get one! Took a screenshot last time to compare the next time I get one.

How many news stands do you have? You are lucky. It took me a whole day to get my first one! I have 10 news stands and when and if I get one, I only get one.

I ran off nine newsstands... I think I was really lucky, because I know from other GI games, that they are super stingy... my last two newsletters, came from one "haul".

Think i worked it out

After a lengthy period of time, GI have finally reverted back (it's taken a few weeks, possibly even a month) to me on the ticket about the "radiant business" quest - UK_Kiwiguy finished this quest, as per the image, that states "Build two sun cafes". I have built four... so I contacted GI implying that there may be a problem... GI are categorically stating that building two sun cafes is not the requirement for completing this quest... I'm at a loss!

See attached photo of achievement. Notice that achievement says solar cafe instead of sun cafe. When I open my building it says sun cafe. The problem could be that GI can't remember what they name their buildings! So tech looks at achievement which says solar and not sun. You can use my screen shot if it will help.

I have 2 flags and didn't receive the achievement. I think you need 3.
