Township Times October 2020

Tell me something. Are your Air Dancer(s) moving slower and freezing up? It may be my imagination but they don’t seem smooth anymore. Oh, never mind, you probably don’t have them out. Perhaps it is still that wonky latest update.

Are we not besieged with new action toys!? In the last little while we have been offered The Rainbow Ride, Star Shooting Range, UFO Carousel, and now that gorgeous Waterfall Ride. I had to do a major lobotomy on my town to work all of those in.

So….. are you going to feed the animals 3,150 times? LOL That’s what it is for me. I think they do this one another time in the Professor’s Experiments and it gets even worse than that. It’s time to put up or shut up if you want to get that last “free” barn upgrade. The person designing these tasks must be a sadist don’t you think?

Correct me if I am wrong but is this the first time we have had two sets of temporary recipes going on at the same time? On top of the Halloween Costume, Pumpkin Chips, Pumpkin, and Pumpkin Pie we were served with Teddy Bear, Caramel Popcorn, Rubber Duck Target, and the Ferris Wheel Cookie. The Professor’s Experiments makes all of that go down easier with the temporary barn upgrades.

Have you ever had a Grand Shazam? This is where you are restocking your factory goods to your minimums and you come to a factory that is one low in each of seven different factory products. Without ever having to leave the factory to fetch an ingredient you flow through and load each box with a different factory product. It’s quite satisfying!

There are still lots of good things coming up in this our biggest update ever. Enjoy!

Regarding the Prof Verne tasks. I am much happier with them. I gave up on the tasks last time, but am happily plodding along hoping to reach the end and maybe even get to open a safe in our current experiments
Oh another thing. I actually think my Air Dancers are smaller Township Times October 2020 870808730

Can't say for sure about size difference, but it's dance shows the program's performance degradation.

My air dancer looks like a sloth wearing an air dancer costume. That said, my jet pack attraction still seems fine and quite fast, which makes me think it was a deliberate change.

I’m not planning to finish the week 3 feed (2450) until after we get the Week 5 task (700) so they don’t have to be additive. These are on my schedule for finishing during the October29-30 2x bonus days.

And yes, I have long suspected that some game designers have a sadistic streak. I also subscribe to the theory that for many we aren’t much more than lab rats to be manipulated.

That said, I think this version of the Lab event is much, much kinder overall than the previous edition.

I dont have the Air Dancer but everything else seems to move normally.

The PVE is quite nice, I dont feel pressured yet I am getting them done within the week with a day or 2 to spare. I only have to feed 2800 but it comes around again with a lesser amount in week 5, so I can take it slow. Im doing mostly milk for butter 3 times an hour and eggs 1-2/hour and I'm 1/6 done yet feel no stress like the last time. Maybe I just understand it finally.

5/6 PVEs were so far exactly the amounts predicted, thats been nice, too. Im sure everyone has noticed that the points increased by 5 or 10 this week, that was interesting.

The regatta glitch seems fixed for me as of this am, but I did not test it by taking another task. 10/12 will be good enough.
