I could use trowels if anyone has them to send. I have 3 Pizza Parlors I would like to upgrade but they take 30 Trowels each!

Do you think GI will do anything special for July 4th? Or maybe not, since it is only a US holiday?

No, it is not how ANY structure is supposed to work. I've never heard of any major issues with the old quarry (that is not to say they are non-existent) but some people reported a similar bug with the terminal. GI CS proved to be useless; they are basically a bunch of random hacks with attitude. Let's hope your last quarry will function properly. Just in case, take screenshots and save all emails. If you continue having problems and they close your ticket or refuse to help (which they did on numerous occasions) you should complain to iTunes. You might get refund. Good luck.


UPDATE ON OLD QUARRY: I now have 4 quarries in my city. Everyday one will shut down and then I will find a new one as far left as you can go. Screenshot follows.

Hey everyone needs some help. Is there a secret to getting the steel details to show up quicker. I have been doing the Shipyard for the past 8 days now and had everything ready before hand and have been on the steel detail part for the past 6 days and have only accumulated 13 of the 30. I have only less than 2 days now and was wondering am I holding my mouth wrong or something. Anyone that could help would be appreciated.

The secret used to be "to collect the steel details before getting the steel bolt." Not anymore, I am afraid. Looks like they fixed it. Prepare for 2 more weeks of collecting. Fun fun fun... not.

Dang that sucks.. So how do they expect you to get all that before the time runs out on the reward???

They don't expect you to finish in time and get the reward, that's the whole point. You are supposed to spend $$$ while doing the quests and then spend even more $$$ on the blueprints you did not get because you missed the deadline. And if you think the drop rate for steel details is bad, consider the drop rate for rulers (zero).

I like your SOS

[ city name: Sprawlville level 60 player: GAB IV from western mass USA need hammers ]

Me too. And that row of decrepit quarries next to the beach looks decidedly Orwellian.

It took me over a fortnight to get the steel details. I got there eventually. The only thing I can suggest is that you build at least 10 donut cafes and just accept you won't make the deadline. I got thoroughly disillusioned with the game. It seems that GI is getting a little greedy and actually spoiling the gameplay. An example I had this evening was a challenge (icon of chap in an orange hard hat) to produce 15 bags of sand. I have one mine which was a recent purchase. Great I thought, 15 bags at 10 mins each, so 2.5 hours to complete at a minimum and when i accepted the challenge the timer showed 2 hours!! I could of course have purchased the bags of sand for zillions of city credits but decided against it. I started doing the hydroplant challenge a couple of days ago and am now on challenge 2 to collect suitcases and workers. Today. I have prepared 24 wooden planks for my containers amongst other things and so have been in and out of the game all day collecting from all buildings and looking out for workmen. My catch so far? 2 workmen and (drumroll please) zero suitcases!!!!

Spoils the game if impossible challenges keep being thrown into the mix (and I haven't even got to the elusive rulers yet :-( )
 
Free gifts and what determines the choice available

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody had worked out the logic of what free gifts are available when you go to give one to somebody. For example, there are numerous people on this forum (me included) who are desperate for hammers so I have been trying to send them when I can but frequently I go into the gift screen and am presented with a trowel but no hammer so I can't send one. There also seems to be a level shown too so for example it will say 'Level 4 trowel'

Any ideas what the levels represent and how the free gifts work?

Thanks
