Big Business - game discussion

[ncrate]

I am planning on starting the hydro plant, but have a few questions: 1)15 paper in the WH- do I have to have it all in there at the same time (not use it after it is made until I reach 15), will it disappear after 15? 2) The same goes for milkshakes and the cookies? 3) Aluminum- all 40 at one time? Pre-made?

Yes you have to have all items in there as requested per task. The items will disappear after you complete the task.

I see that in a couple of builds (Eiffel Tower and Commercial Port) there is one task that says "Collect 500 Energy." To date I have not seen how you can collect energy. Am I missing something really basic, or does the ability to collect energy only start when you start the task? The only energy I see in the game interface is up on top (the 25/25 thing). The only time I have had to use that energy is on special tasks like say "Meet 100 Journalists" in the River Bridge construction. If I don't have a similar task active while the task kicks in for the ET or CP, how do I go about collecting energy?

Thanks for your help!

Yes you use the energy bar you mentioned. You open the left side icon and tap collect 25 times. The energy bar will go to zero. Then you wait until there is more energy to collect more. Three minutes for each unit of energy. You can only collect it when you get to that task.

Need help!! I half way thru my time allotted with the Eifel tower thing. Bought a truck but it's not in my garage - it says 0/1 - I don't see point of using my last 6 drills if I don't have access to my truck... Any ideas???

I am assuming the 0/1 is under the truck you bought. If so then it is 0/1 of occupied trucks. When you use it then it will show 1/1. I hope this helps.

Do you need drills OR Pumps for quarry? We cannot give you pumps. You get them from terminal, visiting neighbors cities, and occasionally from daily bonus.

Here I sit 24 hours after starting the hydro plant with only 6 workers found and zero suitcases. I was ready for this, but am still disappointed. Steps one and two took no time at all... a dozen cookies, shirts, and shakes clogging the WH along with 20 something aluminum. I guess that I just don't have the luck to play this game....

I just have a question...how often do the special industrial building offers come along? I am really interested in the pharmacy but don't have the CC right now.

I've been playing right around 6 months and I don't remember seeing the pharmacy offered yet. They've offered special buildings on average about 6-8 weeks but only a few at a time. I've seen the bakery, waffle shop and tea shop twice during this time and grabbed up the bakery on the last offer. Bakery is necessary for a River Bridge task. Much faster to make apple pies than chiffoneurs.

I have the pharmacy but can't say how long ago it was up for sell. It has been sitting in my inventory for a while now.

Thanks y'all! I just don't have the CC right now and don't want to spend anymore really money right now. I am asking all family and friends for iTunes cards for Christmas lol.

Do you have your port open? If not try to get it done as this is a good way to build up your cc. I haven't spent any real cash on the since June when they messed up the happiness levels. As of now I need over 800,000 happiness to get my next factory, so until they fix that I will not be spending any more cash on this game. I can't expand my city anymore so what is the point? But I still enjoy playing and helping with the ships.

Naw I had the same issue a month ago. Those alums you have won't help you. I have only 4 alums of the 40 left. Yup been like 4 weeks now since I started. The suitcases are the worst, but after about 2 weeks they drop fast, or I should say the 10 days so GI does not have to pay up a safe. Me I don't care, I lose the safe from the port so I am in no rush to finish anything.

I'm stuck on the Hydro and have been for a few weeks. Previously I worked hard on completing the achievements so when it asked to complete an achievement I have to either complete the Hydro (impossible as I'm on the hydro challenge), 200 land, way off that or the port fully upgraded. So will remain on the hydro "challenge" quite a few months!!

On another note how many continuous days do you think the daily play award will run, I'm up to 40 now!
