The Simpsons: Tapped Out

wnolan1992

I'll be at about 10,300 after my next login in a bit. Should get the next prize tomorrow, which'll leave me with less than 4 days to get 2 prizes... S'not looking good for me at this point!

I know it has been mentioned about tapping robots only gets you one part and waiting to play the game gets you two.

If you play the minigame and then look for robots there are none really left, BUT if you go to play the minigame and tap all the robots first you still get the same amount in the minigame. I had over 30 robots tapped before the game and had 52 in the minigame so was good.

Spot on with the above, I had noticed this in the last day or so!

I only ever get around 37-40 in the minigame though

I have just over 15,000 parts at the moment! wnolan, you may need a miracle or a lot of donuts

If I have a flash I hit as many as I can then use a flash just towards the end. Gets me my 52!

Good strategy

Edit: Got 49 with that strat!

I just can't tap them fast enough tbh. Because of the colour palette the robots just don't stand out on the screen at all (I have a unique brand of colour blindness :P). Most I've ever got is like 15 without a flash, 35 with a flash. That's why I'm lagging behind.

I should get all the prizes except Skinner I think. I'll be getting a 1,100 bonus later this evening because of a daily task, so maybe if all my daily tasks over the next few days pay out parts I may stand a chance...

I have over 5,800 matter to get to unlock Sgt. Skinner. Only 2 days left and I probably won't get it.

wnolan1992

I'll be at 15300 matter on my next login. I reckon in total I'm yielding 1300 per day with 4 logins. I'll get the hologram, but not Skinner.


I hope they introduce a new way of earning stuff in Act 2 so that SciFighter isn't so heavily weighted.

Only getting 1 matter per robot is ridiculous. Even if it was 2 you might think you're going somewhere.

Happened with the casino event too, iirc. Act 1 was impossible to finish. Aces 2&3 took half the time.

Yeah thats true. I think (i could be wrong) that there was no character prize in acts 2 & 3 of that

I'm up at 22,600 now. Just logging in four times a day and picking up the occasional daily bonuses. The problem is that if you miss a day or two there's little chance of getting to the end.

I only got one daily bonus that gave me matter. All the rest were Future Bucks and robot parts, all of which I have an abundance of because none of the decorations from the printer are appealing to me.

I calculated how many robots I got to click with my system.

I log in, go round my whole town and tap robots (Got 38) then I click on the game icon and click to where you can craft and click the level up button, since I am in between levels it gives me two choices and one is to do it, click that at it takes me to more robots and I picked up another 42 that way. Once I got the message there was no more robots I then clicked the polyvac mini game and got 42.

I also log in, in between the polyvac game and do the first two parts, I have gone from having no chance, to maybe getting skinner doing this!

garbeth

I log in every four hours. Instead of clicking robots in my town I play the game and that give me 80. Same as you MrsF but I don't have to go find the robots. I should get skinner tomorrow

I have never got more than 52 playing the game? I only changed my play recently as it was posted on here to play minigame and not tap robots.

When you tap the polyvac it destroys all the robots in your town, giving 80 (if it's been 4 hours). Then after you've finished playing the game you get the extra 40-50 robot kills.

As I said, never had more than 52 which is weird. How do you get an extra 40-50 robot kills after the game?

When you hit start and before the count down all robots in the town are destroyed yielding 80. After you finished tapping in the game you get your tapped kills (~40-50) from the game robots.

From my experience, tapping robots in the town before you hit start reduces the number of the robot kills immediately pre-game. It appears that tapping in the town offers no benefit as hitting start does the same thing by wiping them all out at once.

garbeth

Yes but when I start to play the game it flashes and I get 80 pieces without having to search my town.

MrsFlushdraw

Anyone doing the monorail as well as the robot game? I just got my second tunnel and I had already discovered the problem that I could not get my monorail hooked together at all as there was a small space and no matter what combo of pieces I used it didn't link together. Just reading about it now and realise it is not me!

https://tstoaddicts.com/2016/08/26/new-tunnel-the-great-monorail-fix-is-in-mostly/#more-40455

I got the second tunnel and decided to pack up all my monorail and wait before I rebuild it. Was waiting to see if they brought out parts for the new Springfield Heights station and then place my tunnels and go for gold!

garbeth

I spent a while yesterday joining my tunnels. Had to move all my SH pieces and I'm sort of happy with it. Prefer when they gave 10 or 20 donuts for completing the tasks.

Do you not think they will do a swanky station? I am worried about doing anything in case it doesn't match up again. I had moved one of my stations as I thought it would help but it didn't help really as I would have to move all my stations. That is why I decided to bin them and build from scratch.

I got all the land for SH now and I moved things so I was left with an area for a station. Reading to see if it is in the making on the Tapped out site

Interesting. I must try your trick.

KKkitty

How do you spend future bucks. I don't seem to have the option
