  1. I have bought a new phone and I cannot figure out how to sign out of the game so I can download it on my new phone.
    Can some one please help me?

    • You don’t. Just load a new game on new device. Play through tutorial until menu access comes up (around Christmas helping with antenna), go to menu, account, log in to email or Facebook you have game saved to, and LOAD your saved game file on the level you’re currently at. Make sure you pick LOAD.

  6. Hello, I have a Digiland DL718M and its compatible but when I start playing the game about 5-10 mins in the screen goes black and exits out of the game. When I get back into the game I have to go back and do last 3 mins doing quests and actions for the characters I’ve already done. Any idea if it’s on your end or maybe my device isn’t up to par?

  7. Has anyone been having a hard time getting sapphire eggs and gauntlets to wrestle? It’s been 4 days in a row and since I do not have class to use I have to wait to have characters get gauntlets, then when I do finally get 4, I activate the wrestling match and use 2 characters to maximize the “likelihood” bar. Once the time is up, beans…Nothing else.

    • I find that it fluctuates in a sort of feast and famine thing – I had periods of days when I wasn’t getting gauntlets or was wasting them all for not getting sapphires, but then I’m currently in a period where it seems to be working out okay. Try not to throw your phone against the wall in frustration as I did for a long time and it should pull through. 🙂

  11. I might have a glitch in the game. I try and use beans to purchase items, but there’s no reduction in my beans when I “buy” items and I’m not getting any of the shields needed to get to level 4 as a result. I’m not sure if I bought too many items to try and boost my level or not, but it’s taking a long time to get to level 4. I’m almost there, but I feel this could hinder my progress for the next few weeks. Thoughts? Bug?

    Like

    • I’m taking a guess here… but did you already buy a bunch of that same item and store them? If so, you’re basically just pulling the stored ones back out.

      The system works so you don’t buy a bunch of items you already own. So to get more… take ALL of that item out of storage… then the system will revert to purchasing them. 🙂

    • Do you play the game via Facebook? Or the Windows Stand Alone App?

      To me… just looking at the message, it sounds like what it says… you may be out of Memory. Or the system it is trying to access is low on memory (possibly at the server). That is something I would not be able to troubleshoot for you fully. All I can suggest is basic steps to help a system when the memory runs low. Beyond that, looking into more technical support for your system itself may be best.

  13. I’m new to forums, so i may have put my question in the wrong spot the first time. Here it is again. Sorry. Im having a similar issue, only its in my android phone. I have everything from the event loaded upand accessible, just not the main questline itself. No matter what i try, Peter wont kick off the event. Ive tried redtsrting, reinstalling, and even switching phones. The issue is bound to my account. It’s Been like that since the Star Trek Second Encounter event. I’ve been asKing tinyco, but they haven’t responded in over 3 weeks. Please fix!

    Like

    • I am not TinyCo nor do I work for them. I am unable to “fix” any players games. I can only offer troubleshooting suggestions for you to try. Other than that, reaching out to them is the only way.

      Here are my basic tips…

      Players will need to be on Version 1.19.0 in the App Markets, so if you are not… go download it (or wait til it hits your market)

      Players will need to have at LEAST District 3 Unlocked and Al’s completed

      Players will only see this on the Mobile App Version, not Windows Stand Alone

      PLAY THE GAME! Items unlock in stages and as you progress, so if you do not see an item it is most likely you have not progressed far enough in the Main Questline to unlock it. Check details below for more specifics on unlock points.

      Like

      • Yeah, I’m not sure anymore. I’ve asked TinyCo through two accounts and an emil, and they have never responded, which is weird since they used to respond in a day. And I’ve already fixed up the Time Traveling Zeppelin, so I’m not that far behind in the game. When it happened during Second Contact, the quest line randomly appeared about two weeks in to the event, so I’ll just wait.

        Like

        • I will ask to see if there is any more word or update on this. I have only see a very small amount of Players report it. Like 2 or 3.

          If all is correct, version 1.19.0 downloaded (from 2/25/16), District 3 and Al’s unlocked, Playing via Mobile download from Google OR Apple/iOS OR Amazon OR Facebook… then it should work.

          Have you tried troubleshooting with your device and Google itself? Ensuring your Google Play is up to date and getting you the right Version? Tried a complete wipe out of the game? Deleted all cache & data, Deleted it completely from device and any back up, Uninstall, Restart device to ensure all is in effect… then Reinstall it and log back into your saved game file? (Make sure it is saved to an email or Facebook before trying this)

        • On a side note… as this just also dawned on me… How many “TASKS” are open and not completed in your Task Menu? Can you list the name and part #s of each?

  15. OK, so a really basic question from a newbie…just started a couple of weeks ago, right at the end of the Star Trek quest. While I did some of the basic stuff within that quest, I really have focused on rebuilding Quahog and working my way through the Districts. (Just finished 4, just starting 5).

    Now that Sir Peter is upon us, I’m missing a good part of the game but I feel like I need to spend my limited time, clams and coins on the town itself. Obviously, if I was willing to spend lotsa time and hard earned cash on unlimited clams and coins, I could enjoy the full experience. But as my job, mortgage and kids’ college loans have a little to say about that, I’m trying to maximize my efforts.

    OK, so maybe this is a ‘fish or cut bait’ kinda question, but should I try to rebuild the town first, then enjoy the quests in the future, or am I missing a good way to get clams by completing the quests?

    Love the site, BTW, as I have found a community of kindred spirits!

    • I would say to work on both as you can. For the Event, you really only need to focus on the Main Questlines each week. You can try to do so and see where it takes you, but on the side also work on your town. The thing is, the Districts are here to stay FOREVER. They have no time limits to them. Where as Events are usually just for that portion of time, then gone. Star Trek was the first time in the History of the game that an Event repeated, but even so not all Characters came back and it was short lived.

      In the end, always focus on what makes YOU happy though. If not doing the Event is no big deal to you, then pass on it. 😉

    • Let me guess, your workers are busy clearing land or making another building? If so, you have to wait. Workers are just like Characters, they can only do ONE Task at a time. Wait for them to finish or spend precious clams to speed up their task, just like you would have to do with any other Character.

    • I used to have the same query – I’d crafted all that I wanted to in the brewery and no longer cared for any of the other items, which I just saw as a waste of money (and space – too limited space for decorations). Every time I tried storing the brewery, it said it was too important to store and I always saw the craftables available to each character.
      BUT… As of yesterdays release of the Grimm Knight event and the release of 6 more plots of land, I guess Tiny Co is looking for ways to help create room, because I just randomly tried to store the brewery and it worked!
      It’s now in my inventory and the suds and tickets are no longer on my task lists when I select a character (and it freed up a lot of room). Just try storing it now. 🙂
