Township Is Cheating!

[Christina Goins]

I have been playing township now for several months on a daily basis. I participate in my Co op and regatta faithfully. Township is about strategy and time management. But recently i have noticed that township is cheating. For example. Because we are unable to do multiple tasks simultaneously. ..i choose a task. .start it ... then go back to see which task i may want to do next. If it is production of an item..i will go ahead and start production on that item... let my Co op members know that i will be starting that task next... then when i complete the one i am doing i go start that one and collect the ones completed on the production line and complete that one.. then once again see what task i want to do next. Last week i was doing the collect 80 milk task. I choose to do the 132 rubber tree task next so i cleared all 66 of my fields... and planted 66 rubber trees. Rubber trees take 12 hours to grow. While doing my milk task and waiting for the rubber trees to grow...i collected enough jems to purchase the 2x crops booster. I was excited because i only needed 132 of them... and 66×2=132. I was almost finished my milk when i fell asleep that night. When i woke up.. the rubber trees were ready to harvest. I finished collecting the milk. Then went and started the 132 rubber tree task. Again all 66 of my fields had rubber trees. When i started the task and went out to harvest the trees... township swapped out 2 of my fields planted with rubber trees and replaced them with one tree and one tomato!!! REALLY!!! This caused me to be 4 rubber trees short and had to wait another 12 hours to complete the task...Township Cheated. I grew. . waited and harvested those trees.. why replace then just because i planned ahead? . Also last Saturday evening..i was going to select my last task... All of them were going to take too long.. So there was one that was sell 60 hot items at the zoo. So i went to the zoo board to see what the hot items were. It happened to be milk carrots and jam. The milk and carrots both had 15 hours remaining as the hot item and they take 15 mins to sell. So i said yea i can do that..ill just keep selling milk and carrots and ill be able to sell 60 hot items in time... so i go back to the regatta... start the task.. then go to the zoo to place the hot items on the shelves for sale..when i get there not even a minute after checking the board to see what the hot items were. ..the hot items changed to all items that take 2 hours to sell...uggghhh!!! Really!!!... there was no way now that i could finish that task. AGAIN TOWNSHIP CHEATED! !!. I have payed real money in this game and i do not appreciate my time and efforts to be wasted!!! I have read all of the rules... fair play..regatta..etc.. and NO WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT YOU CAN NOT PLAN AHEAD!!!. If it happens again...i will be deleting this game.

Hi Christina

We do start a second task very regularly in my co-op and we never had any problems doing that. I do not know what happened with your crop but I believe I know what happened with your zoo task.

There are 2 timer for the zoo Hot items. I think you confused them. There is a timer for the list of products. That list is good for 7 days and the Hots are choosen in the list. The Hot products themselves change every day at midnight your time. In your case, you look at the time for the list instead of the time for the Hots. Mu guess is you checked just before midnight thus just before the change of Hots.

I always remind my members to double check time before taking a zoo task during evening.

That really stinks what happened to your two tasks. Never heard of someone's field being replaced with something they didn't plant. Perhaps you forgot to clear two by accident? I don't really know how Playrix could change something like that, or for what reason. Who knows? It could have been a glitch.

And Graylady is right about the zoo board. To find out how much time is left for a zoo hot in particular, tap the item and it will say "offer ends in: 1h 3m" (for example) near the bottom of the pop up, which is different from the "updated list in 5d 1h" on the zoo board.

I am loosing game task progress in my regatta. I.leave xompeting in atask and when I come back my task has started over and I have lost progress or the task disappears completely. It really annoying anyone got ideas?

Do you play the game on more than one device Christina?

That is a bummer! I've noticed a few different things during this regatta, but not on the level as you've experienced. As you wrote, this is a time management game, that's a neat aspect of it.

I know trains can arrive and need the same items as the next plane, but this seems to be happening more frequently during this regatta- and in larger amounts. I had an upcoming plane needing tomatoes- and then had trains arrive needing lots and lots of them. Small thing but annoying.

Another thing has been clovers, which I learned to stockpile them to do the play the House of Luck task. The game let me stockpile 50 clovers and letters from friends waiting for last weeks regatta, but for this week I couldn't do that- even though there was a smaller number of letters waiting. LOL, that "loophole" seemed to have closed for me, drat! I also noticed a smaller number of House of Luck tasks as a whole for this regatta as was offered in the past. The game is just making me work for it I guess!

I hope your "glitches" end though, sounds very frustrating.

It didn't let you do what? and what was the message, if any?
"50 clovers and letters" - how many where exactly? (It should allow 50 clovers in HOL and 100 letters in the Town Hall (although it is not recommend to fully fill them))

Hi Kat

Please read this post of mine HERE

It may explain why you could not collect some clovers.

With the hot item i did not Confuse the times. It was early in the day on Sunday when i looked. I know the difference in the times you mentioned. I clicked on the actual hot item.. and it tells how long that offer is good. It says. .offer ends in 15 hrs ...or however much time is left. ..

I was very specific in making sure all cross had rubber trees... and right before i went to select that task....all fields had rubber trees.....i know this without a doubt... Then i go back and the very last two fields had bright green trees and bright red tomato. And trees take 3 hrs...tomatoes take 2 hrs. Rubber trees take 12 hrs. I'm she that had i accidentally planted a tree and a tomato..i would have noticed they were ready to harvest way before the rubber trees.
