Curious now that we have roads to riches if people are using the unemployment office to send characters on tasks? (At least those of us still grinding who didn’t cap out our cash). It’s been so long that I’ve collected income and sent everyone on tasks it took me a minute to figure it out. But I prefer manually so you get more money and can send characters on the same task for ease of collection (dance the senior burns for example). I still haven’t brought all my characters back out as I feel I’d have to use the unemployment office but I’d probably still end up ahead in cash. What do you do?

Can you imagine clicking on over 600 characters individually and sending each on a task and that alone would be a nightmare so the best thing is to use the unemployment office :joy:

I use it all the time in my secondary town as it’s kind of a zero-effort place. I have it in storage in my main as I prefer to task my characters manually to things that I enjoy seeing them do. I currently have 507 active characters and 132 in storage. I only task about half of the active ones and let the rest run free. It really doesn’t take all that much time once you get into a groove and it is something to do when there is so much down time in this game.

I send characters on 10, 16, and 20hr. tasks, the ones who have them. I have 3 characters that I send on a specific task because of the payout and one because I like it, the rest get sent on their 24hr task through the unemployment office, approximately 545 characters total, then I have to task JayG and Yahweh manually. I do that daily, the ones with the 10hr tasks twice, some days.

Thanks for all your responses! I’m inspired to bring all the rest of my characters out and use the unemployment office if it becomes too much to do manually! Also appreciate all of those that kept suggesting an additional roads to riches reward. It feels like I’m fully playing the game again after years of not collecting building income or sending characters on tasks, beyond the events of course. Happy tapping!!!

As someone who uses the unemployment office regularly, I have not noticed any type of job rotation.

Are you using the Office of unemployment

I use mine occasionally just to see activity in my town, everyone doing their odd jobs. Also, I have the Hotel Swelldorado at the very bottom left of my town with boardwalk tiles leading out to a detainment area. So half of my characters go have a drink at the Swelldorado and are forced onto the boardwalk tiles and out of the way of my town that gets too congested sometimes.

I still would like more time slots in the Unemployment Office such as 3-, 6-, 16- and 20-hour tasks. Often these times have the best visuals. Also, wouldn’t it be great if the visual tasks were the default when there is more than one task to a time slot for a character?

I use the Unemployment Office all the time. There is just one problem. Assume that you have one of those special tasks that require "Springfielders" to do something and only five are required. Until that task is completed, none of the other Springfield's can be sent on tasks from the UO. They'll be set aside for manual assignment only. Why not fix the code so that when the required number are busy completing the task, the rest can be sent on other tasks from the UO?

I definitely do the daily challenges, including skipping through any that are for SH currencies, because there are Shattered Dreams tokens to be found in there.

I’d forgotten about those. Guess I won’t be giving up daily tasks after all.
