Constant Bart screen

So I've beeb playing since late November and I haven't hit the first item limit warning or anything. 2,000% multiplier about 170 characters. I play with a good-great connection on wifi.

Anyways lately I cannot build kwik e marts to donut farm without the Bart screen, losing all my donut progress, and ultimately wasting an hour (like just barely) trying to collect XP and I lost 75% of the donuts on restarts. I quit bothering when I tried to build new ones and got the Bart screen 4 more times. Only when I farm does this ever happen, and I force myself to go painstakingly slow and still I just get frustrated to the point I want to throw my iPad or at least smash it against my forehead.

I nuked even. Instant regret nothing changes. If all I had on my map was 30 kwik e marts and I touched them I would have same issue.

So this isn't an "I'm quitting" thread but it certainly is a wtf EA you really don't want me to enjoy this time trap and ultimate shit show of a game. Is there anyone who can offer me advice to get my sanity back ?

    Did you attempt to harvest all at once? Try to take it slow and harvest in small sectors. Also it is good to clear your device cache frequently, especially when you are harvesting.

    I have reinstalled in a few times, and used IRS lvl 1. It doesn't matter how fast pickup is it is literally the act of completing builds or building kwik e marts that puts it into a tailspin. It is true that if I collect KEM 1 every 5 minutes or so I can manage but that's hours I don't have

    I see it could be a device running out of resources. I suggest you don't build so many kems at one go. Build a few, then let it start then build a few and so on.

    As @168sean168 said: maybe you're building too many at once. With a 2,000% multiplier you shouldn't need to build many to be swimming in donuts.
    Do you have the XP Collider going?
    In my "weakest" town with a 459.35% muliplier and building 35 KEMs every 4 hours I get about 30 donuts a day.
    Let's make sure you're doing this right: Buy KEMs. Wait 4 hours. Tap KEMs to complete. Sell KEMS. Repeat.
    Furthermore, the IRS tap radius is irrelevant. That's only for collecting from buildings and characters, not buying buildings or completing builds.

    I build about 300 KEM at once, but the number shouldn't matter as I only collect Xp from one at a time anyways.....I only mentioned tap radius because I thought money collection at one point could be an issue.

    Frosted I'm going to have to try rat trap, I hadn't been because I am still using cash to buy land......and I heard that causes Bart screen and you lose more donuts lol so I'm scared to bother
