Hey guys!! Time for another Event!! As always, this thread is the best place to be for all the best tips, tricks and hints on how to complete the Event to get everything you want. Apologies for being late, I planned to start this up yesterday, first day, but I went to visit a family member who is struggling, but we’re here now, ready to own another event!!!Important NotesPlease be aware, that for most events, after the update, the Donut Confirmation option in the game settings change, meaning you may spend donuts when you don't want to, because the option has changed and you pressed the wrong button-not something you should be penalised for. Muhsterino has provided a thread showing you how to check this. It's the first part hidden by "Spoiler": https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/90074/tips-for-new-players/p1?new=1This is also a brilliant thread anyway that Muhsterino has alerted me to for this message, that I think can be equally useful for long-term players as well as the new players it's "marketed" to.

You can ONLY go for a maximum of 20% so my advice is to NOT spend donuts on the bonus items but craft them instead. The bonus items do not add to your town percentage either. I repeat don't waste donuts (like me) ... wait and craft the bonus items to build up to 20% extra duff. Unless of course you have 100s of bonuts to waste.https://i.imgur.com/MVZ6Nsj.jpgI hope this was helpful :) "chazmanianD;c-1886245" wrote:Did you know that you get the full defensive % even if an object is half in/ half out of the cyan colored boundary? I experimented to make a snakey shaped trench with some corner pieces. Then realized the cyan border is only 3 grids wide, but you can get away with placement as long as part of it is in bounds. Tried with a fence & dragon teeth. Both yielded full bonus % with only partial placement."aabcampos2;c-1886188" wrote:Bart bare bronze statue has a Duff Beer bonus of 0.5%

So I can trade out a lesser amount, for a chance at a greater, without the risk of getting IGC or SH materials. So far I have only had 1500 or 2000 Duff Beers as rewards, I don't know if these are the only rewards that you can get. I have swapped several times when I get 1500, which is replaced by either the 1500 again or 2000.Usual tip to clear all ruffians, especially if they are stuck somewhere. Make sure you have less scraps than it takes to level up Scrap City ( in this case I have 60 scraps, it would take 75 to level up the building):https://i.imgur.com/wKg9dCem.jpgTap on the button to level up the building, you will get this type of message:https://i.imgur.com/HNvmkRVm.jpgCarefully press the DO IT button, it will take you to a ruffian. I used the build mode and hid some objects to see this one. https://i.imgur.com/rVJqzRLm.jpg

Is anyone else having an issue with the corner trench pieces not connecting properly to the straight pieces? One of them connects fine, but the others i'm finding that no matter what i do, there is a gap. Any suggestion?

There's not a gap. It just looks like a gap. The regular Trenches don't rotate 180 degrees so they don't match up with the Corner Trenches on the left and right corners.

I did not notice until I read this! Looks like a gap to me and it effects both ends of the corner. I can see green grass and the cyan bonus area in the gap. Someone with a better device than mine can probably see it more.

If you like to save Daily challenges for act 2, now's the time! Also, I'm saving Scraps because I suspect we'll need to buy the new kind of fences for the defence bonus in act 2.

A good reminder! :smile:

Tip: If you don't send the barflies to finish their first task, Moe can keep his event currency job, which pays 90 beer per 4h

Even if you finish the quest you can still send Moe to the Express for 90 beers.

The new Junk Base can use the same multiplier items from the Mega Playscape. You can just move the Playscape out of the way and put the Junk Base there and have an instant 20% multiplier - assuming you had 20% already that is.
They can even share the items across their bonus zones when placed together, but that reduces the bonus it gives each base.

Nice one - was going to ask about overlapping them. Thanks.

What is the benefit of using the new base station? My playscape is 20% bonus and all the characters can still be used there. Seems this new one has no benefit unless I’m missing something

Agree. Apart from the quest line what's the point?

I have the existing base with 20% bonus and the new base set up with 7% bonus from adding newly crafted trenches to it. Are the 20% and 7% global bonus to the adults and kids working at either base OR each bonus applies only to the ones working at that base ? I think the latter... in which case there are not enough A&K’s to fill all positions in both bases ...?

The bonus only applies to tasks at that site. It's best while you build the bonus to send enough freemium characters to meet the questline and all premium (and anyone spare) to the old site with the higher bonus. Or send them on side quests where the payout is higher, but no crafting scraps paid.
