Thanks for the explanation :thumbup: I was wondering...

LP - forgive me if these questions have been asked in another thread (when I last checked I couldn't find anything), but do neighbours benefit from your visits (ie. Do they get probes in return?), or do they just benefit from finding the gremlins that you have planted in their towns?Also, when squishing aliens in my own Springfield, is there a notification telling me that I got all of them (like during stone cutters with the spies?)You seem to be able to get this type of information so I thought I'd ask you :D (But if anyone else has the answers, please let me know here!)Thanks!

curious too, I waited too long in COC to figure it out, Halloween prizes are my fav but I did finish coc with 125000 of gold

Hopefully in the next few days we'll get some data ... like, Is there a specific number of crawly aliens generated in my town per hour (like the bunnies at Easter)? Is there a maximum that will be in my town at any one time? Because it's easier to wait and count as I squish them, than it is to hunt through all my town and wonder if they're generating at the end of the town I just finished looking in. It's like a never-ending task.If I squish all the ones in my town, that doesn't take away what my neighbors see when they visit, right? (Is there a limitless supply to whoever visits my town, or do I "run out"?Do I get more points for one that's on someone's face? Is that some special thing? (... other to the face-ee, that is.)I AM pleased to discover that we apparently do not need to leave our buildings or characters uncollected. Wheeee! Money party!

If they do stop it you split the prize!

Thanks LP. I'll keep checking back!

Ok, thanks to you guys for additional information about alternate probe sources. This is my first Halloween event, so I'm still getting used to the flow of things.

I have already got 1420 ish probes and the game hasn't been going a day. :D

if there is a 90 per day limit, how did you get so many? Did you buy the license and the portal? Just curious, and thanks!

Most of the probes you get will be from your own town, at 3 per alien squished.

I have 1496 probes atm.

I got probes from:
trick or treat bags(randomly)
blowing up spaceships
squashing Grem-Aliens(2 probes each)
sqaushing Rigelians in my town(3probes each)
squashing Rigelians in friendtowns(1 probe without license, 2 with license)
planting Grem-Aliens from friendtowns(recived 2 probes from each Grem-Alien)
freeing characters from Rigelians(3 probes each)

I think that was all the possible ways, except for that portal which I have not bought.

Sorry but I'm still confused as to how I tell how many probes I've used. When I tap on the '?' in my friend's town it just shows the large, 3 panel Tree House of Horror box and nothing about the number of probes.

LP, you might need to be less subtle with your infographics.

Anyone notice you can tap your neighbor's name on the leaderboard and go directly there? Convenient!

After the 90 probes received from neighbors, is there any point to visit the rest of their towns? (With the exception of getting money, I guess)

I also have the same question. Neuro, now that you're a mod perhaps you could be more willing to help instead of making people feel they don't understand something (by using so many yellow arrows). I also don't have a counter. Instead of he "i" button, mine is a "?" Which takes you to the same three panels but no counter.
