I feel like there should be a warning when spending a big amount of cash. I was just collecting some buildings income when I accidentally tapped the IRS building and spend 7 million cash. Really not a fan of what happend there, even if I have quite some money left its unacceptable that I doesn't give me a warning, besides I could've used that cash for other things like buying items for my town aswell as getting the redwood tree or money mountain upgraded.

Ironically, you just increased your tap radius which helps avoid accidents like that.

Yet it cost me like over a half of my total cash. Not worth it

Don't quite follow, so just wondering...

Wouldn't that depend on how close his IRS is to w/e building he taps?

Yes, but if he knows what building he needs to avoid, he can easily tap a safe distance from it knowing that his radius will still reach the buildings he needs to collect from.

I agree about the warning. The same thing happened to me except I only spent about half a million. I was tapping something else, but it accidentally selected the IRS building and before I knew what happened, my money was gone. We shouldn't have to isolate buildings just to avoid accidental taps. Because accidental taps can happen anywhere and anytime: while dragging the screen around or automatic scrolling as the game likes to do sometimes.

I tapped my IRS building once and this is what appeared:

Don't you get this message when you tap your IRS building then?

You do but sometimes you tap a bit fast and you double hit the IRS or something else. That's what I had, I hit the IRS without noticing we within a week one I had also tapped the green box.

Why not just store it? If it's not worth the use, what's the point of having it out? I'd say your main options are to just finish it off, or store it. EA took forever to get donut confirm option put in, I would think in game cash one would be pointless. Its on significantly less items in the game. The most expensive ones are the IRS, Swimming Pools, Money Mountain and Redwood. There might be something else, but not entirely sure. I would not want to see this pop up just by setting up channel 6, the farm, drive in, Kwik-E-Mart card, unemployment office or any other action activated with cash. The implementation of this functionality would have to apply to all cases where in game cash is spent. Just like the donut one. Can't have the donut one on just speed ups, has to apply to where donuts are spent, including from the store.

Well i meant the upgrade is not worth the cash. I think its an useful building but in my opinion the tap radius was big enough.

Also I do think its possible to add a pop up when people are going to spend 1 million or more, as that is quite a big amount of cash.

Not suggesting at all that your idea is a bad one. I’d be okay with it. But I think that for most users it’s an idea that’s pretty far down on their list of wants and needs.

I think that every time someone makes a mistake, it's not EA's job to modify the game so that you can't ever make that mistake again. It was a mistake on your part, you simply mis-tapped, no big deal. Just take responsibility and move on. I'm not trying to be ugly about it, but, that mindset is like most people in America.....I don't want to have to manage myself, so make the government manage me for me. Blech.
