UFO's ratio is horrible

I spend DONUTS on ammo. I average about one UFO in five towns. I also spend DONUTS on gremaliens, and usually drop at least two in each of my neighboreeno's towns. Based on what I see, I think the UFO rate is at least partly tied to your gremalien drop rate. The more gremaliens you drop, the more UFOs you get. Not positive about this, but it's pretty consistent for me...

Did you find you needed to spend on ammo/gremaliens in order to complete things?

Tough to say. I'm a completionist. This game is mostly my only entertainment (I know, pretty sad). I also have a few really great long-time neighboreens with whom I get into dueling volleys. We spam each other with event items - nerd attacks during CoC, gremaliens now.

I'd likely be able to complete without spending, but since I spend there's no way to know...

So as a completionist does that mean you buy everything released, no questions asked? I'm the opposite...I save up all of the donuts I collect and am very deliberate about when I make a purchase. So I'm just curious to how others play differently than I do.

I don't think so. I dropped 140 gremaliens over the last 36 hours, have gotten MAYBE 11 Ufos after visiting 80+ towns twice, once each yesterday and today.

Yes, as a completionist, I buy everything released for the game. I do follow the quests and play as its intended to be played, but I enjoy the social aspects almost more than building my town so I tend to spend more on things like ammo and gremaliens.

Yeah, I don't know. Your rate seems similar to mine. Yesterday I dropped about 237 gremaliens in about 90 towns and got around 21 UFOS which was 11.2 gremaliens per UFO. It's pretty consistent for me. You got 11 UFOs for 140 gremaliens which is about one UFO for every 12.7 gremaliens.

I feel like the UFO ration has dropped this 3rd phase.

Nice. Since you like the social aspect and playing with friends, what did you think of the CoC feature where you could visit random towns? Is that something you liked?

I always have plenty of UFOs. This phase is no different. I've never noticed a lack of opportunity, just a lack of ammo.
