Conform-o-meter: Consumerism

Thanks for the replies. I'm none-to-keen on the idea of planting a zillion KEMs. I've got two, and will probably eventually find it ok to put one or two more, where thematically appropriate, but I don't want to farm them. Eventually enough Consumerism options will become available.

I think one problem, though, is that some of the buildings that the wiki refers to as boosting Consumerism, do not do so. At least if you follow their payout icons. Shops that count towards Consumerism, should display a register. I've been keeping track and see that several of the ones in my OP, do not:


Android's Dungeon - Stack of Cash
Aztec Theatre - Stack of Cash
Barney's Bowlarama - Stack of Cash
Ferris Wheel - Stack of Cash
Itchy and Scratchy Store - Register
Jake's Unisex Hair Palace - Stack of Cash
Just Rainsticks - Register
King Toot's - Register
Kwik-E-Mart (x2) - Register
Lugash's Gym - Stack of Cash
Malaria Zone - Register
Sprawl Mart - Register
Springfield Grocery Store - Register
Springfield Pet Shop - Stack of Cash
Stu's Disco - Stack of Cash
Try-N-Save - Register
Turban Outfitters - Register

By the count above, I've only got 10 shops (not the 18 I thought I had). This would explain the low star rating I had. I wonder if this is intentional, or a bug (some of the buildings, Disco and Gym, could be debatable, but comic and pet shops are... Shops, they should count towards Consumerism). If the latter, is there a place to submit bug reports?

I've recently added Lotto 'N' Liquor and when I did my 2 stars improved to 2.5 stars. So that's nice. I need to double-check something though, because I seem to recall when I reaped L'n'L, I got a Stack of Cash, not a Register.

Odd. I just got Herman's Military Antiques and My First Tatoo, stayed at 2.5. I haven't harvested from these yet, though. I'll watch those icons.
