Donuts going missing?
I'm having an issue where some of the time the donuts (or bonuts) I've earned from filling the XP bar disappear after I quit the game.
Is anybody else experiencing this?

In another earlier rollback I believed I broke the spell by buying a premium item. But this doesn't work this time round.
To reproduce, build dozens of bloodmobiles (with xp bonus active). In the middle of placing one, network drops, game goes to the no network screen. Log back in, the bloodmobiles are built, but I don't get the DONUTS for leveling up several levels. Wasted 2 weeks of mining. Very frustrating!
This particular glitch has been discussed here on the forum a number of times in the past. It’s a long-standing issue that will probably never really be addressed by the TSTO dvelopement team. The stop-gap solution, as noted by @EllieGuseman, is to cap the possible negative fallout by limiting the number RTTs placed at one time. (I usually go with 10-15.)
When the Bonus Level Up window appears, if I get awarded only one donut and accept it, I get to keep it. If I get two or three, they'll add to the counter but not to the stash.
Seems to be a broken script and maybe corrupt data in the save in spite of having gotten a rollback to a 4 month old save.
Have you tried the solution proposed above by @168sean168 ? Or the usual nostrums like a delete/re-install? Failing those it would seem that your only option is to re-contact EA.
Yes, I tried it and it unfortunately didn't help.
I opened a support ticket with EA two days ago, so I'm currently awaiting their advice.
Well, good luck.
How was the status so far? I realised that for my current rollback , the donuts issue like what you are facing has not gone away even after 10 days.
It started for me since I rollback. It has been 12 days. A portion of varying earned amounts will disappear as I sync the game.
I've actually waited after opening the ticket to figure out myself when and how the issue appears, because I occasionally get to keep some of the earned donuts. But the issue persists for me too.
1. Level up and collect as many donuts as you wish.
2. Do not exit the game, but open settings go to apps select Tapped Out, select storage, clear cache, go back to your game.
3. Go to your friends screen, visit a town, tap on three people or buildings or whatever the event tells you to tap on. Go back to your town.
4. Yay! Your Donuts are there.
If you get one or two, they're likely to stay. I'm basing this on adding up how many single and double donuts I'm getting from planting Rat Trap Delivery Trucks and then adding that to the previously safe amount of donuts.
So, for instance, if I level up five times and stay with the first picks in the donut lottery, and it produces the following:
1) 3 donuts
2) 1 donut
3) 2 donuts
4) 3 donuts
5) 2 donuts
Then, the total number of donuts is 11. But there are only 5 donuts altogether if counting only singles and doubles. So that's what I'd get to keep, since the game throws out the triplets.
And that seems consistent with how the game behaves. I'm not sure what happens if you get one donut at first and click again and win two; If that counts as one, two, or no donuts.
But the game apparently no longer likes us earning 3 donuts at once.
But in some cases even triples do register, and I'm not sure why. I haven't noticed any definitive pattern to that yet.
My last attempt (farming rat trap trucks) earned me only 14 donuts when it should have been 57 donuts, had they all been counted.
Thanks for sharing. When I played rat trap trucks levels up. Out of five rat trucks. I will lose about 1 to 2 trucks worth of donut.
Good for you Sean! It took forever but Im glad its all better now
Thank you @daved7637397 !
