I feel like I'm missing something here. Donuts or not, how are people getting 100k+ when there are daily caps?
When you earn the final prize the cap doesn't have any effect
Yeah, but that doesn't explain how you get the final prize when the cap is stopping you (or at least it is with me). Though I have realized the one place I can see being able to use donuts to speed it up is with Possums/Lil Lisa. Is that it?

At least a few people have reported that they have never been capped. They can grind out blueprints all day.

Really, OK throw that on the glitch pile with the rest them. How nice that must be.

Is it possible that these people rushed the prizes on the first/second day? Because this was the case over at TSTO addicts, bunny, one of the writers was getting reports of limits she wasn't able to replicate, this made a lot of people presume it was a glitch when bunny herself was playing in a town that had all the prizes, it was three days in before they realised it was programmed that way

If it's really happening why it's just few people so far(I know only one)..
I got jacked on this update. Just did the update yesterday cause I didn't know about it. Doing everything I can to catch up.
I hate non auto updates.
That really sucks, I know how you feel. I downloaded the update Thursday night and figured I wouldn't be able to get through all of act 1. I've been grinding like mad though and now I'm at 42,000. Glad this event is the way it is, this is the first time I haven't updated on day 1 or 2 of an event. Just keep grinding, hopefully everything turns out ok for you.

They either started late and have not reached the cumulative cap or they used donuts to speed up the main prize track (which removes the cap).
The cap is such a lame thing. I keep falling further behind... two clicks and "You're done!". No reason not to let people get through an act early if they play regularly.
I'm at 105k + but i used doughnuts on the last prize but it only cost me 32. I used lisa plant speed that up 16 times 2 doughnuts for 350 blueprints isn't a bad thing. my reason I want my monorail to go around my full Springfield. And i doubt EA will let us buy tracks for in game monies.
Almost 46,000. No idea what I'm doing right but I'm almost at the top of 70 neighbors and I'm neighbors with mopurgular and sandwedgeking
I think I'm starting to understand , but mostly this. I'm up to 49209. So if Mo is the benchmark, I'm a bit ahead of him as of right now.
almost 24 hours later I'm up by 8940. Does that sound about right, new total is 58149.
Yeah that sounds good. By the end of the night I should be at about 54,300 and you were a little over 3,000 ahead of me yesterday.
ha, I didn't realize I was the benchmark for awhile. I should admit that I was speeding up the recycling plant a little bit and then finally caved and sped it up all the way to make it to the bonus rounds.
I think I've gotten about 6 bonus pieces so far in 2 days. Hoping to have a decent amount more before Act 2 starts. 8)

Should have the last station pack tomorrow. I've been averaging one prize a day so I should get the last one in time to get some bonus tracks.
