I just got the IRS and upgraded it until it was asking for a million for the next upgrade. I'm not paying that much for a slightly bigger range hehe
Ahhhh but when you max the upgrades it changes the skin of the building too.



IRA hehe yeah sorry about that!

The unemployment office lets you send all characters on jobs for a selected amount of time. However, so far i;ve found that it doesn't send everyone. I still have to manually send some characters on jobs even when they have a, say, 8 hour job free.
I have found the same - it only sent about half the available people on jobs! Not sure if is really worth the cost anyway.

As for IRS building - if you fully upgrade to collect everything very easily, that wont leave a lot for friends/neighbours to tap on, right as they can only tap what is available? Apart from vandalising (which I'm still not clear if it is seen as a no-no or not, as some do it constantly and some don't!)

Didn't it say that was at level 9? Is that the max then?
Presumably that will cost many, many millions..purely to be lazy.
Think i'll upgrade it if/when i've got spare cash and there's nothing else going on.

I think the total cost to upgrade it to Level 9 is about 20,000,000.

Does look good when it's at Level 9, though.

Level 9 on the IRS building seems to be the max for now, but it does really speed up collecting payouts.

Still got about 50 million left though. Just need an currency exchange shop to swap money into doughnuts.

IRA!?!

I've fully upgraded my IRS building. If anyone wants to add me, it's robinph123

I could do with more people to drop in on, especially when the next challenge arrives

Whilst that would be superb and something we've all been wanting since day one, I don't see EA going for it as it would reduce their profit margins somewhat.
Having said that, i've won 30 free dohnuts 3 weeks in a row now from the Burns mystery prize box dealy..

so using the "job centre" to put 100 characters on 12 hour jobs...

is quicker, yes but it costs about $10k and generates about $40k. in my head, i was making more from 12 hour jobs whilst tapping each character individually.

is that right?

I'm still unable to put all of my characters on jobs like that.
Still no idea why!!

I'm not sure it costs anything extra to send people on jobs in this way. It costs to send some characters on certain jobs anyway doesn't it? It's usually such a small amount compared to the return it's largely overlooked.

Getting a bit bored grinding monorail pieces and upgrading buildings in Springfield Heights now..
Speaking of which, SH is in desperate need of some land extension! At least make it match Springfield?

Had a look at the update last night and this morning.
It seems that more zombie squishing and crafting crap you collect from them is in order.
Here's hoping the jobs take a sensible amount of time and the 'chapters' are achievable through sensible use..

Apparently if you had the Mausoleum from the last halloween (Burns became a vampire) this will spawn skeletons every eight hours or so (I think)

So worth getting this out of your inventory if you had it (I don't - but Mrs Beano told me about this tip)
