Another game save erased? What did you do to loose it? Any word on when the update is going live and does it fix this issue

[Tonyzorz]

I am really enjoying the game but is it just me or is the game sucking up battery life way too fast?
Maybe I'm just playing too much...

It's just a matter of probability. You gain more chances for diamond/gold/coal/silver to show up and thus, decreasing your chances to get iron/stone.
Just buy them from the store, you should have plenty of coins.

On the topic of mining, the 36 dirt achievement is bugged. So is the resources achievement.

I'm loving it so far! I just have one question that I hope doesn't make me sound too stupid

I'm finding lots of buildings that read "collecting X takes no time." What does this mean? I haven't noticed anything taking time to collect…

Anyway the clarification would be super. Would like to know what this stuff does before I use the resources to build them!

When you go into farming, you start off with a 24-move allocation. (You can increase this later on, so I'm not sure if is IS 24 that you start with, but you get the idea)
Every move you make takes one away - but with those buildings, the corresponding matches will be "free" and not cost anything.

Farming is limited to a number of days. Every turn deducts 1 day from the season. If you have a building, for example, that says matching chickens takes no time, then of you match chickens it is a free turn and no day is deducted from the season.

Is there a chart somewhere that lists ALL of the buildings and requirements for the entire game? This way, I can see ahead of the raw materials needed to gather that would be difficult find later in the game (like dirt and iron)?

There isn't one that I know of, but I could always make one, if there is demand for it.

We are working to fix the problem and will submit the update to Apple any day now. It seems that in some occasions, on iOS 5.1.x, usually while syncing the game to the iCloud, the save gets erased. At the moment the only way to proceed is to reset the progress and start a new village.

Deep apologies for the inconvenience. As soon as the fix is ready we will let you know.

That may be true. It happens after I had my iPad connected to the power adaptor and in wi-fi over night. That is when it usually syncs.

It would be great if you game developers consider cloud save.

Here is a helpful article with a tip for developers: http://www.littleherogames.com/

It points out what you can do to test your game with a smaller audience before releasing an eventually bugged game worldwide.
