Wait, are you sure about that? The icon always looks the same to me, whether if stock is full or almost empty

Yeah I just looked and confirmed the icon looks the same no mater how much stock you have - saw it on one that was almost empty and another that I just filled and there is no shading or anything - just the icon.

It DOES disappear if the item is completely empty but other than that it's an icon.

Alternately! You could give 2-3 bucks to the devs via IAP, and ACTUALLY give the rest of the money you might spend to ACTUAL charities.

Some people might call "sad" the fact that there's a lot of countries in the world where a dollar can feed somebody for a day.

Just a thought...

As you gain more bitizens, do the number of missions increase?

What are you asking, exactly?

You can build new floors with businesses and assign bitizens to jobs.

The number of elevator riders seems to stay the same.

Its pretty hard for the elevator rides to go up, like 10 seconds after the elevator is at the lobby someone shows up.

Tip here:

If you are quite high (10+ floors) then you should think about deleting "older" floors (ones with less stock for all items) and then build something else from other category(recreational=paintball arena=lots of stock) or if you would like "upgrade" it then simply from "old ones" category


I, myself have 21 (2 in construct) floors with capital of 20000 right now(was 120000 before 2 floors), and 1 elevator upgrade (from kidthekmart i skipped "50bux=100000, but elevator upgrade is a must)

2. If you find yourself with jobless bitizens, then get roughly the double of the amount of money needed for building 2 next floors(20th floor 60000 then get roughly double of it to build two floors) . Advised to do before night, then they could
build up (if you dont check it 20+ times per day like me, then anytime )

I don't really understand any of this.

1. You're going to end up with all business types anyway, surely it's better to put up with the low stock ones while you're in the early stages of the game and don't need much money from new floors than later in the game when floors are incredibly expensive?

2. What?

I have a new empty residential floor on floor 26. For the past 24 hours no one has gone to this floor, so I'm pretty much stuck. I have no unemployed bitizens to put in my new stores.

I've upgraded the elevator once and completely closed the game numerous times, but still no luck. I play the game for around 20 minutes at a time 7-8 times a day.

Any suggestions ?

If you're that desperate just click on the apartment and spend 5 bux moving people in.
