Is the Arnie Pye Channel 6 task what causes a helicopter to appear in the sky? Or is that one of his jobs. Because I can’t stand it when I’m in another town. ---

No, those are his 1 hour or 12 hour jobs, which I don’t do anymore for that reason. Channel 6 program he unlocks is not a job/task and doesn’t require him. When the program is complete, your visiting friends just see Arnie’s face floating over Channel 6, which you can see next to Moleman’s face floating over the Open Air Stage if you enter my town (ekweizn). ---

My Google-fu has failed me and I can’t find a resolution. Any advice?? I’d give it a few days. The official forums are still down. They finally posted that they’re aware of the issue and are working on it, so I’m thinking there’s a big problem at EA overall. ---

FYI, Valentine’s Day update in the App Store now. As a part of the first task, it auto-harvested the corn I had 30 days left on for the full value of the corn. I recommend planting corn immediately before you update or the app forces you to update. ---

I don’t see it yet. I do have 56 or so days left for my corn so I wouldn’t mind seeing that hurried up. ---

Seriously? I have 2 days left on my corn task, if you can get insta-corn now I just wasted 88 days. ---

Man that would be sweet. I don’t have the update and my moonshine will be ready in 20 minutes. Not gonna lot out till I harvest & plant. ---

And my Rainbow Warrior boat disappeared as well. I don’t see it available for sale, so it may have been pulled of their database or something. Looks like roses are 10 hours. ---

My boat and blimp are back – whatever they did, they corrected it. I got the tasks for the blimp now despite the fact that I did those earlier. ---

Thanks for the tip, ekweizn! I harvested the moonshine started corn and after the update corn was done! Should I be greedy and wait for someone to harvest? (Quick! MrKwigbo has corn! Come get it!) Or just harvest so I can start the Valentines quests. ---

I hit one of the farm task buttons and it collected the corn for me – FYI for anyone who’s got corn coming in and wants to get taps on it. I can’t connect to the game right now myself. Urge to kill rising… ---

Urge to kill rising… So are you saying that you shouldn’t tap on the corn yourself or start any tasks that involve the farm if you want to collect taps on your corn? This could be great for me. I am in need of some cash, and I put corn in 10 days ago. Woo hoo! By the way, how does one get an update to download and install? I’ve gone into the game today and nothing happened. No download, no corn… Business as usual. Thanks, and thanks **ekweinz** for the heads up! ---

Never mind… I just realized that you can go to the app store and download the update from there. I never knew that. How embarrassing. I would just get the update whenever i updated every app at once, but I didn’t know you could update just one app at a time. What a maroon.:smack: ---

> [@Stink Fish Pot](#): > > So are you saying that you shouldn’t tap on the corn yourself or start any tasks that involve the farm if you want to collect taps on your corn? I tapped the roses task on the left side task bar and it automagically tapped the corn instead of giving me the option to tap it myself. I didn’t get the pop up that said “Plant roses” or anything. I am connected to the game now and I started the roses task. I have everyone on tasks for another couple hours and the rose task is actually 24 hours, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice. ---

Poop. I was going to try the corn thing but haven’t been able to connect to the server all day. Then I tried to restart my phone to see if that helped. It automatically installed the update and i STILL can’t connect to a server. No corn taps for me… ---

It took me quite a while to connect to the game today, and it immediately crashed. I’m guessing the entire game-playing community is trying to download the new update, so I’m not even going to try anymore today. Question for everyone: Is there any way to build a second Cletus farm? I am thinking the answer is “no”, since Cletus came with the farm, but I thought i’d ask. I searched for the farm and didn’t see it, but I did see the KM, which I think came with Apu, right? So you can build multiple KM’s, maybe you can built multiple farms? ---

I hate it when they start events with a 24 hour quest we just sit through to get to the main event. ---

Yeah, you can only get one Cletus farm. ---

Yay, insta-corn! I’ve got mine down by my Squidport, so tap away. I’m tapping all y’alls. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-simpsons-tapped-out/643231.md?page=127) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-simpsons-tapped-out/643231.md?page=129)
