I will have Stampy in about 2-3 days and I did not rush it either. I missed a few days tapping, but otherwise have cleared it most days. ---

> [@Stink Fish Pot](#): > > Question. Why do some of you have very lelaborate Krustyland shuttles, while others have very plain ones? I’ve seen three different ones so far (i think). Mine is just a bench and a very plain looking bus stop. I’ve seen others with a large Krusty face above the seats, and I think i’ve seen two in different colors. Very odd, unless there is a way to upgrade this. There are three - one for 1 or two Krustyland ranking stars, one for 3/4 stars, and one for five stars. > **[Krustyland Shuttle](https://simpsonstappedout.fandom.com/wiki/Krustyland_Shuttle)** > > The Krustyland Shuttle is a decoration that unlocks the Krustyland area.

Don’t forget to log in tomorrow (March 17th). Rumors abound that there will be donuts given out. Not sure if there’s a storyline/quest. ---

Thanks all dor the info on the Kland shuttle and the cash collection after Stampy is earned. Today i made a strange discovery. I have one hell of a time getting into my neighbors towns. I get the Bart picture of him pulling the plug constantly. However, on one of my attempts to click on the Bart and Milhouse icon, I noticed that there was no number in a circle announcing how many people I have waiting for me to answer their friend requests, and there was no “New” above their heads either. When I hit the icon, i went into the neighborhoods, and stayed until i finished. I don’t know if this is something that will work every time, but I liked what I saw so far. Now I have to figure out how to get that icon to look that way all the time. A little over halfway to stimpy. How does one turn the water green? ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > It was an automatic update a few days ago. Didn’t you get it? Apparently not. I’ll check to see if I’ve missed any updates, but I don’t think I have, This seems to happen to me. Quite a bit I miss updates here and there all the time, and then out if nowhere up pops the update. Thanks for the info. ---

As far as i can tell, i am up to date with everything, and still no green water. However i did get 5 donuts when i logged in today. Not bad, but not a bonanza, either. Maybe if you have green water you’ll do better! ---

I have green water, I got five donuts. Sideshow Bob was showing up just as I logged in, so I missed the donut announcement. I just noticed I was up by five as I went about my tapping. I bought a large swath of land over the weekend and let Lisa clean it up rather than continue to hoard it behind the power plant. That was good for four donuts. I might let her clean up behind the plant. I do like the way it looks, thought. It makes me giggle. ---

Check your ‘Confirm Donut Spend’ setting. I think one of the updates turned it off again and cost me 4 donuts. ---

> [@Folly](#): > > Check your ‘Confirm Donut Spend’ setting. I think one of the updates turned it off again and cost me 4 donuts. If EA purposely changes the “confirm donut spend” setting to off, that’s just bogus. It’s a cheap and easy way to trick people out of donuts, but it’s not exactly endearing them to their customers. Thanks for the head’s up. Sorry you had to find out the hard way. ---

It’s an invasion of guinea pigs - a new update makes you ‘catch’ 40 guinea pigs (similar to snake-tapping except that all 40 are on the run in your Springfield). Once caught you trigger a 12hr task for Lisa ---

Anyone know when the current friend point even ends? I finally got into my friends neighborhoods this morning. First time in three days, and it was only when the Bart and Milhouse icon didn’t have the pending friend number in a circle, and the word “new” above the two. I seem to be locked into some sort of weird place with my neighbors. When the change happened (when they gave us the list of neighbors with forward and reverse arrows to move through them), i was just putting my friends list together and had posted my name on a few TSTO websites, so I had well over 20 extra requests pending. When it switched, the number of pending stayed, but the names are gone. I can not send friend requests out any longer, and i don’t see new ones, except my number increases occasionally. Right now, it says “27”, but again, I see no names. I have deleted and reloaded the software,rebooted my ipad, and did everything else i could think of, and I can’t seem to clear out the friends. I think this is why I die each time I try to visit neighbors. Only when the icon is blank am I permitted to enter. Very strange. ---

Does anyone else get the problem where they get a “not enough space on device” on every update when you have 200MB free? I think it is looking for enough space to reinstall the entire set of updates, even if you already have most of them. ---

I think it is looking for enough space to reinstall the entire set of updates, even if you already have most of them. Yeah, I’ve got a lot more space than that free (gigabytes), and it still gives me the “not enough space on device” message. It’s sort of par for the course with _Tapped Out_, so I’m just ignoring the game for now and figure it’ll be fixed with the next update.
