> [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > Is anyone else glitching out like crazy? Now, more than a month later, they finally fixed it. Whew, it was getting annoying having to hunt the entire map for completed jobs. I think some things are still broken, but they fixed the majority. Like One Night Stan’s is the place that’s supposed to make crosswalks, right? ---

I think so. I forget. I know it’s the gray building near my house farm. They took tuxedo Krusty’s 12 and 24 hour jobs away. ☹ Stonecutters Krusty it is, then, I guess. There was a huge update yesterday, but nothing happened. Probably prep for Halloween. ---

FYI, The dump/ recycling plant / railyard is giving “double points” on blueprints until Oct 2nd, and is NOT cutting off after the donuts - just keeps cycling back. I’ve run 15 donuts so far this week - and a metric shit-ton of unused monorail tracks ---

Ugh, I can’t be bothered to do almost all of the minigames and stuff. I’ll do find Maggie and tap the turkey and Lisa lives on the eliminator, but I just don’t care. And when I have a brief break? I just try to avoid the game altogether so I am not burned out when the next grind event starts. Like I think I’ll take off until Halloween drops. I have 4k donuts and a buttload of cash. I need my real life sanity more than 10 more donuts and clearing my house farm. I did buy Jesse. With the rebate, he wasn’t a bad deal even if I didn’t NEED or WANT him. But I’ll get any slightly interesting character under 100 donuts. I’m super annoyed because that self-reliant house is back. I bought it and it disappeared when my whole town got messed up after one of the event take down… Whichever it was where we got Belle, I think. So I would have to buy it again or go to ea support, neither of which seems appealing. I do recommend it as a buy. Cheap, fun, not too big. I could also go for some more Spucklers, but I guess Brandine is never going to get knocked up again. ---

Man, I am usually on the ball with the junkyard getting my 5 donuts per week. This week I dropped said ball and thought I already had my donuts and haven’t been in the game for 3 days and now I’m way behind on all the extra donuts. DANGIT. ---

OK. Update just hit on Android. For me, it was an approximately 782MB download. Be on WiFi for this one! It doesn’t seem to be doing anything, but all my characters are busy for the next 20 minutes or so. ---

Ugh, there’s a bug and it’s apparently not just me ([Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/tappedout/comments/743753/anybody_else_stuck_here/)). Lisa, Bart, and Milhouse are supposed to unlock costumes after several 6s tasks. They don’t, so you can’t progress. After I got most of my idiosyncratic bugs fixed, too. Looks like 2 lanes of land on the right (e.g. southeast) are new. ---

Bug patched. Mediocre prizes from what I can tell (a lot of crafting is stuff we already have.) I like the concept overall, but am sick of this style of event. Some of the characters are amusing and the tasks funny, but I liked trick or treating and I’d be FINE doing that every year. ---

You weren’t kidding. I went and looked at the crafting list and I “already have one of these” with Wolf Rock and Werewolf Flanders. Perhaps others as well. ---
