Cannot reproduce [10164] Free unlimited population

[DeletedUser651]

This one is a little complicated. There is a bug that lets you get as much population as you want. You can upgrade anything with the population.

The steps:

1. You must have at least 2 free builders.

2. Start 2 level one residences at the same time. They take 10 seconds to build.

3. Before the second residence is done being built, delete the first one.



For some reason it adds extra population when you do that.

If you then delete both residences and repeat, you get extra population over and over.

edit:

You don't even have to delete the other residence right away. As long as you set both houses to build one right after the other you get the extra population. Then if you do decide to delete them both and repeat the process you keep gaining the extra population.

Thank you for your report Bobbykitty

I have been able to reproduce this.

edit: After refreshing the game, the ''free'' population is taken away again.

But you can use it while it is there. You'd go negative pop, but all your buildings could be super upgraded.

It's still a bug of course

We'll investigate. So far, we have been unable to reproduce it.

Edit: Confirmed.

Are we still getting diamonds for bug reports?

 

[Muf-Muf]

Of course - they are credited every few days (we usually reward several bugs in one go, which is not always immediately). They will always be credited before we move the bug report to the "Confirmed issues" subsection.
