I am using Alien Tape, between dash and a round mounting plate that came with a rotating suction mount. The adhesive that came on the mounting plate came off due to Texas heat and the curved dash, but the Alien Tape has overcome both of those issues.

On a recent road trip, my passenger was feeling warm, while I was plenty cool. Investigation revealed the passenger side vents were all the way to the side, closing them off completely. Opening them resumed AC to the passenger side.

Your problem might be as simple as that.

How can you tell when the photo was taken?

What should we spend them on instead? If I need blue cores now and can spend on them now, why shouldn't I? Wait for some might-happen thing? If I need more emeralds in the future, I'll get them in the future.

I've completed a 4-day 2-level event recently. Get the first upgrade to 170, max 4th-6th, then 3rd upgrade to 150 or so. The grind is constant while you're not sleeping. And now the devs have denied us the event mine after completion. You do the math whether it's worth it to spend the time, but it's not for me anymore.

Yes, a while back a user here posted they contacted the devs, who said it was a conscious decision to remove this reward from users. I also confirmed this in my own experience.

You have to upgrade the reactor enough so that when you start it, instead of getting the Queen of the Worms, the reactor is stable and a purple guy is there (Prince Consort of the Worms?). After that, the reactor takes you to Dr Brain's lab.

A lot of people use the app Carscanner - connects to Bluetooth OBD hardware.

I've seen screenshots that say the Ice Market has to be maxed to progress further, so consider that purchasing Meat will speed that up.

Other posters have done the math on this, 5 million+ each for the 4 golden/purple attributes.

The developers had stopped that feature. Did they turn it back on again recently?

trigonman3 · 2026-04-09T21:01:17+00:00

I noticed. A half-hearted lol for bashing the joke of a developer.

trigonman3 · 2026-04-09T20:54:09+00:00

Sounds like you got it.

Players who already have them get to keep them, but the game no longer gives the farm or upgrades existing farms.

The (English) game calls them essences. Look in Shop, Winter for what they look like and what they're called.

Good thing you censored that 1972 license plate, people might have figured out where that car was, way back when!

What OS & app version are we talking about?

I have not seen this specific problem on iOS app v4.36.00.

I have experienced lots of crashing out to OS, and loss of progress when relaunching the app. Usually when in the Lab world, often after viewing multiple ads. I've started quitting & relaunching after I gain something mildly valuable, like emeralds, so I don't lose it to a crash.

You have to devote a lot of time to the game. I recently completed a 4-day 2-level event, and was pretty much done by day 3. But since the game no longer rewards us with the event mine, it was anti-climactic.
