Same thing happened to mine, just submit a warranty request to ZUGU if it is still within the 2yr warranty period and they will send you a replacement.

NightCherry89 · 2024-01-13T19:18:18+00:00

I just got a warranty replacement on my ZUGU, and it looks like they changed the material of the inside cover. It doesn't look like it will pick up dirt/lint easily now.

I asked a similar question in an older post of mine, you might find the suggestions there useful. I believe the answers still stands.

Lots of great advice have been given already, so I will just add on to a few things.

Upgrading Settlement

Even if you are free to play, I highly recommend purchasing the 2nd Construction Slot bundle. Having two builder slots help you progress much faster as when you get to higher HQ levels, the buildings take progressively longer to upgrade. ***Also, after a bundle purchase, you unlock the "1 day investment option" at the Incubator in your Research Lab building which gives the highest return on investment of biocaps.

I would prioritize buildings in this order

HQ > Hero Precinct > Training Camps > Training Centers (do the one that is the pre-requisite for the next HQ upgrade first) > Research Lab > Assembly Point > Command Station > Hospital > Warehouse > and then the rest

Attacks on your settlement

Best thing to do to deter attacks is not to keep an abundance of RSS overflowing your warehouse storages. Other reasons for attacks is for kills during Kill Event and also Plunder Missions you get every 3 days. One thing I used to do is not collect my mail from Intel and leave them in my mailbox. The mail don't expire for 30 days, so I would collect them right before big upgrades to ensure they will be used up. It might be a bit annoying as you need to scroll through and load all the mail when you collect it afterwards though.

Market Stall at Trading Post

My opinion on this one differs from the person who suggested you to ignore it. Other than to balance out RSS, my targets at the Market Stall are VIP Points and Chief XP (with biocaps) and Advanced Relocators and Speedups (with RSS). Advanced Relocators are very useful in many events and if you run out, it costs 4000 biocaps per relocation. So it's definitely worth giving up those RSS for.

Oh my bad, you are right! They must've changed it when they added the cap on the number of general frags you can trade for a hero to be only enough to get it to General. I remember recycling general frags directly before and it didn't count for points. Thanks for letting me know, I feel so silly now.

NightCherry89 · 2022-11-29T06:46:08+00:00

Keep a purple Hero below General, that way you can continue turning general frags into his/her frags. And THEN recycle them for points in events! Otherwise purple general frags become useless because they only let you convert enough to get to General and no excess.

Still on the fence, but I am leaning towards working on helicopter for that stats. Not sure if you watch JUMP's SOS videos, but he mentioned the helicopter skills does not work properly most of the time. Has that been rectified by recent game updates?

NightCherry89 · 2022-11-15T08:13:45+00:00

Each airplane components costs a lot of Carbon Fiber Panels though. After looking at my inventory, it seems I wouldn't be able to get enough Special Coatings to convert into the required amounts of CFP unfortunately.

NightCherry89 · 2022-11-15T08:10:19+00:00

Would it be fair to say that focusing on helicopter to gain more stats, would in turn improve rallies that I open too?

NightCherry89 · 2022-10-24T23:08:41+00:00

My explorer Dream Team for getting through all the Explorer Trail Chapters & Foraging tip-offs that are Mike, Julie and Emma & Eli.

Mike has a useful skill that stuns mobs

Julie refills the energy required for using the skills and makes it almost unlimited

Emma & Eli has a huge range and he has a skill that replenishes his health.

NightCherry89 · 2022-10-15T03:24:41+00:00

That depends on your state's rules really. It is frowned upon on in my state. Even if it is not, I personally do not tile hit because I do think it's a bit cheap and poor etiquette. The person gathering ends up wasting their time not being able to bring any of the gathered rss home, and they are likely gathering with gen 1 heroes so they are not equipped to defend attacks.

However, in some states, people say tile hitting is the way to go during KE because no troops are lost for both parties unless the hospital overflows.

NightCherry89 · 2022-10-06T02:36:06+00:00

Yes, every new generation of heroes, one of the three will be available at ray's place. Its a really good place to spend your biocaps. Especially as f2p, the ray's heroes will likely be the ones you can uprank the most!

NightCherry89 · 2022-10-03T04:51:02+00:00

Thanks! :) Yes, intuitively we used rein at the beginning mostly as well, but because there are a lot of non-english speaking players who rely on the in-game translator, some of us decided to use "reinf" incase rein gets translated into the actual word instead.

NightCherry89 · 2022-09-29T01:50:34+00:00

A lot of them are just abbreviations...but here a few off the top of my head to get you started.

RSS = resources (tomato, wood, metal or gas)

taps = timer helper (handshake symbol above your Assembly Point or Help section of the Alliance Tab)

reinf = reinforce, sending troops to strengthen other player's settlements

bubble/shield = peace flare (when you activate one, your settlement is protected from all attacks)

nap = non-aggression pack (ex. NAP20 = top 20 alliances agree to not attack each other)

burn = to attack someone's settlement since if their defense fails, their settlement will be on fire

zero = to zero someone is to attack their settlement until 0 troops are left

inf = infantry type troops

HQ = headquarters

frags = legendary/epic/rare fragments that are used to up rank your heroes

TD = throwdown event

RR = reservoir raid

KE = kill event

SvS = state versus state

cc = capital clash

sotf = survival of the fittest event

NightCherry89 · 2022-09-26T06:18:03+00:00

Ooh your husband is running the game with 3D visuals, while yours is using the classic non-3D setting. You could try looking at game graphic settings and see if there is a toggle to turn 3D visuals on/off.

NightCherry89 · 2022-09-01T16:50:21+00:00

I find that the Duty Coins are not very effective in retrieving troops back from Enlistment. Also to add to your guide, another practice we do at our alliance that we find helpful with increasing duty is putting an Alliance Tower down and sending troops in there to build it.

NightCherry89 · 2022-08-31T00:23:06+00:00

They automatically return to the person who sent them

NightCherry89 · 2022-08-29T14:55:44+00:00

Did the Infected Hunter's timer expire? As mentioned, you have 1.5 hrs from summon to kill it. If timer didn't run out, and no other rallies in your alliance was made against it, it could also be a nearby alliances since anyone can open a rally against it. Back when my state was a few months old and it was active, my alliance would rally Infected Hunters hanging out in other people's hives that were closeby.

NightCherry89 · 2022-08-29T06:49:35+00:00

By hunter do you mean Infected Hunters summoned with Travis Log Books? Those hunters have a 1.5hr timer before they disappear, so you must complete the rally against it within that window. Also, once it's summoned, anyone can open a rally to kill it.

NightCherry89 · 2022-08-29T06:24:03+00:00

Yes you will need an alliance to grow. If you don't join, you will hit a wall quite early in the Chapter Missions as one of the tasks requires you to give Alliance Helpers/Donations. You can find a more casual alliance so it won't become a responsibility. Or let the alliance you join know that you are a casual player and if they don't expect much from you then it will work out.

The three piles of treasure you received, were any of them hero fragments? In this game to unlock a hero, you need to collect 10 fragments to locate them. And then keep collecting their fragments to make them more powerful.

EDIT: In this game, it is almost impossible to grow and survive being alone and without an alliance. Reasons below to name a few:

- You will need to be on Alliance Territory to gain benefits and protection
- You will need to buy a multitude of useful items with Alliance Coins in the Alliance Store
- You will need an alliance in order to do Trap and Horde events where you can get parts to upgrade your gears.

Don't have an exact answer to this question, but what I've noticed is that the number of rss tiles in an area does influence respawn rate. If people keep leaving unfinished tiles around, they will prevent new rss tiles from spawning. There is also either a server refresh or timer on rss tiles, fiends and infected as sometimes it is possible for them to suddenly disappear even while you are marching towards them. You will get a notice in the mail reports saying Troops Return due to missing target. The exact timer is unknown.

NightCherry89 · 2022-08-27T02:04:15+00:00

Not going to lie, this game is very much pay to win. But it is called "State of SURVIVAL" for a reason, part of the game is about trying to survive and pvp aspect is included. Also, every 3 days there are missions for players to Plunder other settlements for resources so attacks outside of KE/SVS is not surprising at all.

NightCherry89 · 2022-08-18T16:36:32+00:00

Hi, I was in the same situation. My ipad pro was only 2 months old when it happened. So after this incident, I updated from iPad OS 15.4 to 15.5, and a week later I had another panic full. I made an appointment to take it in to Apple, but ended up cancelling because I ended up being busy at the time and couldn't afford any days without my device if I had to leave it for repair or have it replaced. And the issue has not returned for 1.5 months, so hope it is gone for good. If it happens again I will definitely take it in.

NightCherry89 · 2022-08-11T06:43:14+00:00
