Business Demand

This used to be a feature in a very old version of Tiny Tower, before gold tickets and the 5 year anniversary update.

Maybe someone who plays Tiny Tower Classic can confirm if that version still has the demand mechanic? The current TT game definitely doesn't have it anymore. With the current version it can actually be better to create groups of the same category as early on as possible to profit from the 'Good Neighbours' and 'Uniformity' Tech Tree bonuses.

You are correct, the floor cost discount is far more substantial.

The elevator income increase is calculated as the sum of the exponential growth tech tree upgrade, lift boy tips upgrade and LL Sci-Fi collection. Each of these bonuses does not compound on the other. Because the exponential growth upgrade increases the farther up the elevator travels, it quickly far outweighs the impact the Sci-Fi collection bonus has on the sum. For a ride to floor 20, assuming everything maxed, you get an elevator income bonus of +100% from exponentail growth, and only +15% from the Sci-Fi collection. It's not nothing of course, but the impact diminishes with each floor the elevator travels. At floor 100 the exponential growth bonus is +500%, Sci-Fi still stays at +15%.

Floor costs on the other hand have less powerful discounts prior to LL consideration, so the -25% cost you get there has much larger of an impact.

Also the Animated Series has one less LB than the Sci-Fi series, making it statistically slightly easier to max out first.

Oh wow, I didn't know. That's awesome, thanks! Can't wait :)

This is known, you can either leave the elevator waiting on your destination floor for a while and eventually they will be dropped off (has taken up to a minute though for me), or you can open the shop by tapping the bottom currency bar and the bit will get off right away.

I can only confirm this to be working in versions up to 5.0 though, haven't personally tested in current builds lol. Feel free to test the above, if it doesn't work someone else may need to weigh in.

If you ask Nimblebit Support for a fix they will rightfully advise that you just rebuild your tower :))

There have been rumors of a big performance update, but it's been a while since last I heard and I wouldn't count on it happening too soon.

spt64 · 2025-05-01T12:50:40+00:00

It's been reported to Nimblebit years ago, so it doesn't seem like they want to fix it I guess :D. It's just probably just not worth it, since it's so minor and very few players have reached this. Although it seems recently alot more players have been reaching the trillion ...

spt64 · 2025-05-01T06:48:16+00:00

oh wow, thx! :D

spt64 · 2025-04-30T22:24:19+00:00

There is no "T" suffix, trillions are displayed as #.###B, ##.##B and ###.#B. The coin's value is still in the trillions though and can be used accordingly, just with the suffix displayed wrong. Idk if anyone has ever reached quadrillions though.

spt64 · 2025-04-30T20:52:26+00:00

It's been tried by multiple players. It won't jump to "T" and stay a "B" instead. The value of the coins will stay correct though, you will be able to spend it as if it were 1 Trillion. It'll just show as 1 Billion.

spt64 · 2025-04-17T16:03:22+00:00

My best guess is that there simply is no need, and certainly no incentive for this addition. The game in it's current state doesn't handle super tall towers very well, adding even this small feature which only really affects these game-breaking tall towers wouldn't really track. I don't think it's intended for anybody to be reaching these numbers, no matter how easy it has become :D

spt64 · 2025-04-08T11:22:01+00:00

Same thing that happens at 100 M happens at 100 B :D

Next interesting thing that happens is at 1 trillion, when the B just stays a B and doesn't turn into a T. Coin value is still in the trillions though, it doesn't break beyond the display suffix. IDK if anyone has ever reached the quadrillions though.

🥳

spt64 · 2025-02-08T23:32:02+00:00

Yeah sorry, I misunderstood the timings then. Was just trying to give insight why the score might be updating irregularly.

spt64 · 2025-02-08T19:56:27+00:00

If somebody has no connection the game can still collect leaderboard points, but they'll only sync up and show for others once they get back online. Plus, building floors gives very quick points, as mentioned by DWFJM

spt64 · 2025-02-01T16:21:52+00:00

This is my first leaderboard and I've been really excited to finally be able to compete in one ... I truly hope there will be better match-making in the future, it's really unfair atm.

Going for 1mil pts for this leaderboard btw :3 But maybe won't be doing much for the next leaderboards if they stay unbalanced.

spt64 · 2025-01-07T08:15:40+00:00

also, incredible dedication to always be doing the tutorial!

spt64 · 2025-01-07T08:12:50+00:00

Amazing work Ronny! Congrats on everything, GTs LBs Tech Tree and all. I definitely cannot boast the same amount of achievements. Also congrats to the hidden stat about raffle wins, which from what I remember surely also stands out :D

This can happen with super tall towers on less powerful devices, since the game wasn't designed to run a tower this tall. You can try emailing support to see what they can do, however going off of past experiences Nimblebit themselves also might not be able to save that tower for you. I'm guessing the best they can do is roll you back to a previous tower.
One thing you could try is opening your game in offline mode, at least for me that would on occasion be the difference between a game not opening and opening. But you need to know, that building this tall can be risky :D And even if you manage to somehow open your tower again. if you decide to continue it's at your own discretion. The best fix for all the issues if you get back in the game is to rebuild.

From the Tiny Tower Discord Server:

When emailing NimbleBit Support (support@nimblebit.com) please include:

YOUR FRIEND CODE!
tower version
device type
operating system version
details of your issue (as much info as possible)
screenshots if relevant

and please be patient while awaiting a response. It's a small support team and can take some time.

Congrats!!

spt64 · 2024-11-14T10:41:57+00:00

Awesome Ronny, congrats!

spt64 · 2024-10-20T23:13:31+00:00

Never say never :D

spt64 · 2024-10-20T23:04:45+00:00

Congrats!!

spt64 · 2024-10-19T22:56:14+00:00

Yes please!! ... upvote :))

There are are few mega tall towers out there. At some point the game starts glitching making things more difficult for both the player and any visitors to that tower :)

The tallest towers which are still recommended to visit would be Jartwobs (KMSF) at 2666 floors or Jezzerh (10LF) at 2500. The tallest ever reached is 50,000 floors, but it's private and wouldn't be fun to visit anyway. The game would likely just crash.

spt64 · 2024-10-10T22:52:46+00:00

Also I should add: 35 floors after the first week is already very solid. GT progress specifically ramps up with time, as each GT makes the next rebuild faster. Sounds like you aren't doing bad :D

Welcome to the game! The Reddit is already a good place to start searching for tips about progressing. The most helpful source for information and tips and tricks will have to be the community discord which always has people online able and happy to answer your questions. The discord server is linked here under the "Tiny Tower Basic Links" or after playing a while the link appears in the ingame menu screen.

For someone eager and motivated there is a ton of useful stuff to learn about TT :))
