Ape Apps

(best viewed in dark mode)

i forgot where i posted this, i apologize

thank you for a detailed answer.

i have 3 colonies right now:
1 single city
1 smaller region colony
1 big region colony

all of them are run on same pc
on all of them cloud sync is on

single city & smaller region i can run from chrome (i guess thats pwa?)
backup here works, so there is no problem.

now, big region i cannot open with pwa.
i tried, but when i try to load colony filename.mcz
message pops up:
game filename.mcz cannot be found on your system or on cloud sync

cloud sync is on

with ape launcher, game loads. i dunno from where, but it loads, fast & without errors

when i go to game data & backup copy
game starts generating backup, goes through all the cities in the region
(backing up city#xx .... ) & thats it.
nothing happens

i tried to create backup from start menu.
more options > game data > backup game file > filename.mcz
size of that file is 0 bytes & its date modified doesnt change

to summarize:
big region wont open on chrome (cloud sync on, all files on the same device)
ape launcher wont create backup file, or creates corrupted backup file (0 bytes)


(playing for 2 years now. i guess im officially mc1 addict)

nan% means not a number.
i would like to think: you are doing so well that game cannot compute

so you dont need to concern yourself about concerning graph disappearing

AbbyBuckley said:hi guy! How to increase lvl so fast?

for humans:

if you got trash - incinerators

& build a bunch of atmosphere generators. large ones, if you can

online mode: settings > statistics > overview > online mode
you will lose all your resources

save. exit. restart. do it twice, cos after 1st restart charter is visible on the chat, 2nd time colony is visible

made a list, back in the day, of united earth buildings dimensions & rotation

if you need it, you can find it -
under my colony 1 > game help >
buildings dimensions in tiles for united earth

tawanameier said:I support this idea entirely

is already implemented in version 1.19.0.
the only good thing that came with update on 08.06.2022

you can build either consulates or capitols.
consulates - before independence
capitols - after independence
they do same job pretty much

itsLiseczeq said:Hi! stages are the levels of atmosphere that your colony has. it goes as follows:
Stage 0 - 0 atmosphere
Stage 1 - 250000 atmosphere
Stage 2 - 1 million atmosphere
Stage 3 - 5 million atmosphere
Stage 4 - 15 million atmosphere
Starts being toxic at about 30 million, so be careful.

toxic?
on my region, atmosphere is 10,5 bil rn. where do you get that is toxic?

ok, i will try here.

save & backup are an issue.
either with launcher or progressive web app with large regions.
can you fix launcher so backup could save backup file on local drive?

---

cloud sync is really a problem for a number of players & backups could solve it.

my region wont open with web app, & with launcher backups dont work, so im on mercy of cloud sync

i've started playing my colony with new ape launcher 2.0.14.211

saves rarely work.

when i start backup copy , it goes through all the region cities & then ends up, saving file - where?

nothing shows up.

what is the point of having the backup, when it doesn't save backup copy anywhere?

to send stuff:
click/tap on the player in chat > colony > gift icon >choose resource & the amount > ok

the amount depends on gift / trade limits of both of you. its the lowest of 2.

you cant trade or send/receive gifts if you play in local mode

start
united earth colony, humans

beginner:
you click (pc) or tap (phone) on things, i will stick with clicks for now.
on the resource bar, you can see how much resources you have
click on it few times.


click lander, then on popup menu click orange dude building icon
there you can choose the vehicles to build.
build few
click on vehicle/s, on popup menu choose harvest (yellow box with dots on it) or build icon (orange dude) to build stuff

energy buildings - small solar panels


storage buildings - raw materials depo, silo for food, water tank for water








make water
- if there is water on the map, waterbots with water tanks. waterbots harvest water

- if there is no water - small water pump





there you can build most of the vehicles


select more vehicles at once

click/tap & hold until green square(dot) appears. drag around vehicles & release.
to select all vehicles of the same type, double click or hold one single unit until they are all selected


to build more vehicles at once

(this might not work on every device - read apple 🍎)
at vehicles menu, right click / hold on vehicle you want to build, popup menu will show up. input how much vehicles you want built.

if you play region, sooner or later question of efficiency comes to mind.
there coloniae layouts tool shows its worth & in time you come to depend on it.
it becomes inseparable part of the game.

so much so, if coloniae site is down, i usually dont play my favourite mobile game

just wanted to support this proposal.
playing for a while, a LOT of players suggested it on chat
👍

dimensions of buildings on united earth colony little guide to fill those empty tiles

2x3 = 2 tiles left, 3 tiles right
*sorted by dimensions then alphabetically

this list is created for those cases when you have empty tiles in your colony's ground plan, but don't know what to place there

1) return to region
2) save colony (when in region map)
3) setting (in region map) > statistics > game data > backup copy

save can get corrupted, backup can get corrupted.
cloud sync could be the reason.
if you dont switch between few devices all the time, turn it off.
if problem with saves continues, move backup file between devices & open game from that file.
_______________________________________________________

to create backup file:
setting (in region map) > statistics > game data > backup copy

to switch off cloud sync:
settings > statistics > game data > cloud sync off

thank you for detailed answer.

to all the players who face the same problem

for opening the region on other device or browser:
1) backup copy of the region
2) transfer/copy that file (on device where your game is)
3) restore/load region from that file (on that device)

again, thank you bastecklein

just to clarify.

played free version of the game.
bought premium on the phone
played region.
on the phone region works.
on the browser on the phone, opens only free game.
on the pc version, i transferred saved region file to pc.
so on pc, there is a region, but it wont open - loads forever.
on the browser version on pc, opens only free game.

everywhere i first sign in.
premium upgrade registered after 2-3 days.
region works only on game installed on the phone & nowhere else.
would *.avk or *.amk file help?

just saw email thing. will try that.

i bought premium on android phone.
when i try to play it on another device or browser it says: no premium upgrade.
i can't even load the game i started after premium upgrade.
