The 1st story task is the event is to visit s Research Lab (x3). If you don't have them or 2 days is too long to wait. Visit a Neighbour. They do count. I personally only have 1.

Be Advised: Be careful how you follow the story tasks in order to prevent being held up or double work.

I just visited many neighbors' burnt trees (task #2). Only to find out Story task 3 is visit neighbors' burnt trees until you get a chainsaw. Well, of course I did that but it doesn't count because I didn't go back and collect the task for #2.

Also, it was the same with the particulate filters. I had already collected some and sent out flights. Only to go back and do task 5, study burnt trees in my city to get a particulate filter.

Story task #8 requires completion of the Gates of Hell collection (items from your city burnt trees). This will be lengthy as the drops are very seldom. In the meantime you will want to be sending out flights to Mt. Elbrus. Just keep in mind if you get the plane drops and finish the Volcanologist Equipment collection (for the Institute of Volcanology building) first, you will have to do it again for Story task #10. So depending on how close you are with the Gates of Hell collection, it might be better to wait to collect the Volcanologist Equipment.

It may seem needless if you're going to get 5 of each collection anyway. It is just that there are several places in this event where a person could get stuck because they have already used a particular resource (chainsaws, jackhammers, particulate filters, landing lamps, collection items, visits to neighbors' burnt trees/Volcanology buildings, your own burnt trees {free videos}). Those areas can cost up to a day delay. Or worse yet, you have to complete an additional collection.

Much appreciated.

Age of Ash comes with a new building - the Museum of Geology. I recognized it instantly. It's based on the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

It is the largest museum in Canada and among the largest in North America.

The original building was designed by Darling and Pearson. The controversial extension (called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal) was designed by Daniel Libeskind who won an international competition for the project.

The building has been called a beautiful building and "Canada's Most Hated Building" because of the Crystal extension. It's an interesting reception given Daniel Libeskind is a celebrated architect who also designed the addition to the Jewish Museum Berlin (aka Airport City Art Gallery)

I appreciate the update!

The volcanic livery has a bonus of a 30% increase of coins per flight.

How can you tell that? It doesn't show it in the information screen. Can you post a screen shot?

Thanks, I will update the wiki page

 

[Chloe11111]

That makes me wonder if any of these have other bonuses - like profit

Well, isn't that the entire purpose of the liveries? No more free planes.

Anyone having trouble completing Gates of Hell collection?

I've done a little over 50 burnt trees. Still need 2 items.

Is it just me or does it seem like G! is trying to slow down the event progress? You can only save up 100 Landing Lamps and Particulate Filters. Speeding up flights only has limited use. Maybe it is an attempt to keep players logged in more hours in a day or much more frequently. This is the 2nd event in a row requiring flight items. I hope this isn't the "new way". It is already insufferable that the most efficient flights for currency are the smaller planes. Now it is requiring double flights for needed flight items, not to mention the massive fuel usage. Obviously G! would like to create an environment which encourages purchases. But with each event it is becoming more complicated to determine the most efficient strategy. Or decide if it is worth the resources to accomplish.

Thèse last 2 events have always needed flight items for the standard flights. No change. The change is forcing you to do flights for Cold War collection - standard flights. Guess I won’t be finishing then. Don’t want that livery so see no point wasting items hunting for them.

I looks like the painting time is 10 minutes for all plane types?

Likely, but then also more flexible now?
