Auto Collect Contracts

[Wasted Eagle]

Will the passengers still collect even though my passenger limit is full?

Yes, the collecting is separate from the terminal counter. All auto-collected pax go into a separate pot. Once you press collect (at any point during or after the contract), they get added to the terminal.
You can’t add to a full terminal. But as long as the counter isn’t full (even by 1 passenger), you can add all collected passengers. My terminal read about 14000/2830 after collecting that last 9 hour contract...

I figured that's how it would work. So long as you dont lose the autocollect if the terminal is full, then all is well. Its basically another passenger building that you can collect once there is room in the terminal.

Auto collect isn't for everyone. It's more of a niche to certain playing styles. It requires some investment, but if you set it up right, it can be handy.

That was the question I was always curious about. That is a huge plus!

Auto collect was always a huge plus; it's just those contract prices that were ridiculous

Tested the 2 day contract (1000 silver ) without Family Ticket, not bad...

Whoa. Not bad at all. Mind if I send a neighbor request? Curious about your layout

Great tip! Bought 4 and collecting!

I’d like to do this but I only have 300 gold tokens. Had The change come a little earlier I’d have bought those instead of the reserve hanger. I have a few more adventure missions to fly so maybe I still will do it since I’m close to 108 more gold tokens after flying Ancient Egypt

I have the same question..

 

[Kevin Mc]

I have the same question..

Yes, while the contract is active. Left mine overnight with passengers already full and had almost 4000 this morning. Once the contract runs out it returns to normal.

 

[Wasted Eagle]

I have the same question..

Like I said in post #21, yes. Collecting happens seperately from the terminal counter...

The cost of autocollecting... is that the same if you have one or six auto-collect buildings, or is the cost multiplied with the amount of buildings you have?

The amount of collectors only determines how many (longer) contracts you can choose from (1-6), the cost never changes...

Thank you!

This is definitely an improvement, and my interest is peaked ... but I'm having trouble getting over my pessimistic worry that I spend tokens to get an auto-collect building and then the CBM offer comes out and I won't have enough to buy them

Dont waste your tokens, Collect 100-200 Alarm Clocks, Build all 6 Visa centres and then place maximum amount of buildings possible (High Passengers Building mostly), Start 1 hour contract, Use all Alarm Clocks and Family ticket and you will have quite a lot of passengers.

Will those hundreds of thousands of passengers then sit in a separate pool indefinitely just waiting to be used? Is there a time limit on how long the generated passengers will be available to use?

No Time limit, Collect passengers, load them in your terminal or let them stay in your Visa Centre.
I collected some passengers and moved most of the passenger buildings to warehouse as I don't need to collect passengers from building again and again.

For that to work properly, not losing loads of passengers, the radius needs to be big as well. Those Police Stations are insanely expensive...

Couldn’t ou just put it in a magic garden in that scenario? I’ve built a couple of the 300 pax buildings but with a family ticket I can get 1100 passengers from what building. Multiplying that by 100 is a crazy number

Sadly I probably will never see 100 alarm clocks nor will anyone that started playing in the last 1-2 years, so I don’t think this would be an option unless you had 800 greens you’re willing to spend to get them. I’m lucky to see 1-2 per month from mystery boxes
