How many buildings of one type?

[Westland Airport]

One of my neighbours has "restyled" his city recently. How is this possible?
Is there no limit for this building?
In that case I would like to know how I can collect this amount of buildings?

 

[FlyingViking]

It's a glitch in this version that will be fixed in next update and the extra buildings will be removed back to the warehouse

Very common thing for high level players to have these days, and G! likely won't even attempt to ban these players...
Check this thread for more info:

General - 6+ Buildings

Now this is going to sound ridiculous.... I just founded many players who have these following things in their city: 30+++ Rocket Garden 12+++ Alien Legacy 20+++ Space Travel monument 20++ Crop Circles 50++ Gift shops :eek::eek::eek: If you are reading this and you know the trick, can you please...

You can’t ban them when it was a GI programming error that let you do it. 100% GI responsibilty.

Of course they can ban them when the ToS explicitly covers exploiting bugs. Whether they should or will is a separate discussion (and to date it appears they have chosen to let it slide).

GI employs unskilled programmers. There are always a lot of errors in their programs. Their brains are only enough to repaint buildings, Programs are easily hacked. Now we see a lot of players who used the code for a large number of "greens". This lasts for several months and no one blocks them. the error-backup restore-has been active for Many years. A lot of crooks use it, it is also not fixed and will never be fixed. And players who took advantage of a hole in the program and built a lot of buildings over the limit, you just need to roll back to the moment of construction of these buildings. Then they will not be able to take advantage of their advantage over honest players.. In the future, everyone will know-took advantage of the error, lost time. P.S. GI programmers will never work in Apple.

Why ban them for using something Gi created themselves? They make their own mistakes, folks see it, folks use it. They did not cheat the buildings onto their games.

From ToS
Gaming policy. You agree that your use of the Services should be lawful and that you will comply with the usage rules. In furtherance of the foregoing, and as an example and not as a limitation, you agree not to use the Services in order to:

·exploit, distribute or publicly inform others about any Game error, miscue or bug which gives an unintended advantage;


Emphasis mine. Just putting it out there.

Think you might find that’s the catch all phrase that doesn’t always stand up in court. Knowingly having a bug for 6 weeks at least and not doing anything about it would probably wipe out the catch all phrase. Yes maybe if they had repaired the error and removed the excess buildings. But they haven’t. Therefore could be argued that it was their error and they have accepted the consequences.

All games have bugs from time to time, it is quite common for developers to put in ToS agreements that prohibit exploitation of bugs. So yes GI are responsible for the bug, but these buildings didn't just magically appear in peoples cities. People made a conscious decision to build the extra buildings knowing it was a bug (so under the ToS they did cheat).

If people want to run the gauntlet on this then that is their choice. But I don't agree with the rhetoric that GI are 100% to blame to the point of almost inferring that GI somehow "forced" people into doing this as justification.

The warehouse said USE. So they USED. They did what the game allowed them to do. Show me where in writing it says in the TOS you can only have 6 buildings?

The ToS won't specify that level of detail.

This isn't a court of law debate and by the various posts made on the subject people clearly understood it was not working as intended and made a conscious decision on that basis. As stated before that was their choice - own it / don't try and justify it.

 

[PLMerry]

Just because you can break a rule, does not mean that you should break the rule. We ALL know what the rule is.

So, if Gi decides to delete all those extra buildings, which Gi has every right to do, how much whining will we have to listen to?

And one can argue that the person acted in GOOD FAITH because they were under the impression that the rules changed to allow it. And yes, sometimes, that does happen even in minor versions.

No, some people had the impression that you can once again cheat with impunity

Its you lot who haven’t done it who are moaning! 🤣

And no you won’t find anything extra chez moi. But you really are all a bit over the top with a serious over reaction. GI will remove it when they can be bothered and no one will be punished as it was their error.

Considering the bug hasn’t been fixed yet, some veterans of the game will have collected 3 months worth of launch items already. I don’t think they’d be able to justify not being aware that the feature was a bug.

When someone loses their wallet, you don't get it back. Say it's his own fault. And call the poor man a fool.

I’m one of the beneficiaries of this bug. In the last event update I found I could put down my 22 rocket gardens, so I did assuming it was a purposeful change. I only realised a few days later when I couldn’t put down an additional rocket garden that I realised it must have been a temporary thing. My intention initially was to put them down just so I could sell them without disturbing the collection cycle of my core 6, but then I figured I might as well sell them as I need the land for my adventure buildings as I collect them.

The benefit is not as great as you might think. 22 Rocket gardens leads to 22 collectibles a day, or 4.4 launch ready boxes. In the two weeks they have been placed that’s equivalent to 61 boxes. 1 in 8 of them are PEBs so assume 7 to 8 PEBs extra in that period than I would have collected otherwise I use 3 to 4 PEBs every time I take first in a red launch so it’s equivalent to 1 red launch taking first a week.

I already earn more coins than I can spend so the only real competitive benefit is the barrels of fuel and the gold tokens, which are not enough to make a difference in any area where you think we might be competing. Personally I don’t care about the rankings and rewards other than supporting the Alliances I’m part of. They are too little reward for too much effort so I focus on just my city and working through my achievements regardless of whether they are better or worse, slower or faster than anyone else.

I’m sorry there is resentment amongst my peers on this forum, I don’t wish any negativity on anyone and I won’t be complaining when/if they get automatically warehoused as part of a future update.

Positive sentiments to all.

It said USE so it got USED. They can sort their own mess out. When they can be bothered.
Explain the differenc3 between bug and bad programming please!
