Tips and guides

Useful Tips

• It's not necessary to tap all the bits, etc. that fall out of buildings. If you leave them there they will be collected automatically.
• Rocks can be removed from the building field for 1000bits (small rocks) to 16000bits (the giant rocks). Similarly small shrubs can be removed for 200 to 500 bits.
• If you tap on any sort of decorations(bought/not bought) one bit should drop out.
• Often buildings offer the same bits per hour for the two items it offers, so it may be profitable to spread your ponies out and just build the faster item if you don't mind checking back often.
• If your shop employs three ponies it may be more profitable (bits per hour wise) to build the first item instead of the second item.
• Place all of the job buildings as close together as possible, so you don't have to scroll across the map to finish their jobs.
• Ponies who live in a house that's already built arrive instantly when purchased. For example, if you already have Sugarcube Corner built (from getting Mrs. Cake) then Pinkie Pie and Mr. Cake will arrive as soon as you unlock them with bits.
• Shards of Harmony can be spent at activated Harmony Stones for bits. You get random amounts of bits for every shard deposited.
• One can move ponies to a shop that is about to complete it's production cycle to get the third pony bonus, and thus better use available assets when attending to the game.
• One can fill his or her "unlocked space" with decorations (ideally wells) to fully mitigate the costs of removing rocks/debris that randomly spawn there during "catostrophes". (UNTESTED)
• One can repeatedly buy and sell wells for cheap EXP.

Technical Stuff / Troubleshooting

• Android Users: If your game just pauses (so none of the timers update while you're away) and takes up battery life when you're not playing consider closing it with a task manager type app (or a built in task manager) if you're not playing for a while. For the Nexus 7: press the windows list button, long press on the MLP game and choose "remove from list".
• Android Users: If your game is crashing on startup, try turning on Airplane mode. To do this, hold your power button and a menu will pop up. In this menu should be an option for "Airplane mode" click this and it will turn off all wireless connectivity and the game should start. WARNING: When you turn on airplane mode on a phone, you will not be able to recieve phone calls, SMS messages or anything else that requires a cellphone or wireless signal.
