I have typed a few paragraphs already before my Chrome chocked and lose all my words. Here is a copy of what I wrote on notepad instead.I have been playing Pixel People for about a week now, not a veteran, but I do love this game and would like to share some thoughts for new-comers.Something about my Utopium first.200/380 Professions, 188 land counts (2 deducted as punishment), 52/74 Achievements, 188 Total Population, 48 Residences, and 887 Max cps.Do NOT Manipulate TimeJUST set your clock to automatic as the warning in fire station says. I wrote a lot on why not change your time in the post I lost just now. Not going to write that all over again. Land is too dear to lose in your manipulation.SOMEONE said that if you play offline then you can change time without a punishment, is that true? Anyone?.Build Residences WiselySHINY Tower is the best one to build.
It takes up one land and resides 6 people, which is the most land-efficient of all. It also costs 6 Utopiums and needs almost a whole day to build.AN alternative is Atomic Cottage, one that costs 3 Utopiums and resides 4 people. It only takes about an hour to complete. You can build one when you need some place fast. And may be your primary choice when you don't have Shiny Tower yet.ROCKY Mansions is the fastest to build and resides 2 people. The good part of this one than other 1-land-2-people residence is that it is easier to empty and delete. You will understand when you enter the phase where you need to get your people live closer together.OTHER types of building are not worthy, unless you just want to collect them or for aesthetic purposes.Make Some FriendsFRIENDS can be of great help in this game, getting daily gifts, trading pets, and peeking city plans.
Hints are given frequently throughout the beginning of Pixel People, and are stored in Town Hall. They can be accessed by selecting Town Hall and clicking on the leftmost of the three center icons.

In the beginning, the app closes every time I tap on the Telephone Company or the pet store. I was pretty sad that I might have to play this game all alone. Then, I added some people from the Facebook Pixel People Page:.SURPRISINGLY, the bug was fixed once I have friends to visit and trade with. And I an now enjoying this game much more.UtopiumTHIS is the ultimate currency of the Utopium world much more valuable than coins. There are several ways to get Utopiums: Utopium Mine (2 per day), Trees (up to 25 a day), Collecting Hearts (by chance), Friends' gifts (by chance), Arcade (also by chance), TV Station (by completing offers), and Use real money.I had five trees and I cut them all for more lands (environmentally wrong, I know). It is not really a good deal to use up one land just to have some trees.
Good news is, there is a thing called Astroglass Tree. You can get it from missions or special deliveries. Skylanders imaginators senseis. Now I have 12 Astroglass Trees that gives me 25 Utopiums per day. (I don't have the Lumber Mill yet. It sounds like a great deal if I can re-limit it to 50.ON the TV Station.
You can get a bunch of Utopiums from watching Ads or completing offers. The thing is, offers are tedious and most of the time I don't get the reward. So I gave up on that one for some days. The day before yesterday, I was out of Utopiums and really needed some.
I tapped in the TV Station again and scrolled to the bottom to see the 'Missing Currency?' I clicked in and filed a claim not giving much hope. One day later, 34 Utopiums was credited to my account, I felt rich at that time.Moral of the story, complete some offers and if you don't get a reward, file a claim.Where to Work?
SOME professions can work at several places (not simultaneously of course). So, which building to put them into is a question. Note that the building produce twice the money when it's filled up.THE building with the biggest Multiplier by far is City Square, multiplying your cps by 8 gives itself a 256 cps (also with Bumper Season from Farm). Although, it has only 5 minute working-time at level one.

I still put it as a priority to fill up.THE answer to the rest of the question is simple: If you are a all-day player like me, fill up the building with the greater multiplier or max CPS first. If not, fill up the one with the most CPR (Coins Per Run) first, which are usually those with a longer work duration. You can check the link above and sort the table as you wish by clicking the column title.City PlanningTHERE is no rule on how to build your Utopium. You don't have to think about space-efficiency, waste processing, or noise polluting.
But there is still a bit of advice. PUT YOUR RESIDENCES TOGETHER. By doing so, you can collect your hearts easier (although by tapping the blinking hearts at the top, the game will place the building with a heart in the center. A little trick you should know). More importantly, you will be much more at ease playing the Christmas Mission mini-game.
Also, you give your friend the same convenience. Hey, I won't name you here my friend.
But you should really re-arrange your city a bit. It is almost as messy as my room.
PUT YOUR TREES TOGETHER. Needless to say, it makes it easier to collect money and utopiums. And better put it around your residences so you can do your harvest all at once. PUT 'IMPORTANT' BUILDINGS IN GOOD PLACES. By important, I mean buildings with special effect and not the passive ones.
Google's Pixel 2 is one of the few Android phones that actually looks better after you turn it on. From the functionally elegant Pixel Launcher to the stock Oreo icons, there's a lot to like about the Pixel 2 Android experience. It's smart, stylish, and sophisticated, and it's the No. 1 reason to spend hundreds of dollars on one.As good as it looks, Android on the Pixel is just as customizable as it is on any other phone. The Pixel 2 features all sorts of little tweaks and tune-ups, so check out these 10 tips and tricks that will unlock its full potential.
Pick a live wallpaperLast year’s Pixel brought Live Earth wallpapers that gave your home screen a cool three-dimensional feel, but this year’s live wallpapers go beyond parallax effects. Simply press down on your home screen and tap the Wallpapers icon to find them. Inside the Living universe tab you'll find a series of wallpapers that are like mini-movies on your home screen. The movement is subtle (such as waves crashing against the shore in Lagos), but it adds a bit of surprise and delight to what was already a gorgeous array of photos. IDGThe Pixel 2's live wallpapers are definitely worth checking out.Furthermore, there's a set of 'Come alive' wallpapers that feature interactive designs. Some let you manipulative shapes with your fingers, while others provide flashes of color when touched.
Mind you, they will all have some impact on your battery life, but they're so cool, it might be worth it. Bring back double-tap to check and lift to checkThis year’s Pixel brings an always-on ambient display, and we couldn’t be happier. But if you're not into it, Google hasn’t completely abandoned the old way of doing things. Inside the Ambient display settings (Settings Display Advanced Ambient display), there will be two toggles beneath 'Always on:' Double-tap to check phone and Lift to check phone. IDGYou'll have to turn off the always-on display to bring back lift to wake.The double-tap option will light up the screen when you double-tap on the ambient display (or illuminates the ambient display if it's not set to always be on). The lift-to-check toggle turns on the ambient display when you raise your handset, like before. However, it works only if the always-on display is turned off, so you'll have to choose.
Turn on vivid colors IDGVivid colors is a new profile to enhance your Pixel 2 display.The Pixel 2 doesn't offer the kind of color customization that the Galaxy Note 8 or LG V30 do, but there is one tweak you can make. Inside the Advanced menu's Display settings, you'll find a Vivid colors toggle, which will change the display profile to give your display a little more pop.
Show the battery percentage IDGYou can now see exactly how much battery percentage is remaining on your Pixel 2.It's always been impossible to tell exactly how much battery you have left by viewing the tiny icon in the status bar. With Android Oreo on the Pixel 2, Google lets you add the precise battery percentage next to the icon, so you can know exactly when battery saver is about to turn on (or brag to your friends about how long it lasts). Just head over to the settings and flip on the Battery percentage switch.
Use the power button to end a call IDGYou can use the Pixel 2's power button to hang up on people.The Android Accessibility settings include all sorts of useful tricks for vision-impaired Pixel 2 users, but there's one option we can all benefit from: Power button ends call. Flip this switch and you can press the power button to end a call—especially handy if one hand isn't free. View the home screen in landscape mode IDGYup, you can view your Pixel 2 home screen in landscape mode.Most Android phones need to be in portrait mode when looking at the home screen, making for some awkward fumbling when running landscape apps. But that's not the case with the Pixel 2. Inside the Home Settings (which can be accessed by pressing down on the screen and tapping the gear icon), you'll see an Allow Home screen rotation toggle. Toggle it on, and your icons and widgets will rotate when you turn your phone.
One caveat: You'll lose your Google search bar when in landscape mode. Customize the At A Glance widget IDGYou can't remove the new At-A-Glance widget, but you can customize it.Google has supercharged the Pixel Launcher's new top-of-the-screen widget with the addition of calendar events and traffic information alongside the weather and date. But if you don't want all that information, you can easily change it. Just long-press on the widget to bring up the Preferences menu.
From there, you'll be able to turn off calendar events and traffic updates. Get rid of the Google app screen IDGIf you don't like the Google app hanging out to the left of your home screen, you can banish it.Swipe all the way to the right on your Pixel 2 and you'll get to the Google app, which is basically a feed of news, sports, weather, and other relevant information. But it doesn't have to be there.
Head into the Home Settings (again, by pressing firmly on the home screen), and you'll see a Display Google app toggle. Turn it off, and the screen will disappear from your phone. Show Now Playing on the lock screen IDGNow Playing is awesome—and it's even better on the lock screen.One of the coolest features of the new Pixel phones is Now Playing, which offers the ability to identify any song it hears without needing to ask Google Assistant or launch Shazam. It's not an app, it's a setting, and you can find it all the way at the bottom of Advanced in the Sound settings. Inside is where you'll find the most important toggle of all: Show on lock screen. Turn this on, and you'll be able to identify any song that's playing within speakershot of your Pixel 2 just by glancing at the bottom of the lock screen.
Turn off Active Edge /IDGMore like inactive edge amiright?We might not have needed another way to summon Google Assistant, but Google gave it to us anyway in the form of Active Edge. Like the HTC U11, you can squeeze the sides of your Pixel to launch Google Assistant. Unlike the U11, you can't customize the squeeze to launch another app.
If that's a deal-breaker, you can switch off Active Edge in the Settings app. But it's not so easy to find. Go to Apps & notifications Advanced Default apps Assist & voice input Active Edge. Then it's just a matter of flipping the Squeeze for Assistant toggle.
