Watch out for the Phantom Tap glitch!

TSTO HELP

Since the most recent "State of Despair" update, I've noticed that I'm losing millions of IGC (in game currency) and multiple land tokens to the phantom tap glitch.

The way you can figure out if you have this problem is to tap all your buildings normally and if you have the golden goose, you will still be at 0 land tokens. I havn't generated a land token from the golden goose normally in two days until I found a way to avoid this.

Currently the only solution I have is when you log in, TAP YOUR IMPORTANT BUILDINGS LIKE THE GOLDEN GOOSE FIRST. It seems when you tap other buildings or use the sky finger, it can cause some of your other buildings like the golden goose to be tapped and you get nothing from it except you see that it is on cooldown.

To combat the phantom tap glitch, I've made a very large 5 min brown house farm which nets me around 600k every 5 minutes. I've noticed these brown houses have been impacted by the glitch but I just laugh and set a 5 minute stop watch and come back later. I am currently in the process of KEM farming all the brown house money I obtain and I have 1289 donuts left to farm to buy every land token at 12 donuts each. Usually I'm not too consistent with my 5 minute farming, but this time I'm salty.

Well...not actually too salty, I love this game to death, but I'm kicking it's butt once and for all. Have a good one tappers

Since I got the sky finger whenever I’ve tapped it all my $ signs go but I don’t get any income or xp so now I have to avoid it altogether.

I've gotten income but it seems suspiciously low to me.

Yeah the first time I used it I barely got a single level out of it. I'm at 1200% bonus or so and generally I get 4 or 5 just clearing everything/everyone out. Haven't trusted it since.

Glad I’m not the only one experiencing this!!! Everyone else seems to be getting additional income/land tokens from this update. Yet for me, I’m experiencing the opposite. I end up losing all income from each building and the timer restarts.

Just came to say I'm in the glitch thats losing land tokens and probably money as well. I don't care about the money but don't mess with my land tokens!

Damn how many brown houses does it take to get a 600k return every time ?

Too lazy to count so I just made a picture.

It is a bit overboard but I'll shrink it down once this glitch is fixed.

A bit? lol

atleast it will be an easy decision for me to nuke it all once I brainstorm ideas for a more aesthetic design

Thank you for this I’ve noticed missing land tokens as well.

Had this glitch too. Lost like 4 land tokens. I stored my GGR and stopped experience that part. But still glitching with the sky finger. I just don't even bother with it. Might try storing it as well and see what happens.

Huh, I thought I was going crazy, it did seem like I wan't getting the right amount of money but I figured they were adding things up differently or something.

Thanks for the PSA, OP.

After you tapped the monument, do you see the cash counter go up? Or does it go up, but not count when you log in next time?

just checked my land tokens and i should have way more than i do!! do you think ea will reimburse us somehow when the glitch gets fixed?

I noticed recently that I have a small section of my town (near my KEM Farm) perma tapped as I like to call it. I have to check my land to see if I am missing anyting

It seems like the new fix for the glitch is to set a timer and log in minutes before golden goose is up again, if you are on and looking at it when it's timer resets it will not glitch. Same with lard lads, I set a timer and have been avoiding this problem more and more.
