Changes to new games only

• Added new biomes (Swamp, Rainforest and Crystal)
  • Swamp biomes are like the Desert but reversed - you can only build smaller buildings on swamp tiles.
  • Rainforests are covered with trees. They give a significant bonus to the production rate of Fields, but that bonus drops the more trees you cut down
  • The Crystal Island... well, you'll see...
• SIGNIFICANTLY updated the game generation algorithm:
  • Fertilities now tend to cluster on the earlier planets, so that when you reach the edge planets for Purple research you still need to go back to earlier planets to get good food and other important resources
  • Some islands can have Iron+Electronics - no 'Mountains'
  • Things like Oil, Milk, Wool etc tend to be on more difficult islands
  • Tutorial games will always start with 1 grass + 2 desert islands, but non-tutorial games can now have other biomes for the 2nd/3rd islands on the first planet
  • Swamp/desert islands are slightly more common towards the sun
  • Snow/Rainforest islands are slightly more common away from the sun
  • Made lots of things controlled centrally instead of being completely random, so there should be less chance of weird/broken games (once we work out any wrinkles)
  • Added a bunch of new island shapes:
    • Archipelagos
    • Inverted islands (eg the Highlands on the coast, rather than inland)
    • Crescent shaped islands
  • Added a chance for ruined villages to be on islands
  • Added a chance for an extra-hard desert - no green tiles, less trees

2/26/2020 EDIT - removed the swagbucks offer links as they seem to change for different accounts and instead added some extremely boomer friendly image guides on how to find them on the platform.
So, it's been 1 week since I was supposed to get my stimulus check on 4/15. Most of you still here dont need to imagine my fucking disappointment as everyone with the same bank in my state including my family all started getting theirs right on time, leaving us here to make memes and be depressed. Like some of you poor schmucks, I have been checking the "can be claimed as a dependent" since I started working back in highschool even though I can't qualify as one anymore. Instead of ignoring/downvoting the blunt people that told us we wouldn't get it and getting my hopes up for another week I sent in an amended return in hopes of possibly getting it someday in the future. I happened to see someone in the comments mention making money online doing various tasks and surveys etc. which got me interested and I've spent the last week looking into these while stuck at home with no money. So far i've been able to make around 100$ within days and another 400$+ pending for the days/weeks to come, with MINIMAL effort(no surveys/actual work). I know it's not 1.2k yet but I've decided to share step by step for those in need or anyone that just wants some easy money without doing slave labor surveys.

What you will need

1. Working bank acc, preferably with some money in it but NOT necessary initially
2. A computer and/or smartphone with working phone number and email
3. OPTIONAL: Bluestacks android emulator for PC, I use this to complete mobile app offers once I've opened them on my phone because i'd rather not waste battery. If this is a difficult concept don't bother no offense Its not worth the headache.
4. OPTIONAL: AutoClicker , I only use this for the Raid Shadow Legends Offer. Ignore this until you try the offer and understand why it might be useful or you'll just confuse yourself.
5. OPTIONAL: Second online bank account like Schwab or cashapp

Starting off

First you'll want to make an account on SwagBucks.com(ref). This is where we'll make the initial bulk of our money. For those unaware, Swagbucks is a site where you earn points (SB) for completing offers from various businesses and apps as well as surveys or games. It's been around for years, In fact I remember using it when I was a young boy trying to buy guns on Combat Arms or to play facebook games, it's different this time around now that i'm 18+ and not limited to certain offers. This site is mostly safe(i'll explain) as long as you stick to the right offers.
100 SB is the equivalent of 1$ US. If you use my referral link above you'll start off with 500SB once you earn your first 500 and help me out as well. Non Ref link
I will now list some current offers as of 4/24/2020 that are easily completed and how to find them. Once logged in you can either use the Discover section to find the offers or follow along with the red boxes in the linked pictures. SB can be awarded anywhere from instant to 30 days but should show pending within days (note that offers expire and new ones take their place, for those reading in the future)

1. Swagbutton app/extension +25SB - can remove after awarded or keep it to find compatible offers when you google search anything. (get it on chrome for the stash offer below).
2. Coupon printing 1SB per coupon max 50SB a day - just click 50 coupons and tell your printer to only print one page or cancel it all together simple, or maybe you want them idk.
3. Free Travel Brochures +100SB - Just get some brochures sent to your email for free dollar.
4. Clearsurance offer +150SB - Review any insurance company or just copy paste someone elses from google like I did
5. Pandora Premium Offer +150SB - Get a 3 month free trail for pandora and cancel it, its a pretty nice service to make use of for the 3 months for music.
6. DOGTV Offer +280SB - MY FAVOURITE ONE WATCH DOGS LIVE FOR A LITTLE BIT IN THESE DARK TIMES. Try the free trial then cancel because you can watch dogs for free anywhere else online?
7. Free Insurance Quote +240SB - Fill in Info, get quote close out and wait for points.
8. SolitaireCube offer +250SB - download on your phone and play 10 games, no idea how to play solitaire simply start a match 10 times and surrender 10 times. takes a few mins.
9. Nielsen Offer +443SB - Download either the desktop or mobile app (mobile is easier) As soon as you see it send the first KB of data, stop and delete it. It will lag your device.
10. Raid Shadow Legends offer +1500SB - reach hero level 5 which took me about 1 night and some of the next day. It's an auto battle game so I recommend downloading it on PC and using the autoclicker to your advantage to afk level up. (shows pending instantly and awards 7 days after completion)
11. Coin Master offer +1500SB - reach village level 7. A really simple slots game and the app has DAILY bonus links you can find online. This will help you complete the game in 2-3 days easily.
12. Arcadia Power offer +900SB - all you have to do is signup and enter a compatible utility bill to get awarded points.

These next few require a bank card(with 0$) for free trials and a few dollars later on for certain ones, most are subscription based so remember to cancel before the free trials end so you are not charged.

1. Current offer +500SB - a banking app, signup for the free trial then cancel right away
2. ABCmouse offer +400SB - kids educational app, signup for the free trial then cancel right away
3. Greendot offer +300SB - "banking" app, just have to make an account then close
4. Surfseasy VPN offer +2430SB -1.99$USD - Should be in featured I already did it on both my accounts so I cant grab a screenshot unfortunately. Sign Up for the 2$ trial and cancel for a 22$ profit!
5. Creativebug offer +300SB - Signup for free trial, cancel right away
6. Aspiration offer +2500SB -1$USD minimum - a banking app, create account then close (do the referral one at the bottom instead for more money and this takes 60 days to payout as well)
7. NAV offer +800SB - free credit score overview, create free account
8. Waldo Contacts Offer +700SB - If you have a contact prescription get a free weekly supply just pay 1$ shipping and get 7$ worth of points, mine just came in the mail.
9. Rise of Kingdoms offer +4000SB - get your town hall to level 17 within 20 days for 40$. There are some other similar games that offer around 40$ if you search around, these ones take the most effort imo but hey you get to play a decent popular game. Look up how to rank up fast ie. join an alliance early. Im still level 14 6 days in without spending money, I have this running on Bluestacks on my PC since its a mobile battery drainer and I spend 30 mins on it every few hours. (Crazy how far mobile games have come since i last played them btw)

Do NOT do the surveys unless you want to feel like a slave and/or have your email and phone spammed.
That's already around 150$ worth of points! There's tons more on there that award simply for signing up or trying out the trial for a bit, hopefully you've figured out how to navigate and find the offers by now(ill try to update with more when im not busy), avoid surveys the effort to point ratio is wack and you'll get sent into scammy website loops. Once you've completed some offers you should start seeing them popup in the Activity and Shop Activity tab. It'll look something like this and this. You can slowly start redeeming your SB for VISA giftcards or Paypal. The first 25$ VISA gc you redeem every month has a 12% discount as well for a total of 2175SB per card. 1st Received
unethical life pro tip : use a family members phone to make a second acc to do it all over again, heard there's a limit to 2 members per ip but not sure

Next

Now that you have some money to your name or if you already did, you'll have a few more opportunities open up.

1. First you'll wana sign up for STASH a banking/investing app through a referral code and deposit a minimum 5$ into the account, Once it goes through you'll receive 20$ for using the referral link as well as another 5$ from Stash for making an account. There is a 1$ monthly fee so you'll want to close the account if you don't plan on using their services.(if you have the swagbutton extension i believe you can get points as well) +25$ (+55$ if you get the points)
2. Acorns(ref) is another similar investing site that will give you 5$ for signing up with a minimum deposit of 5$. Also a 1$ subscription so make sure to cancel if you don't plan on using their services. +5$
3. Robinhood(ref) - A very popular mobile brokerage(web version as well). There's 2 ways you can play this. Either use mine or anyone else's referral code and get 1 random stock anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred if you like to gamble, takes a few days to settle then you can withdraw the value. Or if you're logged into swagbucks signup with their offer link and get 1000SB(10$) when you deposit 5$ or more. up to you! +10~$
4. Webull(ref) - Another mobile/web brokerage that gives you 1 free stock ranging from a few dollars to 1k using a referral link, though the chances are much worse than robinhood from what i've heard. You can deposit 100$ for a second shot but it might not be worth the time for what's most likely a few dollars. +3~10$(most likely)
5. Cash App(ref) - 5$ for using a referral if you don't already have an account. +5$
6. Aspiration alternative better referral offer - If you haven't made an account to redeem the 25$ from swagbucks, you can use a referral code to get 50$ when you deposit 10$. They will also donate 25$ on your behalf apparently. +50$

Other Ways

1. Chime(ref) - (requires 200$) Another banking app, make an account using a refferal code and deposit 200 to recieve 50$ then you can withdraw. Says direct deposit needed but worked transfering from schwab bank for me, Heard cash apping yourself works as well. +50$
2. TD Bank(ref link off google,not mine) - (requires 500$) Have yet to do this one but go for the TD convenience checking account, no fees ages 17-23 or with a balance above 100 and you get 150$ after deposits totaling 500$ within 60 days after which you can withdraw and close the acc. +150$
3. TastyWorks Challenge - (requires 2k) Tastyworks is a reputable brokerage made by the same people who designed the thinkorswim platform for TD Ameritrade. Make an account using this link (not a refferal) to spin a wheel for a possible 0-250$ or this link to get 100 shares of stocks (30% chance of stocks over 2$) then signup for the challenge with the account. Whats the challenge? Tastyworks will give you a phony account with 5K buying power and 2 days to earn up to 250$ on the account. Anything you make between 1-250$ at the end of the 2 day period will also be given to you when you deposit at least 2000 into your account and leave it for 6 months. You will not be responsible for any losses. Im somewhat experienced in trading so I was able to complete the challenge in 2 hours given current market volatility and recieved the email right after. *humblebrag\* If you've ever been interested in trading in the stock market this might be a fun little game to try out. Otherwise you can probobly just pick one direction all in and have a 50% chance to make all 250 or not with everything moving a few percentages a day. If you do have the 2k to get the potential 500$ I'd reccomend dollar cost averaging every few weeks on blue chip stocks as they'll most likely be worth much more in 6 months or just use the bonus if you dont want to risk the 2k. I am currently using this as my main brokerage, its a step up from robinhood but easier than thinkorswim +1-500+$
4. If you're an amazon prime customer they're also doing a promotion for 15$ credit torwards a purchase of 25$+ if you upload 1 photo to amazon photos. ref link off google
5. If you're out of work related to the coronavirus and arn't eligible for regular unemployment, check to see if you're eligible for PUA(pandemic unemployment assistance) in your state. Most states are starting to accept applications which could be around 600 a week once accepted.

I know there are big banks and other apps with signup bonuses as well but they usually require 5000$+ which I dont have rn or require direct deposit from an employer..which i also don't currently have. I didn't look into anything with crypto bonuses because I really dont want to deal with converting them. Hopefully 1 or more of you find this helpful and get some minor stimulation, and if you were able to make some money let me know how it goes! If a lot of people end up using my refferal links i'll give away portions to those that can prove to have a small negative balance. Anyway im off to finish my base in rise of kingdoms to get my 40$, good luck everyone!
