I'm not sure exactly what happened there, but you need to refresh the browser or click "home" after a production cycle finishes before you can do anything else.

It does have a few bugs, it's best to post them on them in their forum, I think their moderator is going to hate me soon 

Thank you a lot for your reply, TheQuin. With this and BardanDoyle's tips in the OP, I should at least have an idea of what I'm doing.  

There are a few idiosyncrasies of the UI that had me confused at first, for instance, the message and icon that you got once a building had gone through a whole production cycle was to collect the product manually, not to repeat the last thing you did?   (I lost a cycle in my quarry because of that, as I went to upgrade it before collecting the stones... d'oh) and a few translation oops here and there (There's a part of the Research section partially untranslated, though by the icons I assumed they were talking about efficiency and power...) but so far, I like how this game brings me back to my OGame days, in a good way.   I won't certainly miss having to get up at 2 am and juggle with my ship fleets to prevent them getting all blown up.

Getting Started in GoldenTowns.

Having not played games for many years and having no experience with this type of game (Gran Turismo is more my style) I didn’t have a clue what I was doing at the start. However GoldenTowns is pretty intuitive and I quickly learned by my mistakes, so here are a few tips to get you on your way.

1)   Make sure you have enough workers.

The tutorial built another house for you so you have room for 2 more workers, so start off by hiring another worker at City Hall.

2)   Happiness is important!

The reason for this is that happiness is achieved by upgrading the housing. This in turn allows you to hire more workers. When you upgrade the production facilities a worker is employed there and is no longer available for construction. So focus on upgrading the housing as much as possible and make sure to hire at least 2 extra workers before upgrading each production facility.

3)   Accumulate raw materials.

Raw materials can be exchanged at the market. Meet, wood and iron are the most important at the start. Vegetables are cheap so exchange others for them.  You need to upgrade the road from City hall to them to do be able to upgrade them. Also watch out that your warehouse doesn’t fill up or you will lose whatever is produced or bought!

4)   Design your layout.

The influence system is important to understand or you will end up having to build duplicate buildings. I Googled for hints on this and I’m not sure the advice I got was good so I needed to build a second Police and Fire department. On the Inventory page there is a FAQ, look at the Building Types page which tells you what influence each building type needs to be under to be upgraded to that level. Plan it out on a spread sheet before you start building and things will be much easier (I wish I had).  You can see the influence area of a building by hovering the pointer over it. The area expands out by 1 square all around it at each building level upgrade.

5)   Investing is optional.

You will find that you run out of energy. It is refilled at 1 per hour in level 1, but this increases as you progress through the levels. In order to speed things up you can buy gold and use that to refill your energy if you are in a hurry (note the price are always changing depending on demand so check which top up is best value each time).  Also you can buy raw materials again so as to not have to wait. I would advise against using the finish now button as that is relatively expensive.  An investment of 10 EUR will be more than enough to get you through to level 5 without any delays; of course you could just take your time and do it for free.

6)   Time.

The tasks all get longer it each level, so level 1 tasks take 3 hours for one worker, level  2 is 6 hours up to 48 hours to level  5. That means at the start there is quite a lot to do but as you progress you will need to spend much less time managing the game, just come back 2 or 3 times a day for 10 or 15 minutes.

7)   Taxes.

Just like real life taxes are inevitable and start from level 2 at 10% and then more come in at level 5. C’est la vie. The tax to your referrer is taken even if you didn’t sign up with a referral link so you are not losing out there.


Overall I’m really enjoying playing so far. I’ve just starting with the economics side of the game. Shares in other towns, bonds and game shares all pay out dividends in raw materials and gold. Then there is still the whole mining for gold thing, you need to get to happiness 50 before that can start and then the real money can start coming in.

It came to my attention looking the transactions on my wallet that i have paid 2 times a bonus to a lucky person, but this probably mean that i have skipped another one. (that's not sure but there is this possibility)

While the person that received the extra bonus can consider it as a gift, if someone has not received the claimed bonus please, let me know

Thanks

No i will not.
The bonus that i offer has been evaluated for being sustainable for long time on large scale and all the claimed bonus until now has been fully honored and paid timely in minutes/hours since the request.

Also please, take a look on this thread and do come comparison with the one that you mention;
While this promotion is handled like a family, that share suggestions, strategy, gaming experience, information for move the first step and avoid mistake, pictures and even breaking news about the game (like the announcement of the Wallet), on the other "promotion" there isn't a single aspect of the game explained or even remotely mentioned.

So, do your evaluation and feel free to gamble and "eventually" being paid more one day.

You can ever come back there when you need help for raise your city and we will be happy to help you in any case, whatever link you used to signup  

Thanks

This guy is paying so much more on lv 5 bonus https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/play-a-game-as-my-referral-earn-up-to-1-btc-333865

Would you update ? else i would just play under him..

Huh... interesting. Well, I signed up for it, and I'll be giving it a try later and update my status there.   Using same username as in the forums: ChaosFox

EDIT: Finished the tutorial. Hope I'm just not too late to the party  

Yes, that's where I put mine, and get it to level 2 so it could get most of the houses under influence, try to get as much happiness as you can, your citizens will live A LOT longer.

Yes, and only less than 10% has been mined so far (10000 our of 100000) and it's been over 3 months.  You've got some more time. ;0

Thanks, this is some really helpful info. I have already built but I wont mine it as you suggested.I found some guide that says that
you should buld your police station near your market in the right corner, so I did.I hope thats a good place.

Yes, is limited, but is continously reacquired and redistributed by the game through the expense that go to the miners found, so it will not finish

Also you will notice that it cost a lot of resource, and the needed resource for extract 1 gold are updated each hour and you can find it under the GOLD tab in your navigation bar


I need your ingame username and btc wallet.

But mining gold is so tempting. Also, isn't there a limited amount of gold?

Hello BardanDoyle


Claiming the 0.001 BTC bonus (level 2 reached)

Thanks

It's not about they levels.  I suggest having this before mining 0.1 + Gold a day:

Level 4+ of each production building
Happiness 30% +
No attacks on your city

Also, be sure to place your gold mine in a remote area.  I made the mistake of placing it near my town hall, where my police station should have been

Also, NEVER, EVER let your buildings go to 100% degradation, they turn to vegetation.  3 of my buildings are now vegetation, which would cost me a total of 600 resources to remove..

So at what level do you recommend to start gold mining?

Im in

Agreed with monbux.
You can start to build your goldmine at level 3, but i personally suggest to get first your production building upgraded to max, so your city will grow.  When grow is enough, start mine gold

Booooo, I had already created account before using the referral link 

Nah.  Try to not mine for gold until your resource buildings are level 4 or over.
This way, you will be a whole lot more financially stable.

I can't wait until I can mine some gold.....level 3 right?

Thanks for your support but show some patience my friend

He made his point, and i made mine
