TRICKS

1. To make coins you need to buy the best coin return giving stores you can for your level and also buy the best coin giving decorations you can....For lower level players I highly recommend playgrounds and the volcano, for mid level players I highly recommend the giant Amethyst, the totem and street lamps and for higher level players i highly recomend the giant Sapphire / Ruby and for xp only the windmill (this is a crystal purchase item).......Take a look at the Tiny Village Wiki to work out which stores are the best ones for your level.

2. As your Tiny Village is saved to the Tinyco server there is a "Save to server" lag so once you start something building or a receipt making in a store, wait a little while before you close the game otherwise when you come back the building / receipt may not be there....

2. Use the space in your village wisely as expansion costs increase with each expansion....

3. You do not need to spend crystal to get a crystal Dino, all the Dino's can be gotten via random eggs BUT they are hard to get this way so you will need to be patient.....

4. Once you have feed your Dino's for the first time, if you can not afford to feed them then don't .... Nothing will happen to them

5. To move your Dino's from one habitat to another, simply click on the Dino, click on raise then click on the i and then click move....

6. You can store your Dino habitats in the inventory but you can not store your Dino's.....

7. When you go to purchase something you can see if/where it will fit in your village by clicking on it and hovering it over your village, if you decide not to buy it simply click the x button instead of the tick....

8. For the cost of them crystal stores really do not give any better returns then coin stores....

9. Running your stores (well most stores anyway) at there shortest receipt (if you can) will earn you xp and make you coins a lot faster then running them at there longest receipt.

10. Stay away from the right hand side of your screen when collecting coins, to help avoid accidental crystal spends...as the crystal spend screen always opens on the right hand side.

11. If you have more resources then you can use...Sell them at the market, all resources can be sold there you just need to scroll down to see the ones you can not see when you open the tab....

12. If you are not using your Dino hatchery make some room in your village by putting it in storage (this also stops you from having accidental dino purchases) but keep in mind that if you wish to purchase a new habitat you will need to place the hatchery back in your village before you will be able to do so....

13. The amount of coins you get in each different coin purchase package increases as you increase in levels....

14. If you are going to purchase crystals, take a look at the booster packs TV release into your game most weekends. These contain crystals plus other stuff and are good value for money and most weekends TV offer bonus crystals if you purchase all three booster packs....

15. Some stores/decorations are avaliable in the game for a LIMITED time only and state as much, where as some stores/decorations are LIMITED in the amount of them you can purchase but do not state this. EG - the street lamps are limited to 8 of each type.....

16. Design your own village !!! don't just do what you see others are doing, have a bit of fun with your village and make it the way you want it.

17. Crystal producing items returns and costs - Crystal tree = 1 crystal ever 12hrs for a purchase price of 299 crystals - Crystal bank = 1 crystal every 18hrs for a purchase cost of 99 crystals - Crystal store = 1 crystal in 12hrs for a cost of 600 stone, 2 crystals in 1day 6hrs for a cost of 1200 stone, 1 crystal in 1day 20hrs for a cost of 1800 stone for a purchase cost of 349 crystals.....

TIPS

1. When you first start to play TV (Tiny Village) take the time to read the in game HELP section....this is located by clicking on the mallet and clicking on settings (up the top) then clicking Help...

2. Your game is device specific so it can only be played on the device you originally download it to...

3. Your game can be transferred to a new device by Tinyco but both the new and old device MUST be the same platform..EG Apple to Apple or Android to Android. To get a device transfer you need to install TV on your newdieticiane and then from within the game send them a support ticket email requesting a device transfer, make sure to include your new and old ID's and your new and old device UDID/EMEI numbers and add Device Transfer to the email subject line..... device transfer is currently taking around 3 to 4 weeks.

4. Level tasks (such as the wonders tasks) will remain in your game until you complete them BUT weekly tasks will only remain in your game for a set period of time, so complete the weekly tasks first....

5. Sales icons are not actually tasks !!!!! they are exactly that "SALES" therefore if you do not want to participate in the sales you don't have to.... The icons will go away once the sale has ended...

6. If you ever need to contact support, use the in game support email link (located at the bottom of the help page) as this auto fills in your device UDID / EMEI, DO NOT erase the subject in the subject line just add a key word or two describing your issue EG - TRANSFER or FAILED PURCHASE or GAME FREEZE, also remember to state your TV ID in your email and give as much detail about your problem as you possibly can...IF for some reason you can not access the in game support email link then go to tinyco.com/support and complete the form there but remember to state your UDID/EMEI number and your TV ID in the form

7. If you have an accidental crystal spend...this is not TV's fault and you should not expect them to refund your crystals...

8. If you have crystals vanish from your game, send TV a support ticket email from within your game and they will look at your game log and if there is a bug or glitch within your game log they MAY refund your crystals but do not expect them to.....

9. If you have a problem with your game EG - it won't load or keeps shutting down ect, try closing down all the background running apps on your device and if that does not work try uninstalling and reinstalling the TV app (you won't loose anything as your game is saved on the TV server) although as some devices are no longer compatable with TV, you should check to make sure your device is still compatable before you uninstall it. Usually if you successfully down loaded the last update, then your device is still compatable.....

10. If you need to know what something is or how to do something and the answer is not in the help section of your game, then go to the TV Facebook fan page and READ some of the comments and answers and then if you can not find the answer, post a comment on the page.....

11. If you have a problem with in game purchases EG - you can not make purchase or you do not recieve what you bought....Send TV a support ticket email from within your game but only send 1 as repeat sending of tickets just increases the wait time for a reply (which is currently around 4 weeks), and also contact iTunes / google play or who ever your device uses for in game purchases and in some cases you may also try contacting your bank....
If you try to make an in game purchase and you get an error telling you to contact iTunes / google play or who ever your device uses for in game purchases, then contact them as the issue is more then likely at there end not at TV's end.....

12. Keep in mind when you post on the TV Facebook page that it is only a FAN PAGE and that people who actually work for TV are very rarely on there....So if someone tries to answer your question do not get mad and bite their head off as they are usually just other players trying to help you....

13. Keep in mind that abusing other players and/or TV or spamming the Facebook page will not help you, it will just get you Banned.
