my answer is regarding the base of the 2nd pyramid. It's located in the Hammer icon. From what I see on all worlds, it looks like the only space for it will on the left of the 1st pyramid so clear space by moving everything down below the imaginary line from the 1st pyramid base. I moved my quarries to the left and upgraded them to the subterranean quarries. Once I know exactly where it was, I was able to fill in some spaces w power towers. I am limiting mine to avoid lag. Some worlds have gone wild about the Aswans by grouping all the quarries and then on all 4 sides built 5 rows of Aswans. This gives tremendous power, but others have stated those worlds suddenly lags on the phones. Same for houses and 5 rows for Aswans. Although some ppl have shared the same rows for the next group of items. For example 5 rows of Aswans, a group of quarries, 5 rows of Aswans, a group of houses and another 5 rows of Aswans. Then below all that They built megafarms so they shared the Aswans on the North end while putting a new 5 rows in btwn the 3 groups of megafarms.

DNA comes from houses, not the population. So the more houses u have powered by the Aswans, the faster. Also I assume u have the Suntemple to collect all at once.

I have 7 rows of 17 houses that I grew from small to large w/o adjusting visually for size so now the look like condos, instead of houses w spaces around it. Each line has 2 Aswans bookending.

The reason for that is I measured from tower to tower the power they provide so the middle houses gets the exact same power as the ends do. I'm currently building the 2nd row to provide additional power.

By now u shd b on version 1.0.53. they seem to have solved most the issues.

If u r talking about version 1.0.52, u r right. They updated to .53, which seems to have solved most of the issues. Every now and then the videos suddenly r 'not available'. U can do several things. Wait a few mins; exit that window and go back; go into ur application settings for the game and 'clear cache'. I do the last step once a month just to clear out old files; game seems to run better.

I have yet to purchase anything.

u can use PDs to get equal amt of blocks. I had 5 temples w 3 Savants each. They really saved a lot of time especially during the 3.6 million blocks mission.

Yay!! Congrats!!

Build ur farms around an oasis and an oblisk. I have 2 oasis w 7 megafarms around each.

Update: when I mentioned the PD booster, I didn't realize at the time u can use those extra PDs to trade for blocks. My 3.6 mill mission has finally moved. I collected almost 2 mill in the past 2 weeks via this trade method.

When u say u can't start building the 2nd pyramid, is it cuz u have not found the base for sale inside the Build Tab?

Recommend building 2 or 3 temples for that lady, when it says to add workers, use savants instead. These temples gives u a big PD boosts. Do build the Sun Temple as soon as u can.

Have u tried the + option the circle menu? I've added workers specifically to that mine or that quarry just by that. If it doesn't work, did this issue start recently? If so, it may be the new update. Hearing it got bugs.

When u tsp on the palace, a circle of options shd pop up. Bottom left u shd see 3 arrows pointing up. Click that. Go from there.

Hard to see when zoomed. How many large and medium houses do u have? I have seen one person commented that it was a waste of gold to build large houses. Is that true?

Re-reading the question. In order for u to upgrade to hydraulic mines, u already needed to have an obelisk. To upgrade further u need to research Massive Machinery. That's where I'm at now, collecting and saving 137k of DNAs. Whoo!

How do u get so much resources and PDs?

How do u add friends? I've seen ppl post that question, but have not yet answers.

In addition to houses, build Temples. They give u PD boosters. The more houses (and farms to support them) the more DNA to b collected. Save the Iridium!! They will become valuable later. Watch the videos when u need more PDs to harvest. I know it's long and boring way, but it saves the Iridiums.

Same advice goes for the pyramid missions. There will be one in which u have to place 3.6 million blocks. I've been watching 15-20 videos a day for a measly 100 blocks per video. I'm not going to buy said blocks. So far no one's told me how to do it faster, outside of spending $ or Iridiums.

Matt, others have asked that question since November and I have not seen an answer yet.

Did u check the build tab for the 2nd pryamid base?

U shd start w 2 quarries already in ur screen. To get more u need to upgrade ur palace so the screen expands, exposing more bluffs and veins. Relocate them closer to the pyramid.

This is where I'm now.

Have u put a mine from ur Build tab onto the vein? Same w the quarry into the limestone.

How do u have so much in the banks? I have 5 hydraulic mines, and 2 quantum quarries w 2 reg quarries; 7 level 3 houses. I am struggling to collect enuf gold, DNA, and iridium to purchase blocks, buildings, and research.

I'm new. Level 42 with only 3 layers of blocks. I have 2 quarries w quantum mines, and 2 regular quarries.i have 25 workers, 7 of them r minotuars, 2 just upgraded to savants (if that's the right term). How can I speed up the pyramid?
