New Land Expansion
After the event prize track is completed, players will have access to a new land expansion, accessible through Springfield Heights. In order to unlock this land, players will need to unlock the available land from Springfield Heights that leads to the bridge, and complete a quest to repair the bridge across the canyon. Once repaired, the player has access to the new land area and the first land tile on the other side of the bridge is unlocked by default.
On the other side of the bridge is a “Prospector’s Shack” already placed in the land. This building serves as the hub from which the player can send characters on prospecting jobs that unlock new land tiles in this new area. Tapping on this building shows the list of characters who can do these prospecting jobs, and the player can start the jobs from there. These jobs require Prospector Maps which are generated automatically over time by this building, and award Land Deeds to unlock the new land tiles.
As part of the event storyline, rumor has it that there are donuts in them thar hills, and everyone is headed to the northeast for the donut rush.
Every new land tile unlocked in the northeast will have a special donut vein decoration randomly placed in it, like a vein of ore, except full of donuts. When the player taps on the donut vein, they mine it and receive a small random amount of donuts, and then the vein becomes normal rocks.
To speed up the rate of acquiring the needed Prospector Maps, the player can acquire the Jackpot Realty building which generates Prospector Maps with its normal income job. Jackpot Realty is the final prize on the Black Friday prize track.
Land tiles in the new land expansion cannot be unlocked with the Free Land Tokens already existing in the game, and can only be unlocked using Land Deeds from the Prospector’s Shack.
With all this new land, the building cap has been increased by 1000, as well!

Tha ks Graham-S no idea what that means but clearly EA wants our money.
Graham-S
Yup, and it's the only time I think of spending any real cash now, if there's anything in that Gold box to go get. That and buying 132 Ds to get the GGR in my second town a couple of years ago.

SO... if this new land is in the NORTH EAST does that clarify our on going arguments about mapping North, South, East and West?! :laughing:
Brooders
Springfield Heights is West, the sea is South. I have my Christmas town in the NORTH according to where I believe the town map should be. But others DISAGREE with me!
Brooders
EA state in the description that this new land is north east...
Brooders
...which SCREWS with my map :grin:
FoxyHands
It’s in the northwest, not northeast, in the upper left corner. Any other answer is wrong.
Graham-S
Maybe what they meant is that that bridge is to the east of the north-west ?!?
