    You get to salvage and sell stuff once you hit level... 9, I think?

    I can't seem to find a table online showing equipment stats. It would be nice to know if gun A was better than gun B, before gun A had been upgraded. It's really hard to know which equipment I should be wearing.

    Starting to run into a number of bugs in the equipment grind. Hope they issue a patch soon
    You need blueprints to upgrade stuff. Gun blueprints upgrade armor, armor blueprints upgrades crew, crew blueprints upgrades guns.

    Wait, what?

    Couple family members just got android tablets. They're looking for Farming games, that preferably are offline or at least don't require/push you into having a bunch of friends to "help." Also without completely ridiculous permissions/spyware.

    It seemed like that would only be possible with a payed game, but I'm having little luck finding anything that doesn't seem complete garbage at all. It doesn't help that I have 0 interest in the genre myself.

    Does uh...does anyone have any suggestions to consider/pass along?

    Literal "Farming" games? As in planting seeds and growing stuff like Animal Crossing?

    ...all right, I'm gonna go install this Uprising thing you folks are chatting about.

    Also, I'd love some good adventure games for my phone... any suggestions? I liked "Creatures Such As We" though it was pretty short.

    If you by adventure mean text-heavy, choose-your-own-adventure affairs, i can not rekommend the inkle games "80 days" and "sourcery!" enough. Wonderful games.

    Man I need another game to play on my phone. Final Fantasy Record Keeper is now taking WAY too long to play in the mornings and I need something more involved than Fallout Shelter. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm open to pretty much anything as long as it doesn't involve too much swiping on the phone. I prefer menu-based if possible.

    So Uprising. I did one of those dangerous crew missions, only a 75 or 80% chance of success or whatever. It failed, as all missions with < 100% chance of success seem to do. And it straight up permakilled one of my Crew. That's it, no chance of rescue or revival: they are dead and gone, end of line.

    Can't decide if I'm impressed or annoyed.

    I like it.

    For a mobile game to not monetize some kind of binary loss... It's refreshing.

    Plants Vs Zombies 2. It's real time, but you can just play the daily special level and stockpile resources if you're short on time. In case you heard bad things about it at some point, it's now a MASSIVE game, with much more content than the original. There are plants you have to buy with real money, but you can of course win without them. And you get to use the pay plants on the dailies sometimes, so it's not even like you won't get to use them ever.

    Added, promoted.

    Are we limiting this to just PA members? Lvl20 seems like it will take a while, and as far as I can tell the cartel is worthless until then.

    Also, I see people are recommending to buy the second day bonus pack with your premium space money, and I'd concur -- I wish I'd known when I had the chance. It's a lot of cash and materials to grease the wheels, you make plenty in the next day or two to cover the cost, and I expect I'll get bored of the grind and drop the game before I find somewhere better to spend it.

    PA and friends is usually what we do. I thought I saw the cap on cartel members is something tiny like 40, we'll probably hit that without opening up general recruiting.

Everything else is clickable but the Install button is not. Has anyone run into this? I've restarted my phone, verified that I allow installs from other sources, and made sure every security setting is off.

    I can't say that I ran into that.. you're buying and installing them through Underground, right? Like, opening it, finding the thing you want etc.? I'm just asking because I didn't know this at first, and was trying to get stuff through the appstore app instead.

    Yeah I launch the Underground app, find the app, click the download button and then it prompts me to install. I just cannot click "Install", "Cancel" works and everything else does.

    If you're on Android, you'll need to enable "apps from unknown sources" as well. I toggle that option only when I install Amazon appstore/Underground apps; which is not often.

    So has Underground completely replaced the Amazon Appstore android app? It looks it includes paid apps as well, seemingly making the other app redundant.
