General information[]

The Radio Tower is a structure that can be built after a level 2 Town Hall is constructed (only on Facebook). The Radio Tower sends you an e-mail alert if your yard is attacked, allowing you to quickly come back in time to repair, see who attacked you, and/or prevent more attacks. You may only get 2 e-mail notifications from 2 differrent attackers each day. You may also choose get news and update notifications. The downside is, that for some people, the game crashes when they enter their e-mail information - and after the crash is recovered from, they can't recycle it. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to build the Radio Tower, because the quest reward is ten times higher than the construction costs. Since the construction period is less than five minutes, you can just skip this using the (free) "speed up" button inside the General Store, without losing Shiny. After that, players can recycle it or turn it off.

Bugs and Glitches[]
