Odd. I also am using lvl 15 Grinder with Red disk and Ive lost everytime (3) to those guys. I've tried different support bots but same effect. The caterpillar chews my grinder up.

They seemed to have also fixed the battle system. I've fought my grinder w/ red disk + random against caterpillar + carrier twice and lost pretty handily. I even tried two grinders with red disk and same result. Seems they added the rock, paper, siccors system. Also my lvl 10 bouncer has a gold star with his level number in it. Does anyone know what the star is for? All my other bots just have the normal circle.
Does he still have it! All of the stars with my bots are gone!
Nah it's gone now . He was special, if only for a moment.

Was trying a little experiment based on one of the little hints given in the opening blue message center, something about "Ranged".
The Caterpillar w/stinger is rated at a Ranged+++. The Aloe w/Fire Plant is rated Speed+, Ranged+++. Thinking the Ranged+++ was equal for both, maybe the Speed+ gave the Aloe a bit of an edge over the Caterpillar, so used it in the back-up spot to the Grinder w/red disk. So far, as a team they have not been beaten.
I suspect they might have fixed whatever was causing the grinder to always take "glance" blows from his opponents. That was the thing that was most overpowered for him. Glad to hear the Bouncer (with knuckles, I presume) has made a comeback!
edit: In unrelated news, I think I'll be testing out whether the cost goes up when you don't do all of your expansions for a given level before leveling again. Current cost: 2,725,000 (level 34), and I still need two more expansions with just a sliver of xp left for my level.
It doesn't or it didn't. My daughter didn't expand her outpost for a couple of levels and the price was set according to the segment number.
Confirmed: the cost didn't go up for my next tile after leveling.

Yeah I rationally tend to put a range bot as support since its hitting from a distance. After I realized that Grinder was actually a reincarnation of Hercules (mine is actually named Samson), I threw rationality out the window like BFS obviously did with the arena fighting algorithm.
I'll give Aloe a shot when I get enough crystals for the fire plant. I've even tried using Grinder in both slots thinking with his invincibility two immortals would surely be a sure bet. Nope. I only lose to the Caterpillar + Carrier combo. Other opponents are brutal beatings by the hands of Samson. My only guess is that dang Caterpillar is sneaking into the locker room before the match and cutting Samson's beautiful locks.

Thats AWESOME Fletch! I don't know how I'll ever manage to move things around on my thingamajig (oddly enough this was an autocomplete word haha). :-). I'm just messin Fletch. Making sure to point that out to prevent past transgressions.
Although I went up a level yesterday and the next goal was to expand my outpost, ever since then, the only goals I've been given are to breed a builder bot (which I immediately sell), buy a second builder zone (which I immediately sell), and to give a gift to a friend. Having given away my three gems as directed, I have no more to give until tomorrow. I can still expand my outpost by two tiles, and could buy one more Snax Shop, but I'm wondering if I should just wait until those come up in my goals, so I gain the XP?
Yes. I'm making a maze on my outpost. Dropped down a lot of garden beds and moved them into place. Still a long way from finished. Especially as I keep expanding my Outpost.

Well I guess I should inform you sir that I will be sneaking over to take a look. Just don't complain about the inhumanly amount of feces scattered around the post. I blame your unconsciousable absense of sanitation facilities. Oh! And of course Tommy (deny, deny, deny). That is all.

I finally gave in last night and downloaded gizmonauts. I need another addictive game like I need a hole in my head:)
Anyway, I'm about halfway through the posts on this section. I'm stopping for a while since my brain is just about fried. I now know to look for the crystal to find out what to speed up. Sorry if I sped your food instead of your breeding lab (oops).
You all have my permission to stop posting for a bit until I get caught up reading the backlog

Yes, set up a crystal so I know what to speed up! I took a guess at the breeding lab.
While I find Dv fine on the iPhone, Gn gives me problems, I am forever speeding up the wrong thing as I try to scroll around, so apologies to everyone!
I am on the Ipad and try to visit the whole park before boosting something but sometimes the crystal is in a very remote place and I miss it, Or am coming towards the end of my 80 friends list and am getting tired and bang i push the wrong thing.

Thanks, Pam! I've gotten my act together now. And thanks to my DV/GN friends who have sent crystals. I'm keeping a rolling list to gift you all back.

I managed to get the Fire Plant for Aloe. The combo did manage to best the Caterpillar + Carrier albeit BARELY. My Aloe is only lvl 11 right now so it probably won't be as close of a call when I get it to 14/15 to match the competition. Any other combo I can beat with Grinder + Random lvl 5 bot.

A fast way to unlock this avatar is selecting any building then Move/Done buttons alternatively up to 150 times without moving the building.
Sorry but why would one want these avatar, they are just like the pictures they give to kiddies at the kindergarden when they did something well, i prefer the personalized avatars gamers are using in all medias like here, on DV and on gizmo.

The ones toward the bottom of the list have goals to achieve to unlock them, rather than to hatch a bot to unlock. Not that anyone actually wants to use the avatar, but to have some goals to finish like the ones in DV.
