Attacking/defending
See map room, protection, monsters, towers, walls, defending and attacking tips, General Tips [defense] and General Tips [attacking] aswell.
How can I attack?You need a locker to research monsters, a hatchery to produce them, a monster housing to store them, a map room to find enemy bases and a flinger to fling monsters into battle.
1. If you have an army to attack with, view the map and find a target.
2. Then, click on the "+" to select the number of monsters, you want to fling in. now find a place away form buildings, where the cyrcle is white and click, to fling your monsters in.
Only do this if you are ready to lose your starter protection!
My base gets destroyed every day, what can I do?Bank
Can you collect quest rewards when your bank is full? Yes, you can.
Will you receive resources if you recycle buildings, when your bank is full? No, you can't.
Buildings
How can I move buildings? Click on it and hold for 1 second.
Can I rotate buildings? No, you can't.
Gifts
Why can't I send gifts to anyone? You can only send gifts to someone, if he didn't receive a gift from someone else already.
Monsters
Can monsters defend my base? No, but it might be added in future!
How can I destroy my own monsters? If you do not want to lose your protection: leave your housings without defence and hope for wild monsters to attack them. Or recycle your monster housing. If you do not have protection or do not care about losing it: attack a player with them. You can fling them in far away from the base and click "end attack", to prevent any damage. right now, there are no other ways.
Mushrooms
Will we be able to move them soon? Probably yes, but it might cost shiny.
Can they block attacking monsters? Yes.
Protection
When does someone get damage protection? If someones base is 30-60% destroyed, he gets 12 hours protection, >60% he gets 24 hours protection. If someone gets attacked 4 times within 1 hour, he gets 1 hour protection.
How long is Starter protection? 14 days.
Can you get attacked while playing ? No, but soon it will be possible. Wild monsters do only attack you while you are online.
How does protection work? While you are under protection, you can not get attacked by any player. Wild monsters still can attack you. As soon as you attack any other player, you will lose any protection.
Quests
See reset, bank or shiny.
Reset
Can someone reset my base? is there a reset button? No, it is not possible.
Will the game reset, when its out of beta? No, the developers are not "planing to do so".
Can someone reset my quests? If the quests had a bug, try reloading the page. If it does not help, send David a message about it.
Shiny
Why didn't I receive shiny after I completed an offer? Either you didn't complete the offer successfully or it's a bug which should be reported. Go to the "get more shiny" page and click "missing shiny" to do so.
Are the offers safe? Downloads may contain viruses.
I didn't get any shiny for the quests, what can I do? Make sure you collected the quest rewards and try reloading the game. If that does not help, try to contact David Scott.
Towers
for statistics, such as range or attack, see Backyard_Monsters_statistics
Do towers defend while being upgraded? No.
Will there be more towers soon? Probably yes.
Why is there no range displayed for the towers? Will be added in future.
Walls
Can monsters go through small gaps or diagonal walls? Yes, they can slip through the smallest gaps and aswell through diagonal walls.
Yes, the wall is too long or too weak, the monsters attack the wall. Eye-ra always attacks walls, unless there is no wall in range.
Is there a way to build or move multiple blocks at the same time? Might be added in future.
