About the Handy Man and the in-app purchase

Hi,



Since the last update (update 1.1 on iOS) the Mister Handy can be purchased. I have a few questions, and also a feedback about that. Note that I will, probably, reposte the Part 3 in the General discussions.



1 - I didn't knew, from the updates notes on iOS, that I had to purchase it. So at the beginning, I couldn't find it...



2 - It is unclear if the Mister Handy is a one time purchase, and will be available in another vault if I start another one (on the same, or on another device). Meaning it is unclear if this purchase can be restored into another game. Could you clear that up ? I want to know what I am paying for.



3 - The Mister Handy is a great idea. But it suffer from another new feature, the Deathclaws. I'll explain this in details :



? Before, a player may put 2 gardians at the entrance of his Vault, and if they had great weapons (having both 20 or more damage power), the thiefs would never go into another room. Meaning that the player could just leave the game for a few minutes on without having to be scared of an attack.



? The Mister Handy would come in handy there, since he could actually allow the player to continue to do so even more, since the player who would use it could just "heal" and "play" the game without having to collect.



? But the Deathclaws changes everything. Now a player will open, collect, and then quit the game quickly, as the fear of staying online and being attack by the Deathclaws will forbid anyone to keep the game open more than necessary on their device, especially if they can't heal the dweller in case of attack. Meaning that the player won't pay for the Mister Handy, as it is useless if the player doesn't keep the game open, and also made useless by the fact that the ressources obtained by the Mister Handy will actually be stollen/eaten by the Deathclaws.




As I believe the game is really nice, and that the devs and the support must be paid, I am ready to pay for Mister Handy. But only if it can be restored on another game/device. I am not willing to pay again if I start the game from scratch one day.



Thanks in advance for you time and answers !

Please for the love of Death Claws do not buy that hand. it dies, just like dwellers, and on top of that it cannot be transferred between vaults. there is no cloud save. And when your vault gets big enough (in other words, you are less likely to spend money), your savegame will corrupt and all your money will go with it. please. don't. do this.
