I made the mistake of fully upgrading the Donkey bike, and the game stopped giving me donuts in the bunker and for the prospector missions. Now that I need Donuts again (for the Agent bike), neither the bunker nor the prospector has offered them again.
Anyone else have this problem? I don't want to burn through gems... Any idea how to bring the donut train back?
Unfortunately there's no other way to get Dohnuts (apart from buying them for 20 Gems Each) either before you get the Donkey or if you've completed upgrading it !!
At present, Dohnuts only appear on the Slot Machine, Daily Prospector Missions and Loot Wheels once we have built the Donkey BUT they only stay available until fully upgraded !?!?
So, the only thing we can do for now is DON'T complete all upgrades on the Donkey, leave one of the upgrades 10th slot open for upgrade so that the Dohnuts don't disappear so they can be won / collected for upgrading the Agent Bike.....I know you're only just learning of this now Whitechapple so all I can say is sorry mate, I wish they had made a formal post about their mistake with this so that no-one gets stuck like this, in-fact they should-of thought about it and activated the Dohnuts properly when they introduced the Agent Bike as they knew that it needs them to upgrade it.....This is what they should-of done first but they didn't and now they're not even helping with the aftermath problems like yours !!
I had sent-in a Support Ticket about this and this is their reply along with what I wrote, copied/pasted from my inbox.....

Hello FatalDragon69, thank you for contacting us. My name is Trumaine and I will be looking into this case for you.
Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the late reply and for the confusion with gaining the donuts. I can confirm that at the moment gaining donuts depends on your completion of the donkey upgrades. Please find the following forum post that elaborates on this;
http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...o-I-get-donuts
The short version of this post is that if you do not have the Donkey parts, there are multiple ways to earn them, otherwise, it is through the daily prospector missions and slot machine (4th slot). Please let me know if you encounter any further issues or have any questions.
Kind regards,
Trumaine.

Dear Ubi & RedLynx,
I don't have the Donkey Bike yet but I've just built the new Agent Bike.....Both of these bikes need / use those Dohnut looking Nut Parts but at the moment there is nowhere in the game that I can collect these Dohnuts to help upgrade my Agent Bike !?!?
So my question is.....When will you be adding these Dohnut looking Nut Parts to the game for us to collect, so I can upgrade the Agent Bike ??
I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Thanks in Advance,
FatalDragon69
Notice how they gave me a link to a forum post made by a fellow rider complaining about the same thing, they appologised for something that I wasn't asking about then proceed to tell me how to get Donkey parts !?!?
ALL of which basically they avoided answering my question with any solid info or help !?!?
Since writing this I've managed to get the Donkey Bike built so I'm able to get Dohnuts for now, but I have only recently found out (from visiting this forum) that I shouldn't fully upgrade it as they'll disappear again.....What about those players that don't visit this forum though and people like yourself Whitechapple !?!?
The event has been running for nearly a month and they STILL haven't activated the Dohnuts so we can collect them if we don't have the Donkey or once we've completed upgrading it !!![]()

It's just one more thing to add to the list of things that needs sorting out in the Frontier right now.....Main thing is the Leader Boards though but this comes a very close 2nd in my opinion !!
It really saddens me (and MANY of my fellow riders feel the same, you just have to read around this forum) to see such a quality game being left to fall apart like this, even more so when I've paid a fair wedge of cash towards supporting it as well, only to have no support from the Devs (or questions avoided, like above, IF we manage to get a reply) ignored on the forums, no fix updates and bug-riddled events etc.etc.....I do my best to give a little back to the community by helping out on here when and if I can, which is more than I can say for the actual Forum Mods who get paid to do it, so this just saddens me more knowing that I've wasted my money trying to support those that made the game I enjoy as well.....It's a damn shame as they had the winning ticket but let it go !!
!! There are MANY of us that care about this game a LOT and we ALL just want the Frontier back to normal.....Just wish the Devs still cared as well !!
Thanks for the response, Fatal. The one thing this situation has taught me is to never buy the special event bundles.
I bought the Henchman special event bundle to support Frontier and to speed up the time it took to get the Agent bike. Had I been stingy, I would of spent way more time getting the bike and way less time being frustrated that I can't upgrade it without burning through gems.
I will wait until the Agent season is over, hopefully they address the issue then. If not, oh well - I don't have much motivation to upgrade it. I still enjoy playing Frontier, and hope future content packs are still in the works (maybe a 4x4 like in Trials Fusion ?!)
IIRC, someone from RL commented on the forums when the event started and someone flagged up the fact Doughnuts stop being given out. I think he/she said they were looking into fixing it as it, though like the slot machine bug, looks like it's going to be some time before a patch hits - probably after the Agents event is finished, now we're in the final week.
