How to send out the salvage droids

Apart from paying 4 Bux, there is no way to actually increase the number of decorator droids that visit your Death Star. They are randomly generated like all of the other VIPs.

Obviously, this is no longer a critical matter since the most recent update. But, for completeness, I wanted to post an answer to this question.

It is a bug, and has nothing to do with your system.

The first 2014 Android update to Tiny Death Star introduced a myriad of problems and bugs, including, but not limited to:

1. defaulting all custom settings.
2. refusing to set any custom settings; therefore:
   1. asking you to set notifications every application start
   2. asking your to connect to Facebook every application start
3. forcing you into perpetual tutorial mode; therefore:
   1. locking you out of completing Imperial Tasks
   2. locking you out of Salvage Droid missions
4. not resolving the "no Retail Value greater than 8 on Android" bug.

As of the time of this answer posting, there has not been an update to resolve these issues.

When I asked Disney Mobile Support (support@disneymobile.com) about this issue they responded in late March with the following email:

Hi,
