Tips On Construction Materials

• If you have more than 1 community building waiting for materials at a time, this may throw off the train algorithm and bring you extra unwanted materials from trains. Therefore, it is suggested to have only one community building or zoo enclosure under construction or waiting for the materials required.
• Avoid using the tool exchange frequently because you need building materials to complete zoo enclosures.
• Having too much of 1 type of construction material from trains can result in getting too many of the same material. It's best to sell materials if you have too many of one type. Find the lowest amount needed to finish a community building or barn upgrade and sell the materials/tools down to 1 below what's required to complete the building or upgrade.
• Never exchange materials that you require to build community buildings with tools, in the tool exchange .
• Using T-cash to buy materials is quite expensive. It's better to use trains, Plane,Play House of luck or buy offers in the city market instead.
