'''Upgrading Trains'''<br />The max time for trains is 5 hours, but the time can be reduced by upgrading trains using [[Foundry|ingots]] at the [[Academy of Industry]]. Trains are upgraded separately, and it's recommended to upgrade to level 21 first before any factories or islands. Also try to keep their levels similar, so if the 1st train is level 10 then make sure the others at level 10 as well. It's better to keep their levels close because it's easier to send off all trains at the same time and for them to come back around the same time to load again.

'''Using Cash to Fill Carts & Get Trains'''<br />You can use Tcash to fill carts like the plane, but it's just as costly to send it off if you're missing a lot of the items. It's better to spend the Tcash speeding up the production of items in factories than to use cash to fill carts directly. You can also spend 9 cash to get trains right away, and the cost reduces as the train gets closer to arriving.

Train Information
When you reach lvl 5 your first train will arrive at the Train Station. You can have a total of 3 trains. Train 2 and 3 will arrive as soon as you reach the required level and purchase them with coins. Trains can have between 3 and 5 carts, and the time for them to return increases as you level up.

Train number Level Needed Price
1 Level 5 Free
2 Level 14 1,000 Coins
3 Level 25 14,000 coins

Upgrading Trains
The max time for trains to return is 5 hours, but the time can be reduced by upgrading trains using ingots at the Academy of Industry. Trains are upgraded separately, and it's recommended to upgrade to level 21 first before any factories or islands. Also try to keep their levels similar, so if the 1st train is level 10 then make sure the others at level 10 as well. It's better to keep their levels close because it's easier to send off all trains at the same time and for them to come back around the same time to load again.

Using Tcash to Fill Carts & Get Trains
You can use Tcash to fill carts like the plane, but it's just as costly to send it off if you're missing a lot of the items. It's better to spend the Tcash speeding up the production of items in factories than to use cash to fill carts directly. You can also spend 9 cash to get trains right away, and the cost reduces as the train gets closer to arriving.

What are the Trains Rewards?
Send trains loaded with goods to other townships. First fill the trains' railcars with the type and quantity of goods shown on each railcar. You will get experience for your goods, but no gold. By sending off trains that are fully loaded you can get materials for community buildings, materials to upgrade your barn, tools to buy land expansions and tools for working in the mine. The train will return with some of these rewards:

Mining tools are delivered in a box containing random amounts of different mining of tools.

How to get more Building Materials

  • Treasure chests found in the mine give random rewards.
  • Cash chests found in the mine and friends towns (gold balloons) offer random rewards, but cost 3 Tcash to open.
  • Sending ships to islands with ingots gives them a chance to return with treasure chests that give random rewards.
  • Loading and sending fully-loaded airplanes. The mystery chest rewards sometimes have the material(s) you need.
  • There are often special crates with discounted tools and materials for Tcash that appear in the market.
  • You can always use Tcash to buy any materials you need if you don't have the patience.

Tip: The trains follow an algorithm that allows them to bring back random materials, but when you have too many of 1 material it can result in bringing back way too much of that same material. It's best to sell your materials if you have too many. Find the lowest amount you need to finish a community building or barn upgrade and sell your materials/tools down to 1 below what's required to complete the building or upgrade.

For example: If you have 50 glass, 20 bricks, and 20 slabs, and you need 40 glass, 30 bricks and 30 slabs to finish your next community building. Then it's best to consistently sell glass down to 39 until you get more bricks and slabs that you need (up to 29-30 of each).

If you have too many building supplies and your barn is full you may have to sell some of it. Look at your expansions, Community Buildings and Barn to see what is needed for your next building/expansion.
