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 No.	Level	Price
1	Level 5	Free
2	Level 14	1,000 Coins
3	Level 25	14,000 coins

Train Upgrades

The max return time for trains is 5 hours, but it can be reduced with upgrades at the Academy of Industry.

• Trains are upgraded separately, and it's recommended to upgrade them to level 21 as soon as possible.
• At level 21 trains return times are reduced by 50% and take between 2h:7m to 2h:30m to return.
• Try to keep train levels similar. If the 1st train is level 10 then make sure the others at level 10 as well.
  • It's easier to send off all trains at the same time, so they come back around the same time.
• You can help contribute by updating the table with the 3 different train times at various levels.

Level	Time Reduced	Least Time	Most Time
1	-0%	4h	5h
3	-5%	3h48m	4h45m
5	-10%	3h36m	4h30m
7	-15%	3h24m	4h15m
9	-20%	3h12m	4h
11	-25%	3h	3h45m
13	-30%	2h48m	3h30m
15	-35%	2h36m	3h15m
17	-40%	2h24m	3h
19	-45%	2h12m	2h45m
21	-50%	2h7m	2h30m

Train Rewards

Send trains loaded with goods to return with rewards. You will gain XP for loading goods, but no coins.

By filling and sending off trains you can get materials for community buildings, materials to upgrade your barn, tools to buy land expansions and tools for digging in the mine.

• Mining Crates are rewarded sometimes, and contain random amounts of different mining tools.
• Helping your friend Ernie to fill his train cart will give you a 1 Tcash golden balloon the next day.
• You will need some Shovels, Axes, and Saws to unlock and explore the Islands.

Obtaining Building Materials

How to obtain more building materials.

• Sell products in the zoo
• Sending trains loaded with goods.
• Sending fully-loaded airplanes. The mystery chest rewards random material(s).
• Sending off ships with ingots has a chance to bring back chests that give random rewards.
• Opening the daily treasure chest found in the islands gives a random reward.
• Opening chests at the House of Luck gives random rewards.
• Treasure chests found in the mine give random rewards.
• Participating in weekly Regattas and global events for random rewards.
• Opening hot air balloons in Townships. 1st is free daily (24h) then 3 Tcash to open.
• Cash chests in the mine and friends towns offer random rewards, but cost 3 Tcash to open.
• Special crates with discounted tools and materials for Tcash often appear in the market.
• You can always use Tcash to buy any materials you need if you don't have the patience.

Load Coupons

Load coupons are occasionally offered as community event rewards. With a load coupon you can fill any trains cart or planes crate including any friend who needs help. The option will appear as long as you have load coupons available.

Train Tip

Can an editor reveiw this it is not making sense and is not clear.

The trains follow an algorithm bringing back random materials, but having too many of 1 material does not 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 what's required to complete the building or upgrade if you need to free up barn space.

Example: You have 70 glass, 20 bricks, and 20 slabs...and you need 40 glass, 40 bricks and 40 slabs to finish the lowest level community building.

Sell glass down to 40, so more bricks and slabs will come on trains. The trains will bring random items in random amounts but the first items are needed more or more common like the expanding tools so you get more of the first item less of the newer items. Also computers can't really do random numbers. You just have to balance your barn and materials until you get to a level where you can sell them between levels or don't need them any more.

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.

Using Tcash for 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 Tcash to get trains right away, and the cost reduces as the train gets closer to arriving.
