How do i use the trains?
How do i use the trains?
1. First you must purchase one of the Locomotives from the trains section of the store. If you can afford it you can buy the Enhanced Freight Locomotive which is quicker than the coin Standard Locomotive. These are the 5 Locomotives along with the time that they take to make a trip and return home without Boosting them, also referred to as Accelerating a train, which will be explained in a post later in this Chapter. The time the trains will take to make their journey were reduced by one day in March 2020. The new times are in the picture below. When it comes to buying a faster locomotive than the Enhanced for your first set of working trains, you can not go straight to buying the fastest one which is the Turbo Locomotive. The locomotives must all be bought in order of speed before you can buy a faster one. For Example if you owned one Standard Locomotive and tried to skip speeds to buy the Supreme Locomotive instead of the Enhanced you would see this warning letting you know that you don't own the Enhanced Locomotive yet. ALWAYS check your farms, gift box and Item Storage before buying a Farm Cash Locomotive. 2. Then you must purchase at least one of the following train cars - Cost 35 Farmcash Each
To prepare your train for dispatch you need to have at least one Long Freight Car coupled to the Freight Locomotive. Using the Yellow Edit Hand in your tool box
With the faster locomotives it can sometime be difficult to know which end is the front or back of the locomotive. You need to attach the cars to the back of the locomotive. If you have problems with the train not connecting and the cars are all aligned it may be that the locomotive is just the wrong way around so try either :
This picture shows you which end of the locomotive to attach the cars to, indicated with the arrows. If you're not sure which orientation you picked just click on the locomotive and select "Rotate" from the menu and you will get the options again. 3. To manage your train click on the Locomotive and select 'Show Train Details'. The Long Freight Cars that are correctly coupled to your Locomotive will be highlighted in white. The ones that you don't own or that are not correctly coupled will be dimmed out. The example below shows 5 correctly coupled freight cars, and 3 that are either not connected correctly or not on that train. The scroll bar to the right lets you scroll through the list. The list also shows you how many coins each car will cost when dispatched on that particular train, how many markets it will go to and how long that will take without boosting the train. The costs, amount of markets and times vary depending on which locomotive is on the train. 4. To dispatch your train click the 'Dispatch Train' button. Only the Long Cars correctly coupled to your train will be dispatched to carry goods.
The Requirement to buy the 2nd set of working trains is that you must own ALL of the 1st set of locomotives. Then you can buy the second set in order of speed. For the 2nd set of trains you would start with owning 2 Enhanced Locomotives before you could buy the Supreme Locomotive for both trains. Then once you own 2 Supremes you can buy the Ultimate's and so on. Just like the first set of Locomotives had to be bought in speed order you can not go straight to buying the fastest one for your second working train which is the Turbo Locomotive. The locomotives must all be bought in order of speed. For Example if you owned one of all of the Locomotives, then tried to go straight to buying a 2nd Turbo Locomotive you would see a warning like this letting you know that you need to own 2nd Ultimate Locomotives before you can buy the 2nd Turbo. Similar popups will show according to what you already own, when you don't own the previous speed locomotives required to buy a faster Locomotive. IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the slower trains when you have purchased faster ones Do NOT sell any of them! The game needs to see which trains you own in order for you to buy the faster trains or a second set. ALWAYS check your farms, gift box and Item Storage before buying any Farm Cash Locomotive. You can have a total of 10 trains dispatched at any given time, two with Standard Locomotives, two with new Enhanced Locomotives, two with Supreme Freight Locomotives, two with Ultimate Freight Locomotives, and two with Turbo Freight Locomotives. Once you own 2 of each speed locomotive, remember that you can ONLY dispatch 2 of each speed locomotive. If you were to buy more than 2 of any speed train, only 2 of the same speed can be dispatched to bring you products. There is now a Train Manager tool in your Toolbox, which allows you to unload, dispatch and boost all of your trains on all of your farms from any of your farms. You can also Boost (Accelerate) your friends trains from there. Full details about it are explained later in this Chapter. Last edited by Tiger; Oct 12 2023 at 08:00 AM. |
