New Release -- March 18th, 2020

[Grumpdad]

Love the idea of the reduced time for the trains to return, but am getting miffed by the amount of train boosts I receive that have been boosted already and miffed by the amount of people posting on their time lines "If you want to sent train boosts to all your neighbours, leave me out or I will remove you" You need now to restrict the amount of boosts sent out to the amount allowed by the train and no more for say 18 hours??

Hi Grumpdad,
I am sorry, but we can control how people play. With the increased boosts and the train manager you might want to check your My Requests more often to check for train boost requests. If you have a suggestion on how to change the way trains are done please post it in the Suggestions section where we organize them for the developers to view.

6. Increased train benefits:

a) Reduced travel times for ALL trains by 1 day, i.e.: the Standard Locomotive takes 6 days, the Turbo Locomotive takes 2 days, etc
b) When unloading a train, if you have at least 3 trains dispatched or ready to unload with 10 cars each, you will earn an extra bonus of 80% of the products delivered by that train. Note that any of your trains have the chance to earn this bonus, not only those with 10 freight cars.

Can you please clarify the note at the end of this item. It may just be me but it appears to contradict the original message. It says you have to have at least 3 trains dispatched with 10 cars each, the note then says that any trains can earn the bonus not only those with 10 cars. At the moment I have 2 Engines with 10 cars each. Would I have to buy another Engine and 10 cars to get bonus or just a couple of cars ? Thank you

Hi barbaraelwart,

Let me see if I can clear it up a bit for you.

When unloading a train, if you have at least 3 trains dispatched or ready to unload with 10 cars each, you will earn an extra bonus of 80% of the products delivered by that train.

To qualify for the bonus you must have a minimum of 3 trains with 10 different long cars on each of them (meaning you can't have 2 of the same long car on the same train). So yes, if you only have 2 trains with 10 long cars you need one more with 10 long cars on it.

When you only have 3 trains with 10 long cars, to get your bonus, they must all be either dispatched or ready to unload. Then, if more than one of the trains was ready to unload, only unload and dispatch one at a time, so you get the bonus for each of them.

Note that any of your trains have the chance to earn this bonus, not only those with 10 freight cars.

This means, if you then had a 4th train or more, but those only had one or a few long cars on them. To get the bonus for those trains, as long as the 3 trains with 10 long cars are dispatched or ready to unload, when you unload a train with less long cars on it, that one also qualifies for the mayor bonus even though it has less than 10 long cars.

I though I might have had to buy 10 new long cars but turns out I have more than 10 on each of the two I already own so only need to buy 2 more to have 3 trains with 10 long car on each

Good Morning. Just wanted to pop in and thank Raul and the whole team for farmtown. I've always enjoyed the game, but being stuck at home has made it a great outlet for stress. Thanks for all you do to keep the game going.

What does the greyed-out “boost” mean? Is that an indication that the boost has been completed & I can then boost another?

Hi Zeeky,
If it is greyed out, the numbers show the same amount such as (13/13) then that means you can not boost that train any more until it comes back and you unload then dispatch again.
