You CAN make your train go around corners, curves and other obstacles in your farm |
|
|
You can make your train go round corners by using one of the cars that has 6 views, place that car ON the corner, and the long cars attached to either end. You may have to experiment a little in placing the cars so as all the cars are on the tracks, but it can be done. |
| Now, your train is ready for dispatch. | |
 |
To dispatch, first click on the locomotive making sure all cars are highlighted; select "Show Train Details." |
 |
You will get a popup box showing all the Long Freight Cars attached to the locomotive and the "Dispatch Train" button. Click it. You can click on "Train Status" to see how much longer it will take before you can unload. |
|
|
Here, you also have the option to speed up your train by 1 day. Click on "Boost Train." You wil get a popup similar to the sending gifts popup where you can select from "Farm Town Players," "My Neighbors," and "Farmers Helping Me." Each friend who boosts your train, advances it 2 hours, for a maximum of 12 boosts = to 1 full day advancement; in return, they will receive a bonus of 1% to 3% of the products your train is hauling. |
 |
When your train has made the full route, click on "Train Status." You will see that all cars are 100% loaded and how many products each car is carrying. When you click on "Unload Train," all the products are placed in your storage. Now, you are ready to start the cycle over...click "Dispatch Train." |
| The Mayor works 50% of your neighbors' facilities for free. But if you have a dispatched train, he will increase his workload 5% for each Long freight car you dispatched...up to 100% for 10. | |
| If you have TWO trains, each with 10 long cars dispatched, the Mayor will complete all the facilities on every farm you work (clients AND facs) without you having to navigate to any of the farms once you land. If you don't have the 2nd train, the Mayor will still help you with 25 to 40% of the workable farms as long as there are at least 3 farms. | |
