Chapter 29 Freight Trains

[Rob T]

Dispatched Trains with Long Cars attached to them
can help you with your friends facility work.

How much of that work depends on how many trains you have with how many Long Cars attached to them and if they are also dispatched.

Trains and their Long Cars need to be on a farm, not in storage.
AND they must be dispatched to be able to help with working farming friends facilities faster.

If you unload them and forget to dispatch them again, your ability to be able to work friends facilities faster will be reduced again.

The Long Cars cost Farm Cash and those along with a locomotive are the only ones that count towards how much facility work will be completed.
Only the Standard Locomotives cost coins, the rest of the working locomotives cost Farm Cash.

Important: The coin train cars which are shorter in length to the Farm Cash Long Cars DO NOT count towards helping with your friends facility work.

You may also see on the forum that the developers, support team or moderators refer to a
"Fully Diversified Train".

A Locomotive with 10 or more different Long Cars attached to it counts as a Fully Diversified Train. Remember that the trains also need to be dispatched.

Without any trains:

The Mayor will work 50% of your friends facilities for free, but you have to go to every farm and work every facility individually until the mayor takes over and does his 50%.

One train with at least one Long Car attached and it's dispatched:

For each Long Car you have on that dispatched train, the mayor will work another 5% of the facilities for you. Note: the Long Cars must be different ones. You can not have two of the same Long Car on the same train.

One train with 10 or more different Long Cars attached and dispatched:

The mayor will complete all the work on the farm you arrive on and you only have to go to each farm that has facilities on it and the mayor will work all the facilities of that type on each farm you go to. You still have to click on the Click Here to Help link on every facility work request in the Facility Wall Requests page.

2 trains with 10 or more different Long Cars attached and dispatched:

The Mayor will complete all facilities on all farms for you without you needing to navigate to each farm. You still have to click on the Click Here to Help link on every facility work request in the Facility Wall Requests page.

4 trains with 10 or more different Long Cars attached and dispatched:
Will ALSO speed up the way to work both types of facilities (regular and service facilities) in Facility Wall Requests page!!!

Instead of needing to click on the Click Here to Help for every request on the Facility Wall Request page....

If a farmer has posted both types (regular and also services) there is a Do both at once, work factories and refer clients link you can click on instead.

You will see the link between that farmers requests when they have posted both types.

If they have not posted both types you still need to click on the Click Here to Help link on the single work work request that has been posted.

Example of the links on Facility Wall Requests page:

This farmer has 4 Fully Diversified Trains that are dispatched.

For Kate and Dom they can just click on the Do both at once link.
For Jess and Amy who only posted one type of facilities, they click on the Click here to help link:

NOTE: If you do not have 4 Fully Diversified Trains that are dispatched at the top of Facility Wall Requests page you will only see ONE Do both at once, work factories and refer clients link. If you click on it and you either do not own enough trains or may have forgotten to dispatch them you will see this message:
