i am sorry if i offended you. i also like to joke around that all i was doing but again i guess i offend people. oh well it is just a game and just a forum.

And....... what is this Boost thing some people have mentioned??? I can't find anything pertaining to this.

To unlock if you have the requirements, just reload your farm and it should be unlocked.

the boost thing shows up when you look to see how your items are progressing , i am thinking it is like when you post your facilities on your wall to ask your friends to help you with speeding up production...

I have one farm (12) that has every facility on it.
I laid the track and place a loco, but still wagons say locked.
What am I missing?



OK sussed it.
You need to also buy a building called 'Train Depot', something I don't see mentioned anywhere.

Sorry, I should have said to reload the program instead of just the farm, have you tried to reload the program?

What would my Stone Windmill boxcar do then?

The box car doesn't need your wheat to get the product, so if no wheat you still can get flour. That same car also brings corn flower and ground coffee.
You don't have to keep your Stone windmill in storage. It only has to be in storage or you have to be on the farm with it to buy the car. Once you have bought the car then you can move the facility back to the farm if you put it in storage to buy the car.
The boxcar is totally independent of the facility after you purchase and it does not have to stay on the farm wioth the facility either. That is only for the actual purchase.
