I like the 2 FarmCash and 2 coins on the contest, but the Standard Freight Engine that requires you to by long Freight Cars with Farm Cash and not coins puts us at a disadvantage, which is not fair, in my opinion. the Standard Freight Engine is sold in the Trains Section of the Store, and not in the Facilities section. Hope it just a bug

How can this be fair when everything we've been told so far is that "to make more points, work/reload your facilities as often as possible"?

Hi All,
How about we wait and see what the developers say. I have sent an email to them to find out how this is supposed to work with the standard freight engine. I would not suggest buying anything until we can find out.
