Yup. And you can only speed it up a maximum of one day no matter how much you try to boost it, so between that and the fact that you need FC cars attached to it for it to be of any value (presumably the more FC cars the better value it would be), it's really quite inappropriate for the contest.

Another good point! Even if we could send it out immediately, it can't be re-dispatched for at least 6 days so we get to send it once and that's it?

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"?

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

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.

LOL I see others are wondering.I sure don't plan on getting the standard one and having to put boxcars behind it. Will wait and see what the devs say.

Thanks Taz! It's been changed to a different facility now...the Sandwich Restaurant instead of the Standard Train Engine

Hi all

From Raul's notes for the New Release


Post-Release Updates - April 28th, 2:15AM


- The next Neighborhood Chains Contest incorrectly selected a locomotive as one of the facilities, this was a bug and should not be happening anymore.

The locomotive was replaced by the Sandwich Restaurant.

To fix the problem for the users that already got the locomotive, reload the game and re-open the Neighborhood Chains Contest screen, then click on the Sandwich Restaurant 'Work' button. You may have to repeat these steps a couple of times, please report here if it doesn't get fixed.

Thank you. I did need to restart the game twice, the first time it said I didn't have a Sandwich Restaurant but the second time it was fine. Glad you mentioned that.

Raul has posted an update:

Post-Release Updates - April 28th, 2:00PM

- BugFix: When fishing, if the water items had parts outside the farm and you clicked on those parts, the game was getting slower and slower as you continue fishing, possible crashing at some point.

- BugFix: When fishing, if the water items had parts outside the farm and you clicked on those parts with the Turbo Boat nothing happened. From now on, if you are fishing with the Turbo Boat you will be able to fish the whole water item even if you click on a part that is outside your farm.

- BugFix: The Farm Selector Manager was not showing all the farms for some users.

Neighborhood Chains Contest Improvements:

- You can now Sort by Score, Facility Count and Name
- You can now send offline messages to your neighbours from the 'My Neighborhood Chains' tab
- More detailed help from the Mayor including examples, when you click the 'Add More Facilities?' button.
- There are '?' signs on the top of the left column providing additional help about the content of the current screen
- There is a 'Missing Facilities?' button that will tell you if some of your Coins facilities are not participating in the contest.
