ENGINEERING UPDATE

ENGINEERING UPDATE with release date of Mar 3/16

Blog page created Feb 22/16

There are 17 goals with this update!

THERE ARE TIMED COMPONENTS (INDIVIDUAL GOALS) IN THIS UPDATE. Please review all goal screenshots below on this page for more information

TIPS:

• Ensure you update wishlist with newest free gift item (Whistle) as soon as you can. You may want to make that the only item on your wishlist as we will be requiring lots of these (see build stages & recipes).

• Plant plenty of corn, grapes & catch lots of fish & big fish for exchanges in Tom's Hut
• Review all goal screenshots! See which goals ACTIVATE a timer on the next goal when completed. You may want to hold off completing one goal if it activates another goal if you are not prepared.

• Continental Locomotive.... This sounds very familiar, a lot like the use of the CLIPPER which is required to travel to a different territory. The message associated message with LOCOMOTIVE is "....Great! The locomotive is ready! ... Soon we'll be able to visit far lands!" To build the continental locomotive, you will need to craft 1 of each item in the Town Station: Driver Wheel, Steam Generator, Machinist's Cab 

• Ensure you are familiar with Tom's Hut (River Territory) & get ready to do exchanges over there for mauls, wooden piles, rivets & other items). See link for Tom's Hut further below on this page.
• Players will need huntsmen in order to craft recipes from both Carriage-Building Shop & Town Station. Recipes in Town Station require 3 (three huntsmen) & recipes take 2 hours to craft. If you have a BILLY & WILLY tent, a good idea would be to move them over to Town & use them in conjunction with another huntsmen tent or 2!!

• DO NOT FORGET ABOUT YOUR COLLECTIONS! Players can turn collections in for needed recipe items! This update, ideally you can use:

• Inventor's Collection for GEARS

• Railway Collection for WOODEN PILES

• Fisherman's Collection for BAIT & HOOKS which are needed to catch Fish & Big Fish for Tom's Hut exchanges.

BUILD INFORMATION at a glance - see photos below for more detail, recipes & screenshots. 

Earlier in this blog, I had a quick text draft of items needed, there were errors to the types & amounts of some of those items. So, to those of you who copied the text portions & shared it around instead of sharing my blog link, some of you are potentially crafting un-needed items (using the active blog link will always ensure you have current info).

Get your choo-choo on as you build 4 new structures: a Town Bridge, Town Station, Rail Car Plant * Continental Locomotive (sorry we do not have build stage info for locomotive!).
