Contact Train Station Support

I *really* wanted to like this game. But the UI just isn’t up to snuff. Two cases in point:

1) I buy train cars (note to devs: they’re not called wagons in the US), and I don’t get the option of connecting them to the locomotive in the depot. There is evidently some kind of this-car-only-goes-on-this-kind-of-locomotive thing going on, but it is not explained in the game. A simple option would be to include all cars in the depot, and if I select one I can’t use, EXPLAIN WHY.

2) I’ve sent the basic wood-and-nails shipment to the first international destination — about 15 times, and I’ve only received credit for two of those. On those two, I apparently did all the right steps, in order, but it was by accident, not by my saying “oh, I see...the game is telling me I have to do X next”, because the game doesn’t do that.

Devs: if you now respond “this is how you do that”, or “go read the forums”, then you have FAILED as developers. I shouldn’t have to guess at how to accomplish something as fundamental as doing a contract. THE GAME SHOULD EXPLAIN IT. Unless you want this to be a puzzle game...

The train graphics are nice.

Maybe I’ll check back in a year or two and see if game play is any easier to understand.

I’m old enough that I could easily (and *gladly*) spend hundreds of dollars playing a game like this. (I’ve spent more on these “free” games than I care to admit.) But I’m not going to spend money on a game that doesn’t explain itself.

The Facebook login from the game is broken. I can’t log in and my stations are gone!! I’ve been playing this game for years and it’s all gone! Help! Edit: I’m able to log in, and all my progress is saved! I’ve been playing this game for years and it’s one of the few games I’ve played that long. I love the “no pressure” feel of the game. I can play at my own pace and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made! Edit: Once again, I’ve lost years of progress. At this point I might as well start over and save using a more reliable method. At least I haven’t lost a ton of money.

I’ve been playing this for years. I only now have recently returned to it after years of barely being on Facebook. I still face the same issues as when I played it last time. It is seriously time consuming. The profits and how long it takes to get them are not well balanced in my opinion. I know if you’re a beginner you will face those issues but at level 100 you shouldn’t be facing that obstacle. Heck I can tell you when you have requirements of over more than million of a product and you can’t even get a decent amount of that it becomes frustrating. I’d recommend make it decently easier for players to level up faster and make it to where if they are over a rank 100 they can get far better cargo, xp, and passenger cars with a lot better payouts per 20 minute and one week shipments. If someone is waiting a week it should be worth at least half a million of whatever product there trying to get. Our time is precious and is what helps the game thrive. So please ease the burden on those who have jobs. Less burden more old players come back.
