6	25	3	70

Chits

• Chits are paid to contributors once every 24 hours when crates are collected.
• Items placed in crates are worth 2.5x their original value. This can be increased by using town boosts bought in the shop (worth 1% of 5% per boost).
• The 'top contributors' board shows the top three by value of chits rather than number of items.

County championship

• The total value of all items crated each week is ranked against other towns in the county.
• The top town will earn a special prize (usually a town decoration).
• The prize can be obtained by tapping the shiny, golden box that is displayed hanging from a hook on the warehouse.Any town member can open the golden box and place the prize.
• When the golden box is opened, a message saying who claimed it and what it was, will be displayed in the town chat.

• The top explorer in the town represents the town in the weekly county competition and can win gold for the town if they are the furthest travelled in the county

Stagecoach

The stagecoach allows players to move towns at a cost of 5 favours, or create (and move to) a new town for 30 favours.

Moving town

• You can find a town through looking at the randomly generated list or searching for a name.
• You can see details of other towns (click on the eye) but not your own.
• Information provided includes: founder; gold; town regulators; residents and their house levels.
• Your house and everything inside will remain as it is. There is a bug however where you risk losing everything in your house if you do this. Contact support immediately if it happens to you.
• You will still get your chits from crates that you have already handed in after you move
• If there is no vacancy in town for your profession, then your profession will change (and you'll get the relevant new machine in your house). You'll receive an alert about this before moving. (This is the only way currently to change profession).

Creating a new town

• The new town will have zero gold and no unlocked town buildings.
• Town decorations from your old town do NOT transfer
• The max town size is 20. There will be 10 spots for random new players, and 10 spots for players to transfer via stagecoach.
• If you don't advertise your town or get your friends to join, the size will be stuck at 10. If your friend stagecoach straight after you create the town, they should be counted within the 10 random players.

When you move towns, including to one you create, there may be visual glitches showing your town decorations, an incorrect house, and the wrong number of camps you've travelled to. Force-exiting your game and restarting should fix these problems.

Name of Building Price Build-Time Description Community Logging 20 Gold 12 Hours 6 Great Big Mahogany Trees available for town members to cut down together. Number of cuts will be recorded, but not updated live - you may need to re-enter town or even reload the game. Each tree will drop 70 pine sticks and 90 pine logs. (Fixed amount for now because the Decorated Tree is broken) The name of the player who dealt the final cut to cut down the tree is displayed on the board in front of the tree. Each tree regrows in 2 days from the moment it was cut down. Special Note: A fellow townie of mine was somehow able to get a tree to drop up to 140 pine sticks before - but we can't reproduce it. It could possibly be a rare bug or something else, but we can't know for sure until we're able to reproduce it reliably. Update: It's possible to get the tree to drop 180 pine logs as well. It's most likely a bug. No means of replication have been found yet. Special Note #2: Note that the Double Drop Rate from using upgraded axes do not apply. Known Issues: Decorated Tree is supposed to increase the drop rate but, as of v.1.2, it is currently NOT WORKING. A second section with Birch Trees is unavailable to players and is listed as a future feature. A possible third section can be seen in the background. It presumably holds Mesquite Trees. Muddy's Saloon (Town Chat) 30 Gold 12 Hours 1) CHATTING Chat and message other town members. Messages are sent and received with little delay. The chat box holds up to 1 page of chat history, old messages will be replaced by new ones. There is no way currently to view old chat history. Known Issues: The time stamp is not accurately reflected in the chat. It is permanently at "0 minutes ago". Semi-Fixed in v.1.2. Doesn't seem to reflect timings properly to yourself. Certain words are filtered and replaced by astericks, which include some common in-game terms. Use spaces between the letters to circumvent this. 2) ACTIVITY LOG Activity logs of players and the town are also recorded here. These include: -- cutting down a tree -- making planks -- upgrading your house -- leaving / joining town -- daily warehouse report -- weekly town assessment report Known Issues: The notifications may be displayed in languages set by other players. Lumberyard 40 Gold 12 Hours Allows players to use logs to make planks for upgrading their town houses. Logs Accepted: Any Type of Logs (Pine Logs, Birch Logs, Mesquite Logs) Base Rate: 10 Logs = 1 Plank, 3 seconds between each plank Top 3 contributors are displayed on the board. It is not updated live - you may need to re-enter town / refresh the game. Anyone can use the planks available in the lumberyard for their house upgrade. There is currently no way to store planks per player for later use. Known Issues: When multiple players are making planks together, it can go past the limit. (May be fixed in future updates) Simply continuing to add logs into the machine (even when the timer doesn't appear anymore) can bug it to go past its limit. It can go up to hundreds (and over a thousand). Upper limit hasn't been found (if it even has one). General Store (Town Shop) 50 Gold 12 Hours Buy unique items to decorate your town and gain bonuses. The shop can contain three items at a time. Anyone can use town gold to purchase a town decoration. A notification will be sent to the chat box once a decoration is bought by a town member. Town decorations can be placed on the road or along the road. Special Note: Some decorations are not working at the moment, and only certain decorations are stackable. Check town decoration list for more information. Special Note #2: Rapidly tapping a town decoration a few times and then quickly moving it to overlap other town decorations may cause them to glitch and remain overlapped. This is identical to the house furniture overlapping glitch. (See the Tips section for more details.) Known Issues: Town gold is not updated imediately after purchasing a town decoration. It has to be triggered by other events, such as another purchase, buying/spending town gold, warehouse gold reward Town Hall 50 Gold / The Mayor is selected every week. They are the player with the highest value property in the town. The Mayor can kick people out of the town by buying their property. "Elected" appears to be the highest rank in town. When a Mayor is chosen, a gold header reading "Mayor" appears above their house and stays until a different Mayor is chosen. Changing Appearance Coming Soon / Style and change your appearance Unreleased game content Pet Store 150 Gold 12 Hours Buy a dog companion for 75 favours. Each player can only own one dog and you cannot switch dogs once you've bought one. Choose from 3 crossbreed dogs (2 of your own gender, 1 of the opposite gender, color varies for players). Once you bought a dog, there will be a "dog" tab in the furniture catalogue. You can train your dog to perform 3 tasks: guard, fetch and find. GUARD: The dog will stand in front of the porch to guard your house. (There's no real functionality to this.) FETCH: The dog will pick up items you missed on the trail. You have to pick the item up from its mouth for it to continue fetching items for you. FIND: The dog will find items for you when you are offline.
