The town is a game feature which gives players a new area to play in and the opportunity to gain coins, experience points, and reputation points by filling town visitors' orders.
It can be unlocked at experience level 34 by repairing the train station located on the farm.
From reputation level 3 and up, it lets players interact with the sanctuary.
Going to the town
Repairing the farm's train station costs 39,000 coins, takes three days (or 97 diamonds) and awards 39 experience points. After taking the handcar to go to the town players must repair the town's train station and the Town Hall. It is free to repair these.
Town buildings
There are several buildings in the town (see the map below):
- the Eggspress train which brings visitors to the town
- the train station to allow more visitors in the town
- the Town Hall to keep track of visitors
- service buildings to fill visitors' orders
- the personal train to pick up visitors from your neighborhood
- the book stand and the sanctuary on the far right (not shown on the map)
- animal shelters for sanctuary animals
- the handcar to go back to the farm

Tutorial
Strategy tips
- There is much more room in the town than on the farm and Fishing Lake so expanding the land there is not as critical.
- Town is the BEST way to level up and get supplies in the game by keep serving the visitors and playing regularly.
- Start working on your town as soon as possible. Upgrade your town hall, train station and all the buildings so that you can get extra coins, xp, reputation and supplies. If you are active, upgrading the Slots and Time tab is recommended first to multiply your rewards.
- Different service buildings require different goods. The information can be found by searching the service building names in this wiki, so that you can produce more of them.
- You can find a floating chest in the beach occasionally which you can give you different rewards.
- Upgrading the Personal Train requires a lot of refined coal and bars, however, upgrading the time tab is recommended first so that you can pick up townies from your neighborhood friends every 1 hour and 30 min.
- The amount of tools keep increasing with each upgrade you make on the buildings.
- It is really hard to Level Up the reputation in the town. Continuous and Non-Stop playing is preferred to increase your reputation level and upgrade the buildings.
- Reputation level 38 is the last level on which you can finally max your all buildings 100%.
