IF you have iCloud backup checked and working, then removing and reinstalling the game should work fine. (If you have a second iOS device you could possibly test by signing into GC and installing the game there?) If not, see if you have a full backup of your phone in iTunes which you could restore from. The iCloud sync functionality is designed to prevent problems from exactly this - I hope it works for you!
Hey guys Today I found out that Pocket Trains is aviable on Android already...totally forgot about it after I quit playing PP (it just got too boring with having everything...) and really love it so far (lvl 4) It lacks the "Mobage" integration PP has so there is no trading etc. but starts up way faster and IAPs are quite cheap....but I hope we'll be able to trade in the future (maybe even with IOS players). Just a quick question I couldn't find (and don't want to read all the previous pages) - is there a "job refresh" every X minutes like there is in PP ? I played quite quick so far, so maybe I missed that if it's like every 10 Minutes or so, but I got one train sitting around with only 1 job atm and there don't seem to be new ones coming ...on the other hand I had a high-bux job vanishing when I switched to another train (in the same station) to get it on the right track, so maybe there was a job update? or it was just a bug? In PP there is a Timer at the Airports to show when a update is due, can't see that on PT...
Thank you very much for the info/help Itbaxter! Very much appreciated/ I also found this from NimbleBit on their website: http://support.nimblebit.com/customer/portal/articles/1315509-known-issues I wonder if this could be my problem and I should wait for the update before I do anything? Cheers and Thanks again!
You're not going crazy. There are a few differences between PP & PT. No job refreshes. Pick up what you can and move to the next station. Trains at the same station will not share the same job list. 2 trains at the same station will see a different list of jobs. Only layover jobs are shared by trains at the same station. They've implemented a new gifting system, a 4 character gifting ID. I haven't looked for mine but it can't be too hard to find if you poke around the settings? I guess this makes gifting across IOS and Android peeps a whole lot easier. You'll see people posting their gifting ID. There's also a PT parts trading thread around here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=205055 Gastaballa has put together a spreadsheet of train stats here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Apz7Ma1OWUEWdGNZRWRWX2J6c2dIY2lNU09uLTVPcEE&rm=full#gid=5
Yeah, I did something similar. I opened up Lisbon-New York as soon as possible, and then added San Francisco-New York, and after that opened up a "collector" line looping around San Francisco/Vancouver/Calgary/Denver/Phoenix/Los Angeles. I would use this to pick up high-value jobs (4 coins & bux) and feed them back to NY. I started this arrangement with Express trains, but as soon as I got my first Standard engine, I swapped that in for the Lisbon-New York line. Even without upgrades, it's similar range and identical capacity as a fully-upgraded Express. But then you can add engines and fuel cars when you've collected enough parts to do that. But you might as well start operations as soon as possible.
Android and cross platform trading is fully supported just use the code on the settings screen within the game.
You can do this already. Nimblebit now use a "gift code" (found at the bottom of the options page) that works between iOS and Android. That solves the problem of having Mobage IDs (Android only) or Game Center IDs (iOS only) for gifting. My main game is on my iPod but I have another on my Android phone, and I've been sending parts back and forth to myself.
Ah ok, that explains a few things, thanks Thanks guys for clearing that up, I already found the reason I thought this doesn't work...the Firewall on my phone blocks new apps from accessing the internet by default, I always forget about that Now I should get an ID soon I guess
Emerald Steamer Bluebell Steamer Vanilla Steamer Carbon Steamer Dragonbreath Mallard with no fuel car yet, I've not got enough parts Global Express Metro Express National Express All of them except the Mallard have the full amount of engines and fuel cars.
Has anyone tried a line from san fransisco to chengdu? I noticed you can make collector loops on both sides and it's a fairly direct route. I don't have the trains or money to do this yet but was wondering if anyone's experimented with it?
Wow did you guys see the latest NimbleBit news Tiny Death Star with Disney/LucasArts, coming soon Pretty incredible (News in TA)
I'm level 13 and running 11 trains: 3 x Bluebell Steamer 1 x Vanilla Steamer 1 x Emerald Steamer 1 x Carbon Steamer 1 x National Express (2 engines) 1 x Metro Express (2 engines) 1 x Global Express (1 engine) 1 x Gila Standard (1 engine, no fuel) 1 x Rio Grande Standard (1 engine, no fuel) All with fuel except Standards. Now my question. Do you rename your trains? I name mine based on location and colour of the train line. Eg. Euro Red, Eurasia Yellow, Asia Blue etc And in semi related NimbleBit squee-age...Tiny Death Star!!!!!! (Edit: Beat me to it Vic!)
I have something similar. On the west side, I have a loop from San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. I also have the side spur to Edmonton, and that's great for getting "job refreshes" by shuttling back and forth to Calgary. I feed this into a line from San Francisco to New York. It's handy that there are two intersection points (Denver and San Francisco) because if I get a high-value job on my loop line in one of those cities, I can drop it off as a layover in the other one. On the east side, my long run was from Vologograd to Beijing, so it's feeder line is a Zephyr running between Shenyang, Seoul and Vladivostok. I have also opened a third run like this, from Forteleza to Casablanca, fed by another Zephyr shuttling between Belem and Salvador, collecting high-value layovers for Forteleza. This strategy works for me, lots of big jobs. My highest value job so far is 1172 coins per car (5860 for a five-car load) from LA or Phoenix to Vladivostok, I think.
Do you have New York connecting to Lisbon, and then Lisbon to chengdu, or are your NA line and Asia line separate operations?
I have some lines named after real-life railroads (Deutsche Bahn, Sibirjak, British Rail, Bosphorus Express, etc.) but the rest are named after their regional location or purpose (e.g. "Trans-Atlantic", "Brazil"). I don't bother putting the color in the name.
I don't go to Chengdu. Lisbon feeds into a big hub in Munich, and another line runs to Volgograd, and then via Urumqi to Beijing. I'm about ready to start my 15th railroad (just completed a Pecos Standard) so I think I'll use that on a second Asian route. I'm only hesitant because I don't want any daily events in awkward places, which I might get by opening up too much with out lots of feeder support. And yes, New York to Lisbon is a dedicated line (now served by a two-engine Standard, cap. 18).
I also rename my trains and call them "EU Northwest", "ASIA Southeast" and color them in the same color within a license's area, e.g. all my EU lines are blue, ASIA lines yellow and so on. It really helps when you are swiping through the trains without using the list. And yes, kudos to the Tiny Death Star news!!!
Well, I think Pocket Trains will keep me busy enough until Tiny Death Star. I can't wait for it, it sounds awesome.
