New Release -- June 1st, 2012

[kataltay]

Major questions about this freight train, which I hope a *moderator* will read and perhaps offer answers.

1. The train does the same thing as the semi does. It transports goods. Since we can move the semi from one place on the farm to any other, while goods are in transit, why can we not move the train also? What's with this locking it into place on *our* farms for a full 7 days?!?!

2. All facilities, services, and the semi are "actively working" as long as they have goods in production or in transit. None of these appear as ghost images on our farms. We merely have to "check facility details" to learn how production is going. Why does the train have to fade out of visibility just because it is working? We get that it is "travelling" and so therefore "shouldn't" be seen when it may be on another farm doing its thing. But, the semi technically is "travelling" too, and yet we see it clearly.

It is disappointing enough that the products gathered from the train are not really "high demand" products. But to lock the tool into place so it cannot be moved, and furthermore have it appear semi-transparent (totally taking away from the realistic look of some avid decorators' farms where appearance does indeed matter), only add to the disappointment in this new, but far from original, feature. There was so much hype over this commerce train for several months, I am betting most farmers expected far more than we got today. 105 FC spent on items I cannot move for 7 days (I wish I had read THAT detail before randomly placing it), only to get goods I never had trouble getting anyway. Thumbs down, developers. Thumbs down.
