I have an idea...put the glitch back in place...they've already spent the FarmCash, you've made your profits from it and they're getting their extra products. Win Win

Due to the glitch they have lost money not made profit from it. The calculations are for those that purchase the trains for working facilities only and would only purchase the 1 coin and 4 FC engines plus two boxcars to make up the 10 boxcars (2 cars X 5 engines) would cost 240 FC instead of purchasing all 10 boxcars for a single coin engine, the FC engine would cost more, but with the coin engine it would cost 350 FC (35 FC X 10 cars), which is a difference of 110 FC that the dev's isn't getting, that doesn't sound like a lot, but if you have just 1,000 people (that is only apx 1% of the people that play Farm Town, so the amount of people that used that glitch could be higher) that makes the FC 110,000 which if purchasing 250 FC at $39.99 (you can purchase 440 bundles) that makes apx $17,596.00 (440 X $39.99). So do you think the company you work for would like to lose $17,596.00? This amount could be higher or lower depending on how many people used this glitch.

Interesting, I appreciate the math, thank you! For what it is worth everyone I get train boosts from who have added multiple engines have at least 10 cars... just added the faster engines as they came out. This is the first I heard of using 2 cars with 5 engines to get 100% work from mayor, but I guess it depends on how early people started their trains. Most I talked to would not be willing to buy extra cars to set up 5 trains. I got the Standard and 10 cars. I added the Ultimate and Turbo when the glitch was left open so long, thinking it was like some other glitches that are not encouraged but not prohibited either... so Turbo is running and other two are on the siding.

One slight correction it is 2 cars with 5 engines, not 10 engines to make the 10 boxcars, they would put the 2 cars on the farm and then connect all 5 engines to those 2 boxcars. Like you I have one engine with 10 cars, I wasn't going to spend the FC since I figured that once they either know about the glitch or can fix it they will since it is costing them money to keep it open

You said you had 10 cars and 2 FC engines, what I would do is put 9 cars on the turbo (use this train for the boost) and put 1 car on the ultimate (just to make it a useful engine). Now if you have enough neighbors that you can send boosts out for both trains, maybe put 5 cars each on both trains, this way both of your FC engines are being used.

Thank you, I corrected my first post. I was just typing too fast for my brain to keep up I guess! I meant 5. I had someone mention that they were going to split the cars between two engines, but doing the math, in 6 days my Turbo will come in 3 times, but Ultimate only 2 times...so I would lose one delivery every six days for cars attached to the Ultimate. I am using my products so will leave all attached to Turbo and will add short cars for decoration on my Standard and Ultimate engines. I may put an engine on either end as the trains that go by here often have several engines on one train!
