Get to Know your Workers
Your Farmer is the first of many workers who you'll need in your town. Each worker has its own fuction, corresponding to various buildings you will construct in your town.
When you decide to build an available tile near a road, the Builder from the Builder House will collect and deliver the materials that the contruction needs.
When you need wood, select a Lumberjack House from the shop, and the Lumberjack will take care of the choppings of trees that are available in your town. When you’re ready to start a ranch in your town, a Rancher will be necessary to take care of the livestock.
Wages
Workers are the ones helping do the job requirred for your town’s success, but you need to hire a worker for a certain price per minute. The more workers in your town, the greater your per-minute wage costs will be. When you run out of money, your workers go home to sleep. But when you sell something that you've stored like wheat for examle, then the workers get out of their homes to continue work in the fields.
As you buy and build your first few buildings, you’ll notice that money needs to be made, and quickly. In Town Star, money is earned by selling goods to cities in batches of 10.
The more difficult to craft, the more money you’ll make from selling a load of goods. As a brand new town, you’ll quickly be able to sell 10 Wheat for $3000. But selling only wheat won’t be enough to get you through to Gasoline production, so you’ll have to develop a strategy early. For more on this, check out the SECURING YOU CASH FLOWguide.
When you’re ready to sell 10 of something, click on the Trade Depot tile (with the truck). Choose a nearby city, specify the type of good and confirm the gasoline cost. When the Trucker returns, you’ll be able to claim your money and your Stars (points)!
Storage and Space
Luckily, this Farmer has space in his Silo!
Always remember that when you produce or craft goods, you’ll need somewhere to store them. Anything produced that doesn’t have room to be stored is wasted on the nearest road. Crops from fields are stored in a Silo, wood is stored in a Woodshed, water and energy are stored in a Warehouse, and goods like eggs, flour and salt are stored in a Storehouse. For more info on storage, check out the STORAGE FIRST, PRODUCTION SECOND guide.
Think about spacing as you start to build your town. This game is all about minimizing travel time for your workers and maximizing efficiency. Pay attention to things like how far your Farmer needs to travel from house to field, and how often he needs to water the crops.
NFTs Make it Easier
Thanks to the blockchain power of Gala Games, many game-boosting Town Star buildings and items are offered as player-owned NFTs. Some provide additional storage (Legendary Wheat Storage), some give production bonuses (Legendary Wheat Stand), and others do certain jobs faster than the standard units (Mr. Puddles). You can always give yourself an edge in Town Star by picking up a few NFTs in the store!
