Town Star is a quite complex ecosystem game which hides underneath a very cute and friendly UI.
As I see it for a success competition you need to pass 4 crucial steps:
1. Sell Tier 0/ Tier 1 to earn first capital fast
2. Create a Gasoline production system
3. Sell Tier 1/ Tier 2 to earn main capital
4. Build your final layout
Let's explain the steps.
(Please notice that there's a hard break here between the steps but the end of step 1 goes in parallel with the beginning of step 2 etc.)
1. Sell Tier 0/ Tier 1 to earn first capital fast
When you begin your game you start with small amount of money and with only 40 gasoline,
Meaning, you have a limited period time to get enough money to create a Gasoline production system.
This step needs to be very calculated and you need to be very concentrated in it,
You'll need to make fast changes and avoid mistakes that can leave you out of money.
This step should take about 2-5 hours.
2. Create a Gasoline production system
Creating a Gasoline production system requires few components.
I'll give the easiest and cheapest solution:
Gasoline is your final goal, you'll need a Refinery for it, for the Refinery you'll need a Paved Road.
To create the Gasoline you'll need Water Drums, Energy and Petroleum.
To acquire Water Drums you'll need a Water Facility, and to create the Water Drums you'll need water, therefore, a Well.
To acquire Energy you'll need a Wind Turbine.
To acquire Petroleum You'll need another Refinery.
In the second Refinery you'll need Water Drums, Energy and Crude Oil.
To acquire Crude Oil you'll need an Oil Pump.
That's your time to calculate and create a working system so you'll be able to run the town without danger.
P.S: There are some tricks and hacks that can be done to make it more efficient and less space consuming, we'll talk about them in another post.
This step should take about 1-2 hours.
3. Sell Tier 1/ Tier 2 to earn main capital
When you have a running Gasoline production system you can take a few hours and build a profitable layout,
Not something too shabby because you still won't have lots of money but something that can generate sweet profits.
That's your time to let your guards down and wait, If you're working with an Auto-Selling script that's the time to run it and go to sleep.
This step should take about 12 hours.
4. Build your final layout
Good morning, you should have now enough money to create your Layout, that's the fun part.
I hope you've built a strategy and that you know what's your goal,
Some will go with Ships to sell lower points products fast and some will ship Tier 4 products with truck, that's your call,
Bring your A game here and use all the layout pieces wisely.
This step should take about 5-7 hours.
When your Layout is ready and you're pleased with the final outcome it's time to wait and see where you reach, if you see any issues that slowing your production try to make the right modifications.
All that's left is wait and hope you made it to the top :)
