Monorail: Rail Yard New Prizes

1. I cannot find my second "monorail" tunnel. I categorically do not have it.

2. If I don't get the last prize on the current track, is it gone forever? Because that is a serious turd move for those of us that were held back over 24 hours because EA didn't fix the non-working dump problem.

No one else has it either. It's a week 5 prize. So keep playing each week and you'll get the second tunnel. Each "week" starts on Tuesday. So next Tuesday will be week 2 prize.

I'm thinking not. It would be a pretty lousy to force players to only get 1 tunnel. I think your progress will "reset", and you will have to repeat week 1 next week. The prizes are super easy to get. If you were getting 5 donuts before, the original amount was triple what we need now. Each trade of the "large" component is between 900-3000 blue prints, so just a few of these trades and you can get 1 prize a day, if not more. If you log in a few times a day, this is easily attainable. Logging in every 1, 2, 3 hours will get you the prizes much quicker. Just keep the trash full, keep sending all available characters for metal, plastic and glass. Super easy. SH can usually be done mostly while doing monorail. Just have to watch Homer, Flanders, Lovejoy , CBG, Lisa, Burns , Cletus, Marge , Bart, Moe , Skinner, Martin , Krusty and I think one other for awards (I don't recall off hand, had max awards for quite a while).

Thanks.

That doesn't match what I have for the first week prizes. I have:

1. Plastic Depot
2. Glass Depot
3. Monorail Station
4. 5 Track Pieces
5. 5 Track Pieces
6. 5 Track Pieces
7. 4 Station Pieces - 30,000 blueprints
8. 10 Track Pieces
9. 10 Track Pieces
10. 4 Station Pieces
11. Rail Yard (showing Sebastian Cobb with the building)

Oh yeah... I had the Dump and the Metal Depot from last time.

What happens after week 5? Can we continue to make pieces or is that it?

Yes we can get more track pieces every week and the new reduced targets make this super easy.

Wow, a permanent reduction in blueprints from 70,000 to 25,000. That means many players can finish on Wednesday (or Thursday in the case of Wadebear - 24 hours to remember that the railyard tasks are available, and 24 hours to complete them (insert cheeky emoticon here))

I have not yet received the first monorail tunnel. How do I get that one? I see we have to wait till week 5 for the second but when exactly do we get the first? I see a lot of people already have it. Please help.

Did you play the entire event the first time aroud? My guess is you haven't and have to unlock all the original rail yard prizes. A quick way to tell is if you have the nice railyard fa?ade. If you only have the dilapidated one, you haven't finished.

Once you get to that point, the following Tuesday "week 1" will start and you will get a chance to unlock the tunnels. Remember this is now a permanent addition so there's no rush or reason to stress.
