Rail Yard: Requisitions?

Same situation. What a disappointment when you collect those cans, glass & plastic bottles over and over until you reach the required prize amount only to find curves, the occasional 1/2 strait and hopefully the rare straight. Hell I'd pay donuts for straights at this point to complete my loop !

I've mentioned this previously but the easiest solution to this is a track exchange tab added to the rail yard UI. Where you pick a track you have and the track you want to exchange it for.

I keep generating tracks and leaving them in inventory and I'm not really paying attention to what I have.

But apparently I currently have in inventory...

14 straight track pieces
8 curved track pieces
15 S-curve pieces
24 short track pieces

Gee, thanks for all the short tracks.

Someone should explain to EA that tracks are not made of glass and plastic. We should only require metal and trash to make rails. It'd be a lot faster.

This is all i need!! Enough with the other pieces :roll:

Mmm my railyard, only ask metal and trash... So far not been able to get the extra 5 donuts. On workday i can only play 2 to 3 times a day... On my day off, not always at home. So im always short on metal. For me metals is not a good or fast way. I cannot log in every hour to restock on metal.
Last tuesday i filled my glassdepot to 110 of 70... Today i still have 70 of 70 of my glass :x
And still need to get the last 5 and the 5 + donuts in less than 24 hours :(

Why isn't there a way to place an order for the specific types of track that we need? I can't imagine a manufacturer that just made whatever they wanted, and didn't care what was being ordered.

Then again, this is Springfield.

But it is getting kind of ridiculous, at this point. I'm almost through this week's allotment of pieces, and only received 2 straight track pieces so far out of a potential 20. And have no idea what I'm going to do with the 54 curved ones in inventory.

You only get 15 tracks a week, and if we all got what we wanted we'd all have big o'l circles and ovals in our towns, instead of being creative with what we get.

I just stored all my monorail stuff for now

If I were EA:

Premium Character: Lyle Lanley
24 hour task - Make Lyle convert track piece

I don't mind how the system is set up. It just means I get to play it more.

Although an exchange system or letting you choose what you want would be nice. Especially considering how many character I need to use to get the stuff.

The one gripe I have is the ridiculous amount of resources needed to get stuff. And for some reason it's always metal. Not glass or plastic. Oh well. It is what it is.
