Tips Township for Obtaining Construction Materials

In Township obtaining construction materials is the one thing that is really going to slow down your progress. It is also how Playrix hope to profit from the game, as they give you the option of accessing more materials by buying the in-game currency. Read on for a few options of how you can get materials.

Buying In-game Currency

The quickest way to get construction materials is to buy them with in-game "cash" but you need to buy it with real money if you want any more than the occasional purchase. We're gonna assume you don't want to do this.

Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors!

Like so many other Facebook games, Township is a whole lot easier if you have some friends playing too. If you are willing to add strangers to your Facebook friends list then you can go to the Township app page and under "Reviews" you'll find lots of people asking to be added as neighbors. Bear in mind that if you are adding strangers to your friends list then give serious thought to what personal information will be available to them; make use of Facebook's privacy settings and be safe!

Once you have neighbors you have several ways to obtain construction materials from them:

- visiting them once a day and collecting from their plant,

- receiving gifts from them,

- clicking on wall posts for "extra" materials,

- requesting materials on your own wall.

At the time of writing, Township doesn't tell you who gifts are from. If you send a friend construction materials by clicking on a request they've posted, consider "liking" the post. This way they know who's helped them, and might be more inclined to send you materials in the future.

Construction Materials from Quests

Almost all quests give at least one construction material as a reward, but many of the quests require many more to complete (for example, quests to building factories or community buildings). However, the repeatable Order From Your Friend quest always gives at least one material, and is usually very straightforward to complete. It's a bit more work than getting materials from your friends, but it is a method that is totally in your control. Plus, you get to keep whatever you produce for the order and get a nice coin and xp reward from the quest. What's not to like?!

And one way you can't get them...

In a lot of Facebook games (FrontierVille comes to mind, but it's not the only one), people will copy links of their help requests and paste then in the "Review" section of the application page. Unfortunately this doesn't help in Township, as if you try to click on such a link it will only work if you are actually friends with the person who created it.
