The Marketplace
Spend your Tocium on fuel, train upgrades, and more
Visit the Marketplace for Helpful In-Game Items and Upgrades
Clicking on this button will open the Marketplace window. It should automatically open to the Fuel tab, which looks like the picture below.
Buying Fuel
From this page, you'll be able to exchange Tocium for coal or diesel fuel for your trains. For a detailed explanation on how to purchase fuel, click here.
Keep in mind that as of Train of the Century V1.0, the only Locomotive that uses coal is the Mastodon.
Buying Train Upgrades
Clicking on the "UPGRADES" tab in the top right corner of the window will open a page that looks like this:
You'll notice a stack of buttons on the left side of the screen. Clicking on them will flip through the pages of different upgrades you can buy at the Marketplace. Let's go through them one-by-one.
Rail Car Slots
This is the page of upgrades that is opened by default. You can see it in the image above.
To purchase an additional Rail Car slot for your train, simply click on a grayed-out slot and hit "Accept" in the pop-up window. Ta-da! You've got a brand-new slot on your train that you can fill with any Rail Car or Passenger Car.
Compositions
Clicking on "COMPOSITIONS" will bring you to a page that looks like this:
Here, you can upgrade the composition of any of your Locomotive cards that aren't already at the Tungsten level. This process will burn your Locomotive NFT, but you'll receive an upgraded version in exchange for your Tocium. To preview the upgrade your Locomotive will receive, select it from the stack of cards at the bottom of the window.
If you're satisfied with the upgrade, click the "Upgrade to ___" button in the bottom right of the window.
Locomotive composition upgrades follow this pattern:
Iron > Steel
Steel > Carbon Weave
Carbon Weave > Tungsten
If your Locomotive just isn't performing as well as you'd like it to, consider buying a composition upgrade or two!
Portal Passes
This feature is still in development, but will enable time travel for the Modern Century Conductors.
Unlock Trains
Click Unlock Trains to purchase a second train to manage. Note that you must have at least 4 Rail Car slots unlocked on all the trains you currently own before you can purchase another.
The price model for unlocking additional trains is as follows:
| Additional Train Number | Tocium Price |
|---|---|
1 | 5,000 |
2 | 30,000 |
3 | 60,000 |
4 | 100,000 |
5 | 150,000 |
6 | 210,000 |
7 | 280,000 |
8 | 360,000 |
9 | 450,000 |
10+ | 500,000 |
Buying Century Train Parts
Clicking on the "PARTS" tab at the top of the window will allow you to do business with our friend Oil Zone Otto.
For this page to populate with Century Train Parts (CTPs), you'll have to meet Otto in one of his NPC Encounters. If you can't afford to or choose not to buy the CTP he offers you, it'll show up here, in the Marketplace.
CTPs are rare, powerful artifacts that come from parallel realities. If you collect all 18 of them, you can forge them into a Century Train! Or, you can fuse individual parts to one of your other trains to give them a permanent stat boost. The choice is yours!
For a detailed explanation of Century Trains and their benefits, click here. Or, if you'd like to see the full list of CTPs, click here.
The Railroader Emporium
Do you have spare resources and need extra Tocium? Head on over the the Railroader Emporium! On this page of the Marketplace, you'll be able to sell your fungible assets like AMP and CTPs to other Railroaders. And that means you can also spend Tocium to purchase items from your fellow Railroader.
