Playing Township seriously taught me one important lesson: big events are not won during the event — they are won before the event starts.
In this detailed guide, I explain exactly how I prepare my town for every major Township event, using real experience, simple language, and step-by-step planning. Everything written here comes from years of gameplay, not theory.
This article is designed to help:
- New players who feel confused by events
- Regular players who want better rewards
- Advanced players aiming for top rankings
What Are Big Events in Township Game?
Big events in Township are time-limited challenges where players earn points by completing specific actions. These events appear automatically in the game and usually offer coins, boosters, decorations, and T-cash.
Common Township Events
- Transport Magnate
- Great Freight
- Mine Time
- Professor’s Experiments
- Regatta (weekly & seasonal)
- Seasonal merge and expedition events
Each event focuses on different activities, which is why preparing the right way is so important.
Why Preparing for Township Events Is Important
When I didn’t prepare properly, I struggled with:
- Full barn storage
- Missing crops
- Running out of tools
- Wasting boosters
After I started preparing in advance, my results improved dramatically.
Benefits of Proper Preparation
✔ Faster event completion
✔ Less stress during play
✔ Better rewards
✔ More efficient town growth
✔ Reduced need for spending T-cash
My Step-by-Step Township Event Preparation System
Here is my personal preparation system, expanded with detailed explanations, examples, and tips.
Step 1: Track Upcoming Events Early
Knowing the next event in advance gives me a huge strategic advantage.
Why this matters:
Events reward specific tasks. Preparing without knowing what’s coming leads to wasted resources. For example, producing long-time factory goods is useless if the next event requires mining tools.
How I track events:
- In-game event panel
- News section
- Official Township website: https://playrix.com/township
Example from my gameplay:
Before Mine Time, I save all my drills, dynamite, and TNT blocks for the event. This ensures I don’t accidentally use them for casual mining, maximizing my points during the actual event.
Pro Tip:
Create a personal event calendar. I note the start/end dates and the type of each upcoming event. This helps me allocate resources efficiently.
Step 2: Carefully Read Event Rules
I always read the rules line by line before starting an event.
Why it matters:
Many players fail because they don’t understand scoring. Some actions might not contribute points, and performing them wastes time.
How I approach rules:
- Identify which tasks give points
- Note tasks that don’t contribute
- Check if speed or quantity matters more
Example:
In Transport Magnate, sending extra planes outside event tasks does not count. Knowing this, I focus solely on event-related deliveries, saving materials and time.
Pro Tip:
Take screenshots of scoring charts if the event panel disappears. This ensures I always know my progress without repeatedly opening the rules.
Step 3: Stop Random Production
Producing items randomly is a common mistake.
Why it matters:
Random production fills barns, consumes crops unnecessarily, and blocks space for event-specific goods.
What I do:
- Pause unnecessary factories
- Produce only event-relevant items
- Keep raw materials organized
Example:
Before a Great Freight event, I paused bread and cheese production in factories because they weren’t needed for the event. This freed barn space and allowed me to store items I did need.
Pro Tip:
Create a mini production schedule for the week before the event. Decide which factories to pause and which to run. This reduces chaos during the event.
Step 4: Upgrade Your Barn
The barn is the backbone of event preparation.
Why it matters:
A small barn leads to overflow, forced sales, and lost rewards.
My strategy:
- Upgrade barn one week before events
- Stock up nails, paint, and hammers
- Always keep free slots for unexpected event goods
Example:
During Professor’s Experiments, upgrading my barn allowed me to store 60 additional items. This prevented me from selling goods prematurely and losing points.
Pro Tip:
Aim to always have 30–50 free slots before an event. It’s better to have extra space than to scramble mid-event.
Step 5: Plan Crop Production
Crops are the foundation of all factories, zoo orders, and event goods.
Why it matters:
Without crops, factories stop, zoo orders fail, and event progress slows down.
My crop strategy:
- Grow long-time crops overnight (cotton, rubber)
- Grow short-time crops during active play (wheat, corn)
- Maintain a 20–30 unit buffer of key crops
Example:
Before Transport Magnate, I ensured I had 30 cotton units ready. This allowed me to produce fabrics in factories without delays, completing event tasks faster.
Pro Tip:
Keep a list of crops required for multiple events and prioritize them. This saves time and resources.
Step 6: Pre-Produce Factory Goods
Some events require factory-produced items.
Why it matters:
Producing long-time items during the event slows progress.
My preparation:
- Queue long-time items first
- Keep short-time items ready for quick production during the event
Example:
During Great Freight, pre-producing 50 fabric items allowed me to complete tasks hours ahead of schedule.
Pro Tip:
Check which goods are recurring in upcoming events. Producing them in advance maximizes efficiency.
Step 7: Save Mining Tools for Mine Time
Mining tools are the most valuable resource during Mine Time.
Why it matters:
Using tools outside events wastes potential points.
My rule:
❌ Never use drills, dynamite, or TNT outside Mine Time
✔ Use all tools during event hours for maximum reward
Pro Tip:
Divide tools strategically:
- Save a set for high-yield mines
- Reserve a few for emergency boosts near the end
Example:
In one Mine Time event, I saved 10 drills for the last 6 hours. This allowed me to climb leaderboard ranks quickly without extra T-cash.
Step 8: Manage Zoo Orders
Zoo orders help clear excess goods and provide XP.
Why it matters:
Zoo orders can block barn space if left unmanaged.
My approach:
- Complete partially filled enclosures before events
- Avoid starting new enclosures that lock event goods
Example:
Before Transport Magnate, I completed 3 enclosures, which freed up 40 barn slots. This allowed me to store newly produced event items immediately.
Pro Tip:
Track which zoo items are common across events to avoid double-production.
Step 9: Prepare Transport (Trains, Planes, Helicopters)
Events like Transport Magnate rely heavily on transport.
Why it matters:
Sending transport outside event tasks wastes points.
My strategy:
- Keep vehicles idle before the event
- Activate transport only for event tasks
- Plan deliveries efficiently
Example:
Sending 3 trains at the same time during peak scoring hours earned me 200+ points in a single batch.
Pro Tip:
Coordinate with friends or co-op members to avoid overlapping deliveries.
Step 10: Save Boosters
Boosters multiply efficiency for crops, factories, and transport.
Why it matters:
Using boosters outside events gives minimal benefit.
My strategy:
- Activate boosters only during event hours
- Use double-crop or speed boosters for last-hour pushes
Example:
During Regatta, activating a speed booster in the last hour helped my co-op claim a higher tier reward.
Step 11: Join an Active Co-op for Regatta
Regatta is team-based and requires collaboration.
My approach:
- Join a co-op with active members
- Track team progress
- Communicate for synchronized deliveries
Pro Tip:
Coordinate delivery timing with teammates to maximize co-op points efficiently.
Step 12: Plan Daily Playtime Around Events
Efficient play saves time and prevents burnout.
My routine:
- Short sessions for production management
- Long sessions for completing event tasks
- Enable notifications for important event milestones
Pro Tip:
Set reminders for critical times like item crates or special orders.
