No train at all - not fixed or waiting to be fixed at level 72. This is an active player. Wonder how this is possible?

Oh sheesh, I think I'm losing my mind because I can't remember..., but wasn't the Town update part of an update that had to be downloaded from the app store? I can't remember beans anymore, lol--you'd think the update was a couple of years ago, lol :o
If it was, I have my automatic updates turned off so maybe this person does too?
Edited to add...nevermind, I figured it out, lol. You can only avoid the download for a little bit. Back to not understanding.
Ignore me, lol
d2!!!! You crack me up!!!!!
Perhaps maybe, just maybe, if you come out from under your desk, your brain will get some fresh air and it will start to methodically work again.
(I'm just totally joking! But I had to chime in, especially after reading your "you've been playing too long" post)
This isn't the player playing it. It's just that the player has not updated the app and when we visit his farm, we will not see the rails and handcar. The screenshot is not of the OP's farm, but someone else's, and maybe he hasn't logged in for a while so the game still shows the old state of his farm
Yeah but the OP said it was an active player. That's what makes it so odd. Maybe they have unhooked their game for Game Center and google/ Facebook. There have been days when my Game Center doesn't connect. Can you play like that without updating. Unless they are playing on an emulator. I don't know how those things work.
Umm I think being an active player does not necessarily mean that you would stay active forever. The OP did not say he saw activities on that person's farm, therefore I guess that player is currently staying away from his farm. I didn't know HD would force you to update the app, but at least once I have delayed a minor update for quite long (on Android). I don't know how it goes for major updates. I have seen many farms as the one in the screenshot, that was when the town update came out and many players haven't had the time to update their app yet.
I'm on Android, and I can't avoid updating. The train update went live when I was on the road in the middle of nowhere. There was no way I was downloading that huge update without wi-fi, so I couldn't play. I just wanted to stock my dairy and sugar mill, but noooo.....
It's true that you'll see farms without train stations if the player hasn't checked in since the update. I deleted about 20 followers because they didn't have train stations after a month. They were no longer playing, so I punted them.
But it's weird to see it with an active player. Some kind of memory issue, maybe? If not, yeah, he's probably playing on an emulator.
And if we don't watch it, they will get the phone box! Just like the angels did. I changed my eBay password the other day and of course had to check out both the tigger stuff and the Dr. Who stuff for sale. And there was a towel or blanket with a bunch of minions from despicable ME taking off with the Tardis. It was really cool.
An emulator is hardware or software or both that duplicates (or emulates) the functions of one computer system (the guest) in another computer system (the host), different from the first one, so that the emulated behavior closely resembles the behavior of the real system (the guest). So basically I can use an PS emulator to run and play PlayStation games on a PC for example, or Nintendo games on iOS.
However, I'm not sure on which platform this player is playing, and whether there is such an emulator for another platform on that platform. If that's the case, what's the point of playing HD on an emulator? To avoid being forced to update to a newer version, in which exploitable bugs/loopholes have been patched ?
The OP should ask this particular player directly to find out what he's got in mind :rolleyes:
There are a lot of reasons. Maybe he wants to play Hay Day but doesn't have a tablet or a smartphone.
But I've heard that using an emulator also makes it easier to, er, take shortcuts. Those "even more strange farms"? I bet they are being run on banks of PCs, using emulators.
Seriously, if I didn't have a smartphone or tablet and thus had to sit in front of a PC/Mac to play HD on an emulator, then I wouldn't be able to become such an active player haha ;). (but really, who doesn't have a smartphone or tablet these days :rolleyes:)
But it would be nice if the OP can ask this player to find out what tricks he is using :D
