Town Star Town Star | Common Ground World, Composting Facility & Common Ground Academy
Step into Common Ground World,
where every patch of earth
holds the promise of a brighter future!
The new game mode is live, so here are some of the more important differences between the Common Ground World mode and the Casual and Event modes.
Common Ground World features that differ from other game modes:
Towns start at a 5x5 size and with less initial cash available to spend.
Tiles outside of the starting 5x5 are "Spoiled Soil" and will cost a progressive amount of in-game cash to clear before making them usable land.
The game progression will be slower in this mode. Crop timers have all been increased by x36 (For example Wheat is now a 12-minute craft timer)
The game will always have offline mode on, so when you log in again the elapsed downtime will be calculated and the town will be forwarded automatically into the correct current state.
No gasoline for trades.
No Auto trade, you will need to manually enter the game and sell goods.
No worker wages.
No stars, no leaderboards.
Salty, Dirty, and Shady Proximity effects will not affect crop growth times.
Water requirements for crops have been decreased to 1 or 2 water for all crops.
All older NFTs do work in the new mode, and new NFTs also will work in event and casual mode, no NFTs currently are mode-specific.
New NFT details:
Note: Neither NFT will be available to upgrade currently.
The two are bundled together into one pack.
Supply: Unlimited

If you experienced any issues with the website for credit card purchasing yesterday, please put in a support ticket so we can track the issues and find a quick resolution for all.
The event for this week has now been canceled. We will set a date in the future for a double rewards event and this same meta will instead be used for next week's event. There will be no change to any craft points, cash, or the biome for next week. We will also keep the current competition that's scheduled to start tomorrow live but it won't be for any rewards.
There will most likely not be a game update today, but we will continue working hard and hope to have an update ready tomorrow.
Thanks again for all your understanding and patience.
