By jove, he's right! How did we miss this before? D'oh!

Long ago, in the Before Time, a set consisted of a locomotive and any number of matching wagons that was less than or equal to the loco's power. It was possible to create a set without it being complete. Contractors' objectives specified the need for complete sets, and the Wiki added emphasis.

Just this moment, I verified in the game that the objective for Mizuki #25 no longer contains the word "complete". I think it's safe to assume that no other contract objectives do, either. Well done, Number One. Make it so.

Concerning Johann:

a) yes

b) no

Adding what you propose to the Train Sets page would make us guilty of overgeneralizing. It also would make us wrong.

As you know, Pixel has guaranteed that no contract or achievement ever will require players to spend gems. Sometimes a contract or achievement has a gems-only option, in which case a non-gems option always is provided. This is a limited guarantee, though. It's limited to contracts and achievements.

There are many sets throughout the game that require spending gems to make them complete. A handful of them are 100% purchased with gems. You can find them in the everyday Shop. You can find them in the Special Offer, which presents cargo sets with high-power locos available only for gems, low-limit wagons available only for gold, and no-limit wagons available only for gems. This is the norm, not an exception.

I would tread extremely lightly with any statement on the Train Sets page that is similar to what you propose. If we do it, we must make it abundantly clear that the statement applies only to sets required by contracts and achievements. My advice would be not to do it at all. It opens the door for too many questions and too much confusion, especially with users whose native language doesn't match the official language of TSWiki.
