Gems

Gems () are the Premium currency used by TrainStation. They allow the player to purchase certain benefits, such as:

Items that are usually higher quality than what can be purchased for other at the same level.
Items that are unlocked earlier than when purchased other .
Items that are usually cosmetically superior; they look much nicer than regular items!
Speeding Up trains.

Although TrainStation is playable and enjoyable without spending any real money, Pixel Federation must pay their employees and various administrative fees to provide a game that is worth attention. To support the game, a gem purchase helps keep this game around for a long time!

Gems can be acquired in a number of ways, including from the Gem Shop, Contracts, Special Trains, and more:

Gem ShopEdit

The Gem Shop can be found within the game. Here, real money can be used to purchase specific quantities of Gems. Gems purchased while playing on the TrainStation Portal page include a 10% BONUS!

Subscription Details:

Daily Gems are collected from the Gem Shop. A small red number appears on the in-game button when ready for collection.
Players can buy both Gem subscriptions, if desired, and collect them both.
The Daily Gems Forever subscription is just that; 5 can be collected once per day forever. Players must log in each day to collect these Gems. They do not build up if a day is missed.
The Daily Gems for 30 Days subscription allows the player to collect 20 once per day thirty times. If the player misses a day, the subscription will continue until all 600 are collected. This subscription does *not* auto-renew and must be manually purchased again, if desired.
Once collected, the next subscription Gems will appear 22 hours later.
