Focus on filling orders by prioritizing trains, then planes, then everything else after. Trains help your town grow, so they should come first. Upgrading trains should be your first priority if you are an active player.
While it might seem obvious, don’t block your production queue with long items while you are actively playing. During active play, try to make the base item (for example, cream) so you have a number of them, and save the time-consuming items (for example, yogurt) for when you are going to be offline for a while. Also, look at the airport after you send a plane to plan ahead for the next one (especially if it’s a regatta task). You can let co-op members know if a particularly difficult item is coming for your next plane (for example, plum jam or similar items).
Generally speaking, the number and type of item you need is tuned to your level. If it’s a short time item to produce, you’ll likely need a lot of them, but a long time item will be fewer.
The middle of the production chain is the most important to upgrade (Dairy, Textiles, Sugar, and to a lesser extent the bakery). Since they produce goods that are used farther down the chain, they essentially count twice. For instance, milk produces cream which is then used in ice cream. Cream is important to upgrade, because at the highest level, you get cream 20% faster, which allows ice cream to go faster and the gold bonus stacks as well. If you don’t understand, just trust that it’s true and watch your profits go up.
Barn space: Never save short production time items like wheat, corn and carrots. Since at most they take 10 minutes to produce, saving them just isn’t efficient. Sell them out of your barn first to clear space if you need it.
Think of all items in terms of time. For instance, bread is a 7 minute item (2 mins for the wheat plus 5 minutes to bake). Suits take 20.5 hours (15 hours for silk, 1.5 hours to make silk cloth, 4 hours for the suit). The lesson here is never just sell a suit out of your barn because it is worth more gold — it took you nearly a day to make it).
Pro tip on barn space: Don’t smelt ore until you need it. Raw ore doesn’t take barn space, but the finished ingots do take space.
Never spend green dollars on speeding up anything. Use green dollars on factory box upgrades (getting extra production space), possibly to finish a barn upgrade or building if you are really hurting for space or population. Everyone makes their own decisions regarding spending real money on the game, but you can play without spending much at all and we don’t expect you should have to do so.
