Glitch

I can’t play the game no matter what I do,when I launch the game it loads and takes me to a blue screen with the coal,lumber, and other materials on the screen.
But I’m never put into the actual gameplay

Great but glitches

The game is broken because it now says 0 on all my reward timers but i can’t unlock them.
I also can’t get new buildings. My coins, coal, energy Chrystals, and wood counters all say 0 and i am worried the game may crash. Worst of all, I can’t accommodate any of my trains! Please fix it!

Lost all Materials

I lost all of my coal, wood and energy after I exited the game. Now I can’t do anything. The power plant is not upgrading and I am not getting anything from the chests. Get back to work and fix this. I tried to reload two times but I lost all of my progress and materials. I expect a game to work not stop after 5 minutes. Get back to work and fix it.
