The Logistics Center is located in Your Station just west of the Warehouse. It allows player to use their locomotives and automate collection from previous regions without the use of dispatchers[1]. The players can collect from all regions. It was announced in the version 2.8.0 update log but is released in version 2.8.1, on May 15, 2023. It is available from level 45.
Resource Collection Automation[]
To collect a certain resource from the Logistics Center, the player must first have the appropriate track. Then, said track must have at least a train in the available slot(s). Once all those are all done, the player only needs to wait for the collection time and collect the resource(s). The trains will stay in the slot(s) and continue to collect the resources again. If the player wishes not to collect them, they will stay in the Logistics Center. Furthermore, once a train is assigned to the Center, it will stay in the Center. The player can no longer use it outside the Center (like for doing jobs) and, therefore, will need to spend some gems to remove it[1].
How much resources are being collected depend on the total capacity of all the trains assigned to a specific track. Any changes done to the capacity of the train(s) assigned to the Logistics Center, like upgrading them, using boosts, etc., also affect how much resources that are being collected[1].
Buying Tracks and Slots[]
Only the track for Coal are given for free as a tutorial. To be able to collect a certain resource, the player must first buy the track for it with Gold Coins.
In each track, there are six slots provided: one is free, the other two on top can be bought with Gold Coins, and the three at the bottom can be bought with gems. Each slot has its own requirement in order to be filled and the trains must also come from the same region as the resource (e.g. Coal is a Region 1 resource, and getting Coal from the Logistics Center will require trains from Region 1 only).
As in-game, signifies the minimum power of the locomotive. As an example, 25 means the locomotive must have power 25 or above.
