Auto Producers in Travel Town | Guide

Travel Town, where energy is everything. But what if you could generate a steady stream of valuable items—and the coins they bring—without spending a single point of energy? Enter auto producers, the single most powerful tool for passive income in the game. After countless hours optimizing my own board, I’ve distilled the ultimate strategy for turning these special generators into a coin-making empire.

What Makes Auto Producers a Game-Changer?

Unlike standard producers that demand energy for every tap, auto producers work on a simple cooldown timer. Once you claim their items, they begin regenerating a new batch automatically. This means they are constantly creating resources for you in the background, whether you’re actively playing, sleeping, or at work. Harnessing this mechanic is the key to breaking free from the energy grind and accelerating your progress.

The Complete Auto Producer Timeline

There are 13 auto producers in Travel Town, each unlocking at a specific level. Crucially, some of these producers are temporary and will “retire” as you level up, while others are permanent fixtures on your board. Knowing which is which is essential for your long-term strategy.

“No-Merge” Strategy

The single biggest mistake players make is merging their auto producers to the highest possible level. Every time you merge, you lose a source of production. The expert strategy is simple but revolutionary: never merge your auto producers.

Here’s how it works: When you unlock a new auto producer, you’ll receive several lower-level versions (e.g., Level 1 and Level 2). Instead of combining them, keep them separate. Do this for every subsequent level you unlock. By doing this with the Jewelry Display, for instance, you could end up with 9 individual producers spitting out items instead of just one. This dramatically multiplies your item generation without any extra cost.

To implement this effectively:

• Create Space: Dedicate corners of your board to clusters of auto producers to prevent accidental merges.
• Use Your Storage: The producer inventory (the box where new producers go) is your best friend. You can store lower-level producers there safely, and they will still generate items. This keeps your main board clear while maximizing your production.

Items to Riches

Auto producers truly shine when you pair their output with auto orders. Many of the items they generate are specifically designed to trigger these high-value orders, which scale up their coin rewards the more you complete them. Because the items from auto producers cost zero energy to make, the coins you get from their corresponding auto orders are 100% profit.

This energy-free income is a lifesaver during partner events or when you’re pushing through high-level regular orders. While your energy is focused elsewhere, your auto producers are quietly building your bankroll in the background.

Focus on maximizing the output from your permanent producers like the Vine and Barn Vehicles, as these will be your reliable workhorses for the entire game. For the producers that retire, exploit them heavily while they are active on your board to build a strong economic foundation for the levels to come.

By adopting the no-merge strategy and aligning your production with the auto order system, you transform these simple generators into the cornerstone of a powerful economic engine. It’s the ultimate play-smarter-not-harder approach that will set you apart in Travel Town.
