What is TC like? Does it have timer on the top of the screen? Rewards?
TC is very new and is still in development, but essentially. there is no timer. The Town Mayor charges up resources and when he reaches his full charge you can talk to him and gather the resources. This means you must protect the mayor, if he is killed. or another faction talks to him. your faction will no longer be in control.
There is no locker that simply "builds up" resources, you have to be there and gather the resources off the mayor when he is ready to give it to you.
you can check ~tclist to see what towns are owned by who. ( and the who is fun because Factions can customize their names )
as far as rewards are concerned they vary, The small towns that are under siege by zombies alot do not often have strong rewards as their town isn't powerful. but larger towns have large rewards.
for example:
Broken hills will give you Metal Armour, 3500 caps, 1k 7.62 ammo.
This timer recharges in a few minutes, so you can really milk it.
the large special location takes a much longer time to charge up but it dispenses 10k caps and 5 Solar Scorchers.
