Both the Post Office look and its processes have been updated during the large city update in June 2021
----------------------------------------------
Both Post Offices on the map will trade Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] between themselves, or rather between the stations having a Post Office look in their catchment zones. Delivery of the mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] will earn Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]]. Moreover, mail delivery contributes to the town growth. Post Offices only appear in [[Ages#EraII|'''Era II''']], the Steam Era. During the transition between [[Ages#EraI|Era I]] and Processes have been updated during [[Ages#EraII|Era II]], Post Offices will appear in each towns across the large city update map. Post Office has fixed reserved size of 2x1 squares even if at level 1 the actual building is only 1x1. Mail delivery follows the same rules as passenger delivery, depending on the '''Passenger Destination''' parameter in June 2021[[Game Settings#Advanced|'''Game Settings''']]. The transfer between different trucks and trains happens automatically similarly to transfer of the passengers. '''Do not use Full load / Unload commands for mail.'''
Post Offices on a map will trade Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] between them. Delivery of the mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] will earn Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]]. Moreover, mail delivery contributes to town growth. Post Offices only appear in [[Ages#EraII|Era II]], the Steam Era. During the transition between [[Ages#EraI|Era I]] and [[Ages#EraII|Era II]], post offices will appear in each towns across the map.==Processes==
Once a post office is within the catchment area of a station, two processes will begin. The first process takes Mail delivery follows [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] that has been delivered to the same rule as passenger deliverystation, depending on brings it to the '''Passenger Destination''' parameter in post office and converts it into Money Tokens [[Game Settings#AdvancedFile:token money.png|'''Game Settings'''16px]]. The transfer between different trucks and trains happens automatically similar to tranfer at a rate of 1 piece of the passengersMail [[File:icon mail. '''Do not use Full load / unload commands png|16px]] for mail3 Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]] per 80 squares of distance traveled.'''
The second process produces 1-4 pieces of Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] per 2 [[Game tick|'''game ticks''']]. The Mail delivery actually happens between stations, not between the actual post offices, so it is possible (if you so desire) then sent to be delivering mail between different stations in single city as long as both stations have the Post Office in their catchment zonesnearby station, ready for collection by a train pulling [[Wagons#Mail|'''Mail Wagons''']] or by [[Road_vehicles#Mail_Vehicles|'''Mail carrying trucks''']].
The number of Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] produced depends on the level of the Post office. Post office has 3 levels changing automatically as your city grows. Moreover, at level 3 there is an extra electrification bonus [[File:e_energy.png|16px|link=Electrification#Electrical_network_around_the_cities]] if you connect the Post Office to your electrical network [[File:e_energy.png|16px|link=Processes==Electrification#Electrical_network_around_the_cities]].
Once a post office is within ==Post Office Levels==You can see the catchment area of a station, two processes will begin. The first process takes Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] that has been delivered to progress towards next level in the station, takes it to the post office and converts it into Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]] at a rate of 1 piece of Mail [[File:icon mail.png|16px]] for 3 Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]] per 80 squares of distance traveled.
