| '''''Is it possible to get a shorter [[takeover time]]?'''''
| In the beginning of your Turf career your take over takeover time is 30 seconds. As you level up (by earning [[points]]) that time will decrease all the way up until rank 60, where you will get the shortest possible takeover time of only 18 seconds. Your takeover time can be further decreased in two ways: Having the GPS on will grant you the [[GPS bonus]], granting you a five second decrease of your takeover time. By becoming [[Region Lord]] you receive another five seconds deduction of your takeover time. Thus, the shortest achievable [[takeover time]] time is 8 seconds.
|-
| '''''What is a [[revisit]]?'''''
| They wear a crown due to acquiring the [[Region Lord]] bonus by owning the most zones in a region. A Region Lord is awarded a crown (''see: [[Wardrobe]]''), and a [[takeover time]] bonus.
|-
| '''''How does the game decide where my [[Region#Home region and chat region|home region]] is?'''''
| The [[region]] where you have taken most [[zone]]s during the current [[round]] is considered your home region. It is possible for a home region to change mid-round. If, for example, you start a [[round]] in region ''A'', and take at least one zone there (and in no other region), then region ''A'' will be considered your home region. When you enter a different region, region ''B'', you need to take more zones in that region than in region ''A'' before region ''B'' is considered your new home region.
|-
| '''''What does a [[Rules|green sign with an ''e'']] ([[File:Sign event.png|18px]]) on the map mean?'''''
| This symbol indicates where [[Zone#Event zones|event zones]] are.
|-
| '''''How do I report a zone issue?'''''
| All issue reports are made in the [http://issues.turfgame.com Turf Game Issue Tracking system]. A guide on how to proceed can be found [[Guide:Issue reports|here]].
|}
|-
| '''''Who makes the decisions about suggested zones?'''''
| The [[zone makers]], the part of [[Turf Crew]] responsible for the placement of zones. [[Zone suggestions suggestion]]s influence the zone placements made by the zone makers and help make better zone decisions, so keep them coming!
|-
| '''''What size should a suggested zone be?'''''
| The aim for the zone size is for them to be approximately 25 by 25 meters, but that can vary a bit depending on the location of the zone. E.g. if a zone is placed in an area where the GPS reception might be worse due to large buildings or dense vegetation, the zone then generally needs to be larger to compensate for this problem.
|-
| '''''What indicates a good [[zone suggestion]]?'''''| A [[zone suggestion ]] can be good in many ways. It can be situated in a historical place, it can have a splendid view, it can be in a park, it can be in a large square, or why not in a swamp so that you get a memory that you will never forget when taking it. A good zone can also be quite ordinary, but its location might be good for strategical reasons, that is, together with other zones it might form a nice tour.
|-
| '''''What should I try to avoid when making a [[zone suggestion]]?'''''
| Try to avoid placing a zone where it might become a hazard for the ''Turf'' players. Examples of such locations are highways, railways, etc. If you have to trespass to take a zone - it is bad. If a zone is indoors it is also bad. Another example is a zone that could cause turfers to leave marks, for example, leaving [[bicycle|bike]] tracks over a waterlogged lawn. If a zone is inconvenient but not dangerous to take, then it is not considered bad. Please report bad zones by submitting a ticket on the [https://issues.turfgame.com Issues page]. Zones where the GPS position is interfered by, for example, surrounding buildings can also be reported.
|-
| '''''Why has the zone I suggested not been created?'''''
| What you create/propose in the app is just a suggestion. Zone makers create new zones in areas when the activity increases and more zones are needed. When they do that they will look at the suggestions in the area and accept those that they like. Zone makers do not get notified upon new zone request. This means that even though your [[zone suggestion ]] has not been created yet it might be in the future. If you think an area has been overlooked and needs more zones you should create a post in the subforum corresponding to the region of the location to get the attention of the responsible [[zone makers|zone maker]].
