+Besides the depots listed in the Services tables that served all of Cashew's lines (except the Toei Chūō Line), the Cashew Transport Authority operated several other facilities, both for railway operation and civil infrastructure, providing realism to their urban developments.
 ==== Headquarters ====
+<WRAP 384px right>
+{{  :cashew_hq.png?380}}The Cashew Transport Authority Headquarters
+</WRAP>
 The **Cashew Transport Authority Headquarters** are located in Downtown Moondow's South Street, adjacent to the Theatre and City Hall, as well as City Hall Metro station and Moondow Mall Tram stop. They served as the base of operations for the company and control room for line operation. The building has 21 floors and a total capacity of 408 offices, plus nooBotond's CEO office. The ground floor also hosts the Cashew Transport Authority Visitor's Centre, with a vehicle exhibit showing a Highlands Line Class 345, an Amethyst Line Tianjin Metro Line 8 6A stock, a MetroLink Bombardier M5000 and a Moondow Metro M2 Vienna Type U11, which had replaced an Autumn Line MPL 16 parked there earlier.
+==== Oakville Vehicle Testing Facility ====
+The **Cashew Transport Authority Vehicle Testing Facility** is located just south of Oakville bus stop. The facility has 4 sidings to test the appearance and functionality of various new vehicles. As of August 2026, a Trident Railways SNG, previously in service on the Highlands Regional, a Moondow Metro M1 Metrocar, a Metro M2 Vienna U-Bahn Type V Gen3 and a Seoul Subway train are parked at the facility.
+==== Civil infrastructure ====
+=== Botond Burgers ===
+-> //Main article: [[mtr_letsplay:botond_burgers|Botond Burgers]]//
+**Botond Burgers** is a restaurant chain founded by nooBotond and governed by the Cashew Transport Authority until the takeover. It is headquartered in Downtown Moondow, between Moondow Mall and the Tubetrain Hotel. Botond Burgers is the largest restaurant, fast food, and overall store chain on the Let's Play Server, having a total of 52 locations within Cashew's former network and almost 70 stores at other locations across the server. It has increasingly gained popularity with the introduction of the [[mtr_letsplay:mtr_quest|Quest system]], with an own quest, "Botond Burgers Server Tour", dedicated to travelling the server to visit various locations.
+After the takeover, the new owner Moszyan Railways have declared that no development of new stores is to be excpected.
+=== MediaCity Mall ===
+The **MediaCity Mall** is one of two formerly Cashew-owned malls. It is located at namesake MediaCityBT, which is inspired by [[wp>MediaCityUK]] in Manchester. The mall has 5 floors housing a total of 19 stores (including a Botond Burgers restaurant), as well as a post office, a cinema, a playground, a miniature train, and several lounges.
+=== Moondow Mall ===
+The **Moondow Mall** is the newer of Cashew's two malls, located in the heart of Downtown Moondow across the park from Moondow Station. It has 3 floors with 12 stores, a post office and a cinema. The mall is a walkable distance from the Moondow Tram stop of the same name.
+=== MediaCity Hotel ===
+Just like the malls, there are two formerly Cashew-owned hotels, also in MediaCityBT and Moondow. The first one is the **MediaCity Hotel** directly adjacent to the MetroLink stop. It has 11 floors, 27 rooms, a restaurant and a rooftop pool terrace. As of August 2026, the hotel is full and no reservations can be made.
+=== Tubetrain Hotel ===
+The **Tubetrain Hotel** is located in southeastern Downtown Moondow, between the Ferry Pier and the Botond Burgers HQ. It has 18 floors, 70 rooms (of which 40 are 3rd class, 20 are 2nd class and 10 are 1st class), two cafés, a lounge and a rooftop terrace (without pool). The Tubetrain Hotel is served by a Moondow Metro M1 station of the same name. It is also involved in the "Botond Burgers Server Tour" quest. As of August 2026, all 3rd class rooms as well as 11 2nd class rooms are available and can be reserved via the Discord server chat.
