thank you for that information... I have a further question, how do you even turn your port on or off?
Thanks

Hi farm town addiction :)

Tiger is not available at this moment.

Please click in your preferences, the wrench.

Look for Enable Ships option.

With this option you can participate in the ships feature of the game (check mark added) or you can close your port (remove the check mark) so you do not get any ships coming to your port. When this is disabled your seaport will not receive any more ships from other players and other players will not be able to load your ships.

thank you for that marymarcel.. I didn't realise that was even an option.

You are welcome farm town addiction and glad it helped you :)

skipping ahead
 

I see a few neighbors are filling my ship before the boat actually reached their port. is that done with the overhead crane?

Hi spoiler :)

Your ship has to arrive to their port for them to be able to load it. If your ship is in the previous port it is impossible the next farmer could load it.

You have full information about the overhead cranes in the following link from our Game Guide:

skip
 

Sure looks like it can be done.

If you are talking about Petunia port, it is pink as she has closed her port.

So when your ship gets that port, will be automatically skiped.

skip
 

So it says filled but it wont?

or is that a neat little trick? :)

just looked back at past ship...... zero loaded.

There is no trick spoiler.

Your friend Petunia has her port closed. When a farmer closes the port then it will show up as pink in your Ships Logbook to let you decide if you want to change that farmer for another who has the port open.

By the time you took the pic, your port had been in Reine port for 2.8 hours.

When Reine loads the ship, it will go to Hank Hill port, then after loaded to Jar port, then after loaded to Charis port, after loaded to Emilie port.

After Emilie loads the ship, it will automatically skip Petunia port as it is closed. As it is closed it shows 0 minutes as it will not wait there.
It automatically will go to deb port.
