Specifically: 1) Seaport Manager: My Seaport: When there are several ships in My Seaport, click to finish each one makes it disappear, and the next one comes up. 2) My Train Manager: Boost Others' Trains, unlike My Seaport, I have to move and click on each train, why not make this like My Seaport - when I click a train, it disappears. 3a) Facility Chains Manager: Import Products From: clicking on a Farmer imports their products and they disappear. 3b) Export Products To: sometimes dozens of farmers are listed with only a few able to export to, but they DON'T disappear when done. 3c) Import & Export function: Closing the current Import or Export windows doesn't turn the icon from Green to Blue. I have to remember which (of the almost 150 icons) I opened and ignore it for a 2nd click. 3d) Why not make the My Chains functions work like the Trade Products functions? (all Import / Export farmers are listed and I can run through the list quickly importing and exporting the products I wish to. 4) Show Cooperative Quests: If I start with the highest player and work coop quests to the left (lowest player) the window crashes every time I hit a player that just completed their last quest. This DOESN'T happen when I start with the lowest player and work to the right (highest player). There's other issues, but this is a starting place for now.

Hi James,
If you want to make a suggestion you need to put it in the Suggestions section where we organize them by subject for the developers to view and not in the General Feedback section.

Also when you do post them in the Suggestions section please do not group them all in one post, but instead post each suggestion in the thread for the subject.

Did the prepare cargo time just increase like a billion fold? I've got four ships out and last night my preparation time jumped from 5 minutes per container to 50 minutes per container.

Hi TsunamiVince,
According to your data you only have 1 ship on the list which is why it went up to 50 minutes. The others that show dispatched are not on that list for some reason. Try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close that as it is done.
If your farm is open close it. Then reopen and check the list again.


For clearing from Slashkey:

Hi TsunamiVince,
I am not sure what happened to your account but there have been some cases of the avatar names getting lost. The only thing you can do in that case is to re-enter it.

Is it possible to ask all players to turn off their ports/train stations if they don't play those? It would help the ones who do play them to pick people who'll send them through.
Thank you

Hi Poof,
I moved your post to the General Feedback thread about Cargo Ships as this is not a suggestion for the developers as they can not do what you are asking.. Just one note though there isn't an enable/disable for the trains in their preferences. Trains are handled different from the ships.
