I imagine we will need to realize that not everyone is on Farm Town all day.... Many log in and play a bit, then log out and live regular lives... I tend to work my farms in the morning when I have time.... Messaging me may not make a difference if I am not on. I will check the ship centre when I am on - but since we have no control of who the ships are sent to - nor do we know what else they have to do outside of Farm Town, we will need to accept what we get with a smile. Something like the neighborhood challenge... Sometimes we get stuff, and once in a blue moon we might actually get some farmcash. Think I got it once so far. View all of this as extra so not disappointed if the neighbors are not as active...

Oh.... and for those that are interested, you can add the ship onto your main tool bar to avoid having to go into the meeting menus to get it

How did you do that? I see how to add the Seaport Manager but not our actual ship that we're trying to fill. Is there a way to do that?

Hi EireneM,

Can you please try clearing your FT memcache. To do that Click Here. A window will open with a list of "unsetting", that is the memcache being cleared. Close that window and FT if you have it open in another window. Then reload and see if it will let you unload the ship.

I noticed that the notes have a very suspect "and tricky" wordage. They state "that the itinerary will be sent to the 30 MOST RECENTLY-ACTIVE neighbors you have". So that is not necessarily someone who spends a lot of time in FT, but rather the last 30 neighbors that logged into FT just before you dispatched your Ship. So if a person that only checking in to see their quests for 5 minutes each day (right before you dispatch) could very well be your "MOST RECENT ACTIVE PLAYER" and not see it for another 24 hrs. if then.

Is there any advantage to buying the yellow ship over the blue ship other than 15 minutes it takes to fill it?
Is it 45 minutes vs 60 minutes per container to fill?
What if I only want to fill 1 container? Will the ship sail anyway?
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hi Rugged Barbie,

The ships are released according to level and neighbour requirement and yes the yellow one will load the products faster.

If you only want to load one container you can, the dispatch button will show up as soon as that container shows ready to ship.

Just had a number show up on my tool box so I went to open it and it show in side I had one ship at port, so I clicked on the seaport manage and it said not ships docked and now the number 1 that was showing is gone.
