Thumbs down Loading Containers on Cargo Ships

The most frustrating thing I experience on FT is when I load containers on Cargo Ships. It is most frustrating to have that pop up keep popping up to let me know that a container has finished loading. Even after I have loaded ALL containers and well after I have dispatched my ship, I continue to get that pop up, regardless of what I am currently doing. There is NO way to stop it. Why can't the developers add a box for us to check, to prevent us from being notified? Is there a way to stop this that I am unaware of? I've tried reloading the game, clearing my cache files, rebooting my computer etc. nothing works. I'm really sick of dealing with this every time I load containers and dispatch a cargo ship.
Thank you

Hi Gary,
I moved your post to the thread about the Cargo ships.
The only thing I can Suggest is to report this to Support and see if they can find out why it continues to happen for you. To contact Support click on the link below, fill out the form and submit it. Be patient as it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for them to respond to you depending on how many tickets they have ahead of yours.
http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/settings2/support/

You will receive an automatic response email when you submit your ticket. That email will have your ticket number and a link for you to check the status of your ticket, so please do not delete that email. If you do not see the email then check your spam folder as sometimes those emails get classified as spam.

If you wish to make a suggestion about this please place it in the Suggestions section. You can not start a new thread there but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.

Hi, sorry if I'm on the wrong thread. I have been gone for years and I'm now trying to catch up. Can someone please post the link for when ships were first released? I have a couple but have no clue what I'm doing. Don't know about trading or super neighbors. I don't even know what the big black X is for, lol. Catching up a little at a time. Thanks!

I was so excited to see the new cargo ship tools, and I went out and bought them. But you know clicking 11 times per ship in the dock is nothing compared to devoting upwards of 10 hours to the game in order to load one ship. These tools should work at home as well as they work on foreign soil.

Hi AnnaWalls,
You can lower that amount of time required to prepare the containers, by dispatching a ship each day. The more ships you have dispatched in a 7 day period the lower the time for preparing each container. The following information is in the Game Guide chapter 32 about the ships:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showth...18#post6164118


When I have to stop my ships for a while because I am not able to be on for vacation or other reasons, then when I start up again I prepare 1 or 2 containers for each ship each day instead of preparing all 10. Then I send them out with the small number of containers until I have sent out enough ships to get the times back down to workable amounts.

Hi MOM GLENDA

I moved your post to Discussions about cargo ships in General Feedback.

Think many of us have to redo our logbook, some farmers have stopped playing after the migration waiting to have all features back and others maybe forgot about the Ships, how they work and how to close their ports if they dont want to do them.

You may continue trying till you have a list that likes you, you could ask your neighbors if they are doing ships and have an idea how many are working them.

Default Quitting ships

The time frame to load and dispatch your ship needs to be increased from 1 day to 1.5 - 2 days

untill then im quitting sending ships out been trying for 4 days to get 1 ship out but keep missing the expiry

Rant Complete
