I have a question when you are preparing your ships can you close the box so you can do other things

Thank god ships will move on after 6 hours or they should .. i dont have access to a computer during work hours, Mon - FRi 8+ hrs a day and would feel really bad if my neighbors ships sat at my dock all day until i got home from work to load them

Hi Max_river,
Yes you can. It will continue until that container is ready.

Hi Storm,
That was a suggested change. The ships do not move on after 6 hours.

I thought they were docking at the farms that are the most active in the first few days...very confusing.
Actually, the second stop is the same farm as the first. There is only one neighbor with her name...she just changed her profile picture lately. My ship has been there 8 hrs and will probably come back empty.

I thought that if no one helps out they still come back in 7 days. Am I correct? If so - what's to worry about? Please reply Taz or someone. Thanks.

Agree with the poster who stated that since the ships are a coin item, that the reward shouldn't be as lucrative as a FC train (and don't forget, you have to pay for each car, so they are costly). As to the people who are concerned about their ship getting stuck in a port with no assistance from that neighbor. I will let this happen once, but if it happens twice with the same neighbor, then that is when they will no longer remain a neighbor. I'm sure there will be plenty of people anxious to obtain new neighbors just to fill the amount needed to obtain the ships. Un-neighboring might seem extreme, it is a personal choice, but I do this when I continually work a neighbors facility posts and they don't return the favor.

Does anyone know if the 24 hour period until you can start loading the next ship is 24 hours from when you first started loading the last dispatched ship or 24 hours from when you dispatched that last ship?

Yes I have had 3 or 4 and sent them on their way. Depending on how active you are you could be further down the list and they will get there eventually. Just keep checking. "If you build it, they will come"
