Also, was super happy to see this:

"- Released an optimization that will cause the game to consume less memory so you will be able to navigate more farms without experiencing Flash crashes. Many more optimizations coming in the next weeks."

YAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!!

AND . . . did you update the Co-op quest button timer? That one was always a bother because it would just say "ready in 1 day" for what seemed like forever - didn't give as much info as some of the other timers. I just checked mine and it said it would be ready in 23 hours and 45 minutes! That's new, right??? Or am I hallucinating again???

Hi Farmer_Susan,

Nothing new in the timings. Once it gets below 1 day it will show hours and minutes.

Probably a terrible dumb question... but ... WHAT "question mark" and where is it?? Can't find any except at top of game and that tells me nothing about ships ???

Hi dorissau

While you are preparing a container, next to the time you will see a ? for you to check.

The new ships shortening started at 3 am this morning. I despatched a ship at 5 am but ever since then whenever I open a farm I get a dialogue box saying The Crops, Fruit and flowers is now ready but it has already been despatched. Is this hapening with everyone? The orange ship is now at person 12. I assume this is a glitch and will get fixed eventually.

huh? All that says is : "If you don't dispatch this ship on time, all its preparation will be lost and you will need to start over.".... nothing about how many ships I've dispatched ????

Hi rodneycs

Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close it and your farm, then reopen your farms and check if you continue receiving the same message.

About the shortened time for containers, please note that it will only apply for those ships that were dispatched AFTER Wednesday, May 17, 2017 9:00 PM eastern time.

Hmmm . . . I'm not sure mine is right. I'm pretty sure I dispatched either 6 or 7 ships today so I would think I'd get a pretty significant cut in timing. I just started my yellow ship and the first container is taking 40.5 minutes? A bit of a savings but less than 5 minutes. I thought we would get more?

Hi Susan,
Click the check box next to the time in the container you are preparing and it will show how many ships are counted. It did not automatically go back to check previous ships. It only starts today.
