Post-Release Updates - February 6th, 9:00PM

Bugfix: After preparing a container and starting a new one, some of the information was missing from the My Ships tab in the Seaport manager.

Post-Release Updates - February 7th, 7:15PM

- There have been several issues since the past release last Friday when using the My Ships tab in the Seaport Manager, this caused some Unload and Dispatch operations to not work as expected, and some ships that were in the preparation phase suddenly become empty and ready to be prepared again, we think we now finally found the culprit and just released a fix for this. If you experience any of those issues again, please report it on this thread.

Notice that for the fix to take place you need to reload the game.

Post-Release Updates - February 7th, 10:50PM

- Fixed a couple of more scenarios that also caused issues similar to the ones described above.
- The sorting icon in the My Ships tab is now working correctly. When you sort by Container Preparation Time, the more valuable ships (those with lower container preparation time) will appear first.

Post-Release Updates - February 9th, 3:15PM

- When replacing ports in the itinerary, the replacement list is already excluding disabled neighbour ports
- For dispatched ships, the Ship Logbook tab is highlighting in pink the disabled neighbour ports. These will be ports that were disabled after the ship was dispatched.
- When someone load your ship, if the next port in the itinerary is disabled, the ship will automatically skip that port and move to the next port in the intinerary that is currently enabled for ships
- The sorting button is now listing ships with lower container preparation time first

Post-Release Updates - February 10th, 2:30PM

- You can now work your ships while visiting other players farms and perform all operations on them as if you were on your own farm, prepare containers, dispatch, etc. For this just use your Seaport Manager as usual, and open any ships you like to work on. When you open your ships from the Seaport Manager those will always be your ships. When you open a ship located on another player farm, then you will see the information of that player ship.

BugFix: There were some X025 errors when trying to open some of your ships from the Seaport Manager while visiting other players farms.
BugFix: During the preparation phase, disabled ports were not marked in pink in the Ship Logbook tab.
BugFix: Players with an incorrect computer time were seeing weird progression of the container preparation, sometime the bar advanced too fast, sometimes the progress went back.
BugFix: When auto skipping ports, the information from the last loaded port was incorrectly replicated to the skipped ports. This bug is now fixed, but only for auto skipped ports from this time on.

Post-Release Updates - February 10th, 7:30PM

- Released the Rug and Mat Factory and Outlet.

Post-Release Updates - February 27th, 9:20PM

- BugFix: There was a bug in the system that allowed to dispatch a ship even when 24 hours have passed since the starting of it's preparation, this happened when users left the Ship Manager window open and came the next day after the 24 hour preparation period and dispatched the ship immediately. This is not possible anymore.
- The Ship Manager will not allow to start preparation for containers if there is not enough time for the container to complete it's preparation in the 24 hours available to prepare the ship.
- When a container finish preparation we will alert you with a message box so you can go and start preparing another or dispatch the ship without losing much time.
- When a ship is Dispatched, you can now go to the help of each container (? sign) in the Ship Manager to check how many of each products are currently loaded in the container, just mouse over the product images.
- There is a Closed Eye in the Seaport Manager that will allow you to hide those ships that you don't want to see in the Seaport Manager, ex: ships that you have sold, added to storage or are using as a decoration.
- We have increased the rewards for working others ships in the Seaport Manager. Instead of 500 coins per container, the amount of coins will depend on the user level:

level higher than 800 -> 2500 coins per container (levels higher than 800 will be released in the next 2 weeks)
level higher than 600 -> 2000 coins per container
level higher than 400 -> 1500 coins per container
level higher than 200 -> 1000 coins per container
level less or equal to 200 -> 500 coins per container

- The amount of items supported in the game was reaching a limit, we completed a few changes in order to extend that limit, please report any weird behavior that you may find.

Post-Release Updates - February 28th, 8:00PM

BugFix: An error saying that facilities were full was showing up incorrectly in the game help.

Post-Release Updates - March 1st, 10:00PM

- Released St. Patrick items including 8 new items, 1 as gift, 5 in the top of the St Patricks category in the Store and 2 at the bottom.

Post-Release Updates - March 2nd, 8:25PM

-Bugfix: The Neighborhood Chains Contest was not recognizing facilities correctly. Please reload the game for this change to take effect.
-Bugfix: When hiding ships from the Seaport Manager, sometimes the changes were not saved correctly.

Known Issues:

- None

Hi Grumpdad,
The opt out for the ships is in your preferences (wrench) at the top of your farms

Check Preferences up in the game tool box, at the bottom of the list there is an Enable Ships option to tick or untick.

[Gramby]

I haven't seen anything so far except a Farm Cash Mexican restaurant. Nothing to buy for coins. Why is that? Where are these corn tortillias everyone is talking about?

[Taz D]

Hi Gramby,
The corn tortillas are made in the bakery. The only thing so far released that is for coins are the expansions for farm 32. Any additional information you will just have to wait to see what details Raul writes. I am sure there will be 2 more facilities for coins.

[Poppy559]

Love the new sea port manager. Thank you Raul

[Clohar]

Coins items coming next week CARPET FACTORY and CARPET OUTLET

[angelbob]

Gracias Dios

I can't figure out how to enable/disable my ships. The release also doesn't mention if you can toggle the feature either.

Has it actually been released yet?

7. 'Enable Ships' Preference: When the "Ships" feature is disabled your seaport will not receive any more ships from other players and other players will not be able to load your ships.

[roz1972]

i am liking the new feature in the sea port

[dove1964]

I am not seeing the update only the replys....please fix this...thanks

[Grumpdad]

I have opted out for the ships but have had 6 ships still come into my port, when I click to open the port to move them on I get a message to say that the port is disabled, do I want to enable it? I decline to enable in and move the ship on. I guess this is not how the feature is suppose to work??

My guess is that those ships had already been sent before the release and will still go to your port.

[mrsdont]

No this was after the release. So at the moment my guess is it doesnt work as yet

[ajjeni]

you forgot to mention the prickly pear

[Dutch85]

Thank you Raul and team! My favorite is not having to go to the farm where my ships are each time I want to prepare them...awesome! Love the two part release also!

[Farmer_Susan]

GREAT new release! Already have my Seaport Manager in my toolbox. Will be sooooo much easier - especially when using Puffin. Thanks!

[mhendel]

So excited about enabling ships or not! Awesome feature to use if won't be getting onto the game for a few days!

[mhendel]

you forgot to mention the prickly pear
Prickly Pear Catcus has been out for a few weeks already. It's in the Flowers section.

[SeniorCornwall]

you forgot to mention the prickly pear

It is not new. Was released previously but was not used in anything. Now it is used in Mexican Restaurant...

[Texas Belle]

Thanks Raul & Co., big improvement with the ships... as always you guys rock!!

[mcatton44]

well all right then! I guess I'll keep playing my ships!

[Taz D]

For those of you posting about the Enable ships not working, if you are already on the itinerary for some of your neihbors those ships will still come to your port. Once you disable ships you will not be added to any more itineraries, but will still get the ships that were sent out before you changed your status.

Hi Mrs Don't,
Only if she closed her port before you started the preparation of that ship would she not be on the list. We get our port list as soon as you click the Prepare Ship button now. So if she didn't close her port before you click that then she will still be on your list.
The only thing you can do at that point is if you know they are not going to do ships or not going to be available is to replace her in your itinerary.

[gffarmer]

Wow thanks for the updates on the cargo ships! It is amazing how you can keep coming up with new facilities!! Thanks for a great update as usual.

[MarianPenny]

Changes to the ships should be appreciated both by those ultra-keen ones who don't like their ships hanging about and those who don't want to bother with ships! Thanks!

[Dr. Dirt]

Earlier today when I started loading a container it would show how much time was left before I could start another container on the my ships tab of the seaport manager. Now it just shows "preparing ship". I cleared the memcache but it still just shows preparing ship.

[lindanana1950]

When will they be releasing new levels on farm Farm ?????

[marymarcel]

When will they be releasing new levels on farm Farm ?????


Hi lindanana1950 :)

We dont have that information but we usually receive 25 new levels every 3 months, last time developers added new levels was on December, 2016 so we will have to wait a little more time.

[Minxcat]

always love new stuff and being able to make the farm bigger lol but if you guys can ever come up with a way I can find what farm I put which factory that would be amazing lol

[CEF]

Love the changes to the ships! ( #3 and #7)

[CEF]

I go to my facility manager to find where a particular factory is.



Minxcat: "always love new stuff and being able to make the farm bigger lol but if you guys can ever come up with a way I can find what farm I put which factory that would be amazing lol"

Tis is great for permanent closures, but not so good for temporary closures. I tend to disappear from the internet for 3-4 days at a time and I hate to have ships stuck in my port because they were sent out 2 days before I close my port and arrived after I left.

[mhendel]

I turn off "Enable Ships", but there's still ships going into my ports. What's up with this?

[KCJ]

Thank you. BTW, when are you going to use those brussel sprouts in some restaurants :)
?

[marymarcel]

Hi Dr. Dirt :)

Sorry for the delay to get back to you but we were checking on this and yes, the information is missing.

We emailed the developers about this, thank you for your report. :)

[marymarcel]

Hi mhendel :)

Please take in mind that you probably were in their itenerary before this option was released, so it is possible you will still get some ships in your port.

[Rugged Barbie]

I have disabled the boats.
Yes, I'm still getting boat in my port.
I've been enabling my port to send these boats onward then disabling the port again.
So, I'm thinking, only if someone starts loading a boat during this 1 minute window will i be on their schedule, right?

Hi Rugged Barbie,
I am not sure that you need to enable the ships preference to send on the ones that still show up in your port.

[craftyoldlady7]

I love the seaport manager! Its a great help! Wish you could do the same or similar with the trains. It takes sooo long to load each farm that has a train only to find out it isn't ready to unload.

[marymarcel]

Hi all:)

From Raul's notes for the New Release:

Known Issues:

- If you were already on the itinerary for some of your neighbors when you disabled the Ships, those ships will still come to your port. We will fix this on Monday so the ship auto skip your port in this case.
- After preparing a container and starting a new one, some of the information is missing from the My Ships tab in the Seaport manager.

[MarianPenny]

I would like to say a big thank you to all concerned with the 'making' of this game. Yes, it has it's glitches (don't we all!!) but they work hard to sort them out and any other problems we may have. I really enjoy it and have for a few years now, even though I can't always play for long - so THANK YOU!

[WillowTreeFarm]

I just started to prepare a ship and would like to change the itinerary and I am wondering how I know if a neighbor has blocked ships? Does their port disappear from the list or does my ship just skip their port when it gets to them. Sorry if this has been explained already but if it has, I'm not understanding. Thank you for all you do to help us play this wonderful game. I'm really sad that people have given up on the ships, I think they add a nice challenge to the game.

[Aussie Rae]

look in the tool box, find the clock, then click on Trains, it will show you which trains are ready to unload and which farms they are on.. this feature has been available for ages..

Hi WillowTreeFarm,

Raul posted this about the ships currently going to a neighbour that as since they were dispatched decided not to participate.

[lindylou30]

I would like some more levels please

[WillowTreeFarm]

Thanks for your response Tiger. My question is this: How will we know if a neighbor has blocked their port? I don't want to send my ship to their port if they blocked it so will it show us in the itinerary if a neighbor has blocked their port so we can replace them with someone who is playing the ships?

[L.A.Bob]

I have 3 ships dispatched. 2 before the update (Green & Purple) and the one (Yellow) after the update. The Yellow is not Transparent. I have turned off and then on the setting and there is no difference. Still not transparent. I have cleared the mem cash, and still not transparent.

[Taz D]

I don't want to send my ship to their port if they blocked it so will it show us in the itinerary if a neighbor has blocked their port so we can replace them with someone who is playing the ships?
Hi WillowTreeFarm,
Tiger is not available right now. The only way you will know if a neighbor has blocked their port is they will not show up on your itinerary or in the replacements list if they have blocked their port before you started preparing your ship. It will not show in the itinerary if they have blocked their port after your itinerary is set.
If they have blocked it after you started preparing your ship then they may still be on your itinerary. Raul said he would fix it so those who have closed their ports after your itinerary is set will be automatically skipped. That fix will be done on Monday.

[NanCEurich]

This may not be the place to post this. I sold 4 of my ships, I now have 3 ships, blue, green, & orange. In the "my seaport manager" it shows 7 ships.

Hi NanCEurich,
I still see all of them in your data too.
Please 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 try again.

Did all that, ships still showing up in the seaport manager.

[SeniorCornwall]

always love new stuff and being able to make the farm bigger lol but if you guys can ever come up with a way I can find what farm I put which factory that would be amazing lol

Look at your facility manager and place the factories in alphabetical order..... you should have no trouble finding them ....

[lgable]

When opening my Seaport Manager and preparing ship from another farm I get the error X025 and have to reload taking me back to my farm. This has been happening since the update. Have run the memcache and other troubleshooting advice

[WillowTreeFarm]

Thanks Taz for the answer about how to tell if a neighbor blocked their port. Not having their name show up on the itinerary or replacement list is a great way to let us know they blocked their port.

Hi lgable,
Apparently we are not supposed to be able to do our own ships from others farms. It is only there to take care of ships in our port to load and send them on. We will check with the developers about this.

Thank you, Devs, for being so responsive! How awesome that now we can disable boats when we're going to be away for like a few days and don't want to inconvenience our neighbors.

As an aside, I've had some neighbors for over 5 years and I'm really fond of them. Now, when they send their boats out and I'm not able to click them through, they won't be inconvenienced.

Thank you so mucho gracias!

My husband and I both had issues with starting a ship and his after second container and mine after the last container we were told we had to wait 24 hour to start to prepare a ship I sent a e mail to the address above.

I have some neighbors that have not played Farm Town in over a year. I do not delete them because if I do it will reduce my storage capacity. Now these same neighbors are being placed in my ship's itinerary. Yes I can replace some but I do not have 30 neighbors that are active and doing the ships so I have to skip them in order to move my ships forward. Suggest that if someone is inactive for 6 months or more they be disabled from the ship program. That way they could enable the ships if and when they do return and want to enter the program. Thanks for your consideration.

Suggest that if someone is inactive for 6 months or more they be disabled from the ship program. That way they could enable the ships if and when they do return and want to enter the program. Thanks for your consideration.
Hi PawPaw,
If you wish to make a suggestion please post your suggestion in the Suggestion section where it will be seen along with the rest of the suggestions by the developers. You can not start a new thread there but you can reply to one that fits your suggestion.

Port Ships Are Off .. decided to skip someone and then this message appeared next to their picture on my ships itinerary.. so if I had not looked, my ship would still be there forever and a day I guess.. just wish people who are using this feature would actually be polite enough to let their friends and neighbors know... takes all kinds I guess..

Hi Aussie Rae,
After tomorrow those will be automatically skipped so no time wasted on them.

Hi Aussie Rae,

its ok, I got rid of the offending port.. she seemed to think that since she closed her port.. no ships would arrive, could not convince her that those that had already been sent out before the update still needed to be sent on..

[RichieRoo]

will they be anymore new levels soon

[eastcoast]

why are all the restaurants for money

[Tom C]

PawPaw

The answer to your problem is simple delete the inactive neighbor and send out new neighbor request to those who are active. That is what I did when the co op quest came out. That way you get rid of inactive neighbor and replace it with one that is and you get to keep your storage.

[Qivis]

I just wanted to say thanks for the latest update, Raul. The presence of the new opt out option for the ships will be especially useful. Also, I just got ripped off by another farming game (again) as it said flowers I just harvested did not exist. This kind of error has rarely if ever happened to me in Farm Town and I have always been able to recover lost coins. The other guy's games do not even keep current on their forums let alone keep the game itself up to date. That is why so many of us continue to play the Original and Best!

[Tom C]

My super neighbor just harvested my Pinto Beans just went into farmtown and I did not get any belts or dan bonuses.

[Tiger]

My super neighbor just harvested my Pinto Beans just went into farmtown and I did not get any belts or dan bonuses.

Hi Tom C,

That can happen when the crops are being harvested fast. The best way tends to be to take your time over harvesting them and keep an eye on the belts, if you reach one, stop and wait and see if the bonus pops up. If it doesn't try going to another farm and see if it will pop up then.

I'm sorry but there is no way to recover belt bonuses.

Please 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 try again.

For those who are having the problem of ships not completing the preparation the developers would like some more information:
Are you opening the ships to unload through the Seaport manager or are you going to the farm that the ships are on and opening it directly from the ship to unload them?

We both went through the seaport manager. today we went to the farm and it worked OK

I used the Seaport manager when the problem occurred. Prior to that I successfully loaded seven containers and had started the eighth. I only used the Seaport Manager to check the status of the ships at sea and then made the mistake of going to the loading ship (my farm 7) to continue loading the ship.

I tried three different browsers and ran the clear_memcached link multiple times in an effort to resolve the problem.

I am experiencing the following issues with the ships
1. In the seaport manager, I unload the ship(s) and when I reload the game
and come back, they are once again ready to unload. I did this several
times. Then I went to my ship farm (#32) and they unloaded and stayed
unloaded. So, I guess that problem has a work around.
2. I started to prepare a new ship, clicked on the first container, waited until
it decreased by 2 mins( have been having to do this to keep the
containers loading, this has been happening off and on for a week or so).
I closed the ship, set my timer for 56 mins, and when I came back, there
nothing was complete, and it told me I had to wait 23 hours to dispatch
another ship. This was all done on the ship farm, not in the seaport
manager.

Hi Lornagayle,
It has been reported to the developers already. And no it isn't part of the latest release. It just started this evening though it isn't affecting everyone.

Thanks Taz for the info

I would like to add so maybe you can add to your message to the dev's that mine is working as it should but others I have talked to tonight does not. And some that do NOT work are on the same server as I, so it's probably not a server issue but with individual accounts. That might make it harder.

I went and checked on my daughters account on Opera. Her's is working fine.Checked mine on opera,nope.So some work and others don't. I have a neighbor ,that is not having problems either.

Hi all :)

Raul has posted the following message in the New Release thread:

***Info Needed***:

- For those users experiencing issues unloading ships, for ex:. going to the Seaport Manager, opening the ship, clicking the Unload button, and after that when you open the Seaport Manager again that same ship is ready to unload again, if you are willing to cooperate to resolve this issue, once you have experienced it, please send me a PM (forum private message) and stop doing anything with the ships until I can take a look at your ships.

[WillowTreeFarm]

Just want to report that all of my tabs are working now. Thank you Raul and moderators, you all rock!

Hi Everyone :) Latest update from Rauls notes as follows >>

Post-Release Updates - February 7th, 7:15PM

- There have been several issues since the past release last Friday when using the My Ships tab in the Seaport Manager, this caused some Unload and Dispatch operations to not work as expected, and some ships that were in the preparation phase suddenly become empty and ready to be prepared again, we think we now finally found the culprint and just released a fix for this. If you experience any of those issues again, please report it on this thread.

Notice that for the fix to take place you need to reload the game.

Hi Grampa Jim,

Not sure what you are saying here. Are you saying you prepared a container but when you checked later it hadn't started? How many container have you prepared on that ship?

Can you please supply your link to your farm and let us know which ship you are trying to prepare.
Instructions, if you need them can be found........
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=590390
When you have done that please provide the link in your post.

[Grampa Jim]

Tiger, what I was saying was first thing this morning I filled my yellow ship first container then processing. When I got back the info for that container was gone. Refilled again (45 min)but this time I watched it to insure it would process. It did then went to second contained and started to process it when everything disappeared. Reloaded that container but made sure it processed. Just doing what the info on forum said to do if that happened. The bug is in my program or farmtown per Raul. My farm is already linked.272422134 Thanks

[corogirl]

I unticked the enable ships as soon as this feature was released. Ships are still coming to my port in great numbers and I have checked with neighbours sending them and they have added my farm as a port within the last day or two. It is a real pain to enable them to send them on, then unenable again. What is the point of this feature if it's not working?

Hi Grampa Jim,

I'm sorry but that number you gave does not link to your farm, please try linking again, using the instructions i gave you, as your account is not linked to the forum and the auto linking does not work, so you'll have to get it manually.

So to be clear. You started processing a container, but if you close the manager without waiting until the process is done to 2% it doesn't continue to load? It reverts to not done?

And you are having to do this with all of the containers you are preparing? Meaning this happens 100% of the time?

Are you loading via the seaport manager?
Or are you clicking on the ship and going in that way?

Please can you also check that the date and time on your computer is correct, and any part of it being wrong will mess with timings on the farm.

Hi corogirl,

That issue is still being worked on and due to be fixed sometime this week. See Raul's notes on this in his post, first post, first page of this thread. Any updates will be posted there.

[KojiOrphen]

- The sorting icon in the My Ships tab is now working correctly. When you sort by Container Preparation Time, the more valuable ships (those with lower container preparation time) will appear first.

I've run memcache and relogged in - my ships still sort from LONGEST to SHORTEST preparation times.

Thanks,
Koji

Hi KojiOrphen :)

The developers have been informed about this.

[dorissau]

The option to enable/disable ships is really NOT working. Have three friends who let me know they had opted out two days ago, but just now, preparing my ship, I was astounded to see that they are all still on the roster.

Hi dorissau :)

Hopefully the developers will fix this during this week.

From Raul notes:

Known Issues:

- If you were already on the itinerary for some of your neighbors when you disabled the Ships, those ships will still come to your port. We will fix this issue this week so the ship auto skip your port in this case.
- When replacing ports in your itinerary, the replacement port list currently contain all remaining neighbours, including those who have disable the ships.

[dorissau]

Thanks Mary... I hope so too.

[marymarcel]

Hi all :)

From Raul's notes for the New Release:

Post-Release Updates - February 9th, 3:15PM

- When replacing ports in the itinerary, the replacement list is already excluding disabled neighbour ports
- For dispatched ships, the Ship Logbook tab is highlighting in pink the disabled neighbour ports. These will be ports that were disabled after the ship was dispatched.
- When someone load your ship, if the next port in the itinerary is disabled, the ship will automatically skip that port and move to the next port in the intinerary that is currently enabled for ships
- The sorting button is now listing ships with lower container preparation time first

Known Issues:

- During the preparation phase, disabled ports are still not marked in pink in the Ship Logbook tab.

[Rugged Barbie]

Hi
The open tool box is hanging and not closing out, even when i X it out and when I click on the green man. This has been happening for 2 days now.
I did disable my boats but as of late I am getting them again. I have learned that I don't have to enable boats in order to help them along, which I do.
:)

Hi Lornagayle,
Yes it looks like Facebook has done it again. There is nothing we can do until they fix it again.

[LindaAtwoodHall]

Tonight at least my MY REQUESTS tab won't let me access it so I cannot send gifts nor work neighbors posts.

[Taz D]

Hi ALL,
We are aware that the tabs/buttons across the top of your farms as well as any belt/dan bonus posts and ingredient requests are only taking you to your own farm.
The developers are aware of this. Facebook introduced this problem in a few days ago and fixed it then. It looks like they have done it again and all we can do is patiently wait for Facebook to fix it again.

[Aussie Rae]

thanks for the info Taz, this just happened to me, I was commenting on a post and then "OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG" appeared.. could get back to facebook.. so closed the browser..opened it and was able to get facebook back at least.. time for us all to relax and chill out, (no pun intended, sweltering in a heat wave here in South Australia)

[Taz D]

Hi All,
Latest from Raul:
I confirmed that this was an old bug reported to facebook a few days ago, they fixed it, but with a recent push of new code they introduced the bug again.

The bug report is created and more developers are complaining, so I think they should resolve this one soon.

[marymarcel]

Hi all :)

From Raul notes for the New Release

Post-Release Updates - February 10th, 2:30PM

- You can now work your ships while visiting other players farms and perform all operations on them as if you were on your own farm, prepare containers, dispatch, etc. For this just use your Seaport Manager as usual, and open any ships you like to work on. When you open your ships from the Seaport Manager those will always be your ships. When you open a ship located on another player farm, then you will see the information of that player ship.

BugFix: There were some X025 errors when trying to open some of your ships from the Seaport Manager while visiting other players farms.
BugFix: During the preparation phase, disabled ports were not marked in pink in the Ship Logbook tab.
BugFix: Players with an incorrect computer time were seeing weird progression of the container preparation, sometime the bar advanced too fast, sometimes the progress went back.
BugFix: When auto skipping ports, the information from the last loaded port was incorrectly replicated to the skipped ports. This bug is now fixed, but only for auto skipped ports from this time on.

Post-Release Updates - February 10th, 7:30PM

- Released the Rug and Mat Factory and Outlet.

[phsl]

I have 3 ships dispatched. 2 before the update (Green & Purple) and the one (Yellow) after the update. The Yellow is not Transparent. I have turned off and then on the setting and there is no difference. Still not transparent. I have cleared the mem cash, and still not transparent.

I have the same issue. Of my 5 ships all on the same farm, 3 are transparent and 2 are not. They never change, no matter if they are in port or dispatched.

Hi Gramby,
The problem with IE is not with Farm Town. This problem was introduced by Facebook and they have not fixed the issue as yet.

[boduke66]

Just fyi for everyone,the tabs above the game are working again,unknown when they were fixed,but they are working again,happy farming to everyone.

[Aussie Rae]

FYI, not all people have problems sending gifts with IE, I tested it and can do that with no problems at all.. I think it has a lot to do with an individuals computer, how they do maintenance on it.. clearing flash player, cache, etc. Its not ft's fault.

Google chrome is good for sending/receiving gifts. And also good for boosting and sending on trains.

[Texas Belle]

I have a little problem, my ships are not shading when I send them out, I have the option of shading trains and ships when they are dispatched but it works fine with the trains but not with the ships, they stay as bright as day when I dispatch them.. since I am forgetful when I have to send one out have to go through all of them to see which is the right one, help..

Hi Texas Belle :)

The developers are looking into this problem.

You can check your ships using your Seaport Manager, under My ships tab. You can send them off, unload them, load containers etc.

[SeniorCornwall]

I am still having issues with people on my ship lists that do not seem to play very much (as far as the ships go anyway). I know they can opt out (and some don't), and I can delete them on the ship's log. But my list is starting to be a little long (I delete names I see that don't work one of my ships in a 24 hour period - no judgement, no pestering emails - just think they are not as active as I.

My question is - If I delete these people as friends and neighbors, will that stop them from showing up on my future ship lists? I have lots of friends and neighbors, so can delete a few without issues.

Thanks

Hi SeniorCornwall,
If you accept a gift from those who don't play much then they will show on your itinerary. The only thing you can do in that case is use your replace to put someone on that plays more often.
If you delete someone as a neighbor then they will not show on future lists.

Sorry Taz - Just to make sure I understand... If I delete them as a farmtown neighbour (but leave them as a facebook friend), they will be deleted from all future lists?

Part 2... Assume I deleted them as a neighbour already - and they send me a gift (and I accept it) can they then show up on my list?

[mcdaddie]

With all due respect, I believe the correct answer is if you delete them as neighbor only they can still wind up on your itinerary list because they can still send you a gift and you can still be their neighbor. The only true way you can get them off your itinerary, is to go to their farm and in lower left hand corner there is a tool box. Open the tool box and you will see two "x" at the top. Click on the top one and remove them as your neighbor, click on the second one and that will remove you as their neighbor. After that, you can then unfriend them on FB and you will never see them on your list again. **Always remember, when someone sends you a neighbor request in Farmtown and you accept, you are at least their neighbor even if your personal neighbor list is full. Hope that clears it up.

[mcdaddie]

One other thing to remember. If you post a belt bonus in one of the many sharing groups there are hundreds of people that can click on your bonus link to get their share and when you get your share of the bonus, it qualifies as them helping you and can be in your the itinerary list. At the bottom of the farmtown page is a running list of the last people that have helped which becomes the intinerary list. I always hope that 10 subs is enuf to get a good list. Another trick is to go collect gifts before you "Prepare" your ship and only collect from your favorite people first. That will make sure you have a good number of people you want to see.

Hi Mcdaddie,
I am sorry but you are incorrect. If you remove someone as a neighbor, they will not be on future itineraries for your ships as all ports on the itenerary have to be your neighbors. As posted by Raul in last months release: "- Better neighbour selection to create the ship itinerary. The itinerary is now composed by the neighbours that have helped you in the past week, which you can see at the very bottom of the screen, the boxes with pictures that say "XYZ sent you a gift", etc. If that is not enough to complete the 30 neighbours needed for the itinerary, we will then complete the rest of the ports using the same method we are using now, based on the last date they have played."

If you are still their neighbor then their ships can still be sent to your port for you to load. Removing yourself as their neighbor will then stop their ships from coming to your port.
You are incorrect about the toolbox as well. Clicking the top one will remove you as their neighbor. Clicking the second one will remove you from their buddy list. To remove them as your neighbor you have to do that from your neighbor bar, click on them and then from the menu click on Remove Neighbor.

Hi mcdaddie,
Even if they send you a gift or bonus, if they are not your neighbor they will not be on your itinerary. Only neighbors are placed on your itinerary. The only way someone can be on your itinerary and not be your neighbor would have to be if you removed them after the itinerary was determined.

[Farmer_Susan]

Just curious - doesn't really matter to me one way or the other: what happens if someone doesn't have 30 neighbors? Maybe only 4 or 5. Can they not do ships? Or does the itinerary fill with the same neighbors several times?

Also, and this answer DOES matter to me: since we have our wonderful new Seaport, we don't really need the ships on our farms. Can we put them in storage and still have all the functionality we need through the Seaport or does that mess them up?

Susan, if you go to put your cargo ship in storage, you will get a pop up message asking you "Do you want to add this Cargo Ship(Color) to your Storage?
WARNING: If you currently have any production in this facility, you will lose it!
(To put it back on your farm go to your Storage and click on the Items tab)

hope this helps, :) I have all my ships in storage now, but continue to click on all that arrive in my port and send them on.

Hi Cornish Lil Princess :)

If she got a non friend ship in her port it is because she is in that person's itinerary. To be in the itinerary then she is still neighbor with that person but she has probably removed that person as friend/neighbor.

If she doesnt want to receive those ships anymore, then she can navigate to that farm by clicking in the blue button. Once she is there, she can remove herself as neighbor and/or buddy by clicking in the little tool box placed on the left near the paper note.

Glitch within the past several days perhaps via an upgrade?
My cube upper left that reports when a Quest is completed or available is showing 2 Co-op Quests completed when I only have 2 Co-op Quest in progress and non are completed.

Hi Rugged Barbie,
As any update is probably at least a week away I doubt it has anything to do with an update. Try clearing your memcache and see if that goes away.

Susan, if you go to put your cargo ship in storage, you will get a pop up message asking you "Do you want to add this Cargo Ship(Color) to your Storage?
WARNING: If you currently have any production in this facility, you will lose it!
(To put it back on your farm go to your Storage and click on the Items tab)

hope this helps, :) I have all my ships in storage now, but continue to click on all that arrive in my port and send them on.

Good to know. I just solved my problem by hiding all of them with the green hand tool. Now I'm a happy camper. :D

I'm having no luck anymore in clicking the non neighbor link on the Seaport Manager. I was able to click it and be taken to the persons farm to remove myself from the neighbor bar, now it won't load the farm, I have to hit play to get out of the plain green screen, the name of the farm shows up but nothing else. Any news on this? I have used memcache.

Hi AlyceAnn :)

As far as we know nothing has changed.

Please turn off everything in your preferences, the wrench, before clicking to go to that farm and see if you are able to load the farm.

[AlyceAnn]

I did that and 3 of the 4 did pop up that I could remove myself from their neighbor bar, one the farm would pop up right away and then while the black box was showing the loading it would go to all green, no farm. Did that one 4 times, in between doing the other 3. I never had a problem till a few days ago, I could go to each one and didn't even have to go back to my farm to click the next. I never have trouble going to any farm ever before. Good browser, good internet. I'm stumped.

Please try clearing your memcache (link below), a new window will open with a list of unsettings and numbers, that means your game memory is cleared. Close that window and your farm if it was opened during the clearing. Then reopen your farm and try to navigate to your non friend farm again.

Hi jerrbearsr,
That means they have disabled (unchecked) the ships. When your ship gets to those it will automatically skip that port. They disabled the ships after your itinerary was alredy set.

Raul has released some changes/fixes tonight:

Post-Release Updates - February 27th, 9:20PM

- BugFix: There was a bug in the system that allowed to dispatch a ship even when 24 hours have passed since the starting of it's preparation, this happened when users left the Ship Manager window open and came the next day after the 24 hour preparation period and dispatched the ship immediately. This is not possible anymore.
- The Ship Manager will not allow to start preparation for containers if there is not enough time for the container to complete it's preparation in the 24 hours available to prepare the ship.
- When a container finish preparation we will alert you with a message box so you can go and start preparing another or dispatch the ship without losing much time.
- When a ship is Dispatched, you can now go to the help of each container (? sign) to check how many of each products are currently loaded in the container
- There is a Closed Eye in the Seaport Manager that will allow you to hide those ships that you don't want to see in the Seaport Manager, ex: ships that you have sold, added to storage or are using as a decoration.
- We have increased the rewards for working others ships in the Seaport Manager. Instead of 500 coins per container, the amount of coins will depend on the user level:

level higher than 800 -> 2500 coins per container (levels higher than 800 will be released in the next 2 weeks)
level higher than 600 -> 2000 coins per container
level higher than 400 -> 1500 coins per container
level higher than 200 -> 1000 coins per container
level less or equal to 200 -> 500 coins per container

- The amount of items supported in the game was reaching a limit, we completed a few changes in order to extend that limit, please report any weird behavior that you may find.

[vonalm]

Really nice changes! Thanks!

[leighwj1960]

Not sure if it's related to the recent changes or not but I went in to see about buying the Portuguese Restaurant for the NCC and when I checked to see what ingredients it used got the message that

"The Portuguese Restaurant is currently full:"

I don't own the restaurant and if I don't know what ingredients it uses I won't be buying it either.

Hi leighwj1960 :)

Thanks for your report, we will check into this.

[Grumpdad]

Ship Boosts, 2500 coins per container, that means I only need to boost 820,000 ships with the full 10 containers to get my next farm expansion, may have to reconsider opening my port back up!!

[Angel7]

Not a huge problem, but I'm having a little trouble opening up a ship from the seaport manager since this last update. I have to click on the ship 3 or 4 times to get it to open. just thought you would want to know.

[Missy Lou]

the alert message for the ship is very much appreciated. will see in time how it works

[Farmer_Susan]

the alert message for the ship is very much appreciated. will see in time how it works

My alert message has been a bit wonky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So far, I haven't been able to figure out what's making the difference.

It's doing that for many facilities, not sure if all of them because I'm not going through the whole list. I checked several.
Also, what does the last fix mean: The amount of items supported in the game was reaching a limit, we completed a few changes in order to extend that limit, please report any weird behavior that you may find.
Does that refer to our total items, crops, products, decorations, trees, etc? If so, that might explain why suddenly I ran out of several products that I shouldn't have, like apple juice, in the past weeks.
Can someone clarify the meaning of that fix?

Hi mindyj,
We have sent an email to the developers about the ingredients planner showing as full on all facilities in the store.
The change they made was to increase the number of individual items in the game not your storage. Each item in the game has a code for the program to be able to identify them. The size of the code had to be increased to be able to add more new items.

[jeannine_p]

thank you for the updates to ships and the increase in coins for loading! as always the dev team does an excellent job for us and the mods are doing an excellent job keeping us updated !!cheers to all!! :D

From Raul notes for the New Release

Post-Release Updates - February 28th, 8:00PM


BugFix: An error saying that facilities were full was showing up incorrectly in the game help.

[Aussie Rae]

- When a ship is Dispatched, you can now go to the help of each container (? sign) in the Ship Manager to check how many of each products are currently loaded in the container, just mouse over the product images.
Just checked and my ship, at port #4, and its only carrying the grand total of 3 salmon.. same amount for a lot of other fish... bit disappointing so hoping that this amount really increases the further the ship sails..

Hi Aussie Rae,
From what I am seeing it looks like the farther along a ship goes in ports the amounts get greater and I don't mean by the same amounts. I have ships at 4, 11, 20 and 26 and the difference I see is increasing per port the farther along they go. The one at 4 (completed 3 ports) has 2 where the one at port 11 has 14, the one at port 20 has 45 and the one at 26 has 70.

Hi Cherry,
You can now check in the Seaport Manager by opening a ship and then click on the question mark for a container and then hover over an item for that container. That will tell you how much of each item the container is carrying at that time.

[mcdaddie]

I am thinking there still might be a problem with showing the total amount of stored items if that number reaches 100 million. According to the release notes they had to increase the size of the field in the database that stores the numbers. When I went to check that, I had one item at 101,599,880. I then hit store all in the Facility manager. Did not hit any other buttons. I then had 103,xxx,xxx million. My neighbor showed me a picture of his last 3 items in storage and all three were exactly 100,000,000. So I completely reloaded my FT game and came back and my 103 (and change) million was now reporting 100 million. I then cleared memcache, and still 100 million exactly. If I hit store manually on just one facility, it will then add the 18,000 to the 100 mil. I wish I had better data to relate to the devs, but I am pretty certain that there is still a problem with displaying correct numbers over 100 mil. Hopefully I didn't lose a few million items when mine went backwards to 100 mil. Also the chances of my friend having 3 items at exactly 100 mil are astronomical.

Hi Mcdaddie,
100 million is the maximum you can have for any item in your storage. As you have noted those items that you go over the 100 million get dropped back to 100 million. Yes you did lose those items that went over 100 million, because the game is not designed to hold over that amount.
The more items you have at 100 million can also cause you to be hitting the maximum total amount for all of the Harvest and Products storage. That can cause you to lose other things such as a harevest not getting added or something disappearing from the storage.

This I thought was what the Dev's fixed according to Raul's statement in the last update yesterday. "Raul--- - The amount of items supported in the game was reaching a limit, we completed a few changes in order to extend that limit, please report any weird behavior that you may find."

Hi Mcdaddie,
No that had nothing to do with your storage limits. That was about the number of different items (trees, crops, products, etc.) that the game could have. Each item that is in the game has to have a code name that matches to the graphic or graphics to be shown. They initially started out with a 2 place code, then went to a 3 place code, and on up.

I am sorry if this has been covered, I have been away for awhile and just started playing and have noticed the ships is a new thing. Is there any notification that goes out to farm owner when a ship is in their port? Doesn't appear to be I have had to send Facebook messages to people that my ship is in their port, don't feel I should have to do that. I had a couple in my port and just happen to notice they were there when checking on the status of my ship. Maybe we get a notification like we do for the trains?

Hi Docperk,
You get a notification when a ship is in your port by a red number in a circle over your toolbox icon. The number indicates how many ships are in your port. You will only see this though if you open your farm.
You do get a notification pop up message in your farms when a container has completed its preparation for the ship you are preparing for dispatch.
There isn't any outside notification for trains or ships that tell you one is there (or in the case of the trains one is in your My Requests). For the trains you have to check the My Requests to see that a train is there. The same with the ships in that you have to open your farms to see if there is a ship in your port.
There is a chapter in the Game Guide with all the information we have about the ships. Here is a link to that:

When I reload my farm the ships that I unchecked show up again, in the ship tab of the seaport manager, even though the eye is closed and I have to uncheck them again. Is this how it's supposed to work?

[Susan Canning]

I and several other people I know keep getting a message to upgrade flashplayer. I have changed my setting to allow flashplayer to run always and I have upgraded the flashplayer manually. Still no improvement, the only thing that works is cleaning mencache several times a day.

I don't see any difference in the sizes, but that doesn't mean they weren't reduced. As long as you can see them and be able to click on the one you want then I don't see that it makes a difference.

I was preparing containers. I either had all of them completed or needed one more done. I'm pretty sure I still had plenty of time to send out my ship. When I got back I found out I had to restart the preparation. This has happened before. Please tell me why. In addition when I arrived on the farm the message box states: that the Animal Animal Cargo Container in the Pink ship completed its preparation cycle. I go to send out the ship and I can't It wants me to start preparing again.

Hi imgowan,
The only way that would happen is if you went past the maximum of 24 hours to prepare. According to your data you started preparing yesterday at 10:40 AM EST, so today at 10:40 AM EST would be 24 hours and that has past.
