But I launched yesterday's ship around 12:30 and the alert message on today's ship says I need 3 more hours, which would make it 1:30, not 12:30. This makes it difficult for those of us that would like to be able to launch our ship around the same time each day. I started at 7am - am now up to 1:30. Probably about an hour of that was that I was 1/2 hour late getting to my ship a couple of days - but the rest is some kind of time creeep from the program, I think.

Hi Susan,
Please note that the time is only given in hours and not hours and minutes. So it may appear that it is taking longer before you can prepare the next ship. For example, I started preparing a ship yesterday at 12:00. I checked the next ship for today at 9:50 and it said 3 more hours until I could start which would be 12:50, but I checked again at 10:01 and it now says 2 hours. That would be 12:00 which is right.

Ok, thanks. Maybe that's it.

I think the time starts from when you prepare your first container

Waiting impatiently for them to fix the ships or beach them. Getting tired of losing long time farmer friends and listening to constant furor! Farm Town is a great social game, the ships are destroying that very fabric.

I have been thinking about this post for a couple days. First I want to say hats off to the developers for keeping this game so much fun and giving us fun things to play with. This last release has been bit of a problem. I am not sure about the rest of you but what I found irritating about this release and a few of the last ones was when it came out there were no release notes at first. Also some of the stuff in the release was listed as coming next week. I am wondering instead of trying to give us a new release every month if they should not be maybe every 2 or 3 months. Also if you do go to something like that you should be able to have everything ready on the night you release it, we will not have to wait another week for something to be ready. In between the releases you can still put out bug fixes to fix things.

I would not want to wait 2 to 3 months. I enjoy my updates even if i have to wait for certain things.

Most games I play do a new release every week, so FT is already stretching it in doing only one a month. And I don't play any games that don't have a few bugs to work out once a release goes live, especially if it's a major change to the game.
