I have dispatched my first ship (the yellow one). Now to see if my neighbours decide to participate. It was fun to do it though.

OMG - I'm SURE my last container has said less than one minute for about 30 minutes now! I mean . . . how many times can I possibly refresh in less than one minute?!?!?

Just kidding, of course . . . things are working beautifully so far.

also just had my first ship dock from a neighbor and loaded it for her, looking forward to seeing more arrive soon!!

How did you know a ship had docked? I'm dying to get some!

Just found the Seaport Manager Tool so I just answered my own question. Would be nice to be notified on our regular screen without having to go look. I think having to go look to see if there's a ship at your port is going to greatly DECREASE neighbor participation which is going to be directly proportional to the amount of INCREASED frustration with the ships. Maybe that's already been done - I don't have any ships in my port yet (SOB!) so I don't know.

The pink highlights for the current container being loaded on the cargo ship is certainly very useful. Kudos to Raul and the team for making it so without our needing to ask for it!

will there be a time limit that a ship will stay at a neighboring port? if a regular player goes on vacation for weeks, will i have to wait at that port for those 2 weeks for the neighbor to come back and work the ship for it to go on to the next port? And i can also see me wanting a special farm for a port not for crops, just for the ships, mine and other players...i have an image of seagulls, rats and pirates...docks, stuff like that

Hi ajjeni,
Your ship will return to you in 7 days with however many goods are loaded. So if it gets stuck at a neighbor's port then it won't stay 2 weeks there, but will return to you in 7 days at the most.

Appears that today , not sure if it is connected, but since I purchased a cargo ship I am now not able to post my facilities or clients either from the facility manager or direct from a farm. Yes I have reloaded , cleared memcache , any suggestions please

However, I didn't run out of animal products until I bought duplicates of all of the non-FC facilities - so that's what pushed me over the limit.

For me, it's not stressful to think of "having" to fill all 10 - it's a challenge. I'm having a great time so far! Fits all my little OCD needs very nicely.

Interesting post.... For me it is the complete opposite... I will focus on three containers - Metal Sheets / Ore, Rocks & Minerals and / Liquid Factory Ingredients. From there I will just add more if I have time. Key will be to start in morning - add containers as I can throughout the day - and make sure I ship it out in the evening..... If I do this every day, will always be a ship being loaded... and 6 at sea all the time. I look at the content from these as a bonus, so will take what I can - not like I lose anything by using them...

I am guessing the next months will see tools to speed up the loading / shipping process.... Maybe super ships and the like....
