If a neighbour has decided not to do ships, they are unlikely to go into the ships tool and load your ship.

Problem

In order to visit 30 neighbours, you have to get through 5 neighbours per day. There is no notification that a ship is coming into port so you can load it and send it on it's way.

Question

Where does the stock come from? When the neighbour loads the ship, are the goods coming from that neighbour's stock?

Hi NooNoo,

I have moved your post into the New Release thread where the developers can see your feedback.

I can answer only 2 points for you.
The only way a neighbour will know if there is a ship to be loaded is if the load the game. Then there should be a red number on the Tool Box and the Seaport Manager indicating something needs doing.

The products come from the mayor not anyone's storage.

recommend sending them a message both in fb chat and in ft messages that way when they log onto fb they will get the message, or get it on their cellphone if they have the messages ap

If they get it on their cellphone, they can't load FT anyway.

Just dispatched my first ship. I didn't recognize the name of the first port it was sent to and when I went to my Neighbors tab, did a Control+F and entered that name, it's not in my list of neighbors. Then I visually scanned my neighbor list, in case the person had recently changed their name and/or icon. I finally found a neighbor with the same icon but a different name so I guess that's the one. Looks like she had changed her name to work in the Marketplace and the Ship's Logbook is using that name. Even now that I know who it is, it's not someone I've ever known to work my farms - hope she starts now. I actually didn't even recognize the person. Wouldn't have known she was a neighbor. If she doesn't work my ship, will it come home empty in 7 days? I think we're going to need a little bit of a reward just for working so hard to fill the ship - even if a ship gets stuck at Port #1 and isn't worked at all.

I also have another suggestion - can we have a hover state for each of the icon photos in the Ship's Logbook that show's the person's actual name? That way, we've got more than one way to figure out who it is.

LOL I will need a coast guard to keep track of all these ships ....
btw I am on nearly all day everyday as i am disabled and this is my way to keep myself occupied.. my neighbor list is full right now but if you need a neighbor feel free to add me.

You can with the Puffin browser. I loaded several containers on my iPhone while I was out running errands today. Can't say it was EASY but the tip to put the ship in the Toolbox at the bottom may help.

How did you do that? I see how to add the Seaport Manager but not our actual ship that we're trying to fill. Is there a way to do that?

And add to that the possibility that a neighbor takes a break from FT for a few days for one reason or another (they go on vacation, their computer is in the shop, etc.). I will not nag my neighbors, nor will I be happy if neighbor nagging becomes a regular part of FT.

Thanks for the tip! I was not aware of that. Tried it and it works great!
