please consider adding crawfish and crab containers to the boats or trains it would be amazing I seem to always run out even with 2 fish farming factories (im saving up for the turbo)

[Imaoldhippie2]

It would be great if the train manager would default to boost others trains. thanks for listening.

[janelouise]

can you add soy sauce to one of the train container cars? I never have enough.

[Denise Dianna]

I wish there was a "boost all" button for trains like there is for ships. I get a lot of boost requests.

[Karlene]

Hi.

My suggestion has to do with the Unavailable Status. After I have selected the ports for my ships to visit and dispatched them, I will have neighbors select the unavailable status. When my ship gets to their port it just sits there waiting. Would it be possible for the game to automatically skip that port like it does when someone disables their ports?

Thank you for your attention.

[MOM GLENDA]

please let us have a load all for boosting trains it hurts my fingers to do a lot of them one at a time.i have arthritis my fingers are criplied .it can cost cash please do this for me

[JamieSwafford8]

Thank you for letting us have three more trains!

Please consider adding the following to these LONG Cars:

ONE DOOR BOXCAR - PAPRICKA
REFRIGERATOR CAR - CLAM CONTAINER
QUARRY CAR - MORE TIN
BULKHEAD CAR - MORE CARBON STEEL
TWO DOOR BOXCAR - MORE BLACK PIGMENT
TANK CAR - MORE BLACK INK

Now that the Train menu will remember what the last choice was, I'm hoping that the ship logbook will get the choice as to remembering the last list that was used automatically instead of the random people and then choosing the last list that was used. It would really be helpful in case we forget to change it. I hope I'm using the correct terms since I can't access the list now. Thank you.

[janelouise]

Please add soy sauce to either the trains or ships. Thank you.

[GrammieRee]

Please set up the trains like the ships for those of us who don't have the "one click for all". Ships can be sent on much faster and easier since the ship disappears instantly when you click on it and another moves into that spot.

[Mrs Borgies]

It would be fantastic if we could load each of our ships with a single click. This feature would save a lot of time for many players, especially those of us who have to close our ports frequently because we’re short on time. It would greatly enhance the gameplay experience for everyone! Thank you for considering this. :)

It would be nice to have a new train car to supply some of the ingredients we always run out of like yeast, clam container, etc

[JAXDAW]

How about auto train cars that deliver cars (variety - like a facility) to the dealership for sale. You could also have a car manufacturing plant - load the auto train - deliver to dealership for sale. Could incorporate ships as well for international delivery...

[RIAP27]

For SHIP Itinerary. It would be BETTER if the Itinerary we set for our Ports becomes the default, so we don't have to reset our itinerary for every ship every day. In other words, we select our itinerary, send it out, and that becomes the itinerary for the ships until we go in and change it replacing ports. And I'd LOVE a tool like the Train Boost that does them all at once for the day.

[closerfan]

How about adding motion to the trains?

[AnnieGreenThumb]

I have several of my neighbors who seem to be regular players, but always seem to forget to boost my trains. We can now mark ourselves as unavailable, and those I don't send my trains to. Can we get a way where I can mark my neighbors like that, good only for me and until I remove it? Maybe a red flag on their little window or some such. Just a suggestion. I've tried making a list, but that's kind of clunky.

[Rick44230]

Now that we have camel milk it would be nice if the Long Animal Products Car would carry camel milk also.

[thebrat01]

I would like for you to add Clams and Crawfish to the trains and boats.

[drr30]

not sure if this should be in the train section but here i go. Create a train that can go to your neighbors farms and deliver products from your farm to theirs and vise a versa. You should be able to load the car from your stored inventory. A perfect example I have a farm where i have over 5000 cows stored my neighbor needs cows and there currently no way to sell or give him some of mine.

[Karin Venables]

Please add Crawfish and Clams to the trains and ships. I can't supply one restaurant that uses these products with multiple fish farms. It's been a chronic problem since these ingredients were introduced years ago.

[badcompany_78]

hello!

I would love to see Semi truck Meats available on ships containers and train car.
I own 7 semi-trucks and one turbo and I still am short all the time =)

thanks!:D

[Mosfun]

I've currently got 4 ships stuck on the last port. She's not participating I suppose. I had a great list of ports but that got botched up without me realizing it and now I'm stuck.

Can you make a fix for the last port,or a return home button in general? Would help with farm pass when we need to send a certain ship out. Thanks! Love the game.

I think that you need to increase what ships and trains hold including yeast, clams and kelcar fiber ( all the above are produced in non workable facilities and would help all farmers

[Dave mckee]

hi! Have no use for ships, but could use a fourth set of trains. Would like to share more train loot with my new buddies/neighbors. A 4th set generates lots more farm cash use for you... win/win

hmmm 5 sets??

[drr30]

Would love to see a new car added that would allow you to select what gets sent. For me it would be tuna but for other farmers it could be something else. Since this car is unique it could go for 50 fc as long at the quantity is large like in my case tuna at 1000 or 2000 would be fair.

[tammyjo408]

please let ships be like trains, let the person online, send the ship off no matter where they are in the log. this way ships don't get stuck by those who have their port open but don't send the ship out or get online earlier. I check daily before sending out ship to try to line up the players, but it doesn't work most of the time.

[Denise Dianna]

Pleease add camel milk to the animal products train car.

[bbarksda]

Suggestion: Double train output with 6 or more trains w/ 10 or more cars.

[bbarksda]

Good Morning,

Add Caboose to trains to double or increase it's output, for the individual train.

Thanks for your consideration

[Laura CJ]

Please consider adding Clams to the Fish and Shellfish containers, and Soy Sauce to the food containers for the ships. Same for the Long Refrigerated car and Long Well car for the trains. I am always out of these two ingredients. Thanks!

[rodkay1@bigpond.com]

It is hard to get people doing ships as they find it hard to be on more than once a day, so do not do ships...however I feel that if SN can help them load and unload ships, like trains, then more people would do ships.... thank you

[RIAP27]

On the Ship Itinerary, make "Use same itinerary" as default! Then if we want to change it we can click and make it the random it defaults to now. I dislike when I forget to click reuse last itinerary" and don't notice right away and cannot change it. I hope you'll consider this change.

[thebrat01]

I think that you need to increase what ships hold including yeast, clams and kevlar fiber ( all the above are produced in non workable facilities and would help all farmers)

There has to be a way to get more and this would be a great way to do so

[poof3013]

Please consider turning off ports of farmers not participating in ships.
Thank you

[RIAP27]

ANOTHER SUGGESTION ON SHIPS ARE HORSES. TAKE THEM OUT as cargo. TO USE THEM YOU NEED STABLES AND THERE ARE no COIN STABLES TO PLACE THEM IN. Sorry for the caps.
