depends which one you buy and how many containers you want to prepare, you can send the ship out with just one container or 10 containers, so if you are short on time, maybe just send out the ones you can prepare in the time you have available.. we will know more as we progress and hopefully everyone who gets a ship docked at their farm will help us by stocking it with the goods,

I did buy all the 7 ships, and they all contain he exact same containers. For my needs, only 7 or so of the containers will help. (don't really need more animal stuff or fruits and crops).

So to start, I will just fill the containers I can during the day (start early), and send the ship out at night.... then start #2 the following day etc. At my age, I don't need/want the stress of be required to fill all 10, nor the stress of waiting over 24 hours and having to start over.

The proper/pirate response to that = gggrrrrrrrrr

for its first voyage on the high seas, I decided to send out the Yellow Ship with all the 10 containers, but once its back in a week... hopefully, fingers crossed.. will then decide if it needs to go again, 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!

Wow! Amazing how we all need different things. I filled my animal products container FIRST because I'm always running out of those even though I have all of the non-FC animal barns on all 31 farms and maxed out with animals. I did the fish one second, and then the fruits and crops 3rd. When we get Farm 32, I've already decided that I'm going to shell out FC for some of the super barns. 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....

Amazing!!! I can't figure out why there are SUCH big differences in what we need. I've filled 4 containers so far in this order: Animal Products, Fish, Crops, Textiles. Those are my big 4 to run short on - textiles really only because of needing more wool for those products (so again, not enough animal products). Will probably do Liquids next although I really don't run out of those - or of any of the others. But for now, I think it's a fun challenge to see if I can get all 10 containers filled each day and my work schedule is such that it should be doable most days.

But yeah - that's my strategy - fill as many as I can each day, send the ship out before I go to bed. If I do one each day, I should have one to fill and one will come back each day. I LOVE it!
