I have no problem emptying all my facilities within 24 hours for two reasons:

1) I time my posting when most of my neighbors are on, i.e., early evening, and

2) (and this is the most important one) I don't rely on my neighbors seeing my post. I TELL them I have posted!!

It's a simple matter of composing a short message, such as "Facilities full on Farms 1, 4, 5, 6, & 7." Then before I send it to the first neighbor, I copy it (CTRL C) and for every subsequent neighbor, I click in the message box and paste (CTRL V). I also paste the same message in the chat box for everyone who is on chat. It probably takes me all of 5 minutes, Do your messaging from a farm that isn't being worked so the chat box isn't opening every minute.

I have neighbors (and I only post for my neighbors to see) lined up 3 and 4 deep. Within a few hours, 75% or more product is complete and I restock so later arrivals will have plenty to work with. If I'm willing to stay on line for a while after I post, I restock every half hour or so.

BTW, if you don't see many people in the MP, click on the map and go to the MP again. Often it will take you to one with a lot of people. I don't know why, but it may be related to the servers.
