We need to be able to have more neighbors. I have a lot of empty spaces but it will not let me fill those spaces.

Hi Gabbysmama

The Neighbors limit is based on how many digits the database can hold, it varies because not all IDs are the same length. ID's are normally 8 to 15 characters in length, so the number of neighbours you can have can vary from 80 to around 110, depending on the ID's.

At the present time, it is a limitation of the game, and can't be increased.

Hi Farmgalpatti,
You are getting those because the person sending them is your neighbor, but they are playing more than one account and using the switch user function in Facebook. Facebook made some changes to that function that is causing the wrong information to be sent for those train and ship requests.

For the trains do not boost them through the train manager. Instead go to the My Requests and boost those from there as they will have the correct information in that.
For the ships you will have to load them in the ship manager as those can't be done in the My Requests.

As I'm looking the list of my neighbors...I see this message....Your neighbour list is full. Please remove some neighbours before you add more.

I fail to see the value of removing a neighbor just to add another. I have under the impression that the more friends and neighbors you have the better preference for gaining xp's and coins.

Now that I'm restricted from adding neighbors, is there something I need to do so can add more neighbors.

Thank you,

Keith

Hi Deluxxe

I moved your post to the tread about Neighbors.

The neighbors limit is based on how many digits the database can hold, it varies because not all IDs are the same length. ID's are normally 8 to 15 characters in length, so the number of neighbours you can have can vary from 80 to around 110, depending on the ID's. At the present time, it is a limitation of the game, and can't be increased.

When you receive that message you cant add more neighbors without removing some first.

What you can do, is see if any of your current neighbours have stopped playing. If they, have you can decide whether or not to replace them with someone who is currently active in the game.

Look in the your My Neighbours tab and use the following filter option:

Sort Players By: "Activity" and remove the check mark for "Show Active Players Only"

Then look at the dates showing in each of your friends boxes with a blue background, to see if anyone has not played in a while that you can remove as a neighbour to add someone else.

Hi Larwin

No, you cant.

Neighbors have to be your friends in Facebook first and you can interact with them in several game features.

Buddies are only contacts in the game.

my friends get mad at me for advertising i need neighbors or they dont say anything at all to me. think everyone on my contacts just ignores me now if i post about the game. why can't i add neighbors within farm town. its backward. i understand i need get players outside the game to play. and a lot of people like me don't have social friends and game friends at same time. seems i should be able ask people from within the game to be my neighbor since we both play the game rather than try to get people that aren't even gamers to play the game. i had to go share my personal facebook page with people outside the game to add them as neighbors so much i had to block my contact list from being seen by even people i know. i like that facebook cared enough to allow us to not share our contacts. but to me it seems the game is backward and i should be allowed to add neighbor 'inside' the game not 'outside' the game.
