OFFICIAL Cargo Ships

[smilie224]

I do not have a problem, but I do have a question regarding ships... I'm going to be gone from the game for only 2 days. I have my account name indicating I will be gone on the specific dates to let people know.

If I close down my ports, does it automatically reset to the longest times (such as 45 mins) when I sign back on? OR does it go to the slightly shorter time as if I have only missed the two days (even though I had turned off the ports)?

I'm considering just going red so I don't lose all the times if it auto-resets, since I will also have my avatar name clearly stating I am away for two days (including the red that I will place on myself). But if it doesn't auto-reset, I'll probably turn off the ports so I don't mess people up.

Thoughts?

Hi smilie224,

Missing a couple of days will only reduce your time by 2 days worth. The shortest time is if you have dispatched 7 ships in 7 days, As you'll have done 5 days, your times will be about 13 to 18 minutes depending on the color of the ship. No point in closing your port for 2 days in my opinion, i would personally just mark myself as unavailable.

The following post shows you all the ship times

After I prepare my ship, I am unable to dispatch it - clicking on "dispatch ship" does not do anything. I am using the Microsoft Edge browser, but I also tried in on an Android phone platform, and couldn't get it to dispatch with that either.

Hi Ranchmom,
I moved your post to the thread about cargo ships.
From what I see your yellow ship that you prepared you took longer than 24 hours to prepare. If that is the case then you can't dispatch it.because it resets to not done. You only have 24 hours exactly to prepare your containers and dispatch the ship. When you go beyond the 24 hours then the ship is no longer loaded and you can't dispatch an empty ship.

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.

Hi RFMad

I have copied your post to the Ships thread in Help & Support to answer you but the original post is still in Suggestion Section.

When you ask for boosts you have 10 different lists to choose from.
What it is remembered is the name of the list, for example "Recently boosted by me" list. BUT, you need to click in every farmer in that list to send the boost requests.

For ships, clicking in Reuse Last Itinerary also gives you the last list you used and you do not have to click in every farmer to send a request.
BUT, it allows you to change some of them if you think they are not fast loading your ship, or change places if they are or are not on line or if you see their port is closed.

Hi. All of the containers on my yellow ship show that they are loaded and ready to ship. When I click to choose the list of helpers, it says it's not ready to ship. I clicked to dispatch the ship and it gave me the option to dispatch or not. I clicked to dispatch it. Not is has that's all the containers are loading.

This has happened several times during the last couple of months. What's going on and how can it be fixed?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Karlene,
From what I see in your account data your yellow ship has only been in preperation for 6 minutes from 2024-08-01 7:27 to 7:32 eastern time. There isn't any way it could be completed.

Yes, when I saw that it hadn't dispatched, I started it all over again.

Is there a reason why it would look like it had started loading, but it hadn't?
