OFFICIAL Facility Chains

[EddyBear]

In the last few weeks I've added two Facility Chains to My Chains. When I look at my list of facilities they don't have a blue background and aren't included with the filter selection of "part of a chain".

It has me wondering if my chain partners can even see me on their import/export lists.

Thanks,

Hi EddyBear,

I have moved your post to the thread about the Facility Chains.

Which Chains are you having a problem with?

The last 2 chains you have added recently are:

Flavored Coffee Factory added today
FarmTown Janitorial Services on the 7th November.
Both of those have reached chain status and should be showing a blue background in the Facility Manager.

The only chain we can see that would not have a blue background yet, would be the Office-School Supply Factory which you added back in February. That chain hasn't reached chain status yet.

I was considering doing a redesign of facilities to different farms. I have several chains set up. If I move a chain facility (such as facility currently on 4 and part of an active chain) to farm 20, do I lose the chain? Or would it pop back up and understand the new farm once I add the facility on F20?

Since the chains take so long to build up, I'd hate to lose all the ones I have just by doing a redesign.

In case it makes more sense writing in this way: Chain set up with airline supplies farms 1 and 2. I want to move the airline supplies facility to farms 40 and 41.
When I remove the airline supplies from farms 1 and 2, do I lose the chain altogether?

Also, I am assuming that I need to buy the airline supplies to place on Farms 40 and 41 before I delete the facilities on Farms 1 and 2?

Thank you for any insights!

Hi smilie

The only way you can lose a facility chain is if you delete that chain.

Just remember to send products to your storage, and then you can send the facilities to your storage and then place them in their new farms.

Ok, thank you! That is quite a relief

You are welcome smilie

Just remember that if you have more than 2 facilities of the same type, then only the first 2 facilities will be part of the chain, based on the farm order where they are located at any given time.

You will need to reload the game to see the changes in the Facility Manger.

And also, be sure you are not moving any of the facilities for this NCC week just by mistake or you will abandon the NCC.
