Hi honeybear

According to your data you have 101 neighbors, so maybe you should change some of the ones in your itinerary for others who are doing ships.

Those changes can only be done while you are preparing your ship. You can change up to 10 ports.
You have all the information in the following link from our Game guide for Ships:
http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthr...26#post6135726

If you need new neighbors doing ships, please visit the following thread where farmers post asking for neighbors:
http://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=391198

Just take in mind that you could be at your neighbors limit, so maybe you will need to delete some of them to be able to add new ones. You can click in your My Neighbors tab and sort players "by Activity", uncheck "Active players only" option, to see when it was the last time they played the game.

All of my ships are empty, today 3/20/2022. I am on my last ship for the week to load and send out and I find it empty. I check all the other ships, same thing. I have lost all the products from 7 ships now and my "saved" list of ports I send my ships to, is not there. Please help, thank you.

Hi FRANKLHOLDER,

The ships that came back empty, did you check the itinerary before dispatching them to make sure none of the ports were empty or any were showing up with a pink background?
If you lost any neighbours that were on your original itinerary then those automatically get removed from your ports so you would have to pick other farmers to use when that happens.
Did you check to see if any of those ships had got stuck at any port before you unloaded them or check to see if any returned earlier than they should have?

If you unloaded them before reusing the ships itinerary on todays ship then you will have to reorder the itinerary you have now if it's not in the right order for when your neighbours play.
If you know some farmers are less likely to be doing them often try swapping some for ones that you know will. You can use the replace up to 10 times.
The itinerary you have now will be famers that have their ports open and have played most recently, looking back over the last week. If you need to, you might get a better idea of when they are likely to be playing if you look in wall requests and see when they last posted their facilities and see if any of those friends are neighbours that you could use.

Try clearing your FT memcache to make sure nothing in your farm data could be causing a problem. To do that Click Here. A window will open with a list of "unsetting", that is the memcache being cleared. Close that window and FT if you have it open in another window. Then reload and that's it done.

Check the computer time and date are also still showing up correct and make sure you are keeping up with any browser updates and clear the caches if you have not done so for a while.

Can I own more than one set of ships?

Hi kathleenkelly

No. You can only have 1 ship of every color.

Thank you!

5 of my neighbors do not send ships out or load neighbors ships, they are good neighbors who work my farms and facilities, as I do theirs, but If I could remove them from my list of ships I would no longer need to go and send those ships on myself and lose items. There must be a way to delete them completely from the list of neighbors doing ships. ???? Thank you for any explanation that may help me with this issue.

Hi LizaLee,
I moved your post to the Help & Support thread for the cargo ships.

The only way for them to removed from your list is for them to go to their preferences (wrench) and uncheck the box for "Enble ships". You can remove them from the list.
You can find all the information about setting up your neighbors ports in the Game Guide chapter 32 about the ships:

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before. Guide says ships return to home port 7 days after start of prep time. Understandably, this changed by an hour with the inception of daylight savings time. However, I'm finding that ships with beginning prep time of 10:00 pm DST are now not returning to home port till at least an hour after start of prep 7 days ago. Thursday ship used to return home at 10:00 pm is now not back at home port till 11:15. I'm meticulous about unloading and starting prep as soon as possible. Please help!!

Hi SusieB,
Do your ships not get through all 30 ports? The 7 days is only the maximum time, but if your neighbors are quick they can be back in much shorter time, so I am not sure how you can determine when a ship will actually return as they should not be taking the 7 days as long as you have neighbors who are working them.
I am not sure that the prep time is affected by DST as I don't have any way to test this. We only see the current prep time for each of your ships and not the past one so there isn't any way to check this for you.
