Hi demetri

Maybe the last neighbors in the lists loaded your ships fast and they went back home almost at the same time.

All of them visited 30 ports so dont thing there was a problem there.

I do not have trouble with trains as much as ships. How do you handle the time worked? It certainly is not accurate.

Hi Joyinlife,
You can either wait for the pop up to tell you it is ready or you can time it out yourself. The timer for that usually shows a couple extra minutes longer but the pop up shows as long as you have not changed farms.

Can you please explain the overhead cranes. I have purchased all of them. I know you can use them to skip a port without losing any ingredients. When I use a crane is says I have for example 4 uses left. When I run out do I have to purchase the crane again? Thanks

Hi Vivienne57,

No you do not have to buy them again. When you dispatch a ship again, you will get to use the self load/skip again.

You can not self load or skip your last port if your ship got stuck there, so always put someone reliable on that last port.

Information on the overhead cranes is in this post in the game guide:

Hi, I am having the same issue with cranes and stupidly bought a second blue one today because the game didn't know I had it. I was asked the same thing with pink, and verified I already have it. Thank you.

Hi Patti Coop,
Each ship type has a different self load number of times that you can do so. Also they have a time amount that you have to wait between self loads.When you do a self load on one it will show you in the pop up how long you have to wait until the next time as well as tell you how many more times you can do so for that ship type.
You bought the second blue one with coins as with all farm cash tools you can by duplicates for coins.
If they are not working then take them out of your storage and place on a farm, then click save, then restart your farms and place them back in storage. That should clear any problems with them.

If you are seeing the mailbox or the spinning green disc this can cause the cranes to appear to be missing. All you need to do is restart your farms to clear that.
