    All the tasks for Oleg needs to be completed before the dock will unlock for you.  (These are the tasks that he started giving us when he first came to our farms).

    Two of the Oleg tasks do not relate directly to fishing, one asks you to collect milk and one asks you to collect wheat, so check for those kinds of tasks, too.

    They should now appear in the topmost position on your left hand task side bar, so it should be easier to spot (remember to also check the main farm and gourmet farm task bars not just the flower farm one)

    And then the very last task for Oleg is called:  "Patience is silver but hooks are golden"


    When you see that one, you'll know you're close.

    Good luck 


    Okay thanks , did not know I had to do quests for him, much appreciated.

    I'm now having trouble with storage on the dockyard screen and it won't let me unload my boats, How can we expand the storage or indeed unload the boats so it goes straight to the HWE?

    If you look at the Mod News Bulletin
    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/comment/3530605/#Comment_3530605
    there is some way to help fix that problem of storage
    If you get any pop-ups when you try to harvest, such as your barn is too small or you need to sell excess items, various things are working to get rid of these errors:
    • Switch to another farm & come back
    • Sell some chicken feed (or the item the pop-up tells you to sell some of)
    • Relog
    One of those should resolve the issue until we can get a fix run.

  • Greetings, fellow farmers.

    I could use some help. I am attempting to complete the fishing tasks, and am currently on the Bass screen. I have purchased Bass bait, and need to use it. My problem is that when I scroll on the question mark, I am instructed to " open the inventory dialog on the left, hover over it and click on it.

    Here's my dilemma. I have no idea what the inventory dialog is, on the left or otherwise. Could someone please tell me where I could locate it.

    Thanks in advance.
  • I'm unable to use the dockyard beyond visiting for the scenery. :/  My current level is 106, fishing level is 40.

    The building has no interactive menu items other than the general info button.  I can't buy any boats, etc.

    Is this like the village where GGS gave us a teasing preview for months before actually activating the feature?

    It seems that after they "fixed" the "harvest ready" toolbar it's Flower Farm bar which is not working properly now.

    How am I suppose to compete in the HWE if I have no Tuna or Herring, if the resources regenerate every 24h GGS should ensure that you always get a mix of all resources

    By the way what is the point of having a limit on the amount you can harvest in 24h so in the HWE if I am efficient and I only have one location for clams for instant  what happens if I collect all clams must I skip all clam requests for the next 24 hours if so this is going to anger a lot of people. 
    @DoctorX (INT1) Whenever you catch all the fish in one location, that one will vanish & a new one will open & any that sit for 24 hours will reset, but the new ones are random so there is no guarantee which fish will be there.

    There is no denying that this HWE is far more of a challenge, but everyone is in the same boat, so to speak, we just have to make the best of it & hopefully it can be improved for next time. :)
    that's not strictly true tbh - and following your turn of phrase, some of us were without a boat (and other items) at all, while others were given a significant advantage by receiving a trawler to start the event off with (i believe that was the boat emailed out), the best boat in the game

    i fail to see an even playing field in that move, i dont begrudge those who received the email their goodies, i just dont understand the thinking behind the approach GGS used in this

    if GGS did a shooter multiplayer i presume a load of us would turn up with our fists raised in the vain hope of landing a punch while the dudes handed BFGs mowed us down :D

    I am trying to upgrade my dockyard to a level 3, it tells me it is not available until level 40....level 40 of what? Because on the fishing I am already a level 40.  Please explain this, or is it a bug!
  • Wons (AU1)Wons (AU1) AU1 Posts: 223
    I know that this has probably been said 50 million times already but...I'm doing the FHW event and it's asking for tuna. The problem with that is there are no tuna in the ocean. I currently have 2 Lobster ponds, 3 cod, salmon & swordfish and 1 clams, oyster & shrimp. But no Tuna.
    I don't think the timing is in sinc with the event at all.

    Same fishing level here and can't upgrade or interact with mine at all other than as previously mentioned.
  • SophiaLorraine,     NOTHING on my whole fishing thing is clickable.  The building only has a little i for info button.  NO build, no upgrade, no nothing.

    Now the hard worker showed up there too.  AND on my main farm.  He's asking for stuff I don't know how to find.   If I click the show me arrow, it does NOTHING.    

    Bugs?   Probably.  GoodGame can't roll out ANYTHING that doesn't start right out broken.  OR broken for some and not others which seems to be the case.

    Unless oleg has to be at a certain level.  (AND WHERE IN THE GAME DOES IT SAY THAT?)

    In which case this whole thing goes UNDER My ignore it list.   TO this day I don't know how to use the boats that show up on his dock.   So if that's required to level him up, I simply can't.   Nothing I click on actually uses the boat.  Just upgrades it.   Makes no sense to me at all and I'm not big on frustrating endless circular dumb things.   Especially for a game I go play when I want something relaxing to do.

    Hey Artmaker - I hear you on everything you're saying... there were several in my coop who had the same thing... GGS is FAMOUS for starting things without PROPER instruction on how things are supposed to work.... after many times going back and forth to the description of this new event, I finally realized that YOU CANNOT START THE DEEPSEA FISHING EVENT UNTIL YOU'VE FINISHED ALL OF THE OLEG FISHING SIDE TASKS ON THE FLOWER FARM. At that point, the DeepSea Fishing stuff will allow you to start it.... IF you have gotten Oleg up to level 20 fishing XP.... Hope this helps you.....

    Taken from Official announcements regarding fishing locations:

    6 VISIBLE fishing locations, 13 different location in total.

    In each location, there's a LIMITED amount of fish you can catch - When all the fish are caught from one location, it will VANISH & spawn a NEW fishing location.

    The fishing locations have a LIFETIME of 24 hours. When the 24h are over, it will vanish and spawn a NEW fishing location. If a boat is fishing during the reset, the fishing location will vanish as soon as no boat is at this location anymore.

    Hope this helps (^_^)

    Well to be a stickler for someone's words but I have to say that we're not all in the same boat. Not all of us got the email that has this super awesome boat. I'm with those clinging to wreckage in the sea that didn't get a cool boat and wondering why no one has addressed any of our questions. Will we get an email at all with the same rewards? I'd really like to learn about this feature but it's really frustrating right now. There's just too much going on in this game. I've played since 2013 and it's out of hand. I really can't enjoy the game when it is constantly throwing things like this, the village, the fishing etc.

    This was in Mod News:

    "To know how many fish you have caught
    , you need to hover over the location (before you send your boat there) & make a note of how many fish there are. Then check again when your boat is at the location. The difference will be how many fish are now on that boat."




    -----This is not a workaround, because you often have multiple boats, so you don't know how many are on which boat.
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    On the ring menu for the dockyard, we need a button for the most recent thing, so we can make the most recent thing without opening the menu, just like we have for the flower shop or bakery.
  • Kamilcom (GB1)Kamilcom (GB1) Posts: 1,499
    On the bright side ...... oh sorry, on the bug side we have this "cannot harvest" "barn full" etc. anouncements reintroduced again. I think somebody mentioned it already for fleet fish, but it wonderfully worked for barley as well whenever one of your feed is full. :) The amount of extra work to get around all the bugs, poor concepts etc. in this game is growing to the point that actual game playing is activity demanding the least amount of time. While player retention is low, bug retention seems to be the industry high. .) More and more frequently I'm asking why to continue playing? Just a few days ago I closed down my Village testing getting annoyed by mirriads of bugs and no obvious clear concept of that feature. Now I'm about to do the same with Fleet due to bugs. Game should be fun, but this one is not. Not everyone is a dedicated player willing to volunteer as fulltime beta version tester. Average player doesn't even have energy to deal with all these poorly designed and poorly coded features with loose ends, meaningless investments, non-transparent economic data etc. Add poor response and feedback to many comments players make pointing to problems and trying to make the game playable and it spells CATASTROPHY. Ultimatelly it's GGS who is on loosing end. Who's gonna pay for broken product? Rant off, going to enjoy sunshine. :)

    This game is getting much harder to play with only the one construction slot, can we please have total 3 slots,

    1 for all 3 permanent farms

    1 for island or temp farm

    1 for fish

    It would be great to upgrade 3 building at same 


    I like this idea and think its well overdue although @Kotresh.j (IN1)  that's how they get people to spend gold .. to speed up the construction, so I'm kind of picking that wont happen :(
    Same with me too. Even you got the second slot for the temporary farm in exchange of gold, it'll be expired once the temporary farm event ends

    -----This is not a workaround, because you often have multiple boats, so you don't know how many are on which boat.
    Hey Gavin,  this is the way I'm tracking it right now:


    of course it is not optimal, but it works well for me for HWE. I name all my boats depending on which one i bought and then put the fish that I selected. For the amount of fish, I usually check the before amount (in the fishing spot) and the after amount. However, this doesn't count for the lost fish from damage.

    To address your earlier point about GMLs, I too am disappointed that there are not three GML's because I always get them during the HW event. However, I'm pretty happy content that this HW is so incredibly easy. I don't know if the developers intended this... Currently I'm running 9 hours at 9 points a second. I got over 1 million points from just one product. The other HW involves quite a bit of work and activity.

    Another thing I am confused about is the rewards. As usual, it seems like the 6-50 prize is better than the other prizes, and you are especially screwed over if you land in 3-5 (i'm sitting at rank 3 now).

    @mia111 (GB1) You are correct, I rechecked the Official Announcement & it actually says that there are 8 different location "distances". There are in fact, 13 different locations & there should be 6 visible at any one time. Apologies for the confusion.

    @WascallyWabbit
    Thank you for the explanation. 

    I agree with others and I say it one more time that it is extremely annoying and unfair towards the HW that not all fishes are available at all times. Please, change this. Thank you.

    Edit: Thank you for passing the feedback about what the boats contain before harvesting. Something similar to what Oleg has should suffice (fish symbol and amount) and it should be possible as I have seen a maximum of 3 fishes per fishing spot while Oleg can have up to 5.

    Also what is the point of naming the boats? When sending the boats fishing the name it is not shown so there is no way to tell what boat you're sending.

    The bottom line is that the fleet is a blunt tool to be the source of a HWE

    1. There's no simple way to see what your boat has caught (this HAS to be addresssed)

    2. Even if you go to the trouble of noting each boat's catch, you cannot be 100% accurate as you won't know of any penalites until you offload the catch

    3. Which all means, you cannot confidently fine tune your harvesting so you run at the levels you want to - eg I'm running at level 9 but will that next catch give me more hours at 9 or push me over to level 10 and mess up my whole plan - in short, there's an element of of guess work

    In a normal HW you know exactly what you're getting and the result it will have, that's simply not the case here

    @LSB_TTs regarding how easy it is compared to the normal HW - i think the correct reply to your thinking on this is yes and no :D

    yes, if you get the right harvest, it runs at very levels for up to 1 day+ (that's the most i've seen anyway)

    however, if you get fish that aren't available, you're at sea without a boat - ie, i havent seen a clam/oyster/shrimp for over a day - if those were my three next 'crops', i'd be throwing gold hand over fist to move it on without even knowing if they'll repeat or not, in theory it could loop continually and you'd never get to throw a net or rod at anything (and we know from experience that repeating 'crops' are common in HW)

    I totally agree with you on the final prizes tho, pretty lacklustre, you'd think at the very least the top prize would include a max level trawler (if they're gonna stay on theme)

    I am supposed to do swordfish for the HWE next but none of my fishing holes have swordfish. In the case of HWE, perhaps an exception could be made in the way fish are generated, to make sure that what the HWE is asking for is always there.

    When I equip boat with travel speed and for example gain 19 minutes faster, does it make faster in one direction 19 and in another again 19?

    Three proposal.

    1. When you click on bout which is already on one of places, it say traveling or fishing. It would be cool to see is he traveling to place or he is traveling back.
    2.On pictures there is no information for for what boat is best that equipment, every time you have to click on info button to check it.
    3.And most important, to see what boat collected when they arrive.

    I gotta say, there are certain things (mostly mentioned by other players here already too) that I not like about Fishing farm, but in total I still think it's a great addition to the game, and anyone who doesn't understand why I'm saying this, must learn fishing very soon then they understand, it's a hellot of profit and makes upgrading lester stash or laboratories and such super expensive buildings, not a dream (in long term at least) anymore.
    I can't imagine how much dollars I can honestly even make after I have fully upgraded good boats/ships.

    so a bit angry of all the bugs and lag, but still thanks for this addition to the game GGE. :smile:
  • Hello Moderators,

    I did a spreadsheet on chums selling price but I found an error on profits calculations, I dont know if this was intended or not but selling profits should have no negative number
