    Southern, I do what you do and yes the fishing spot disappears....there was a bunch of swordfish and salmon in one of those...I fully loaded my boat to get as many of the swordfish as I could and knew I would still need to send another boat to get the rest, but the fishing spot disappeared and instead a lobster fishing spot appeared so I exchanged the gear to get the lobster (showed over 600 of them available to be caught). My boat could not hold 600 of them, but 3 or 4 boats would do nicely....the first boat I sent there made the lobster spot disappear and my hopes of getting more were dashed.   I hope GGS fixes this SOON!   OR....it could be GGS is testing our flexibility to change gear and get to the new fishing spot that opens up for a boat.
    Not saying it doesn't need fixing Cli, just saying that you shouldn't have to worry about the boats coming back empty. :)

    I have the same problem.  

    I am also having a problem with the show me with fishing. I used the show me for swordfish and it brings me to lobster. 

    What happen to testing stuff on the bata site to get bug out before you add more broken stuff to the game???

    Great so edge crops now back to not counting down and cost loads to clear. New building in village to cost us even more.   We had only just got the timber and textile high enough to build the boards needed to do jetty upgrades. Everything on there was filled waiting for the boards. Now there not and needs loads more goods. All this village is doing is costing my team time and effort with nothing in return. We didn't start boat as timing was out and impossible to do. We still haven't started it as wanted to upgrade jetty before we did.                                 What is the point of this village apart from a complete waste of time and effort.     Will be pulling plug on it totally in morning.












    I am with you I am a leader of a small coop and most of my members are low level. They can not do missions and compete with the 60% reduction. So that mean they cannot help with the village. I have several that struggle to do the weekly event with full and can not be down on products for 6 r 7 hours at a time. Plus the lower amount of money. You lower the amount we get and then ask us to give to a coop, a village and an island plus build our farms and keep them running. Something has to give.

    Some of the lower level wanted to use the horse meadow but to do all the building you need so that you have the stuff you need for the horse is now unobtainable for us as a coop. Unless we stop doing all other events and building and islands as well as missions. 

    So I am with you I am going to tell me people not to bother any more with the village as my players can not money wise keep up and it is unobtainable to do all the building needed for the horse maintenance stuff. 

    I understand it is a long slow game i have been playing for 4 years but my members do not make enough money to spread it that thin and like SSweet said there is no reward.

    It is my opinion, being in a coop that has started the horse meadow, that it too is a waste of resources and time.  You have to give your horse items to increase their breeding level but most of the items cannot be had till the factories are at level ten.  So I'm feeding my horse pellets and such as can be made in the bakery but it is a slow uphill climb.  And I have no idea what will become of my horse if I ever get her to breeding level. Don't waste your time. And reassure your coop members they are not missing a thing.

    Whether intentional or not, problem with edge plants will cause most (if not all) players will stop working in the co-op village. In addition, it'll force the players  to recalculating their strategy to work with edge plants (if they want to do so)

    All I can say sometimes is "oh boy!  What will GGS do now?"  D:

    I love this game but dang it's harder now than ever before.  It is, at its roots, a great game with farming and fishing even but GGS you need to fix the constant bugs that creep into the game at every update.  

    Last night, I put down sunflowers to get tracks for the event and I still have yet to clear my dry and rocky fields.  I'm stuck.  I don't want to build the job centre because we are a small co-op and it's not right of me to keep upgrading something that is at a loss for most of my members including myself.  Without that, it's a waste of special and event seeds so I'm forced to use regular 2 or 3 or 5 minute seeds.  I'll never ever use sunflowers with edge plants again.  :'(

    Also, I personally love the deep sea fishing.  Love the addition to the tooltips and little pictures BUT.....I also have boats everywhere without ponds.  GGS - what are we going to do for fishing Hard Working Event?  As soon as we see a pond with the fish send the biggest boat we have and hope for the best next pond.  If the wrong pond shows up, send a small boat just to get it to disappear?  

    Come on GGS!  Please take this a constructive criticism.  I look forward to the compensation package :)

    Hugs to all,
    Connie

    I'm not in a coop anymore but i assume the new job centre will prove useful to whoever implemented the hotfix that totally broke the dockyard.....

    @Connie999 (US1)

    The disappearing fishing spots only happens if you haven't left the Fishing region before sending out the next boat.

    If you send out the first boat, switch to a different farm, then switch back to the fishing region, you can send another boat to the same fishing spot :)

    One of the factories need to be level 55 to get the blanket for the horse. We have both factories at level 11 now but with lower harvest yield and longer recover times I can not ask my lower players to make less money and spend more when they are struggling now. 

    I am a high level 197 and make a ton of cash but all my upgrades are 30,000,000 plus at this point. Now if I plants egde plants I will make less money for a lot longer, and my money is going to the village, coop, island, and new boats, and I am not sure if I can keep up. 

    A lower level player that is still not making a lot of money can not afford this. 

    Plus like I said mission to try to win for get it.

    The disappearing fishing spots only happens if you haven't left the Fishing region before sending out the next boat.

    If you send out the first boat, switch to a different farm, then switch back to the fishing region, you can send another boat to the same fishing spot :)

    this is not true...  the pics I posted were done while  staying on the fishing region... I did not send out a  boat, leave to another farm and come back  and  then send a boat to be rejected.... it was all done during stay on the fishing region within minutes... as quick as I could taking the screen shots and saving etc.

    actually I misread your post... so I tested it... sent a  boat out, left the region to another farm came back  and the fishing hole was gone... was nothing there to send a boat to!    

    Whatever, the whole thing is now a mess and I hope they can fix it as it was an enjoyable feature to the game before all  this...

    Question:

    Seaweed drops when making chum in the dockyard.  Does this happen at any level or is there a minimum fish xp for this to happen?
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    Please fix

    Breeding jasmine, vanilla, aloe, and lavender, are collecting in my inventory, but, when I harvest the crops, the breeding icons do not appear.  I only know that I got them by checking my inventory.

    @Bufo (AU1) JVD is correct!  I tested it myself, she just wrote faster :)  The pond disappeared and I have another misaligned lonely boat out to sea without a pond that will come back with herring at least :wink:

    @JVD (US1) Hi!  Thanks for your pictures too.  They describe the situation perfectly.  It's a fishing nightmare out there!

    Can we get a start time on the HW?  It is an inherently unfair event when the time is not disclosed.

    I could care less about the start time... how about give me back  my stable fishing holes...  that is a ton more important to me anyway... LOL

    No idea if they are working on this, or if they know about the problem, or if they even care.

    Typical of GGS to once again not utilize their Test server, and cause loads of frustration to their clients while their developers go home for the night.  Anticipating another nice compensation package, though.

    Oh where oh where have my fishing pools gone?
    Oh where oh where can they be?
    With the salmon, herring and tuna galore,
    Oh where oh where can they be?

    I trusted GGS to fix a bug, not break three things in its place.
    But I should have known that eventually,
    They'd find a way to disgrace.

    Having problems since the update too. I sent 2 boats to a fishing spot that had 23 hours left on the timer, i clicked to get the boats there, they are on there way to nothing now?? The fishing spot disappeared after i sent the boats. Does that mean I'm not going to get my 100+ swordfish that I just sent my boat out for???

    I really hope this isn't the case coz I spent a lot of $$ on getting those boats ready to catch the fish???
  • after sending boat location is gone and changed to another location :'(:s:( 
  • i hope ggs will correct is problem before HWE:))
