    Will the payment for goods sold to the boat be the same for everyone or will it be a % above the price currently received selling on the farm management panel?

    Just an observation, but if we all get offered the same price, this represents a much smaller increase in profit margin for co-op members who have worked to achieve benefits for their members, than for people who have not bothered to do this.

    Well, with respect... that is useless... I need the architect to appear to do final upgrade on barn. It means that the new update is a total waste of time... surely this needs to be addressed ???

    I have just sent 6 items (eggs, cherries, citrus fruit, essense of lavender, etc) and the ship away, got my money and XP.
    They still demand a full shipload. What is a full shipload?

    Howdy GGS!! The Ship indeed seems interesting,,i am curious to see the profits when it returns,,
    I rec;d a $177,000 for shipping Fruit Cream,,,However,,with current research completed,,,it is much more profitable for me to sell,,rather than ship..Wondering if profits were calculated with this in mind?

    O.k. Thanks. Boohoo. I was looking forward to this part of the game. Looks like it will be a while before I can really get into it. Have fun everyone!

    Why are the icons large again? Remember when you made them smaller because we were complaining? Can you make that a choice on settings?

    Hoi

    During playing the time that the ship return is not in view of the farm.
    You must shift your screen to see the time.

    Can you shift the time , which is now in the harbour to the screen fi next to the player name (farm house) above the screen as all other main things are.
    Than always you can see the time left before the ship comes or goes.
    thanks

    my only problem with the boat is now its arrived, the list of produce that it wants and the time scale given in which to supply goods, for instance when i logged on i only got 6hrs to produce cherries, but cherries take 13hrs to produce as i am just a newbie on level 17. do they think we all keep produce in stock or are they always expecting us to buy gold to speed things up. i mean i appreciate its a business but it is also supposed to be do-able.

    The boat will be back every 6 hours, so you don't exactly have to finish it every time ;) The contents will change once we added the next environment feature, right now it's more of a functionable placeholder to have a little fun with.

    We'll fix this in about half an hour with a short hotfix :) No downtime expected, just reload your game in about 45 minutes.

    That is why I filled up my barns to maximum yesterday - because I suspected that ships cargoes would be asked in the tasks. I always try to plan ahead on the day before a new update comes up. Of course you can't always be sure of what the new update will bring, but up untill now my expectations were right most of the time.

    It's a usual practice for me to keep my barns full. I sell only when harvesting.

    I looooooove the new ship feature!

    I have just completed my first shipment. It was awesome! 4 out of 6 products I already had available, just harvested the donkeys and than that was done. It asked for honey wich I don't produce yet, but calculating the cost of buying the needed amount of honey was way lower than the overall reward. The XP is totally worth it! One happy farmer here! ^^

    Did they also make the bubles bigger? I usually play zoomed out all the way and the size of the bubles floating over stuff that needs to be harvested seem to be biggger. Did anyone else notice that?

    Darren The save the piggies is an event that is planned for later on, it was just announced that there will be a new event thing for the future. The ship was first, so players can get to know how it works and later on the Vicky Ventura Piggies thing will come later (find the Herbs), they just never gave us an exact time. I like that they are doing the one thing at a time. So players don't get too overwhelmed off the bat.

    Post #35 addresses this.

    What about the problem of asking for produce that you don't even have built yet? Can't give what you don't have. :p

    I noticed that this morning, I guess they are going to fix it later (a hotfix thing) I didn't mind the size of the icons the better to click on, but that is just me.
    I have to agree with you I also love the ship feature, I finally get to send off some pigs and donkeys and all that other stuff that I keep having to sell of because my barns are full and I already filled my transfer area as well. On the other things

    I regretted a bit when I upgraded the barn last week, because we are no longer doing missions on selling items.
    Now it seems that a big barn has a new use.
    Can anyone tell me why after sending a ship away will still cause me to have a task "shiver my timbers?" Is it the 2nd task for the ship or what?

    Produce your cherries, then keep them. This is supposed to be a business your running (O.K. I know It's a game), and you do not get things handed to you on a plate in business. You do not have to use gold. This new boat thing is do able, you just have to put in a bit of work and calculations. You can always ignore the boat until you have more goods, or just put in one thing you will be paid for each thing you put in the boat.

    The ship will sail whether it is filled or not after the 6 hours. But you still get the farm dollars for each thing you do fill. The only difference is you wont get the little reward prizes for filling the entire ship. For example I know one player that doesn't have a distillery and the ship wants lavender oil. So obviously he wont fill that spot this time, maybe in the future. But he gets the various farm dollars for filling the pigs and donkeys and apples and to other things which I cant think of right nowso I think he banked 75,000 farm dollars. Soon he can build a distillery just by filling the ship.
    Make sense?

    I haven't built an apiary yet so I decided to buy the honey to contribute. The reward/payment for contributing the honey more than covered the cost of buying it.
