Shipping

  • Your ship will automatically depart when you fill all your RegularShipping cargo containers or when the 18 h time limit expires
  • Fill your VIPShipping VIP containers before you fill all your regular RegularShipping cargo if you want the VIP bonus
  • Your ship will return to your port 6 h Time after it departs
  • Filling RegularShipping containers pays you 110% of the value of the goods, for both your ship and RegularShipping containers you fill for your friends
  • If you click again on "load to ship" after a ship has departed, it will tell you what 3 RegularShipping cargo items you need for the next ship (it won't tell you how many)
  • It is possible that you won't be able to create any of the 3 items - if that happens you will just have to wait a day for the next ship
  • The items seem to be listed in order of how much time they take to make
  • If you don't recognize an item, click on the green arrow as if loading it, and it will tell you what it is and what building produces it
  • You can select up to 4 RegularShipping containers for your friends to fill
  • Select the RegularShipping container you want help with and press the "Help from friends" button
  • Friends with PlayerHelp on their user icon have RegularShipping containers available for you to fill 
  • Each ship that leaves fully loaded with RegularShipping cargo gives +1 Cash and +1 Anchor (bronze / silver / gold)
  • You can get gold and silver anchors without filling the premium container
  • Up to level 35 you will have to fill 6 containers RegularShipping (2 containers for each item), level 35 to 46 you have to fill 9 containers  RegularShipping (3 per item) and level 46 onwards you have to fill 12 containers  RegularShipping (4 per item).
  • There is a bug at level 46 which causes the port to require 4 different cargo items per ship (if you click on "load to ship" before the ship arrives it will still only display the normal 3 items). This bug lasts the entire level, once you level up to 47 the ship will go back to normal, ie 4 containers for each of the 3 items. The items it requires for this "bugged" level is 1 container for first item, 4 for second, 4 for third and 3 for fourth.

Total Items Needed to Fill Containers

The following list shows how many of each item you can expect to produce in order to fill your containers, above level 46. This information is especially helpful to know during the 6 hours that you are waiting for your ship to arrive. This will let you know the exact amount you need to fill your containers and not waste time and resources producing too much of an item. Rows A, B and C are independent, for example it is possible to get [B]-1-1-1-1 + [C]-1-1-1-1 = 8 Thickener and 3 Bonus Thickener on the same ship (though better to rely on friends if you get that unlucky).

The first bonus is usually 3 items (exception is Cat House from the Petshop which is just 1, as at 30 Jan 2015), the second bonus is usually 4 items (exception is Dog lead from the Petshop which is also just 1, as at 24 Feb 2015). It is not yet known if bonuses are independent (or if you could for instance get 3+4 bonus Stool).
