I recently got to be noticed about the possibility to cast away the boat order. Sometimes these orders are impossible to fill so it is good to not accepted and I will rather wait for the next one after 4 hours. This is more better than waiting for about 16 hours. For those who actively chasing the 15000 boat score points for the the 50 diamonds award, do you often cast away those impossible boat orders?
you mean you didnt know you could cast the boat away? i cast most boats away actually, not just the sugar/cream/popcorn/bread that requires short production time with atrocious quantities but also those that i know i wont be able to produce by the time the boat arrives. i am doing the BSH II achievement but im not really in a hurry to complete it. i'd rather tackle those that im about to complete, like for now it would be the patronage III, beep beep III and egghead III. BSH takes toooo long to achieve so i dont plan on giving myself any pressure. i do try to help boats that give 3 boat points though, like wheat :DQuote:

I send off the ones I can't fill - usually sugar and jam (jam ones seem to come one after the other until I'm completely out)
I took a chance and kept a syrup boat last night - since I open a crate of each item, people seem to be generous and even that got filled by morning (tytyty ;)
Bsh3 is one of my last achievements (other than the metal or fish ones) so I usually keep and fill them if they don't ask for sugar or jam - I never have enough to fill my share of the crates - besides IMO they don't give enough points for sugar so unless someone is VERY helpful to me And i see their boat And i have the sugar I dont fill them - I don't understand why a crate of carrots is worth 3 and syrup only 1!!! :P
Enjoy the game - now that you don't have to wait so long for your next boat ;)
Yes- I am still going for the boat achievement and I send off many boats! I still just play for enjoyment, not for headaches.
I'm fully agree with you. Only the one I can fill I keep otherwise send it off and wait for the next one to fill when I can. Wishing I'm that near the 50 diamonds like you. I still have a long way to go, but indeed it is the joy you play and not the headaches :pQuote:

I also sometimes send away boats that ask for a lot of pizza or coffee since those can basically amount to being dairy or sugar boats if it asks for enough of it. I still do buttered popcorn because I seem to be able to find enough of it for sale to many times have a stockpile. I will probably a couple times a day or so fill another person's crate with dairy or sugar but sometimes even filling one crate can take a while to recover from. I wind up sending away more and more jam boats too because I don't like to ask for it and usually won't do it unless I have a good stack of it.
I'm still under 2,000 to go to the 50 diamond achievement though, which I didn't even notice until now. I was surprised because I send away more and more boats these days, but I guess I fill enough of other people's crates that it has added up
Well, I always check what's coming on the next boat order . Usually just by looking at that I can decide if I'm going to fill it or not. If i am going to fill it that usually means i have a good stock of whats arriving and can get going on the rest. I like to fill boats as quickly as possible when they arrive. If I am casting off I like to do it as soon as possible too so the next ship can come in within a few hours.
My advice to people is to not get caught up so much in what items the boat wants but if the stars and coins they are offering is worth it.
wow i had two back to back boat i couldnt do i didnt know u could do it how
Send a boat away?
I do, A lot of times! Already achieved captain III when I was lv 24. :o
Don't open any of the crates. Tap the release button ( the picture of the boat). The boat will leave empty.Quote:

Wow! I think this is the best kept secret of the whole game. Thanks!Quote:

I once had a triple order of vanilla ice cream after I unlocked the machine. I was doing my cap III at the time, so I got loads of help, but yeah triple orders or those asking for products of same machines are annoying unless they're fast cooking ones.Quote:

It's a struggle but I usually make it and a pat on the back afterwards feels good. Lately, though, on several boats, I've had to either ask for help or just send them down river empty.
I've got a laughable boat coming in just under 4 hours asking for brown sugar, white sugar, and apple jam. Nearly choked when I saw that. That joker is going to be sent down river before it even finishes stopping at the dock. LOL "No, no, don't stop, just keep going...that's right. Nothing to see here. Tootles, see ya, don't forget to write, bon voyage."
