I think that boat will remain docked for the duration.
Madness ! Do you even have the sauce boat maker?Quote:

Pssssh, come on guys, it's ONLY 36 bottles of soy sauce. At 3 hours a piece times 36 pieces; it ONLY takes 108 hours or 4 ½ days to make. Clearly, you have plenty of time to make it with your give 15 hours. Lol. Dude, I agree, that is completely berzerk!

- now ever since the new products where lunch all players that are able to get them, only with the criteria of the lv, get "entire" boats of produts even before there where time to finish the machines, without diamonds.
So i have to say that over the past months the bug's have because more and more important, DD, friends list, LAG, diamonds missing, diamonds payed but not received, truck standing, gregs shop, boat orders preview not corresponding to arrived boat, but the only focus seams to be new texture for themas and itens for diamonds.
With this, personnel, opinion all i can say is cast the boat and pray for the next to be "just" half sushi
don't be naive. it's not an issue. it's just a way to make players buy more diamonds they'll spend on speeding up the production of product - in this case a soya sauce.Quote:

I find it very interesting those so many people are attaching malicious intent on these sorts of patterns instead of just assuming (as I do) that it is the result of a miscalculation on the part of the programmers that will be corrected down the line. My default position is they are doing the best they can for now and will correct it in the future.
I think a lot of people might not recognize how difficult it is to make sure every last detail is perfect in something as complicated and interconnected as a game like HayDay. Also, Apple restricts the frequency with which a developer can update an app. So even if they found and corrected the mistake the very next day, they could not release an approved update for the app to fix it right away.
If it's a problem that could be fixed on their servers, that would be different, but who's to say how easily something like this can even be corrected?
What if they employed more staff in development and in QUALITY ASSURANCE?
If it is not done on purpose then it is ignorance. And ignorance is very easy to get under control, by introducing standard quality management systems.
That they seem to have that need anyway shows in their lack of internal testing procedures: how the heck can one release a sushi without rice? Initiate a Thank you thread" for non working feature exclamation mark on follower list?
They shouldnt just pile up their profits but invest. In customer satisfaction, in staff and in quality.
Agree with CheddarLimbo. I remember reading about SC fixing the amount of sugars in each crate. Apparently they used to ask for astronomical numbers (way higher than currently). Hopefully they will change the soy sauce.
I have decided to treat them like jams. I will cast boats that ask for it off and use my stash to help neighbors.
I do wonder though, how come I have not seen or gotten boats asking for red scarves or strawberry jams. Have you seen any? Maybe SC forgot to add them to the programming.
Well, now you mention this, also haven't seen any.Quote:

i really don't think that's an error in code because ships like this one are nothing new.
we all know that diamonds are what gives SC their bread. and i really don't think it's malicious to assume they want people to spend more diamonds. but no one is forcing anyone to do so. you don't have enough soya sauce to fill the entire ship with it? cast it off. or you really want to fill it and you have more then enough diamonds (or enough money to buy some more diamonds) to produce 40 or so sauces in no time? it's entirely up to you.
if SC would disable the option to cast off ships, then i would call them greedy. as the things are, they are giving us the options and i love it.
I have seen both, red scarves and strawberry jams.
I filled some crates asking for strawberry jam, so yes, they are there. Not seen anyone asking for scarfs, though.
And would you love it MORE if you wouldnt have to cast boats off but could them and help your friends?Quote:

In my opinion it eould be quite boring if every boat was very easy as it would hardly have any challenge. It's just that much more fun when you see the preview of your next boat and it's an easy one. Something a player would never experience if every boat was very easy.
I have played this game for over a year now and have helped out in the Captain 3 thread for some time helping people get their Captain achievement. In all that time I have seen boats wanting nothing else but vanilla ice cream. Or an all jam boat (which would take much longer if you do the math). I have seen boats needing only items kinds from the sugar mill.
There was a time that you needed 8 espresso (as in 8 white sugar) per crate or boats needing 17 brown sugar or 11 white sugar in a single crate. Yes boat orders have been tweaked in the past and sugar is somewhat easier now. My barn has about 70 of each sugar item and I do take on a sugar boat every now and then or help neighbours occasionally with sugars. So yes in my opinion it can be done.
As for this soy sauce boat I probably wouldn't take it on even if I had the stock because recovering from such a boat just takes too long. Well at least not now. Maybe in future if I have the stock of everything else and still need to work on the mastery I might but I doubt it.
My very last boat in the boating event called for red scarves, but I haven't seen one since. I don't qualify yet for the new machines or the new jam, but as far as boats are concerned I have to say mine have gotten MUCH better. In all the boats since the update, I've only had ONE ask for a sugar product (syrup) which I cast off. So far every other boat I've had has asked for produce and regular items (and not jams, either). My next boat is asking for chocolate ice cream, wheat and milk. Those are the kinds of boats I can enjoy filling! So all in all, I have to say the boat situation, at least for me, has improved tremendously.Quote:

my ships achievements are done long ago so i don't really care if i have to send away even five ships in a row. as a matter of fact it would be good thing as i would have more time to produce and sell good, expensive stuff and to earn some money i'm going to need to buy those shushi and salad things :D
So would you like it MORE if you wouldnt have to cast those boats off but could collect vouchers?
I would be bored out of my mind if every boat was so easy. I wouldnt appreciate to see easy boats anymore either.Quote:

Where people work there is bound ti be a mistake every now and then. The egg sushi was fixed and now needs rice. The ! Tab is for people on the friends list only. It never was introduced for the follower tab. To say it isnt working is quite inaccurate as it's not there at all.Quote:

Haha true but I was actually very happy that Tom is such a lazy bugger. I hired him for 10 days once and had a lot of barn space when I started. Halfway through those 10 days stocking up shovels, rings and jelly beans my barn was bursting and it was more and more difficult storing all the goodies he fetched. I actually hired him to supply both my and hubby's farm with these items and it was still difficult to store it all but we managed of course.Quote:

I have opened up more slots so I am making soya sauce constantly. This way I can try to (almost) stay ahead, hopefully. And, yes i have helped friend fill a crateQuote:

Many players do not remember boats needing 17 brown sugar a crate, times where you couldn't ask for help at all when filling your boat and so on.
Soy sauce, sushi its just a matter of adjusting and we have seen this over and over again in history when the coffee kiosk was added, when fishing was new and many more.
I'm with you. If Tom is less lazy, it is so UNFAIR for those who cannot hire Tom. That would be definitely "force player to buy diamonds".Quote:

I would say send it off, but...
new update make boats to have at least one of new products to fill in, which is very hard to get, so let say from last 7 boats I was able to fill up one, rest of them I did cast off..
I disagree. It wasn't boring at all when we were allowed to open all our crates on the boats. Boats were finished quickly, both our own and neighbors.Quote:

I also agree with ChedderLimbo that this is an oversight due to the massive amount of code and will be fixed just as the sugars were. Even with the absurd amounts on sugar boats, having a triple order is extremely rare, especially as max per crated, yet this is the third triple order of soy at max per crate in just two days that I've seen. So far, I've only seen I've only one double order of sushi at 2 per crate, that's more in line with regularly get with any item, further convincing me that this impossible soy boat is not what is intended.Quote:

Well said. Please remember people that this happened with the lobster/soup kitchen update. It leveled out as it always has. I haven't received an all lobster soup boat since that update came around. I imagine they still happen but no one posts pictures of them anymore. They cast them off and go on or fill them and collect. I do think the look especially horrendous because the look so 3D.Quote:

Her Barn is an astronomically large one and continues to help lots of us every day I used to play a game where in order to complete a quest, you absolutely had to buy the premium currency and you couldn't cast off that quest unless you paid a penalty with that same premium currency. There is nothing you can't do in this game without diamonds except to buy decorations that are OPTIONAL. Even then if you want them bad enough you can hope to find diamonds in toolboxes, on the wheel, or from leveling up or even in the mine. Yes the diamond ring and the mystery net require diamonds but you don't have to make them in order to master the jewelry machine or to fish.
The computer randomly puts up the boat requirements and if the game was too hard or too easy, no one would play, at least not as long as most of us play.
Do I think SC is perfect? I do not. I think it takes way too long for an answer to a problem ticket. I think a diamond confirmation button is essential and needed. But, I believe them when they say they are testing it, and if they say "sorry it didn't test well and we are abandoning the attempt", i think they will have made a major mistake. I believe others who say they have gotten replies to their trouble tickets and that they are backlogged. If that backlog never breaks, that too will be a mistakes in my book. But outrageous boat orders?, that is a minor blip in the game with an obvious answer. Cast it off and wait for the next one. the end.
I think you might be alone, or in a very small group with this belief. It has been my experience that people WANT to fill their own boats. As a member of the Captain's achievement group, I remember many times having candidates who wouldn't open any crates for us to fill even if it meant the boat would go the full time. They might ask us to sell them an item (we usually sold at default price), but only after they couldn't find it themselves in the DD even at max price.Quote:

If we could always open all crates for help, then the achievement would belong to our helpers and not to ourselves. what's the fun in that.
I prefer it this way, but to each his own.
♥♥♥♥ wow that's ludacris man!! Anything to make more money!!! They've completely lost their minds...I'm not a high enough level to make the products yet but even I know that's insane!!! -_-
I am stocked up on both and no boat no little people no truck. They are now just asking for things I don't have. Not even the top three anymore. WeirdQuote:

Soy sauce boats seem to be in the same category as sugar and cream ones!:(
I have seen a couple of boats wanting strawberry jam on neighbours boats but I have not had one ....yet.
No red scarves though.
I'm new here....but I got this message pound and clear once I achieved my captain 3. If I don't want to part with what is in the boat, I send it away early and empty. I made the exception during the boat event, but prior to that I've been casting off quite a bit. Got a crazy ne last evening that everything on it involved dairy and diary and sugar. My farm staff works had to get me those items. My machines run now stop as I sneak in during the day and over night to queue them back up.
So if you don't like the boat send it away and wait for the next one. kinda like street cars and men....there will be another one coming along....
Have a great day / night..where ever you are.
please dont ask for strawberry jams...when they unlocked with the update my boat asked for it 3 crates of strawberry jams 3 in each box...with the gold star it takes 6 1/2 hours.Quote:

My 1st boat order ( after the update) was for the soya sauce mmmm that got sent sailing fast. I've had one in today with the mayo on. I was very surprised that there were just 4 crates to fill with just ONE mayo in each crate. I was also surprised to see crates of strawberries , I can't remember the last time I had a boat asking for them.
I'm now awaiting my next boat order which has soya sauce on. :cool:
I thought I was the only one.
I've just reached the level to unlocked the sauce maker and I don't even have enough money to build the sauce maker yet, how would I produce this boat?
the game should not send you boats with crates you don't have a machine for. the admin need to fix that
Once you are at the level then you start getting orders for the products available at that level. If you didn't, there would much less incentive to buy the machines.Quote:

Soybeans, on the other hand, go flying off the shelves, and I know it's due to those soy sauce orders! Until I reach that level where I make soy sauce, this is the most reliable, quick production and turnaround sale I have found. No, you don't make a huge profit on one order, but as they say, volume volume, volume! It adds up!

Now my barn is crammed full at all times, and I spend forever trying to find boats to put things in. Leveling up takes absolutely forever. I very nearly quit when they restricted the open crates to 3, but somehow I hung on. I'm addicted, I guess.
I wish they would have a boat event where you could open every crate, that would be fun. I would also like to try an event where every crate would be asking for a different item.
~powdermonkey
Quite pleasant for a change, right? Today's boats only asked for cheese once (cast off) and regular stuff for the rest. And pumpkins, lots of pumpkins. Three boats in a row, but that's ok. Rather pumpkins than sugar/dairy. :)Quote:

oh..lol. I have soy sauce, soy sauce, cornbread on its way on my next boat and wondered to myself if it was possible to have JUST soy sauce on the boat? Now I see this thread. Too funny.
I agree with you Tigger, it was the same when lobsters and soup maker were introduced.Quote:

I saw one of those earlier today. I don't remember if it was a friend's boat or a followers, but every crate required 3 soy sauce! Unfortunately, I guess they didn't know of the cast off option because it was just sitting there, 3 pitiful surrender flags limp in the wind...every crate wide open for the world to see...oh, the sorrow. :(Quote:
