When you update to the versions I have stated above ⬆️ you will see this screen when your warehouse is full AND you try to access the destinations @Tigger1987 has mentioned

CaptLucas1

Thanks. I have 1.0.208 on my I-Phone already. I've had my warehouse filled many times. The last time was on April 25. Did this just happen?

Graylady

CaptLucas1 It is new. Saw it for the first time today when I loaded the weekly gift (trusses). I hate it! I much prefer using the farm over the town warehouse to check my stock in or en route.

CynthiaF

CaptLucas1
Something is not right you might want to check your version again. The latest iPhone version is 1.0.106

Version 1.0.208 which you claim you have installed on your phone is the Android version.

Nevertheless it is correct that you can still fill your warehouse, but when it is full you cannot Look at the above mentioned destinations anymore 🙄

CaptLucas1

Graylady Thanks for your input. I'm not sure I understand. In Seaport I'm aware of just one warehouse. I'm not sure what you mean by "prefer using the farm over the town warehouse".

Graylady

CaptLucas1 By "farm" I mean the supplier where we get wheat, cacao sugarcane, etc. I use the other supplier too in the same manner. As I always work from the map screen I hate having to go back to the town screen, open the warehouse, dig each product scattered in the list in no logical order just to see how much I have or how much is en route. I use the market too sometimes just to check stock. Having that option gone when the warehouse is full is a new irritant. It doesn't "help" the game at all. It serve no purpose at all except being a total nuisance.

Tigger1987

Graylady
Exactly on point and a huge nuisance. Like I said before, they did something similar in Diggy’s that is a complete nuisance so it seems this is the direction PF is heading.

Graylady It serve no purpose at all except being a total nuisance.

Or to make it easier to play if you buy a bigger warehouse, it comes across as another marketing twist.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but to be honest I don't get the fuzz y'all making about this. If the warehouse is full, you can't get materials anyway. You can still see, how much space you have or haven't left. 🤷‍♂️

Are you playing on the computer or phone?

CynthiaF

Redline_Diesel
Don't tell me you forgot how to overstock your warehouse 😳

But now you have to switch between port and map screen in order to see how much you have to "fake send" (which is according to PF not recommendable because If you miss the cancellation, the product is irrevocably gone. Really? 😲)

I'm still wavering between amusement, annoyance and disbelief at the response to my ticket so I need to sleep another night or two before I reply back.

CynthiaF

Redline_Diesel You can still see, how much space you have or haven't left. 🤷‍♂️

But only in the port screen. More important though you cannot see anymore how much product is left until the next upgrade of your oil, cement, and event destinations. So unless you always fetch 100% of oil and cement (which you probably do, but I don't) and you are on tier 4 of your event destinations, you need to free warehouse space before you can see how much is left.
I shut it now, still too upset 😠🤐

Tigger1987

CynthiaF
Exactly. That switching back and forth is so annoying.

CynthiaF
Oh yes. I am hating that right now with my event destinations.

Redline_Diesel
The big thing is all the extra time and effort now to go between everything.

CynthiaF
It is far from player friendly and will not help with game flow at all. If anything it makes it way harder. Like the other day, I either had to cancel everything and start over or I had to just leave the bigger ship than necessary out to get the event commodities I needed. Due to a time crunch at the time, I chose to leave the too big of a ship out. I also am short uranium right now for my TH upgrade that just completed while I was at work. Luckily I can get enough before I start the basic materials upgrades because my daily tasks need production of all 3 and there were already 3 tasks I will not even attempt to complete today so I am stuck anyway. I cannot believe that support would say that but it is crazy and so not true.

Redline_Diesel
I think it mostly comes down to how we play the game and the time we have to play. For me this change is a lot more time consuming so I will pry just find a way around it like I did with the same stupid type change they made with Diggy’s. It will just take time to figure out what that will be. For Diggy’s all I do is make sure that I do not clear a main story location of an event on before work energy. I will do the same here eventually. It is just something that I wish I did not have to do. At least this change does not affect me before work, like the Diggy one did, but does on my limited playtime around real life.

CynthiaF
Yep same boat I am in. Extra steps or just leave the bigger ship out anyway.

Graylady
Exactly, blocking the essential info hurts game flow, not helps it, unless they reorganize the main screen warehouses.

Graylady
Wow that is really stupid. And the bad part is is that those 2 destinations cannot even be refreshed with an add on mobile.

Redline_Diesel

Egg
Phone only. Don't tell me, there's a difference in this matter, too. I can hear @MazdaMan cursing already...

Egg

Redline_Diesel Don't tell me, there's a difference in this matter, too

Sure is, but in the computer's favour, as in it hasn't changed.................YET.☺

Redline_Diesel

CynthiaF
Still don't get it.
Doesn't matter if it's 50 or 50000 units left to upgrade the oil/cement/event destination, you still have to clear the warehouse to at least one below maximum. How much you have overstocked, you can still see in the pop-up and therefore know, how much you have to send/fake send/sell/delete.
Or is my way to overfill any different from yours?

CynthiaF

Redline_Diesel
Your way of overstocking is most likely not much different than mine. As I said, I need a couple of days to calm down.
Because I do not react well to unnecessary changes which interupt my personal game flow, especially when I'm told that this was introduced because it is more player friendly and will increase the game flow. Sorry, not seeng it yet 😉

Redline_Diesel

CynthiaF
Hmm.
It always bugs me when my opinion differs from everybody else's and I don't know whether I'm the only one who's wrong or the only one who's right...

CynthiaF I need a couple of days to calm down.

Don't become a grumpy old man. Don't become me. Leave it to the people with more experience in that matter. So please leave being me to me. 🤔

Egg

CynthiaF when I'm told that this was introduced because it is more player friendly and will increase the game flow.

If it looks like something that comes out of a male cow's rear end, smells like it and you can make the plants grow better with it, it probably is just that.

CynthiaF

Redline_Diesel
First, don't worry, I doubt that I will become a grumpy old man cause I am female and there is no intention of gender change 😉😂
I do not think there is a wrong or right. As we have already emphasised several times, everybody can play her/his way and it is always their right way 😉
My "right" way was

Check the destinations how much is left in order to pick the right ship to send. Not to big to avoid wasting capacity, not to small to avoid leaving a tiny bit (very OCD, I get it, but that is my way😁)
Check farm or gen store for the amount of product that needs to be fake send
Prepare fake send (yes, I need preparation, older/slower than you are 🤣)
Fake send,
Send for product,
Cancel fake send.

With new update it will be

Click destination and check pop-up for amount to be fake send.
Fake send
Check destinations for rest product
Cancel fake
Prepare by selecting ships...
Fake send,
Send for product,
Cancel fake send.

For me (and this is only my personal way of playing) that means two additional steps and a lot more stress. Fake send => only 20 sec time to check destinations => cancel.
So when someone tells me this is now more user friendly and increases the flow, some might agree but I have to disagree. 😘

Graylady

CynthiaF I never use the fake send system and I hated the new "feature" anyway. Like I said, I play mainly on the map and check my stocks from there at different places to plan head my moves. No way to do that now. I have to go back to town to use the warehouse which I always hated as it is a total mess.

I really do not see how blocking essential information "help" the flow of the game at all.

Redline_Diesel

CynthiaF cause I am female

(apart from: I know you long enough to know that...)
See? Reason #1 why I have more experience in being a grumpy old man. Told ya... 😉😂

CynthiaF Check destinations for rest product

That is why I always empty oil and cement in one go. I know that there's always the maximum waiting for me.

CynthiaF older... than you are

Definitely possible...

CynthiaF slower than you are

REASONABLE DOUBT, YOUR HONOR! 🤣

CynthiaF this is now more user friendly and increases the flow

As far as I can see, it ain't. But, at least for me, it ain't less user friendly either. Because "my way" didn't change at all.

CynthiaF

Graylady
Part of my Ticket

Quote
Why have a map view when it is not possible anymore to LOOK at your destinations?
Why did you introduce (after many requests from your players) the warehouse overview at General Store and Farm when you now make it impossible to LOOK at it?
Unquote

Unfortunately this was not addressed in the answer

Graylady

CynthiaF Just realised we can't even check the timer for cement and oil. What a great improvement on the flow of the game ! NOT !
