Ships not docking

[General Chaos]

Anyone else having problems getting ships to dock? ie, I have two 3 slot ports from Farm to Processing I put the 3 Slot port at the farm so it could load either of the cargo to two different ships. Instead while one is loading the other sits outside the port waitingfor the other to fill. At the 3 port Food end I have a ship loading Food. The first time the Farm ship went in and unloaded but I got no income from it. Now I have 2 loaded farm ships sitting outside the Food port doing nothing. Only one slot is being used by the food ship loading. My guess is they are waiting for the food ship to leave which it can't because it is not full. And since the the Farm ships are sitting outside the port it won't be getting anymore food. IMHO this whole Load Full costing less is a huge fail because of events like this. I have seen it in both ships and trucks with the whole networking shutting down because the Load Full any doesn't work. Trucks and ships should be able to take on any cargo on the route.

if you upgraded the port then you need to redo your lines. it doesnt auto use the other docks. each line uses a different dock. you need to have another seporate but identical line. the only problem is the game will then create two pile of product so it can take twice as long to fill

I've never experienced that..
Everytime I've upgraded, the lines have stayed...

Weird.

As Turbo said every line uses 1 dock, busses use 1 ramp and trains 1 platform.
There is no good workaround as much as i know. If you can, buy bigger ships with more capacity to increase the transported volume

I did not mention that the food port was a 3 slot build not a upgrade. and as ACH suggested buying bigger ships won't work if they won't go into port and unload while a ship waiting to be filled is sitting there

they won't go into port and unload while a ship waiting to be filled is sitting there

Turn off wait till full

Thanks C.O. but that defeats the purpose of have a 3 slot port.

You can make a second line with exactly the same route as the first one and split your ships between the new line and the old line. This way the two lines should start using two different docks.

@kane I did that im EU Miss07,
unfortunately the KI did then choose to only deliver to 1 line (i assume the shortest one) even though I split it into 3 identical line to use al 3 ports. The paths of the lines are not identical, so the will be a "shortest" one :-(
