DOH! I'm worried about that happening... It would put a huge damper on the 200 credit achievement (still 80 more to go).

I just noticed you're 6 levels ahead of me, then I remembered you're a teacher, so you've probably got boatloads of free time right now. Not to say you haven't earned it, of course . (My wife is a teacher)

Hi guys! How do I fill your containers? When I click on the container it just shakes. I press the green arrow with the line underneath and it tells me I don't have the resources eventhough I do. Thanks in advance.

That threw me for a while too. Clicking on the containers themselves doesn't do anything (apart from making them shake!). And clicking on the green arrow with the line only works if you have precisely the resources matching the icon immediately to the left of the green arrow (which is the one that DOESN'T shake when you touch it). So, if there are crates needing 3 pots of paint, 4 pots of paint and 5 pots of paint, and you indeed have 4 pots of paint available which would be enough for the first two containers but not the third, but the icon required 5 pots of paint, then you'd get the "not enough resources message". Or, if one of the containers needs logs (which you have), but the icon shows the 5 points of paint, then its only the 5 pots of paint you can contribute at that point; you'd have to wait until the port owner or somebody else fills that particular container, and then see if help is needed for 3 pots of paint/4 pots of paint/10 logs etc.

Oh might be a good idea to hide some factories in storage in case the new tasks are based on what's in your city

@GAB
My thoughts exactly. I have all my ranches out due to the contests and pray the event won't start today. Tonight I am going to place the toy factory, the furniture factory and all my small restaurants out and hide whatever I can, just in case.

If it makes you feel better I have done that twice and for 60+ credits each time.

Well, I'm actually doing summer school right now and working 2 part-time jobs...but still definitely more free time than during the school year! Ad now that I finally got my port open, I'm really having a good time with the challenge. That along with helping other people fill their ports, I'm loving having more free time to play the game. I'm working towards the 7 million...I'm at 5 now. I'm hoping I can make it before warehouses go on sale gain so I can use the money to stock up on warehouses and space.

Good call!!!!! I'm going to do that now! The new tasks are usually Dairy Factory, Milling Plant, an Confectionary Plants, right? The higher end factories usually aren't used right? So I should put in storage all the lower factories and put out the higher ones?

I thought that was you running in the field waving Now in Baltimore waiting to board my next leg home. Rest of today's flights are oversold. They looking for volunteers to go tomorrow. Looks like there will be involuntary denied travel today. I have my A-1 boarding pass, line forms behind me, except for all the wheelchair jockeys
