I tried to manually buy gold bars and load them into a cutter and the prompt told me there was no more room on the ship. I emptied all cargo from all ships and tried again. Same prompt came up.

Also reports of no cargo in any ships.

that seems to be the general consensus - immigrants will load but no cargo

yeh likewise my ships have been trundling round empty for ages

Ah well, guess we will all have to plunder today!

From what I understand, it is immigrants related?

It looks like we're completely unable to load cargo into ships, whether manually or automatically through trade routes. Supposedly the system is recognizing all ships as already being full of cargo.

This is inaccurate. There are indeed some issues but most ships are full right now. So it is effecting specific ships. Please post steps that you do and do not work.

Anyway, based on the data I got, here is the case:

-Some fleets have been having issues, not all fleets, for the past few hours.
-2 fixes were issued about 10 minutes ago.
-All fresh routes (just left the port) should not be empty.
-You should continue noticing empty fleets. These are the ones who visited the port and were already empty at the time of the fix.

However there might be more issues that we have not discovered yet. So if you notice any empty fleets that just left port, let me know.

Type 30 in the buy gold bar section of market.

Tap or click buy and store in ship

Select an empty cutter in a fleet

Load the gold in

The prompt will say something along the lines of no more cargo space.

Next to confirm i did this:

Sell cargo in ships

Sell ALL cargo in ALL ships

Click market

Type 1 in the buy gold bar section of the market

Tap or click buy and store in ship

Select the same cutter or another cutter

Load in ship

Same prompt will show up

I did the steps and it works for me. It does not for you? Have you just checked?
