Inactive Builder Idea.

So there are times where you have builders doing nothing for almost a whole week on end. Why not add a new job or activity for them other than removing rubbish that spawns around your base. I was thinking something like fishing or treasure hunting.

Fishing,

Send up to 3 builders on a fishing trip/break for up to 4 hours. While fishing, an activity that cannot be canceled by the way, they can reel in random objects or treasures. Such as old boots, messages in bottles(which could lead to treasure hunts) or containers with elixir/gold in them. The ideas are endless but having inactive builders really sucks. Especially if you spent the money for the 5th one. This activity could be used everyday. And even the bad luck of builders not catching anything at all.

Treasure Hunting,

Send up to 2 builders on a treasure/Scavenger hunt for up to 6 hours. While looking for goodies, this activity also cannot be canceled, they can find treasure or other goodies to help your town. Such as gems or broken shields that guard you for a few hours or just chest with some elixir/gold in them. This activity can only be used once every few days. Builders can use message in bottles from fishing which could extend a hunt to 12 hours up from 6.

You could also upgrade builders individually. Let us name them too! By upgrading i dont mean building faster. Just improving skills outside of that such as a fishing skill or treasure seeking ability. Its a rough idea or even a bad one at that. But hey it's an idea and could add a little more interaction to the game!

I really like the fishing idea, it would finally be a reason to have the water beside the base, not sure on the treasure hunting. how much gold/elixir could be found?

TH Gold Elixir DE
1-3 1000 1000 0
4-6 10000 10000 0
7-8 50000 50000 250
9-11 200000 200000 1000


Just a thought.

At the very least, it would be nice if it just showed the builders out in boats fishing, even if they couldn't catch anything.

The Fish part is really well suited for the viking tribe , builders can go fishing in their longboats..

Prizes can Gold Chest , Elixir vial , Dark Flask , Gem Ball , Unlocking of new decorations , etc.
This maybe like a lucky draw only when the builder is idle . Nice one !!

You can choose small and deep fishing trips : Small = 12 hours deep = 2 days.
Obviously deep will give more rewards ( 5x atleast than small )

Exactly! The idea was just a base. And the players and devs can add to it to make it better!

I have a max town hall 9, except for dark spells in the lab, heroes and a :heart::heart::heart::heart: ton of walls. That means I always have 3 or more builders free because I bought the fifth builder. It is going to stay this way because heroes take forever as do the lavas. Be great to put all these snoozing builders that we PAID for to work. It is true for all town halls: you run out of buildings before you do walls.

Sounds really good. I'd like to see it ingame.

Sounds like a good idea. Never feels good to see lazy builders.

Cmon devs! Give some insight!

Great idea I for one want something to do with the water beside our village its useless I love the idea of fishing for small treasures with any idle builders it would be a cool but small idea very nice.

Love it:heart:

Definitely need it.Fishing is great,not sure about treasure hunting.
