Is it worth it to upgrade collectors?
I'm currently lvl 48 with th 8 and my gold collectors are at lvl 7 (two at lvl 8) while my elixir collectors are all at lvl 5. My question is...is it worth it to upgrade collectors when a lot of those resources will be taken from raids and you could be using your builders for more "worthy" investments?
To me it's only worth it if your builders are idle...
With three builders, I am able to keep them constantly working on upgrades, so using them to upgrade mines just seems like a waste of the builders time currently. My mines/collectors are 5/6 , i just find them to be a small boost in income.. I earn much much more from raiding. Eventually I will upgrade them, but not for a long time still.
My issues with upgrading past level 6 is, to go from 6 to max (11) takes 15 days of a builder's time. At level 6 I get 1300 per hour which is 200 shy of half the max level's rate.. So the time investment doesn't really seem anywhere close to worth it, unless you have nothing else to do.
Not only are you not upgrading something that could enhance your offense/defense you aren't even getting the resources for that upgrade time.
