A thought on restructuring.

In reading the post in the general thread about the guy needing coins at 50 it got me thinking. there's a lot of machines that cost a fair bit from lvl 40-50 and less machines at cheaper rates from 50-60 I think the levels should be reevaluated and spread out a bit more for the new players coming up. They are hit by a lot of different aspects of the game very quickly which causes them to get over loaded. this in turn leads to very quick stagnation after they hit 80+ just a few levels later.

also I got to thinking about the fact that boats ask for larger amounts of items based on the level of the person the boat came to. and items that were asked for at lvl 17 the boats want more and more of at level 88. I got to thinking that wouldn't it be better if the boats asked for larger amounts of end products. and smaller amounts of ingredient products. example it takes 2 bread to make a hamburger. once you have a hamburger you can't do anything with it except fill a truck or boat or townie. so instead of asking for 45 bread to fill a boat box at high levels why not instead ask for 24 hamburgers to fill the box. and keep the bread down to 10 or less. which allows smaller farms to help as well. increase the amounts of tofu dogs and hot dogs and sushi. lower the amount of soy sauce and ketchup. Why there is only 12 tofu dogs in a boat instead of 30 or more per box is silly.

Instead of devouring our bacon have the boats ask for more hamburgers and bacon pies. instead of taking all our cheese butter and cream ask for the cakes the pies the feta salads.

I sometimes feel a little embarrassed by asking my hoodies to help fill my boat, as the amounts I need are high at my level.

One way of tackling that would be for a boat order to ask for more crates of each item, with each crate needing a lower amount. I know that would mean that I still might struggle to fill the boat, but the impact on my neighbours wouldn't be so great. They are always very helpful, but some of the quantities put a strain on resources.

I would still be happy with asking for help on up to four crates; no need to increase that.

Just a thought!

I didn't have any problem paying for the machines as they unlocked from level 50 to 70+. I simply made items, sold them on my stand and saved the money. Now I'm at level 90 and it is nice to have everything unlocked, I would not want to STILL be unlocking stuff at this point. I think it is fine the way it is. I looked on the wikia site to see how much the upcomming machines would cost. The only thing I could ask for is for the game to indicate how much the machine will cost BEFORE it is unlocked so that people can plan for it without having to look it up on an external site.
