New resource collector idea

In the spirit of the inferno tower, specifically how it does more damage the longer it is locked on a target, how about resource collectors that generate more resources the longer you leave them be between harvestings. So, the collectors start off generating resources slowly, and speed up as time goes by. The longer you wait to collect the resources, the faster they collect.

This will bring another level of decision making for the player. It'll be nice to leave the collectors alone so they quickly generate resources, but then they will be vulnerable to attacking players stealing a lot more loot. If you don't have an active shield, do you harvest them more quickly so the resources are safer in the storages? Or do you leave them be and hope no attackers get to them?

I was thinking these collectors could be in addition to the traditional ones already in use. Maybe have one gold, one elixir, and one dark elixir building per town that generates this way. And maybe the capacities of these buildings could be larger than 150k.

Could be fun. Thanks for reading!

nah, its ok. it'll get 2 complicated after a while.

It sounds cool but it would probably be hard for supercell to do and would be hard for us to manage.

I just think it would give players a lot more to think about when laying out their town. A player who is concerned with protecting resources instead of trophies may want to look at protecting these new collectors instead of leaving them exposed. Or not, if you collect from them often. It's just another level of strategy for a great strategy game.

I actually think is an alright idea , but id prefer it as just updates all your current collectors to the new system , as having another would be complicated and disruptive

Yeah, maybe a completely different building isn't necessary. Maybe just an upgrade after level 11. Then maybe an option to toggle between the standard collector and the new collector. Even more strategy options!

That's kinda confusing to include in the game. I'm fine with my lvl 11 mines and pumps, which give me 3,000 an hour. I like having consistency too.
