I think there should be the option of collecting season rewards even if the storage has no space. We should be able to choose if we want to collect it anyway and have it fill the storage instead of collecting all the loot. The reason I'm asking for this is because I have a bh4 base and 400000 total storage space but am unable to collect the 400000 reward even when there is only 1000 loot (which I have no way to lose) in my storage.
Upgrade bh then stores. You have 2 weeks.
Let's just say that I have no time to upgrade and the season is about to end. Or that I can't upgrade my storage.Quote:

Let's say you upgrade or lose rewards.Quote:

BB is like LL in that you cant lose loot on defence, so an idea is to plan the upgrade path in such a way as to enable resources to be gained above what you actually require at that given time.
I rush my builder halls to a large extent.. But I always upgrade collectors and storage for the level as my priority..
cant do anything else without those resources, and resource capacity is your only realistic hold up in a trophy based system.
You have a month for the pass. Plenty of time to do upgrades. Since there is no resource loss, I could just stack resources on resources on my bh9 that is maxed. Which is probably why the resources on silver pass don't overflow storages.Quote:

If you have the time to gain enough season challenge points to unlock these rewards, you should have the time to assign your builder to a task, and choose an item to be upgraded in the lab.Quote:

Like OP, I have games where the storages can hold 400K exactly; I could REALLY use those season pass resources to great effect at that BH level but I cannot get them because I would have to upgrade the BH. (There’s simply no way to fully drain the storages and since the upper limit is 400K....) Now, granted, I will be upgrading to BH5 in the near future and that’s where storages can hold up to 1.5M (enough to cover the entire silver pass offerings), but it would still be nice to be able to collect the first reward tile at BH4 and use it for said upgrade.
Rather than allowing loot to overflow or partial fill, though, I would suggest increasing the capacity of the BH4 storages to 500K.
That's a reasonable idea.Quote:

Maybe if you’re a super casual player with just one game, but for those of us with multiple games, players starting minis, and those who are only just now starting their BB run...? Lots of folks find this information useful.Quote:

The answer to OPs question I think is as stated above, which is to hurry up and upgrade. Collecting season rewards is only one small advantage to doing so. It would be good advice even if not for that issue.Quote:

There are other players who have just started out on their builder base. What about them?Quote:

That is a choice to make and as long as you are making it knowing the disadvantages, it is a reasonable choice.Quote:

There is no reason SC should care at all about BH4, just like they shouldn't care about th7 or even th9.
And, spoiler: they don't.
They don't? Where did you find that information?Quote:

I usually hit BH5 within 2-3 weeks, often maxing along the way even. It’s not terribly difficult if you’re at least moderately active.Quote:

It's implied SC doesn't care about low THs or BHs. When is the last time a change has been made to TH8 and lower? (aside from sweeping build cost/time reductions that span most THs) Even TH9 hasn't seen changes in years except for the 7th pump a while ago, then most recently L2 freeze and a 3rd DE drill. Other than that, SC isn't touching those lower levels except to speed people's progress through them.Quote:

I agree that it wouldn't take long to increase your BH level and get the added storage space, but that doesn't mean this shouldn't be an option. There will be plenty of people who complain about not gettin all the loot, as JohnnyPC mentions, but if there's a warning in front of it, that's on them for being impatient.Quote:

SC is never going to allow overflow or partial rewards from the season pass and there’s no reason they should. Anyone hanging back on BH4 for enough time to hit 800K or 1.2M is so casual as to really not have a legitimate complaint about loot lost on the silver pass.
So, you're saying supercell is more likely to increase storage space than to allow partial rewards?Quote:

If you're intent on staying BH4, it's irrelevant what BB resources are rewarded.
Don't know if this has been mentioned or not already, but you could also get that 400k by gemming the last few bits of gold or elixir needed for an upgrade. Requires some forethought & planning, but if you spend a couple gems to complete the cost of an upgrade, it will empty your storages to zero and you can collect the reward.
Yes, but what if you have only 1000 elixir in your storage and the next bonus is a day away? This would be a problem especially if you're trying to save gems for a builder but.Quote:
