GOLD and ELIXER!!!

Where does gold and elixir come from?
From my experience in this game, it seems that these two resources come from resource collectors and single player missions. After someone has collected these resources, it then goes to their storages.

Now, when Gold/Elixer is in a storage area (Gold storage or Elixer storage), anyone who raids that person get a 30% deduction of what is within.

However, when someone attacks a Gold mine or an Elixer collector, they will get 100% of what it has inside.

This is where all the resources in the game come in.

With the previous update where supercell put a 75% deduction on Town Hall owners 2 level's or more below you, they simultaniously reduced the amount of Gold/Elixer to be raided from other opponents. The resin for this is that, even though people now don't pick on lower levels for resources anymore, they still attack them for trophies.

If supercell truly wants to balance the game, then in the update that we've just experienced, they should have provided faster Gold collecting speeds for the gold mines, and the same for Elixer Collectors. Another simple thing they could have done, is added more upgrades for Gold mines/Elixer collectors to, again enhance collecting speeds, and therefore add more resources into the servers.

So, please, if anyone from Supercell is reading this could you maybe just add a 10% increase in Gold/Elixer collecting speeds.

Anyone who is wanting to give up or hasn't yet upgraded their resource collectors to lv 10. I ask you to please upgrade them. And if you are considering selling all your buildings, then at least refrain from doing selling your resource collectors to at least give the rest of us a shot.

Thank you for your time, and seriously supercell. If you were to add a 10% collecting speed you would also be adding 10% more on average to loot. It's basic maths, really.
Cheers!

The more gold they will give out will just be spent on upgrades - I would still leave nothing for looting unless I was saving for an upgrade. 80% of the gold I spend comes from looting, not the mines.

I think I'm wrong on this, so deleting for now, need to test...

Is this verified? Just want to make sure.

I had this question for a while.
Thanks.

I need to do some more testing when I get home, but I see this:

1) In your OWN town, the bars in upper right do not reflect what is in the collectors. So when you are presented to an enemy, does it only look at your available (the bars) when factoring loot?

2) When raiding villages, I CAN get 100% out of the collectors

What I don't know for sure is how the collector amount is factored into the total available and the % to be looted. When I attack the collectors, the available loot does count down, so what you see in the match is factoring in collector amount. There is 2 ways I can see they factor:

Let's say for whatever reason, you are allowed to loot 25% of the person

If they have 1 million in storage and 200k in all the collectors, are you "presented with"

A) 25% of 1.2M combined for total of 300,000 to loot - which means when you empty the 200k in collectors, the storage will give up 100k?

B) 25% of the 1M in storage, then 100% of the 200k in collectors for 450k total - so you empty the 200k in collectors, and the storage will give up 250k

- How can u tell you are getting 100% out of collectors when attacking?

- Some people have said they lost 60% of what they had (assuming in storage). So do we know if 25% or 30% is the real available loot?

This is all very confusing.

I'll see how much I lose from attacks on my mines... think I can figure out based on the last time I collected from it, time I get attacked, and how much I collect afterwards.

It is somewhat hard if they aren't full, but when I hit full ones, you can see the available loot count down by the max that collector level can hold. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but for example, when I start hitting a full level 10, I can watch 100k get removed from the available loot.

I just don't know how that 100k factors into the total, overall available for that attack - see my 2 scenario questions above.

Clarification from rauta would be handy

I often log off with zero resources.

When i get attacked and log back in ........ if all pumps mines are destroyed my resources still read zero.

I posted about this a couple of weeks ago and it is fact that you get 100% from mines/pumps that you destroy...... this is from someone on the wrong end of the attack lol.

how often will collectors be storing before either you move it to storage or an attacker comes along? often times, i would say I would count the attack time in minutes. makes 100% win from collectors that much less exciting...
