Rumours says obstacle spawns every 8hours, but the fact is supercell reduce the obstacle spawning time. Why? It is because of the new gem rate of obstacle. it spawns every 12 hours. 2 obstacle per day.

Obstacles spawn every 8 hours. When they spawn they spawn on a pre-determined position on your map. If there is a building/trap/decoration currently on that square the obstacle WILL NOT SPAWN and the 8 hour timer will reset. Hypothetically, if your village was completely blank one obstacle would spawn every 8 hours.
I didn't notice any reduction in spawn rate, my village is still full with obstacles before a free builder.
I did notice a significant increase in gem reward from obstacles in general though. As in i'm getting a lot more gems per week from obstacles compared to previously.
Obstacles spawn every 8 hours as long as there is room on your map
Master of time and space. See that he watched an obstacle spawn then Went 8hours into the future to verify another spawned.
honestly though you can generally believe the populous around here as SC doesn't hide changes they make to the game. They are open with every update I've seen and spell out the changes for people.
I'm very happy that supercell posted on a thread. That means they are aware "now" hoping that everyday, they communicate on the forum. So that players can get any answers from supercell.
Maybe be a shocker but they have answered the vast majority of player's questions. Be it via sticky,in game notifications, change logs, forum posts, interviews, etc.... They just don't tend to repeat themselves as I imagine they understand that would be too time consuming.
Steve made this entire thread a lol for me. Thanks Steve!
Nope... I get 3 every time I log on in the morning, and 1 throughout the day.... I'm at 1040+ :eek:
Well then, I'll take another grape soda!
The truth is...nothing has changed. They still give out exactly 2.0 gems on average, my findings over weeks of data collection.
Yes it is but it's not consistent. i used to think that as long as there is a space for obstacle, it will spawn there. be it anywhere on the map as long as there is enough space. I was completely wrong.
Check my thread in my signature for detailed stats.
your statement is true, but not informative enough, hence such misunderstandings ;)
So to summarize your thread. Obstacles spawn at a rate of 8 hours, they need a spot to spawn with a buffer if 1 space between them and any other object, and finally as a player ads more to his base the first two rules cause a decrease in obstacles that spawn?
So eh what is the spawn rate? 8'hours.
Interesting findings, thanks for the research!
i knew something wasn't adding up right... In 2 weeks i will have played Clash for 1 1/2 yrs (late Aug 2012). If i really spawned 3 objects/day + original 40 to start, I should have a Nice & Tidy achievement close to 1700. Instead, mine says 942. This achievement has been around since the beginning, so it should be accurate.
btw, i just cleared 5 trees i was originally saving (which i usually don't do). Got 0 gems, 0 gems, 0 gems, 5 gems, 0 gems.
Functioning as designed :rolleyes:
Haven't had a new obstacle grow since Christmas :( But that's because presents surround my base lol
On the 4th Dec 2013 i posted in this thread
http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/175159-Clash-of-Clans-Top-Landscapers?highlight=landscapers
Then I had removed 731 obstacles with 16 still on my base = 747
Today I have removed 831 with 33 on my base = 864
864 - 747 = 117 obstacles have spawned in 99 days
This is only 1.18 obstacles a day for me, or 1 every 20.3 hours
I have always had space for more to spawn and have cleared everything except pine trees on the boarder as soon as a builder has become available.
Also I started playing 16th Feb 2013
864 minus the original 40 thats on your base = 824
824 in 390 days is 2.11 per day
or one every 11.37 hours
Edit; I hadn't quite finished the neat and tidy achievement when the profile update came out, so I didn't lose any there.
I have two accounts, one for Android and one on iOS and Android in the double obstacles appear and also give more gems.
Be that iOS users have more money to buy gems.
Why is this thread all about trees ?
What I really miss are the stones and rocks !
If had known back then, that they won't come back like the trees do, I would never have removed them :(
On my Mini I made sure not to get rid of the rocks !
Regardless of how many spawn on your base the rate is still held at 3 per day or 1 every 8 hours. They could get cancelled out. There are multiple posts on the forums and a few replies by me and Steve that give the info.
If you get lucky they will spawn in the open areas of your village but they might not.
Thanks for the agreement Goose and great thread!
The time bug doesn't affect obstacle spawn rates as far as I know. You can read up on the subject and ask a question on the forums but I do not believe this is a fact.
