Tool Shed Petition

Count me in!

I'm in! Sounds like a good idea.

Came in here to make the same request...my production needs to keep up with the boats, the town, the visitors, and the truck orders can't keep up because of all of the tools in my barn...LOVE the idea that storage increases with level!!!

If a player has trouble expanding the barn, then won't they also have trouble expanding their tool shed? I don't really feel this will solve the problem all that well.

I came in the forums to put in a request for a tool shed and I was so happy to see that someone has already started that. It has become very difficult to function and run the farm because the of all the new necessary tools that came with the expansion. Don' t take me wrong, I love the update and the train expansion but it is necessary to have a tool shed to separate all the tools from all the goods that we need to keep to load ships and supply for visitors.

please please take this suggestion very seriously because it is extremely hard to run the farm now with the lack of storage.

Thank you

I feel this is a great idea as it can be often very difficult to farm with a barn full of tools, as well as this it can also be very difficult to find the amount of tools you have and need. One collective building for this would of course be very beneficial.

I understand many feel that the game should be a challenge and it would continue to do so, as for starters you should have to purchase the 'tool shed' (so forth those who don't want it don't have to have it) and in capacity instead of releasing more expansion tools, the capacity of the tool shed should increase as your level does.

Basically I wish to start a petition and gather as many signatures as physically possible to prove to Supercell that this is on very high demand. I will continue to update the thread with all the signatures.

It has also been brought to my attention that sooner or later most people will struggle and their farm will go into deadlock. There are too much materials now and so it is extremely difficult to store any amount of each and still be serving those in your town and filling boat and truck orders. It is also very difficult to keep your farm functioning. Please SuperCell we NEED a tool shed in the next update, so farms can be kept functional.

From personal experience, I am struggling to keep materials to expand both my barn and silo as well as land and all of the town buildings. I am also at the stage now where my items are piling up by my machines as I obviously want to keep them producing at all times and I am also having a nightmare to keep the animals fed as such as I have no space in my barn for the animal food and produce, so forth its becoming very difficult and I do not want to sell big ticket items for the sake of someone from my town perhaps needing them, I am slowly loosing patients and interest in the game, so please let us have a shed for all materials, please?

Thank you, and feel free to build on this general must have idea!

Not necessarily. You get to a point of diminishing returns where the amount of mats far exceeds the space they give you. I am getting close to needing 90 mats to expand my barn (30 of each) and as it is only giving me 25 slots it is just not worth it anymore. Then we add the mats that don't expand the barn and silo at all, L/TEMs, saws, axes, dynamite, TNT and shovels.

A way to make them go for it could be to appeal to their profits. It has to be worth it to them as well. To do this I would make the tool shed work along the same lines as the RSS for storage. You start with 6 bins that can hold 10 items, and thing put here will not be able to be sold. to expand the bins make them cost diamonds at the same rate that the farm production buildings.

They have to make the money so that we can continue to play the game and to add updates and so on. This means the idea of it making them some profit is not at all distasteful to me.

All in all I support the idea of a tool shed.

Point is, once you use the BEMs to expand, you regain that space. So you are not correct that you don't benefit from expanding. For instance, let's say your barn space is 500, and you need 90 items to expand. Yes, then in short term, you'll use up 90 space but only get 25 back. Bad investment? Well, after 4 upgrades, you'll have used 90 space (disregarding the slight increase each time you upgrade) but will have gained 100 space. So basically, you invested those 90 space, but after that point, every time you upgrade comes free (almost, because amount increases by 3 each time, which will be your continued payment, so to speak).

As others have said, adding a tool shed will not really solve the problem. This is because:

• Tool shed will itself use materials to upgrade, thus making it redundant (now you pay to upgrade toolshed instead of upgrading barn)
• Tool shed will be less flexible, because you won't have the option to put something else in it in the times where you don't have tools (for instance, right after you upgrade barn, you can stockpile other things, and then gradually substitute them with tools as you get closer to next upgrade)
• Tool shed will most likely reduce the number of expansion materials listed in daily deal dramatically, which will make it harder for you to find materials to upgrade
• Removing challenges from games don't make them more fun, quite on the contrary, once all challenges are left from game, you're likely to lose interest in them and move on to new games. Easy isn't always fun.

For that reason, I'm against the idea of a tool shed.
