Tool Shed Petition

First of all wouldn't you start out, out of space if we did happen to get the tool shed. This means we would have to upgrade it multiple times just to be able to hold our currents supplies. Also we would now have to upgrade 3 buildings with the current BEM and SEMs not to mention the new TEM coming in. By getting this tool shed you might be making it harder on your selves.

You can add my name to the list as well.

I'm going to have to disagree with this. Having a tool shed to store expansion materials will just encourage hoarding these. If you're having difficulties with storage sell off the excess or focus on one expansion at a time. This is supposed to be a resource management game and if everyone just hoards their expansion materials in a tool shed we're discouraging the trading we should be doing to balance out the distribution of these materials. I've reached level 65 and have 1100 storage in my barn/silo. They still end up full but that's why we have the road side shop and the newspaper.

In the main thread I mention that the size of the tool shed would increase as your level increases so suitable capacities would have to be created for each level and then you would have to manage the tool shed like you would your barn and silo. I also feel that if this was enforced we would buy the shed at our current level and it would automatically contain the amount set for the level that you are on.

Yes I understand where your coming from, but these are our expansion items most of which we have earned or traded and so I honestly don't see the problems with hoarding. With the new town I just feel it a nightmare to produce enough to fufill town orders, boat orders and those who come to the farm to buy stuff. Whats the point in playing a game if you can only focus on one part of it (eg the town) rather than the whole game.

What is the suitable capacity and how is that determined? You can have 2 vastly different level 60 players: one who has hardly any tools and one who hoards many tools. The quantity of tools the shed can hold is fixed when we buy the tool shed, as you stated above. If the latter of the level 60 players who has lots of tools buys this new shed and the shed is too small to accommodate all of their tools, what happens?

Additionally, I pose some food for thought questions here to help in understanding this idea better :).

These two questions have to do with post-shed implementation.

Situation 1 with questions: You have a level 30-ish person with a huge barn. Would their capacity meet their barn size? Suppose their barn is at 1900. How is their size determined? Is it based on an average of barn sizes based on that level? If so, what do they do with their excess tools? Would they be forced to sell/give away their tools based on a pre-determined tool shed size OR can they use their barn to store excess tools to avoid being forced to sell their tools? Is using your barn an option with this idea? Or is it tool shed only?

Situation 2 with questions: You have a level 70 farmer. This farmer has a small barn for their level but their pre-determined tool shed says they can hold many more tools than their barn size, which is, say 600. They are loving this new shed because they can store more tools than they could with their barn. Or can they? What's their capacity?

Who sets these levels and the most important quesion is what do you do with tools once your tool shed is full? If you are in a predicament where you can almost upgrade your barn or silo what do you do? Or are these tool sheds really large in capacity at each level to avoid being forced to sell or give away tools? Or can you use the barn as back-up to avoid that entirely?

I have more questions but I guess I need to know an example of the sizes of tool sheds. :)

Yes please this is really needed

I think this is a wonderful idea.

Yes yes and yes!!!
