Builder Flag to show what builder is doing now

I was thinking that is might be a good idea to have a flag that shows where a builder is working (maybe with an arrow or something on the hut).

Each thing being upgraded has a timer over it. Isn't that conspicuous enough?

On your own base, yes. But it is sometimes difficult to find the builder on other bases. If one would need to...

the problem is if you have things close together you can lose the timer in the background (think of a mine being upgraded surrounded by other mines/extractors). Plus you have 4 other things that have timer displays (barracks , Dark barracks, spell factory and research lab).

so which one of the dozen? timers on your village is the builder closest to completion?

I don't think they should put a beacon on defenses that are being upgraded.

Lose a timer in the background? Can you screenshot this scenario? I have never had trouble reading a timer. I'm not really buying into your sea of timers scenario either. The color of the progress bars between builder timers and barracks timers are totally different. Builder timers are green. Barracks timers are yellow. Furthermore buildings under construction are visibly different.

I understand what the OP is saying. I have had the same problem, however, it is probably more of a problem of me just looking too hard. A flag is probably not something many people need

Maybe, if SC would have ever time for it. When selecting a builder's hut, the status of all builders are shown in the info screen.

I agree with dahimi on this, that's just inviting an attack when people see that you mage tower or AA or any other major defense is down, if someone cant find what's being upgraded in the 30 seconds before the battle starts that is their own fault i feel.
