Locate those builders!!!

I have found it kinda aggravating to try and find all of my builders and see all the times they have left to work. As my base has gotten more complicated and bigger I have found it harder and harder to find all the builders. I think an improvement could be made. I like to strategize the growth of my community. I do like that if you want to build something there will be a pop up stating the cheapest option to free up a builder, but that doesn't tell me what the builder is doing or where.

My Idea:
The builders head icon at the top of the game screen could be a click trigger that will drop down a menu listing all the 1-5 builders you may have. In that menu it will tell you briefly what each builder is are working on, and length of time left, separately so you can see exactly what each builder is doing. If you select one of those builders on the menu the screen zooms and redirects you to the builder selected so you can see his work.

I actually think this could be cool but really not that much needed

There is already a gigantic bar above each upgrading building. Get glasses if you cant see that:smirk:

Im almost sure you got this idea from samurai siege

Not that neccesary to work on.

THIS WORKS
--------
zoom out all the way
don't focus your eyes on any one thing
just observe the whole screen at the same time
think about what the bar above an upgrading building looks like and you will see all of them

this also works for anything---u can find all the rcher towers or cannons or air d.......anything
it works good when searching for a base to attack too. cause u can see where certain defenses r pretty fast.

Five builders aren't that hard to locate, I haven't ever had one problem trying to find which one of my buildings is being upgraded, and I have four builders. If it were more like 300 builders this might be reasonable.

Agree. It can e very hard to find the builders. The gigantic green bar is pretty small.

Selecting a builders hut should highlight the builders, and/or you should be able to flick through the builders, to review what building is being upgraded, from what level to what, and how long is left

If you have 5 builders going, 2 heroes recovering, 7 racs going, Lab and cc timing out, it will get messy. You wont be able to just look at that bar beacuse there will be 3852 bars on the screen

I understand your point, i've had this "problem" too so its kinda recognisable.

As far as i understand i don't think its needed. If i picture it well i don't want extra stuff
on my screen and i like the buttons that are there now.

Another thing, as people are very close to maxing their current TownHall you might not
have all of the builders occupied meaning you have allot of extra stuff on the screen for
nothing ;)

when you select a builder's hut, you only get the info icon. Why not add to it?

When you select a builder's hut, and let's say you have 5 builders, you get 5 icons (right of the info icon) of the building being built with a gem count and time remaining. And if you select the icon, it uses gems to complete the building.

So essentially, you can see everything you are building, the time it takes to complete and you can choose what you want to speed up (with gems) by simply selecting one of your builder's huts.

While I don't find it really a problem especially from phone screen I've been searching my builders for a while wondering what are they doing as I can't see them. I suppose cleanest way would be to highlight building builder is working on when builder hut is selected - no any additional menus, options or other distracting complexity needed.

But as it's not much of an issue I doubt this would be implemented.

And my eyesight is very bad, yes.
