Proposed Builder Change

Hello!

Today I would like to bring up the idea of a change to the way builders work in Clash of Clans.

One of two scenarios usually plays out for me
A.) I find myself with idle builders, especially at higher levels
B.) All my builders are active and I'm left for days without a builder.

I not arguing that having active builders is a bad thing, I'd just like a little bit more control over what they are actually doing.

What I propose is this - Allow players to use more than 1 builder on buildings/upgrades OR allow me to boost the building time similar to the way we boost troops.

1 builder = normal build time
2 builders = +10% production
3 builders = +20% production
4 builders = +35% production
5 builders = +50% production

Those percents are probably not very realistic, but you get the point.

Or

10 Gems = 24 hour x% boost to production of buildings/upgrades.

This encourages people to have more builders, encourages gem spending, and I gain more freedom/control of my builders!

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks,
Tetelestai

Multiple builders on one project is ruled out. A boost for builders is under consideration. But don't hold your breath waiting for it to get added.

Do you know why or maybe have a link? Thanks for the response.

i don't believe Supercell has ever come out with a statement on it. But it has everything to do with gem sales. Speeding up builds with extra workers like you proposed would cut into players desire to gem things finished. Supercell actually counts on players getting impatient.

That's true, but you could just as easily make the boost cost any one of the 3 resources which would ultimately increase gem sales. Hell, you could even allow me to activate the boost for 5 gems or something and I would gladly pay.

I agree that they should add a boost option for each builder with gems. Even if it was 100 gems for 24hr boost per builder or 20 gems for 2hr boost per builder I'd do it. Currently most players don't spend gems on auto-finishing upgrades because it requires too many gems, and adding an ability to boost builders would increase gem spending (and consequently gem purchasing) by many players, me included.

If you have only two Builders, I got nothing.

But if you have three or more, here's what I recommend.

For three Builders, have one on a long, big upgrade/build (3+ days) and one on a smaller, shorter build (2 days or less). Your extra builder can be used for Walls and Obstacles (trees, trunks, Gem Boxes, etc.) (I currently am on this. I will do the below once I get them.)

For four Builders, repeat the above, except have two on big builds.

For all five, have two on big, two on small, and one extra.

You don't have to follow this, but this is what I recommend.

I like the idea.
