Oh yeah i forgot we can't move or remove obstacles in real or virtual life... Good point.
It's so much smart to move the entire base to the left than move a tree to the right.

MOVING/REMOVING obstacles has fees (elixir) that sometimes you have an obstacle (tree etc) costing 10000 (large tree) but you just had an upgrade bring your Elix to 1000... you wont be able to remove it at will until you farm for more elix, making you stay on the game for a few more minutes in order to get that 9000 E to remove an obstacle. SC will present you options
1) wait for elix from your harvester
2) attack bases for additional elix
3) use gems to boost either troops or harvesters to do 1 and 2
in any case you spent more time in game and possibly spend gem which SC likes
if you are sarcastically saying that in real life obstacles can be moved with out fee... yes no fee but with effort no matter how little
There are the obstacles in the game, and there are the decorations. Please make a difference between the two. About this idea, you can avoid having such issues if you'd know to control these obstacles spawn location.. when the season came, I spread out my base to cover every single 2x2 spot and only left free the ones from the margins. This helped the obstacles to only spawn where I wanted them. If you want to control the location of the obstacles, do it yourself and don't ask for a tree to simply move its location.
