Finding a builder

Is it just me - but playing on a phone I sometimes find it difficult to find my builders amongst all the clutter around the village. I am a TH8 and I can only imagine this getting worse the bigger the village gets.

I wonder if it is possible to make a button to click which opens a summary of what all your builders are doing.
Similar pop up to the Army Overview. In here it would have a row for each builder showing what they are doing and how long until their task is complete. I do not want to boost or do anything... I just want a quick way to find them and see at a glance when my builders are becoming free. Instead of taking up any further space on the screen, I would propose the builders face icon located top centre become the button to action this new pop up.

Option two if my preferred route is too complicated... Can we change their attire? Have them wearing yellow High Viz jackets, that way we can spot them in the village much easier.

(I checked for this idea elsewhere before posting and could not find anything similar)

I play on an iPad and have trouble spotting them at times as well. I am TH10 so lots of "clutter". The high-viz vest idea made me laugh. Maybe if we could click on the builder count area along the top to highlight the active builds in some way. Would be a nice to have something.

Hello, welcome to the forums. Please read the stickies on the main page before posting, for you will find that this is ruled out.

*Add a counter when all builders are busy to indicate when first one will be free

I having two th8 accounts agree with this very much.

Already ruled out man, sorry.

^I like this!

Maybe they could set out some orange cones too.

Hi,
I fail to see how this request about finding a builder is related to a countdown to when next builder is free. I can understand why the countdown was discounted for design reasons, firstly taking up valuable screen real estate and secondly the processing of the ticking countdown timer.

If this is discounted because of some imaginative advantage of knowing when your builders are becoming free then drop that feature but still show us a summary of what they are doing.
And what about the alternative request... Simply make them more visible?

How about a third option as NitroBlast suggests? By clicking on their face at the top centre, it makes them flash on screen? I just want to find them.
