My Builder Idea (Don't Judge Based On Title)

Sounds Great!

Work - What do you mean by this would they be working to gather resources or to simply make gathering faster please define the term "work" when yo u use this.

Apologize if this been explained already

I like the idea, but just 1 thing- Say it boosts the production by 2x, gemming it should increase it another 2x and make it 4x, not 3x. Would promote people to gem and do this at the same time, I'm sure it would help SC have more people gemming collectors (and getting the 5th builder)

This is an awesome idea that I've thought of before too, but I don't think SC would like people being to x2 boost production rate for free! :eek: I think the biggest production rate bonus SC would allow for free with builder huts would be x1.25 and then gemming can bring it to x2.5. Although everyone would of course prefer it to be x2 for free, tons of people will start not to gem and then SC will lose money!

Bump!

Great thread! It would be awesome if this was implemented, and I don't see many reasons why this would be bad for Clash of Clans or Supercell. They made walls have the option of being upgraded by elixir, so why not give builders the option of boosting mines/collectors/drills? Good for wall farmers who have maxed out everything else, Supercell make more money from the higher demand for builders, and just gives more options for a player's macro strategy overall!

Maybe lowering the boost rates or making a cost for builder boosting would be more ideal for the game in general, it balances out the advantages for Supercell and Clashers

Didn't read much besides OP. I think if supercell were to implement this it would be more balanced and if I were a developer I would do something like this:

1- work function lasts 24 hours, available at level 5. Builder cannot be removed during the 24 hours.
2- work function increases resource production by 50% and does not stack with boost.
3- one builder per mine, no limit on number of builders that can work mines.

Great idea that I wish supercell would implement.

Well thought out post, thumbs up for that. I think it sounds look a good idea. I would've bought a fifth builder if this feature was in the game earlier.

[Ashtagger]

Great Idea, you have my support!

[TrapezoidSteve]

I love this idea! However, I have one suggestion. I think mines and collectors should only have a 1.5x boost. My reasoning behind this is that if a player can pay a small number of gems to boost it to 2x, why have another option with the same boost effectivity that doesn't cost gems? If it was 1.5x, it would still be better than having a sleeping builder, but it would be slightly worse than using gems. This way people would still have incentive to boost using gems, keeping SC from losing the profit they currently make from players boosting their collectors.

EDIT: Woah, that last sentence was a mouthful.
