All about the new collector level. Stats, ROI etc

For me collectors first. After 63 days, it's 144K (total for 12 collectors) bonus each day forever.

Not sure how exactly you came to that number, here are my calculations:
Gold lost: 3000gold/hr*24hr/day*5 days= 360,000 gold lost
Re-acquisition:500 gold/hr*24hr/day*#days=360,000 gold regained
Solving gives a break-even point at 30 days, less than half of your original calculation. Not only did you neglect that you make up 500 gold per hour rather than gold per day which you used, you must have made another mistake as well because even if that quantity was used the result would be 72 days. Always check your work.

That's a stretch...

Actually it does (a bit though). I would say its a step in the right direction.

Collector capacity is increased to 200K now from 150K, so 25K more resources from full collectors. Similar logic applies to the increased capacity of DE drills. You can loot more.

It will take 2 months before the effects of this step start bearing fruit. This is assuming everyone updates 1 collector at a time. I am doing two.

I think I need to up mine soon :/

Assuming good and elixir are equal, and mine is down for 5 days, costs 336000, and then produces an extra 500 an hour.

((5x24x3000)+336000)/500 = 1392 hours

Call me short sighted, builders still idle here.

Fixed that for you my friend

That's your opinion, when you look at the big picture you're missing out on quite a lot of free loot that is effortlessly acquired when you don't have maxed collectors.

Oops, sorry. Should have read the forums instead of jumping on to post

Jesus H. Tapdancing christ. A lot of people have trouble with simple mathematics.

The maximum loot potentialp from collectors just went up by 175k
The loot potential for an inactive coming from a 12 hour shield went up by 42k from 252k to 294k
Your maxium loot output has increased by 84k per day, or 17% increase.
Storages will fill 17% faster even with active players

Multiply that by either/and the days you play and all the raids you do and it's a huge increase. No, you won't notice this immediately you impatient little snots. For once think about the bigger picture.

Upgrade those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s for yourself and for the rest of us.

For me it's simple...
4 builders doing nothing...
Been busy through the holiday season
Loot just sitting in bank...

Builders now busy!
