    Laboratory research

    I tried to search and see if this has been posted before, please forgive me if I missed it.
    I would like to see the ability to queue research on at least one more troop/spell.
    It may not sound like much, but I believe it would be helpful to eliminate laboratory
    idle time. When my clan mates and I farm, it is to build up enough gold or elixer to keep our builders busy along with our laboratory. A lot of the upgrade time is the same for various things, 5 days or 4 days as an example. With 3 or 4 builders coming free at the same time and a research being completed, it sometimes makes having the resources available very difficult.
    I know it is possible to stagger your builders and I do when possible, nonetheless it seems researching all the available troops takes longer than upgrading all the buildings. Being able to queue research would help with what I believe to
    be the longest delay in upgradeing my TH. I am sure I am not alone in the fact that I like to upgrade everything before moving up in TH.
    (sometimes I do slack on my walls though)
    Thank You for reading this, and any constructive criticism this post my recieve

    Currently ruled out:

    Other Buildings Related:
    *Gem mines/drills
    *Wizard Laboratory to create/upgrade wizard projectiles/spells
    *Add a second laboratory or a second slot in current lab to do two researches at once
    *Queue upgrades/builds
    There's a number of differences about lab from other buildings, such as if you start an upgrade you can't cancel it. They often cost a massive amount, and that amount being available (saved up) for potential raiders is important for the economy. That is, queuing is a way to hide lots of loot. There's a notification for when the upgrade is done, so save the money, plus a bit of change, and wait for that notification. Login, go.

    Thank you

    I did see the ruled out portion you posted, I apologize that I misunderstood that to apply only to queuing of building upgrades.
    I also have read several posts about "upsetting" the balance of the economy for gold and elixer, when referring to giving it to other players. Unlike the giving or sharing, I believed that no matter when I used that elixer, (whether queuing one additional troop/spell), or farming it all while staying online, would be accounted for and not upset any balance that existed.
    Again Thank You for your speedy reply, and may your hog riders never find a big bomb.
