    Mini Builder Interface

    If you are like me and my clan mates then you'll like this. I can never seem to find all my builders. I know they are working on something but can't quite locate them in my base. This will fix that.

    On the top of the screen is the mini builder menu which tells you if you have idle builders. The plus button is rather meaningless as it just brings you to the shop. I propose re-purposing the plus button.

    Imagine it this way. You click the plus button and that opens a drop down box with 5 slots. Each slot shows the item being worked on and the time remaining. If you click the slot the structure being worked on by that builder is brought to focus (as if you had clicked on it). If you do not have 5 builders those slots show a plus that will take you to where you can purchase additional builders.

    What do you think? Do you lose track of your builders like me?

    Based on the Read Before You Post sticky thread, it has as a possible Graphical Interface Related improvement, of "Clicking on the "+" next to Builder icon/graphic brings up screen showing all builds/times/etc"

    So, think Supercell heard it before. But still, nice idea!

    Not needed for such a small layout. Also, it does show idle builders at the top. I'm sorry that you and your clan mates are having such a hard time managing 5 or most likely 4 builders but no changes are necessary to the current system.

    Funny... if not needed, then why is it listed as a possible idea that maybe added by Supercell, and.. you know, not listed as ruled out?

    Yes. Hilarious.

    It maybe added if there is enough interest. Been gradually getting a bit harder to quickly spot all four (sometime soon 5) Builders, and check the times, especially with other progress bars and times being listed for CC, King, Spells, Lab, and Troops. Even though you know about those other progress bars, glancing around for your Builder's progress bars is like a Where's Waldo search when raiding, since it is very easy to be distracted by the other stuff.

    It isn't needed, but like the listing of base numbers, it just makes it easier to track things, and improves game play. Besides, that [+] button isn't doing anything useful. Like Builders are bought regularly.
