Gem Mines 😃

[Herpacleese]

Can't you make a gem mine and these are the rules
-Cost 1,000,000 elixir
-5 gems an hour and only a total of 10 hours per day
-works one day and then the other day it doesn't and so on
-So it's 200 gems a week
-Everytime the mine makes 50 gems you need to fill it with 50,000 elixir for the next time so it's 1,000 elixir per gem
-When the mine is full it lights up green
-you can pay a extra of 5,000 elixir per time it makes 50 so that attackers can destroy it but not take the gems
-attackers only get 5% of the gems without what we can call "insurance"
-town hall 7 and higher
I know this idea has been out there but this is my version
PLUS it's not ruled out

The idea of a gem drill is on the sticky, but this is original enough I guess. Instead of having different times its functional, the production rate should just be lowered. It should cost 2m elixir and 100k to load, and maybe give 1 gem per hour and then one more per upgrade. This would keep "free" (they would cost elixir, not real $) gems low enough that people would still want to buy. Here's what I guess it could be like:

Lvl1:
2m elixir to build
2d build time
1 gem/hour
500 hp
5% can be stolen
100,000 elixir to load, works for 24 hrs
TH7

Lvl2
3m elixir to upgrade
3d build time
2 gems/hour
550 hp
5% can be stolen
150,000 to load, works for 24 hrs
TH7

And so on...

Each level holds however many it would make in 24 hrs, forcing you to collect every day if you want more. Every level costs 1m more, and takes 1d longer to build. Gets 50 more hp, 1 more gem per hour. 50,000 more elixir to load.

I don't know why it's elixir. Elixir is already used for both gold mines and DE drills, so why not gold, or dark elixir? If it was DE I would change the prices accordingly.

Again, I'm sorry, but if, in your suggestion, I forget to pay for the insurance, I'm out money. Nobody has the right to steal real money from me because I may be forgetful.

You can already to spend elixir to get gems regularly. This is dumb.

Any gems you buy with money would be safe, just 5% of gems in the mine can be stolen. Maybe they shouldn't be available to loot at all, so then there won't be "gem farmers". I don't think the insurance thing is really needed if this ever were to happen.

They won't do this. Why should they make it easier to get gems.

They won't do this. Why should they make it easier to get gems.

My suggestion is at least slightly reasonable... Still very unlikely.

Take your own advice

Read the sticky before posting
This has Been ruled out they won't do this

A gem mine isn't ruled out but what you posted isn't a mine, it's a resource converter. You put elixir in to make it operational and gems pop out. Calling it something else doesn't change what it is.

Now that I read that it's true. Maybe it shouldn't have to be loaded. However, gems can be converted to elixir and gold so well see how that turns out.

This will never happen, it's too much free gems they will think they are giving out, and every gem is important opportunity to profit real cash for them so I doubt they want to give more free gems, word is they are already planning on removing obstacles (tress, bushes, trunks, ect.) and replacing gem rewards from achievements with elixer/gold rewards in the next update.
