[Sheet] Building Movement Costs

[Kikkah]

As the most of know that the "Building Movement" is in the dev diary and they are testing it now on tsotest.

I my self got quite a few people who asked for the prices of these placement but i could never find a full list of these buildings and there movement prices.

So i made up a sheet for all you people that tells what you need from level 1-5.

Here is the link
Building Movement Costs (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkRdxncWSR27dHZ0S1RWNVdYNkVuRVp5MFRZZGFlb Hc)

The sheet is updated and has a new layout.
(Layout used from Sinister-King)

The buildings are now placed in tabs like in the game it self.
- Basic Buildings
- Intermediate Buildings
- Advanced Buildings
- Expert buildings
* Gems/Event Buildings

The sheet is not fully updated due the amount of time it take to upgrade certain buildings (Mostly the level 35+ Buildings)
Do keep in mind that these prices can change at anytime and that i might not have updated it yet.

I hope these helps.

Thank you very much, this is handy :).

So disgusted with BB over the cost of moving buildings.

Many of us have been living on the promise of moving buildings since January so rather than destroy low level buildings we continued to upgrade many of our buildings as is, on the belief that we could move them in the near future - albeit at a cost.

Now seeing these costs makes my blood boil - upto 1500coin to move a Level 5 building is crazy. If theres anything thats gonna make me leave the game its this....

BB have been promising us a move function for ages so we continue to invest and upgrade as is and then we are being penalised (through move costs) for having upgraded - wish I had just kept everything at L4 and saved the coin and granite.

I want to move many of my buildings, some I will have to move to a temp spot whilst reformating my island and then move to the new spot - sounds very, very expensive and not going to happen - BB can forget any any continued support from me either in this forum or with my wallet...

@Sinister-King Thanks for the feedback, if you like anything added or changed let me know.

@Fishslice Yeah the level 5 movement is quite exspensive indeed. It will cost allot of GC to move all of those buildings =/

Hi Fishslice,

I can understand your current feelings. May I offer a thought please ... I'm reasonably sure I understand the business model that BB are working to on TSO. If my assumption is correct then they are in for a rough ride which will start in about 12 months time. I realise by then you will have moved on to greener pastures. I suspect I will to. For the time being I have set myself a budget to play the game and I have set myself some timeline boundaries which I will be flexible about if I see the walls that currently surround BB's perceived value of their game begin to align themselves with my pocket.

You and I need to raise the value we place on our time and not let BB's business plan and model frustrate us anymore than it already is :-)

If I may leave you with an awful cliche. It is what it is and we are where we are ;-)

Best
Nuttymut :-)

UPDATE:

- New layout on the sheet thanks to Sinister-King.
- All the buildings are listed now
- Added a few new levels to certain buildings that where missing.

Kikkah - New format looks much nicer and easier to read. It's appreciated (well be myself for sure) that you put the information together as it's good for the game to have people like yourself who devote time offline as well as online to putting this data together. The frustration at the prices is very much down to BB and their attitude to players.

I've supported them elsewhere on this forum with regards to their prices for gem related goods but this is the last straw for me regarding investing money in the game. I feel like I have been reaching for a very attractive carrot for many months only to find that I am being beaten by the stick instead.

BB should have at least introduced a flat fee for building movements for say 1 month whilst everyone who has continued to invest in their island with a view to be able to use a promised future move function can do so. After that they can charge what they want.

I still feel 'emotionally' ripped off by BB and so will be saying goodbye to that old friend 'The Trader Shop - Gem Buying Section'.

Nuttymut - If BB continued to invest in the game and its levels, I would more than likely still be here in 12 months, probably still buying gems and supporting the great guild I am proud to be a member of but given this latest update - I wouldnt be surprised to see my time here measured in weeks rather than months.....

@fishslice

Thanks for the feedback. This game does have improvements here and there.
The prices for level 1-4 movement are reasonable just the level 5 which is expensive. Some buildings even cost 1000 Coins to swap place.

I didn't mention the gem prices in the sheet as i guess nobody will do it for gems anyway they ask allot of gems to move certain buildings these gems could be spend otherwise.

[fishslice]

@kikkah - Never having been on the test server I have no idea of the gem prices but to be honest I always assumed it would be like 5-10gems to move a building which all people could do with the free login bonus gems. Having seen the prices in your spreadsheet I am assuming its hundreds of gems per L5 building which goes back to my previous comment regarding BB encouraging people to expand their messy islands rather than rebuild earlier on as the move function was just around the corner.

Could you give me an example of a L5 Farm move cost in gems please?

Regards,
fishslice

[Sinister-King]

To move a L5 Farm = 537 Gems

[fishslice]

Yep - definitely time to reconsider grrrr

[BB_Azariel]

Hi guys,

Thanks for your feedback on this. I will notify BB that you feel the price for moving buildings is too high.

Best,

Hey, it is not that difficult to calculate a fair price for moving a building. What is the added value for moving a building? It is probably around 10-20%, depending if the original location is fair or really awful. So the cost for moving it should be around 5-10% of the price of that building.
Next problem please.;)

Sounds quite fair - I'd personally increase the costs or add a secondary one (bread & sausages) if you're moving sector too

[Kikkah]

The level 1-3/4 are reasonable already in my eyes.

Its mainly the level 5 buildings which cost allot of resources.

Quick news: The prices for the move buildings feature will be reduced when the feature is implemented in the game (16th of August).
I have no further information for the moment but I do know that your thoughts on this issue were heard ;)

[Kikkah]

BB_Azariel, will these changes also be made on TSOtest before going life?

Awesome, thank you :)

Having lived with lvl 3 buildings for months, I quite happily bit the bullet and knocked them down, + all the ones in the way for new placements and then rebuilt the lot up to lvl 3 again . . .

So why do it? Well after lvl 37 the game goes into mega slow mode and resources build up, so I always have more than enough resources to knock down and rebuild 30 farms if I so wish (and their fields!)

I haven't moved any buildings which cost coins to upgrade (obvious reasons!)

I have listened to people wanting to move buildings since December, usually those starting at lvl 3 wanting to move and same people ignoring advice over placement and numbers of buildings and I have always suspected that the movement function would not be cheap, either in resources or in gems - BB do after all have to show a profit else they go bust! - and have realised that you can't easily move one building without moving 2 or 3 more . . .

Patience is the name of the game!

[Kikkah]

Well as it has confirmed they are making it cheaper i guess the prices will be oke,

For me the prices where fine already just the level 5 buildings did cost allot of coins do.
