we got more land to build on now we need more

[Danny3636]

Hey i am posting this in game suggestion,hope its the right Place for it,we waited very long to get more room to build on..and i hope the bluebyte team is alredy planning on adding more land to build on in the future,i myself have non more room to build on..so it would be Nice With some more Space now i think:))

anyway thats all happy settling all:)

[Xibor]

Do you mean more beyond the archipelago?

[LordBosse]

Yes, need more land beyond the archipelago.

[TheVictorious]

to be honest the space that archipelago added is not productive.

[sortrumlegomand]

I could also use some more space, i do have plenty af building licences left, and can buy aditional licences, so more space so i can sell a lot more in the trade office.
And have additional settlers on the islands will also work.

i do have plenty af building licences left

Similar, but its more of a problem for me to find something worth building than finding space for that.

If you min-max a little you should be able to fit in infrastructure capable of producing everything you need on the island alone, the only thing you may have problems with is the population (but still it seems that some people overdo it by ie. wasting space on expedition armies).

[Faststriker]

It all depends on how you play the game.
Some like to have big armies and room for loads of settlers, some like to do lot of trading, others (like me) like to have a well organized island that just make what is used on a daily basis and also an army size to match the use of units.

That being said I don't really see any reason to have more room than we have. Lets say they give us more building space, then after a year or so people will start to complain about not having enough room again. At some point enough must be enough.

Yes we do have loads of free licenses but why do we have that? Because of all the improved buildings that have been added to the game over the last years, this make the usage of license minimal. Also all different pop buildings we can have now that makes it possible to have even bigger armies are license free.

Hi! :)
You have described it perfectly.

You have no reason to need more space, Great, but ...
Do you think I should play like you?
Should I have the same island as you?
Each player is different and each player should have the possibility to condition their islands the more we like.


you will see, I want to decorate my island, Too I want it to be special to me :o
but If I want it to be special, I do not have enough space because I have the need to prioritize, :(
I want to decorate my island but I also want to do adventures, it is not incompatible, right?

So with my island decorated too I need settlers, housing, building, production,
I do not have enough space! :( Therefore I must have my decorations in the star, which in the end I am "Forced" to play as you and without my decorative buildings.
This is very sad for me. :(


Thanks for your attention. :o

[Faststriker]

I fully understand your view.


I have the need to prioritize
You are dead on with this part.

But I see it more like this.
Its like a small child that keeps asking for an ice within a hour after he/she has eaten the last one. Do you just give a child a new ice, no at some point you got to say NO more ice.
The principal is the same here, we got a bit more space at first with explosives, people used that space and started complaining about not enough space again, and what happens, we get archipelago. So now people have filled that out and start complaining again.

What I'm saying is that IF BB decide to give us more space at some point, then within a year someone else will come out and say the exact same thing again "We NEED more space". So when is there enough space??

Personally I would love more space to use my spare 150 licenses on. But there is definitely other things I would like to see in the game before that.
Like:
Skill trees for both island and gens as promised back when science was announced. Dev. diary for science (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/23767-Dev-Diary-Part-2-Science-System-and-more!)
A way to send production in barracks/PH from bottom to top
More usage for the water around our island, specific the huge "lake" at the corner of zone 3
Give bookbinder a production queue.
And then there is all the minor bugs that have been tormenting the game for a very long time.
That's just the first few ones from the top of my head.

Considering that this game is based around an economic simulation (yes of course many details of a true economy and infrastructure are missing but overall it is economic in nature) a very simple fact of any economy is how to balance resource/land availability and industry/living space. Every country in the world deals with it - some more than others. So achieving while working efficiently within a defined space is one of the challenges of both the real world and this game. I don't see any advantage in continuing to add more room indefinitely (because I agree it would be asked for over and over) and the players must make their individual choices how to use the limited space available.

That being said I think a few of the bushes that limit building placement are a bit silly - I wouldn't mind seeing a change in that respect.

[Larili]

As basically an economy game, there has to be limits, otherwise there is no individual challenge. Your right Maria_Espa, you have to prioritize your choices of how you play the game. There is a little room to manoeuver and play to an individual stile but every player has to play within a limit or there would be little point in playing.
There have always been calls for the removal of trees, shrubs, rocks to allow placing of buildings and make production chains uber efficient, but again, the challenge is making the best of what we are given. Faststriker is right, the more space BB give us the more we want. What they have done is reduced the bottle neck that the old island would have faced when the new content was added. We also have level 6 production buildings and licence free production buildings to improve production performance to match the increased production needs, but again its not enough for some. And the freeing up of licences ( which in themselves were a limiting factor for the growth of the game ) now means we have less constraints on the number of buildings we can build so it is inevitable that some are looking for more space to use them.
I do concede however that it would be nice to have somewhere to show our creative side, and use all those decorations, event trophy's etc. Perhaps a separate little island with just a mayors house and a `garden space' Linked to the achievement button so friends and visitors could click and come see. I think it would be more representative of the players time in game than just a number.....But then if BB gave it to us, it would probably never be large enough ;)

[lordloocan]

You don't need more land, in fact the archipelago wasn't needed either. What you need is to learn how to use the land you have efficiently. I am level 61, half way to 62, and I have no need to use a single buff on my island and still have space on the main island free for building.

[Maria_Espa]

I fully understand your view.

Thanks for understanding me :)

Thanks for your explanation, I sincerely have been very funny, ;)
If with that example I must understand that I am a child, Great!!
I can put myself in that situation! :)
I'm going to wait for my "BB_ Mummy" or "BB_daddy" to tell me that I can not take more ice.
If BB tell me that I can not anymore I will not cry, I will not complain, but I think I can support a suggestion that I personally think is very successful :)



What I'm saying is that IF BB decide to give us more space at some point, then within a year someone else will come out and say the exact same thing again "We NEED more space". So when is there enough space??

If the game continues to evolve, if the game is alive, why not also, ask for more upgrades for it? more space?
We can ask for many things! Why not? :)
-This is that the community grows together with the game-
I'm sure developers know how to prioritize what users are asking for. :)




Personally I would love more space to use my spare 150 licenses on.
thank you so much :o
For the rest, you have all my support in that other matters must also be dealt with. :)


P.S There are circumstances in which not only must give an ice to a child, if not many ice and even the mother does not want.
Do you have children who have removed the tonsils? hehehe
thank Mr Faststriker for all the attention And excuse my English, I don't know much but, I put it all
my will and my heart.

How many adventures you play daily? how much population you have? how many hours you spend on game in avg?

[lordloocan]

How many adventures you play daily? how much population you have? how many hours you spend on game in avg?

I play for about 10hrs a day, I do at least one Ali and one Ft a day plus other advs and my population is 18k. Get your economy right and the game looks after itself.
