Can we not get a check system for Explorers, it takes ages sending them all out individually.
Merged
could i surgest an extra tick box where you approve the task to repeat the given task until a X box is ticked on the pop up of the explorer or geologist where you pay to finish early by paying.
i'm lovin all these explorers, but i am getting to the point where i just cant be bothered to send them or i randomly click on any search just to hurry up!
far too much (very boring) clicking, please fix it bb.
this seems like a very sensible ideaQuote:

What do they call it..Carple tunnel?
+500
I fully support the whole idea and anything would be better than sending them 1 by 1. But I like this^ suggestion the best.Quote:

+1, esp. to KarstenL's and Trigintiljon's suggestions: groups of explorers (and geo's?) in the tavern.
And to make me perfectly happy, have the generals waiting in the tavern, too instead of all over the island.
BB: If you can't be bothered with making group searches, could you then at the least just make a "stupendously prolonged treasure search" that will take 5 - 10 times as long as a prolonged, but giving a multiple of the prolonged ressources.
If you are really nice you could make a settings element that allows the user to deciede how many times a prolonged search the explorer is to be send.
If you don't log in for 48 hours and the explorer have been going for more than one prolonged search, the loot you get is only the same as for a prolonged search.
As many others I'm getting tired of sending 50+ (53 in my case) every day.
I take it we still have to send them one at a time? I really can't be bothered anymore
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a general term used to describe the pain felt in muscles, nerves and tendons caused by repetitive movement and overuse.
Thats what i am getting from sending the explorers out
Imagine what it is like for those of us who play on more than one server.
u need what to search, who should search and the type of search
Why you think I only play on one server nowadays :pQuote:

Error trapping can be applied so as not to attempt to send out the wrong people for tasks - e.g. an army for a treasure search. Simply remove them from the selected group, don't even need to show a user error.
I would far sooner draw multiple boxes during an event than dread getting even more powerful explorers to send out one by one every hour or two.
BB acknowledged this thread about 6 months ago, let's hope they can do something soon.
As my explorers total has passed 40. its getting really tedious sending them all during events. There has to be a better way!.
Please Please make a way to send explorers away, even if we have to tick them like sending generals.
Still no change? Still can't be bothered, it can't be that hard to do this!

why not skill them up and then send them on the longest searches if you can't spare 2-10 minutes a day for this task?
not when you got 50 explorers.... Takes about 5-10 mins each time, and with them all skilled, thats more than once a day, and even more during events... just sayingQuote:

don't get me y'all wrong, it's a nice feature to have, but wont that turn it into an automation thingy rather then player action?
what'll be the next one to ask for? turn explorers into production items. set them up for what feature you'd like and then bb will drop the outcome when timer hits zero?
if you'd like the best outcome you should be putting the effort in achieving it as well
i might be the only one but i'll give a -1 to this one
this is what i'm playing with atm
How long have you been playing? It's tedious and hurts my eyes and fingers doing it over 50 times in a row, it's also boring, how can you possibly want to do this even once a day?Quote:

Select a task -> select all explorers that can do it -> send.
There are click games and mobile games out there if clicking is your thing...
After missing out yet another send out of pages of explorers yesterday simply because I could not face it yet again, I had a thought, well really two. The other was depressing concerning the thread on the discrimination that BB continues to believe to be acceptable regarding the treatment of different servers! ( For the record BB IT IS NOT ! )
This more positive thought was, in my view easier to implement in keeping with the game. Create expeditions for explorers. Yes I know `expeditions ' are already used in another context in the game, but I'm sure someone can come up with another name, I'm not going to do all BB development work, and a group of explorers is a better use of the term than used to describe pvpoo :cool::p
The expedition would allow all explorers of type and skill set to be grouped into one clickable icon and then sent out on one type of search with one click. The rewards of that search will just be just a multiplication of the number of explorers in that expedition. The number of explorers can be shown as a small digit within the icon. There maybe some work on whether the loot is random amongst that number or all the same, or even a different loot table for expeditions, but for now its a thought to get away from all this mindless clicking which is reaching ( all ready there in my case ) monotonous levels.
90 explorers x 4 clicks per sending each explorer = 360 clicks = very boring and aimless, I rarely send them out at all now between events which devalues the time and effort that went into gathering them.
We need one simple checkbox. If checked; automatically send to last search. Simple solution.
They have to redo the UI in the Unity version so I'm pretty sure this will be improved at the same time or shortly after.
your faith in gods ear Mannerheim :D
Pleas fix this... THIS alone is making me lose intrest in the game. To grind is OK, but sending out 4 lines of explores ONE by ONE. Latly I most days dont! And my games is slowing right up, just as 2020 did!
amen!!!
its overdue to get that option implemented.
It's a great pleasure to send explorers one by one. This way you can get acquainted with them and get to know their personality. :) Build some personal relationship. :)
Don't think the idea will work because of the same problem as they had with free moving of buildings.
It uses lots of data and the servers don't like that.
