i would rather prefer a feature that can stop every chain of recource.
for example 1 button to stop ALL pinewood planting or cutting. 1 button to stop all of the same buildings... this make sense?
thanks

Enforced stop, no.
Option to stop, yes.
NO
A vote is being asked for to make a change to a regular maintenance something that according to BB and their announcement nearly two years ago no longer exists.
Now Hot Fixes, Game updates etc and sometimes we can play and sometimes not. So when would we know if and when a maintenance is about to occur.
As I personally cannot think of any good reason for a player to say yes , i have voted a resounding 'no'.
It would have been nice if BB would enlighten us as to why they think such a vote is necessary and then what sort of notice would be given before each regular maintenance it would have to be a minimum of 10 days.
Does this mean the return of the weekly maintenance? Would it help BB, make them more efficient, if we vote 'yes'? Then i might reconsider. MIGHT.
Based on the number of simple "Yes" and "No" posts in this thread, maybe the first post should be amended to add that there is a poll button above the post :)
A waste of effort and time. The game is dying the economy is broken players are leaving and you guys want to focus on maintenance issues really ? Just a thought try focusing on updating improving the game adding more new content , expanding the island adding some things that bring the game forward something that would impress and would be fun to play and more to the point something thats current and up to date rather than keep rehashing the stuff thats 10 years old. Innovation preparation and forward planning instead of the same old same old boring boring boring
He's right you know... Why not focus on the players being able to do more, rather than less (which a stopped production would result in).Quote:

Why not start an early xmas vacation lol, it's quite obvious that the people don't want this, ive checked out forums from other countries, everywhere everyone says no, so I guess that's quite simple, better put extra time in cooler features such as travel to the north
No
My island has been built with maintenance (or game updates or event deployments) in mind - stopping it won't give any benefit. I guess implementing it as a opt-in option makes no sense because islands will deviate from reality - some will advance, some will be in hibernation.
Yes - for high level mines.
No!
No need to "blame" BB for this they saw cries about stuff running out at hotfixes and came up with a solution. Its not what most players want but something good can come of this discussion.
I propose a zone buff that pauses all production. Should go down better than Vacation mode button and possibly easier to implement. :)
Self use only of course. Could be available in merchant for gems/beans/star coins.
Would prefer the barracks, prov houses, bookbinder and specialists would not be stopped but if a tradeoff is necessary ill take it.
Length lets say 30 days?
If you wanna get crazy go for different lengths and/or buffs for certain types of production.
I voted for production to continue.
What would solve this issue for me (and probably others), during maintenance and generally would be a toggle for 'Only run when buffed', i.e. production pauses on Fairy Tale castle etc when buff elapses.
yes if it includes freezing of buffs / premier / and any-or-other time committed activities, also maybe a toggle setting for everyone to set to a default would be a good idea that way everyone is happy
no thanks
With 88% voting No, do you really need the discussion at all?Quote:

If people complain BB listens which is a good thing in my book, but this does not need to be implemented and I have voted no. As much notice as possible for downtime and as little downtime as possible would be worth implementing.
Great idea to have survey before impleminting stuff: maybe we could have more of those when comes to other things bb wants to implement ;-)
No
Im lost. I thought we didnt have "Regular Maintainence" anymore. This should be explained more before having a vote. If it was during hotfixes then there would be a point as some people have lost industrial mines etc during down time.
Why have a vote without full discussion and explaination. A better idea would be a button that gave players the option to turn off whole sections of island production.. such as Granite or Marble... or stop all salt production. I have a lot of Friarys and it would be cool to be able to press one button to stop that chain when water or Wheat was low.
But as the proposal stands with little explaination I would say no to the current proposition
Just my Rant I guess and Wishful thinking.
Maybe you should consider freezing the production of those upon here who cannot reply in a civilised manner. For shame...
no. while it might help a few players it will screw up too may other things. IE ur doing an addy but ran out of troops and have to train more. if production gets put on pause during maint u cant train the troops needed to finish the addy. plus u wont be able to make the weapons to train more troops meaning u might not be able to finish the addy in time. When maint is going onn it gives us time to do other things and plan what we want to do next. with everything on hold during maint it will screw up those plans.
nope! the only good thing about extended downtime for maintenance is that production keeps going.
It's not about what we want, it's about what our community wants - this is why we're asking for your opinions and will not touch a thing unless a very big majority was in favour. The community has spoken and we hear you loud and clear!Quote:

I voted no, mainly because (as has been mentioned by others) pausing the island during maintenance would mess up my buffing schedule.
Fair enough.. if this is the way BB will be implementing certain impact changes in the future (ie purely on the consensus), Im all for it :)Quote:

it would also enhance gameplay, eg if i have buildings with 25m buff left, and all of a sudden i need to leave instead of going round my isle clicking away, instead 1 click would switch it all off
I agree with that also. Every major change should be voted on by the community. Instead of having changes made then get the opportunity to give feedback. There is little point giving our opinions after the fact. Take the changing of the adventure information for one example. We got told it was changing whether we liked it or not or even wanted it and that was that.Quote:

No please don't
:) Its a pity everyone cant be totally civil. Some peoples answers left a lot to be desired. I love this game or at least have done for a number of years.. Probably coming to the end of my time here But I think the poll was a great way of testing what people really want.Quote:

The idea is not in truth a bad one for some people when they understand it fully... so Maybe going forward a discussion first for a few days so people can see both sides of a discussion and weigh up the pros and cons.... Then a vote a few days later.. Just a thought.
no
no
I think it would be useful if you could turn everything off by choice rather than just during maintenance time. Then if you are going on holiday or are too busy to be able to keep up with maintaining mines ect on your island you can turn off or pause your island until you are ready.
I don't think that is needed for maintenances.
I would appreaciate though having a red button to halt everything, in case of travelling or vacation where the game would be unattended for an extended period of time.
... and if possible to have option to program the Full Stop providing the Start Date/Time and the End Date/Time
no I don't think so too early do that before Christmas you could ruin everyone game & too soon do that. I say no
hi i beleive that i would rather leave my production line going while in maintenance the same as when it runs while i am asleep but all for keeping the production stopping if i am away from the game for certain amount of time like 24hrs as it is at the moment its not broken so does nt need fixing ty
