Why the restriction on floating houses?

[Thejollyone]

Love these, but why restrict the maximum to 8 (5 from Easter event and 3 from the merchant)?

My island is nearly maxed out with very little space left - and yes all buildings are optimally situated/squeezed in etc.

When these floating houses were introduced I thought it would greatly improve my space issue. I had planned to knock down some noble deeds and replace them with floaties in order to gain more productive buildings. Also the cost of upgrading each noble from level 3 to level 4 is extortionate, hence making the floating houses even more desirable..

Please reconsider the maximum on these BB

I imagine this might be due to space issues, imagine if one of the 7 new buildings is also on water? Don't want to fill up on floatings then have people complain that they can't place the new buildings due to lack of space (some people are already at that stage on the home island, better not double up on the issue!)

ok cool - thnx for the prompt response Peck_ed

maybe they are restricted because we may one day get pirate huts that look like they also go on water????
i see they have a small boat with them.

I've looked at the current map, as it is there is space for 30+ water buildings. A few tweaks of the boundary posts would allow for even more. Unless BB already know that when the new buildings come we will be wanting multiples of some types on water, I can see no logical reason why Floaters are capped at their current level.
