timer on moving buildings

[hades8840]

for days now i been revamping my island as i get the resources to move stuff ..i start again today but after moving the first building it now says i have to wait 60 seconds b4 i can move another ..with that delay it will drag on trying to move stuff why all of a sudden is there a timer

I think this is to do with ppl getting locked out zone errors. They introduced the timer to prevent this bug occurring apparently

Repost (with edits) but it seems now to fit a little better here.

There is a 60 second cooldown between moving buildings:


"The next building can be moved in 59(?) seconds" The red on brownish slate isn't terribly easy to read.


If your build queue is full you may also see:


"Your build queue is full."

but this seems to be just in the graphic. You don't actually need an open building slot to move a building, the timer counts down and unlocks regardless.

Players are guessing this is an attempt to avoid zones crashing under certain conditions and locking people out but BB haven't said.

If it is meant to "stop" zone crashes I'm afraid it doesn't go far enough, things other than *moving* cause them.

Happened to me just now while I was building and upgrading new improved storehouses that I bought after tonights maintenance

Alpaca, any chance we could get some info?

So to fix one annoying thing they introduce another annoying thing? Way to treat symptoms instead of the actual problem...

I discovered this today, didn't know:



LOL, why?

Hello eugenio-82,

I'm somewhat amused as why waiting a mere 60 seconds is so much of an issue, you are playing TSO after all. I'd rather wait 60 seconds than have another `Zone error bug' that locks you out completely and you have to `hope' that the script fixes it during the night. I do a lot of rearranging over on test and its not a big issue once you get use to it, or maybe its because I can do more than one thing at a time, so usually I do
My only gripe is that despite the question being politely asked both here and on test, we have not had an official announcement about what it is actually for.

ok , sorry , i just wanted to express my disappointing ...... re-organize my city was a great piece of fun , now's gone .....it's impossible to wait so much time to move fews decos.......

They introduced this and I got my first ever 'Error detected on zone' lock-out today.

Obviously their 'fix' does not work. Not happy here, especially as mid way through a premium week.

[Edit] Just managed to log back in now... maybe this does help, only took 30 mins rather than waiting for 2am script to run [/Edit]

Happier here now
Even got a mail from support saying they had looked at the problem and removed the zone error.
Well done BB support/fixy team
