Also I agree let us pick where we want our trees located all my HW is in 7 all my PW is in 1 and 4 so trees (for me) in zones 2,3,5,6,8,9 are all useless and that would give me more space.

In order to make sure that every mountain you remove provides you with the appropriate amount of additional space, small adjustments to rock placement on home island will take place.
Ah, just when we were losing hope, you roped us in with explosions and more space!
Do we get to remove trees, or have we not invented dynamite of that caliber yet?
Providing there are not any other games out there with this idea, i love it!Quote:

Have you thought any about adding a way to build bridges to the small islands around ours? Not much more room, but a little anyway.
It's nice that Devs are looking for new things. However, just to add my voice, I find the singular tree, shrub, or "dirt spot" that prevents me from building the most vexing. Where the rocks are- well that's where my mines are. I have never considered them in the way. It's the aforementioned shrubbery that annoys me.
This is great news!!! Nice improvement BB!! :)
Great way to gain some space thank you can't wait to see how this will turn and what rock the dev will allow us to remove.
Anyone feel the need to start making "GunPowder"? ;P
Hopefully the Next great idea will be a tree stump grinder crew to remove some of those unused tree stump and create even more usable space! :)
I second this motion.Quote:

This is so freaking amazing. I can't wait. Good job devs.
why not a different kind of specialist - dwarves, who know how to make homes (or other buildings) in the mountains???
Man this new thing for ou island is going to sweet :D
Its great that BB is finally coming out with a way to create more space on our home islands. However, I agree with Malthraus that it would be more cool to create buildings on top of, or within, the mountains.
It would also be nice to find deposits or resources after the rocks are blown up. Or better yet the explosions cause the geologist's to find more gold mines! Eight is not enough! Get it "Eight is enough", old TV show. Showing my age. Eight is still not enough though.
Wouldnt it have been much easier to just let us cut down some trees?
could we get a bridge builder so that we can take advantage of the little islands?
I hope they make these as provision house buffs ... with a bunch of gunpowder, and some tools, and a couple of cauldrons or kettles --- and a ridiculous amount of provision house time (like 72 hrs or so - to use up some bunnies). Rather than their go-to overpriced gem store items.
i'd imagine you'd have to make the Buff in the provisions house or something with Gunpowder or Saltpeter... Then whatever else the Dev's will throw into it lol.
I suppose programming new buffs and new rock placements is easier than changing the number one to a number two and giving us a second home island or account with 300+ new building sites.
I like the idea of freeing up some of the forest space too, but before this is done I hope they address the 'lets all harvests the same tree' issue. Also, would like it that you can only MOVE the existing trees not remove them. (I'd like to put the tree's all around the lake in the center, and build toward the outside of the island, just think it'd look better)
And also, yes I find those indestructible and/or invisible 'blocks' that prevent a building placement for no logical reason quite annoying (And did enjoy using that bench bug to remove the shrubs, at least some, to place a building)
mmm Awesome indeed :)
I like the raising atlantis idea: cost 1 million stone, 500k marble, 100k star coins :P
Fantasic Idea BB! I'm not going to suggest other ways to expand out island, i like the fact that it's limited to rock formations. I would like to see these buffs used possible in adventures as well, clear rocks to create new paths for generals. Keep up the good work!
This is a wonderful addition to the game. I have another idea which would open up a bit more space, but that belongs in the Suggestions thread. Thank you for the demolition crews. This will help some with space issues.
Either relocation of trees, or some selective clear-cutting (I like the idea of moving them better; I'm no fan of clear-cutting in real life, and don't think a game should support it.)Quote:

- but what about destroying rocks & mountains to create short-cuts on Adventures too!!
I hadn't run out of room yet but could see how that could happen...this could be useful
TY very much BB for getting us some more land, there has been alot of buildings added, and even more licences, so the new room is much appreciated. As many have mentioned, having the ability to move/remove trees would be great and a good way to see improved gem sales... We could purchase more gem buildings to fill in the opened land.. A "mule team" buff would be a idea for a buff that moves/removes stumps... go ahead and use that, i wont charge a royalty...lol
Dear Settlers,
First of all: Thank you for the participation in both stress tests for the mountain buff feature on tsotesting.com.
The community challenged the servers very well and this helped us gather useful data.
As a result, our developer team found optimizations that will be implemented before the feature goes live.
Hence, it will take a little bit until the features will be available for live game worlds.
In parallel, there's more new stuff in development!

Check out our latest developer's diary.
Amongst other things, it describes a new feature to save island space as well:
The new Epic Workyards!

Happy Settling,

i've been researching the marketplace and the resource quarries and found the solution to the fiasco of pricing in the game. I've come up with a Global Price List in which people are, now, talking against without testing it out. It is based on the Gold Coin and varied by the gem. I need to implement it so that all of the members can sell their materials instead of trading material for material. when they go to the trade office or trade amongst one another, they can just sell their items for gold coins.
Under the Global Price List (simplified), they would make more with the raised prices, instead of going by the ratios of the current price list. some members are confused by this and in the trade office, the prices fluctuate...constantly.
