I would like to be able to place a certain buff on all buildings at one time. Of course with certain restrictions. So just click which buff to use (like steaks) and click on "all available buildings" and <BOOM> all buildings are buffed.
Unavailable buildings would include, paused, maxed, upgrading and buildings that are already buffed.
That is a great idea for full island buffing; an interesting twist or addition to this may be a buff of highlighted work yards, such as highlighting 7 bakeries and 4 iron smelters, choosing a specific buff and then activating the buff on those 11 yards only at once.

This suggestion falls under the same category as the other suggestions of "I would like to unload all my generals with a click", "I would like to send all generals to star menu with a click", "I would like to re-post all expired trades with a click" etc.
and the category in my opinion would be name "I would like to play the game with a click".
at some point it will be a bot and not a game lol :p
1 month buff.
I would like to send all my explorers and collect their loot with one click. I gave up on sending them as often because it's barely worth the effort.
Full island buffs (toggleable by building) would be helpful, though now they have it down to a very reasonable minute or so per 2 days. That two second pause because someone cheated years ago or back when the buffs only lasted a few hours, those were wasteful.
we;ve asked before many times for buffs in groups - even by type.. we were given those group drop buffs which are problematic for spacing on the island (they insist you have all the items in one square for the buff to be used correctly). i would love to be able to apply buffs by chain... buff bakeries, brew, etc etc. and i agree w/ Gwalben... collecting loot email by email is getting tedious.
I like the idea, maybe it gets done by "rubber-banding" a set of buildings - using a square or rectangle to highlight all the buildings in an area to be buffed at once by the selected buff.
The island buff is a great idea. Unfortunately, the amount of coding involved for that may not be worth the bugs it could create. Not to mention the headaches for the programmers if someone figures out a way to exploit it as they have in the past.
The Explorer or Geologist "blanket send" really is not necessary. That just sounds to me as to be a lazy button. :)
I like the idea too, but i think apply a buff to all types that are selected, eg, buff all (unpaused/non-upgrading) mines with this buff. select the buff, select a building to buff, and then the ability to buff just that one or all of that type of building.
I also agree with the above that collecting loot by email is tedious, the ability to select all and send to Star or send to Mayors house would be great, and easy to implement.
I thought that before I had 27 of them to send up to 3 times a day. Useful during events, but I got over it otherwise.Quote:

I send different type of buff to different building, this would not be practical for me,
also some of my building i never buff.
It looks like playing the game with some kind of automation, it should take some effort to achieve something. Otherwise it wouldn't be the game anymore.
The reward is in the buffing.
I don't see any need for something like this. I buff my island with steaks every other day and it takes a few minutes. It's really not a huge time sink.
If any change is to be made on buffing, I would rather see the Premium buffing bonus apply to one's own island. It has never made sense to me that the person who is paying for premium doesn't get the buffing bonus. Frankly, the buffing bonus as it stands is more of an annoyance than a benefit to the person paying for premium, because other players are always asking you to do their buffs, which can be time-consuming.
If anyone here played any of the old settlers game, they would know how tedious buffing was. but if they implement anything like that here, then it will make all the current stuff obsolete and people spent a good amount of gems for those!
The Guides are Island buffs. What do you think about being able to make Guides in the rarity provision house?
The Guides could be made by adding let's say 100 steaks + 1000 paper + 250 nibs... Each type of Workhouse would require its own recipe.
To help stabilize the trade economy the recipes for the guides would be released from the top down, mortar forge would be first and pwl/water/fish would be released last. Higher level players would have first access and lower level players can get the recipes but won't be able to use them until they reach the required level.
