Nice Update ! Thanks Kon for all your works ! 

[King Kong]

This update will go in within the hour!

Vorspire was the man on this patch

[Mercathane]

Notes look fantastic.  Lookin forward to gettin on to check em out.

[Norad]

Nice. Thanks for the update king!

[Ladibug]

Thank you for the updates.

Can we get the resource box menu back to the way it was? The new menu is not good. Also i really don't understand why we now have to donate in order to put extra resources into our resource box.

[Mercathane]

agreed with ladibug, while i appreciate the effort the format is terrible compared to what we had before.  I can think of about 15 things id donate for besides resource box space..most of us will fill it to default full and start putting stuff back in chests..which i think defeats the purpose of the resource box.

Thank you for the updates.

No.

Can you please explain what is not good about it? The one you bought had a limit of 100k per item. That is how they always been and that is how this one is.

Now if you want to go over 100k, there is the option to donate for it.

Your call.

[Voxpire]

You put donations in our server fund and we'll keep supplying you with free resources for your box

You don't have to donate to upgrade the storage, you can also buy the upgrade tokens from the trash vendor at a rate of 1 to 1

[King Kong]

Please let us know how this Resource box can be better visually.

Were not going back to the old one, that one was far too unreliable & we are not going to waist time & resources rebuilding that from ground up.

We can edit this one a million ways. It is much stronger.


--- We have alrdy found a small bug with it.. Fix on the way

[Ladibug]

It has a limit of 100k?? That's not true right now because when i went to put in a stack of 100 sulfurous ash, it said, "I cannot hold anymore sulfurous ash". I only have 14k of it.

And what i dont like about the menu is the way it's set up. The list of items run so far down my screen that i cannot see all of them. I will try to get a screen shot up of it.

[Mercathane]

I know i am personally not concerned about the donation aspect.

Since you asked...

What is wrong with it is apparent as soon as you open your resource box.  The text is not formated to the lines or cells.  It is much more difficult to locate the item you need.  More key presses and menus are necessary with the new system.  In reality the old format was far superior, nicer looking, and not a rehash of a battle system menu.

TY for feedback

Looking at changes & fixing a crash error that we expected to happen.


Let us tweak the resource box, and if you're still unhappy with it I will give a full refund.

[Voxpire]

Just because the battle system has that particular menu, doesn't mean it can't be used elsewhere. In actual fact, a lot of the menu's use that system and it doesn't hurt to have some continuity. People said the same thing about Windows 7 funnily enough.

The menu has been fixed now, I had a power-cut earlier and it caused some of my changes to be lost.

[King Kong]

Resource box has been updated.

All people who had a resource box will have 100k limit for each item. You deserve that.

All new resource boxes will have 10k & they will have to upgrade. So pretty much new players here on out. Or they can trash items to upgrade.


Also Garden Shed added to Donation House
