Currently we get one Hideout bot and the ability to buy a second. While this doubles our ability to build rooms at a time, how about we add another option? Plus let’s also consider adding the potential to buy a 3rd bot.
The suggestion is simple:
We should be able to select the number of bots we want to put on a given task.
Example:
If an upgrade is 10 days:
- We assign one bot 10 days
- We assign two bots 5 days (4.99US to buy, 1 time)
- We assign three bots 2.5 days (9.99US to buy, 1 time fee)
This would allow a serious reduction in the time of a room. But, it could also mean you could assign all three to various tasks, or two to a task and 1 to another.
How it would work:
When you go to select an upgrade, you would have a slider on the screen showing you time to complete and costs. (Coins, glue, zeronite, time) If you have the robots, you could slide the arrow to 2 or 3 and the corresponding changes to the time would reflect. Then you would start.
Alternate implementation:
In conjunction with an additional bot, the ability to “rent” bots for donuts could be included. This could be an unlimited number of bots, however, it would be for a limited time. (7 days) The number of donuts would need to be determined to be fair.
Example:
- 1 extra bot rental - 25 donuts 7 days
- 2nd extra bot rental - 50 donuts 7 days
- 3rd extra bot rental - 75 donuts (etc)
The rental would only be available if you owned all 3 bots.
Having access to rent would give more options to the building and adding of robots to complete tasks.
