Suggestions for WORLDS Builder improvements (part 5):
::RECYCLING::
Some thoughts: I heard that you plan to allow users to dispose of all the unnecessary supplies instantly. In my opinion this doesn’t fit into the philosophy of the game. Dumping goods like that causes decline in a economy and passes anti-ecological messages. Thus, I thought that a new building like a Recycling Facility would be a profitable way to get rid of the unwanted items.
- Sub-products: In this building each item will be deconstructed into its components. For example a Drum will give 1 cotton and 1 leather, a Cart will give 2 metal and 1 wheel etc. Baumaterials like Scaffolding could give – lets say – planks or beams and nails, Roof could give clay and stone tools etc. Books could also be recycled there giving paper.
- Upgrades: In its next level it could also deconstruct an item into its components’ components. Thus, a Drum will give 2 baskets and 1 tools directly. In the next upgrade a Drum will give 4 vain, 2 copper and 1 metal directly and so on. Players can choose the degree of deconstruction they want before the processing starts. /* basic resources like trees, school of fish, wheat etc. could be reclaimed too at the appropriate level /
- Production line: There may be 6 slots that each can hold a stack of 5-10 chosen items of the same type and it will process 1 stack at a time. The time it takes to complete each stack is depending upon the number of items it holds and the abilities of the worker. / a new profession is needed here, lets call it ‘Recyclist’ */
- Storage: Finished products will remain in the building – which may have limited capacity that will increase with each upgrade – and will be added to the WH when they collected by the players.
- I waned to describe more my idea but I’m restricted to the limit of 2000 characters of this forum, so I leave the details to you. -

Suggestions for WORLDS Builder interface and improvements (part 4):
::DAILY QUESTS::
- Insufficient Open Market: Can you configure the quest “Earn extra coins be selling (15) items in the Shop” to require specific items to sell? It is observed huge scarcity of items like fish, juice, cotton etc. in the Notice Board shops, especially during the rush hours of Tournaments. A quest like “Earn extra coins by selling (2) fishing nets [or wheels/planks/fruits/…] in the Shop” will motivate the players to craft and sell more of those items that are in sort supply in the NB. Such items are all the Fisherman, Gardener, Workshop products plus the wheel, paper and plank.
Note: The required amount and kind of items to be sold, should be determined depending upon the level and according to the capabilities of each player respectively.
- Tournament Daily Quest: Can you add a quest that requires to “Earn Tournament Tokens by completing orders in the Coliseum” during Tournaments? This will motivate some members with low or no participation, to push more points for the clan rewards they earn at the end from the hard work of others. We consider that banishing such players is unfair to them, since they lost their interesting because of some of the recent changes, among them the downgrading of the clan rewards, extra prizes and top player rewards, especially in Golden League. I believe that a Tournament Daily Quest is a small step to remove the feeling of trying for nothing because it gives something more in return for a little more effort.
Note: The required amount of Tournament Tokens should be depending upon the player level and the type of Tournament (Blitz or weekend).
- Buy Items: The quest “Buy items from other players” counts only those items we purchase from shops in the Notice Board. Can this quest register the items we buy from shops outside the Notice Board too?

Suggestions for WORLDS Builder interface and improvements (part 3):
::CLAN TOWER::
- Clan Market: Can you create a Clan Market where ONLY clan members can sell and buy items among them? This would have an amount of slots /* depends on the tower level */ where every clan friend can spare their items there and these items can be purchased by others. The important thing here is that this Market MUST NOT be accessible by players outside the Clan (outsiders).
::SHOP::
Some thoughts: We often post cheap items in our shops to help our clan mates but outsiders catch them before we do. There isn’t any efficient way to ensure that our items go there they should and won’t end up in the wrong hands. To prevent that I thought that it would be perfect if we had a Clan Market I mentioned above. A more direct and secure approach would be with private messages I mentioned in part 2, but it works only on demand. In case you are interested and for any reason the previous can’t be done, I have thought of 2 other solutions to this matter:
- 1.Lock the SHOP: An option that allow us to make our shops accessible only to our clan mates whilst only advertised items remain available to all through the NOTICE BOARD. An outsider is not allowed to enter a locked shop.
- 2.Lock the slots: An option that allow us to make each slot accessible to everyone when it’s unlocked or accessible only to our clan mates if it’s locked, separately. Apparently a locked slot cannot contain advertised items at the same time. Also, everyone is allowed to pay a visit to our shop but cannot buy from the locked slots, if doesn’t belong to the same clan.
The lock-the-slots solution is more flexible, can easily controlled and doesn’t confuse with advertising, while a central lock for the entire shop could easily be forgotten unless there is a conspicuous warning that the shop is in lock-mode. Finally, any solution of the above would have been effective and serving their purpose only if there is NO time limitations.

Suggestions for WORLDS Builder interface and improvements (part 2):
::INBOX::
- Announcements: Can you make these in-game briefing messages that appeared as we login some times, to remain in the inbox for later reading until we delete them or they expired?
- Warnings: Can you warn us on details and promptly every time you add new features and especially for removed content?
- Private Messaging: Can we have the ability to send private messages to every player in the game? Furthermore can we attach coins, crystals, books, decorations and workers in private messages as gifts/donations/loans/exchanges/dealings?
::CHAT BOX::
- Scrolling: Can you add the ability for desktop users to use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down the comments? Also, can you apply this ability to everywhere is needed? (PEOPLE, WAREHOUSE, LEADERBOARD etc.)
- New Comments: Can you remove or better add an option for disabling that function where the comments page automatically scrolls down every time a new comment posted? It’s an uphill struggle to read 50 unread comments while friends are posting new ones at the same time.
- Avatars: Can you add the ability to pay a visit to our friends by clicking on their avatars in the CHAT too? Also, can you let us choose from a menu that appears when we click on their avatars, if we want to pay a visit to them, to go only to their shops or to send them a private message? Furthermore can you apply this wherever there are avatars in the game? (CLAN TOWER, SOCIAL, LEADERBOARD)
- Text: Can you let us paste copied text from external sources in our comments? In addition can we be able to select and copy text from posted comments in the CHAT, so we can paste it elsewhere outside the game or even paste it back in our comments?

Suggestions for WORLDS Builder interface improvements (part 1):
::SETTLERS::
- Trails: I like they leave their trails on the ground but I hate it when they are doing this inside the working areas of the buildings. Can you prevent them from corrupting the ground and basic resources there?Also, can you prevent the unemployed settlers from wandering inside the working areas too?
- Clickable: Searching for a specific worker from the PEOPLE list is a headache. Can you make it so I can click on any worker on the map and see their profile directly?
- Drag and Drop: Leading the settlers from one point on the map to another with the current way is tedious and time consuming. Can you make it so we can drag and drop them anywhere just like we do with the buildings?
- Speech: Closing their speaking clouds all the time is fatiguing. Can you give us the ability to choose for them from the settings maybe to shut up permanently? /* I know you won’t do that, so can you at least write better jokes for them to say please? */
- XP: Can you bring back our beloved function for workers to gain their xp by crafting items? I swear to Doodle God I won’t misuse it again. I’ll be a good boy this time. I promise :b
::BASIC SOURCES::
- Trees: If we had to vote what is the most annoying feature in game, it would have definitely be the struggling to plant fruit trees around the Gardener’s Hut. Can you, for Doodle God sake, separate fruit tress from pine ones and put them in a different icon before we go completely crazy? I prefer to give my real money to you and not to psychologists!
- Menu: Can you move away the Life icon from the Fire? Even experienced players confuse them and burn their islands often.
- Menu2: Can you hide in some way all those sources we don’t use often, like smoke, steam, dry tree etc.? Otherwise, you could bring to the left the useful basic sources and leave rightmost those that used mostly as decors.

We are experiencing some issues with the Daily Quests after the latest update:

1) Primary items such as meat, vines, lumber, flour, berries etc., as well as some intermediates such as copper/iron ore, copper/metal bars, wool, nails, planks etc. are never appear in the Market. That makes the opening of the 3rd chest impossible most of the times.

2) Me, as well as many other players haven’t found any crystals in the chests for weeks. Have you removed that ability?

3) There is a quest that requires to open slots in the production lines of buildings. However there are players that have already opened them all. Can you replace that quest with another for them?

A suggestion: there are a few times where finishing all 10 quests is possible. It would have been a pleasant surprise if in this case a 4th hidden chest pops up unexpectedly! Players like surprises and discover hidden stuff. You should try put some in the game.

Let me guess. You “TEMPORARILY” disabled the “so beloved” getting back rare books from dismissed workers function because some players “misused” it and cheated… again!! Obviously in JoyBits they hired managers whose only qualification is the books they have read and not the skills they gained from their work in game development; not even because they have ever played a single video game in their entire life. That makes sense!!

It’s been a month since you decided to punish “TEMPORARILY” the whole WORLDS Builder community because of some players you called cheaters and who vague “misused” something that no none ever understood exactly what it is and how did they cheat. Anyway, as you have already realized from the “not so positive comments” in Armor Games and here, we did the math and getting xp only from books is a ridiculously endless and uninteresting process. Is Your Majesty at least, willing to inform us, here or on one of your abandoned and outdated sites (fb, zendesk) if you are going to remove that prohibition and when, so we can move on with our lives and spend our Krebs in a more fun way?
Please don’t bother to answer at all if you are going to say again “Hey. I will notify our devs about that”. I’m sure they already know

I emailed and asked if you would please fix the yard of one of my Clanmates whos IGN is Greybeard. He has been playing for a year and his yard is glitched (double res buildings and other issues) to where he cannot craft or play. To whom do I need to speak to to help him out so that he can get back to playing. He is about to leave having had his crystal tree expire and is unwilling to re new it due to this glitch. I would like help with this thank you

This update is complete crap. Its only pain to level workers with books you only get one at a time from the port. Making thing impossible for nrew players who are gonna be stuck with no way to level their workers in an acceptable way that doesnt make em feel like they are experiencing misery.All this made work by making trade material non available on player market.This is not an improvement at all.

Hi JoyBits. We have 2 issues
1st We noticed that the workers are no longer gaining any XP from crafting items. Is this a bug or just another improvement? If it is an improvement we believe that it is unfair to the new players and for the elders is a reason to loose interesting for the game .
2nd A friend from our clan (The Outpost USA) called Punika has sent you several bug reports. Can you please fix Punika’s world which is a completely mess for more than 10 days now and give the clan rewards that missed from the previous tournaments or at last respond to her/his?
Thanks in advance
