This thread is not intended to take away or replace anything we can already do with our citadels. You'd still be able to do everything as normal. It's simply adding the
optional
ability to make setting upkeep targets easier, for those who want to utilize it.
Do you set the resource targets for each plot (for upkeep) for your clan's citadel? After every build tick, you have to keep inputting these numbers for each plot and click the box on each individual plot to lock it once the target has been reached. Can you relate to how it feels? I can! After a while, week after week, it becomes redundant, and a chore.
It would be nice if there was a way to avoid having to do this after every...single...build tick.
I have a few suggestions...
- Add a checkbox in the citadel management interface somewhere titled "Set Upkeep" to allow resource targets to be automatically set for all plots dependent on citadel tier. A confirmation box would follow: "Lock all individual plots whose target has been reached?" This could easily be toggled off by manually going into the plot(s) you don't want getting locked and deselecting the box set to lock it when the target has been reached.
- Add an option to the quartermaster in the clan keep, where upon speaking to him, he gives you the option to set upkeep targets for all plots. He'd ask if you want to lock all individual plots whose target has been reached. This could easily be toggled off by talking to the quartermaster or doing it manually for certain plot(s).
- Have an option on the quartermaster that can be toggled on/off where he'll set resource targets for upkeep for all plots dependent on citadel tier immediately upon the first person entering the citadel after every build tick. Also have him ask you if you want to automatically lock plots when the target is reached, but again, have this be toggable.
Yes, it has come up in the past.
Yes, I fully support an automatic upkeep system for the citadel.
Previously, Mods Maz and Moltare have said that something like this was possible and there was event a bit of discussion about how it could work, but this was at least over a year ago, if I remember correctly.
Thank you for bringing it up! Maybe it is something that the ninjas can consider adding to our wishlist of updates.
