10 Credits for each storage box? Really!!

I purchased an upgrade for the storage boxes I just built and came to realize you do not buy the design, you buy the design for that one item.. Even if I only have 10 storage it would be over 100 credits. Would it be possible to change this? After all I did read earlier that if you purchase a design and then another you can interchange them without further purchase. That would indicate in some fashion you buy the design.

Thanks

  • You can buy multiple designs for one piece of furniture. But you buy the upgrade for a specific piece of furniture, not all pieces of furniture of that type. I'm pretty sure they won't be changing this.

  • Then don't upgrade it?

  • They actually said it was if you buy an upgrade for an item and then buy another upgrade on the same item then you can switch between the two designs on that item without having to repay.  The devs have said before that we will have to buy upgrades for each item, even if it's the same upgrade.

  • It would be nice to have some other choices than that fugly box, dont you think?  And 10+ credits to change each one? That is a bit steep.

  • There *are* two free (and non-subscriber) options.

  • I believe there are at least 2 free upgrade choices for the SBDs - one black with stripes and one white... http://www.glitch.com/items/sdb/

  • I think we should be able to at least change the color of the free one for free. And 10credits on the SDBs is really too high. I don't mind the price on the rest of the furniture, but SDBs are something one wishes to use alot of.

  • The stripy one is uglier than the plain wood one. The plain wood one would not be so bad if we had option to change the color.

    TS's bank account disagrees. Keep in mind, if you have a Copper subscription, that's 15 SDB's a month. Since you're starting iMG based housing out at level 31, it seems overwhelming, since you're likely needing 40+ SDB's at launch.

  • As I said elsewhere, the message from Tiny Speck is that if you want to play dress-up, you'll have to pay for it.

  • I'm happy enough with the price but I agree that the wording was fairly unclear.  And I can't understand why I'd want one magic chair that can change to anything.  Wouldn't it make more sense to craft ten different chairs, each that does one thing, and stash them when not in use?  *ponders*

  • Just use the plain white SDBs... they all blend together and you just notice their contents instead of the boxes themselves.  They may not be as cute as apples or whatever, but you won't go broke paying for them.

  • Before yesterday, I was under the impression that if you bought a furniture upgrade you'd be able to use it on multiple items too, but something Bees said in the last day alerted me to the fact that either I was wrong to think that, or this has been been changed more recently.

    I'm a bit irked that the white Swedish-y SDB got switched (today I think?).  It was initially listed in the encyclopedia as being free, but got changed to 15 credits earlier, & now the Simply White one is free instead (I think that cost credits before?).  At least one of the plain white ones is free (which is a relief), but I prefer (& planned on using) the Swedish-y one, but at 15 credits each it's just too expensive to upgrade all the SDBs I need to that style.
