"One-stop shopping"....single-resource streets wanted! (Or, mmmmmm....PEAT!)

While I love the resource routes in theory, I'm not really thrilled with them in practice. I enjoy visiting other people's streets when I have time to poke around, but if I'm out gathering with a purpose in mind, I'm usually in a hurry. Too often I come across broken links or limited resources (the peat/jellisac route, for example, is quite rich in jellisac, but often there's only a single peat bog per street), and that combined with sluggish load times between streets makes the process quite time-consuming and tedious. 

I'd love to patronize other folks' streets more often, especially now that they get img any time we use their resources. So I'm suggesting that interested parties post here if you'd like to make your street a "one stop shopping" destination, which would entail having your street filled to over-flowing with ONE single resource. So if you make a street FILLED with peat, or fruit trees or whatnot, please let us know here so we can come running over en masse to flood you with img...thanks!

Edit: Title changed and text bolded to avoid confusing folks. ;)

    ETA: 13 egg plants now.

  • I think you guys are missing the point.  Unless your street has nothing but one type of resource, you're not following the OP's request.

  • Hey, my street is currently a bit on the small side, but I do have two Jellisac mounds, 1 Metal Rock, Some chickens, and like 2-3 sparkly, so stop by anytime! I usually don't go out into my street, so just feel free to do what you want there! I might start dropping some commons out there to....

    Posted 7 months ago by Helvete Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Helvete,
    well.. I have more than one resource on my street.. but  I could not fit anymore patches...and something else would fit, so why waste the space? so its like one stop shopping, plus an impulse buy? Does that count?

  • I think part of the point-missing comes from the use of the phrase 'one-stop shopping'; that phrase usually refers to stores that have a wide variety of merchandise (so that you can get all the different things on your list). That's not what the OP was asking for, OP was asking for large-scale specialist wholesalers. :)

  • What bothers me is when someone is on peat/jelli route, they only have one peat bog, and it's alllllll the way at one end of the street. Boo!
    Posted 7 months ago by Chazerei Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmmm
    Posted 7 months ago by Melting Sky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, sorry if I confused folks by calling the thread "one stop shopping"...what I meant by that was that it would be nice, of course, to only have to go to one street to get enough of a single resource, hence, "one stop." And yeah, the peat route is a bit of a hassle, which is actually what led me to post in the first place. 

    I totally admire the incredible amount of work that has gone into creating and maintaining the resource routes; that's an awesome undertaking, and it's one of the things I really love about our world and our community. So maybe the peat route can be "fixed" with more peat added, or a route created specifically for it, with an increase in minimum requirements, say, 5 peat per street? Anything less than that is simply not enough for my fuel-cell and herb-garden restoration needs, and I'd be better off hitting the bogs. I don't want to harvest one peat bog per street on the route......I want a peat orgasm!! 

    Instead of going to the peat-rich bogs, I'd rather *YOU* get the img from my harvesting, so please....peat-street, anyone?

  • Well, my home street is nothing but herb gardens, feel free to use them if you want.  One stop for herbs. lol

  • I have six bean trees :) But I also have one firefly hive and jellisiac thingy. I hope that doesn't stop you guys from coming :( I even have a little place where I put food extras and junk :) If I need more bean trees to qualify, please tell me, just i don't have very much img at the mo.

  • I've got 15 egg plants. I'm also the Egg Route Curator. We could make it a transfer stop. If you do make a hroup, could you please invite me! I highly suggest you make a group.

  • Hi! I have a little of everything- four jelis, two barnacles, 2 gas, 1 fruit, 1 wood, 1 sparkly, 1 metal, 1 dullite, 1 green dullite- a bit of a one stop shop..;)

  • Everyone's obviously read the title but not everyone understood the OP... I think it should be edited so people don't get confused. Maybe make the "over-flowing with ONE single resource" part bold.

  • Another option: put the things you need on your own property, harvest as often as possible, and throw what you've collected into some SDBs.  Since the housing reset, I think the only things I've actually had to leave the house for were snails, to use for SDB production.

  • @glum pudding, not everyone has the iMG to do that. Hence the need for resource routes etc. 

    My street and backyard I have one of everything so I really don't have to leave unless I need a large amount of something.

  • I agree that if your front yard isn't primarily dedicated to a single resource, it doesn't make sense to add it to a resource route.

  • 15 gas trees on my street
    Posted 7 months ago by Puzz Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just gas on mine, will be adding more as I go, just gas though.
    I think the resource routes should be just that. If you sign up to be on one, then you should supply just that resource. Just my opinion.

  • Ok, so I edited the title so as to try to make things less confusing...hope that helps! Thanks to everyone who posted...I'm taking notes. ;) Still no street chock-full of peat, sadly...hmmmm....I'm seeing a major img opportunity for someone!

    @glum pudding: Yep, the SDBs are great, aren't they? Love 'em! I thought of just making my own street all peat, but I really like my street the way it is now. Also, I'd rather harvest someone else's street so as to pass on the img benefit to them. But if no one comes through with my longed-for peat street, I may be forced to jump on my own band-wagon and do it myself. (I haven't done it yet, folks, and I'd rather not, so don't get all excited and come running over to my street expecting to find 15 peat bogs, cuz you won't. But you're all welcome to come by and harvest the peat I do have, along with any of the other resources that float your boat. ;)

    @AwesomeCardinal2000: haha...transfer stop, eh? Cool. :) I briefly considered doing this as a group, but decided on the forum instead. This isn't something that needs major coordination, and we can all probably benefit hugely just from whatever posts turn up. Indeed, several folks have already come forward with chock-full single-resource streets, so yay! 

    (Now someone *please* give me my peat-street so I can stop pouting. :P)

  • KitchWitch, my street is all peat (nine peat bogs in all.) It will stay that way until I get the peat badge, so come get it while it's there!

    ETA: I finally got the last peat badge so I'll be replacing the peat in the next day or two. Glad it helped for a little while!

  • My street has 15 bubble trees, and also 40/20/20 animals, similar to Fur's. It also has a dirt pile because there was a little room left over, but not enough for another tree.

  • My street has 10 peat (but is not peat-exclusive)
    Posted 7 months ago by jello's landscaping Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So what's the solution?
    Guess the resource routes could be more specialised, like a single route for peat and another for jellisac, where before they were combined?
    Posted 7 months ago by richi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is awesome!
    Posted 7 months ago by NightDraconis Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Or you could propose to Scarlett about a "Street with tons of a particlar resource" route, and be the curator.
    Posted 7 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i got 15 bean trees. and this route is eaxactly where i want to be on for my own shopping...

    just line these pure resource-bombs up, and in case of unwanted resource glitchens can just click the next street instead of running around for a single tree or such...
    Posted 7 months ago by JacquesNorris Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmmm... AwesomeCardinal has a point. You could coordinate with the resource route group to create curators of "pure [resource] route" routes.
    Posted 7 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Unfortunately this won't work with glitchen who would like to see visitors because of the magic rock iMG. The resource routes will always exist, but it would be very nice to compile a list of "Pure" streets.
    Also Jurkowski has 18 metal rocks. That's so metal!
    Posted 7 months ago by LųĉĩđεşşΨ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @ all folks who suggested I coordinate with the resource-routes group and start a new route:
    Yeaaah......no. Thanks for the suggestion, but I've got my hands full with piggy rescuing and other stuffs at the moment. Besides, I have waaaaay too much respect and admiration for Scarlett and others doing the routes to even consider starting one myself. I admire and respect all the work they put into it, but yeah...."work" is the key word here *shudder*. So forgive me if I prefer to love them from a distance. ;) Of course, there's nothing stopping *you* from coordinating with them and creating a "pure" resource route based on this thread...I really hope you do, whoever you are!! I'll even be your cheerleader.....YAY! GO YOU!!! *jumps up and down, cheering you on*

    @Wrong Way and Jello's Landscaping:  Mmmmmmmm....PEAT!!! *RUNS to your streets to plunge her shovel deep into your luscious, scrumptious peat bogs* ....er, wait, I mean....umm....well, yah, whatever. *RUNS*

    Edit: OMG, I JUST got the update card that allows you to dig a peat bog TWICE a day, appropriately named, "Dig a Bog Twice A Day."  !!!! Man, I'd say between that and the folks who offered their peat-streets, my peat-needs are now more than covered. Thanks to everyone who posted...I'll be sure and come by your streets, too, when I need spice, gas, fruit, beans, metal, and whatnot...yay!

  • I have nine bean trees in my front yard, no other stuff. I was using the HRR bean route but quickly ran into yards with only one or no beans so gave up and planted my own.
