Home Street previews

Pro:
- Since resources don't constantly change on home streets, it would be nice to predict where they are  if you are not on a serious route, so you can harvest accordingly.

Cons:
- May make the loading screen for home streets uglier, ruining the hard work of those who've designed it.
- The images will take up a lot of space.

Was implementation of this posted somewhere before? If so, I apologize for posting this Idea.

  • I wish that our machines were listed with our other resources (trees, rocks, peat, etc.) on our info page, the screen you can view before you visit a street.
    I have a fuelmaker & blockmaker but no one knows.

  • Afaik, you can already check a person's resources by checking their profile.  It states quite clearly what they have, albeit I've never really paid much attention to whether they have machines or not and don't in general bother visiting any but a very small handful of people on my friend's list.

    for instance, I just checked yours:
    Also home to 40 Piggies,18 Butterflies,20 Chickens,3 Caterpillars,A Firefly Swarm, and15 Spice Plants 

    And Patricia's
    Also home to 4 Piggies,4 Butterflies,A Firefly Swarm,3 Jellisac Growths,3 Mortar Barnacles,1 Peat Bog,1 Dirt Pile,1 Spice Plant,1 Egg Plant,1 Gas Plant,1 Dullite Rock for mining,1 Metal Rock for mining,1 Beryl Rock for mining, and 1 Sparkly Rock for mining 

    And mine:
    Also home to 1 Dirt Pile

    @Woochi, I respect your game play style, but I'd like to know their position on their street when harvesting for a certain commodity on a resource route. If I was visiting a few people's streets for a few resources, this probably wouldn't be needed. If I am to go on a route of 50 people, I'd like to know where they have placed their one spice tree, even though curators do stress amount an position.

  • Oh. I understand now. I didn't realize that you meant the specific arrangement of resources.

    that makes sense to me. The displayed image on a person's profile page doesn't seem to show a clear layout. When I was still hoping to be part of the resource routes, I had a group of four snaps to show folks where everything was and signs located right next to the street sign to point folks to where this and that were, but what you are suggesting has sound logic. I noticed much the same the first few times I checked out other's pages and looked at their resource list. the image shows a pano of their street but doesn't accurately reflect all of the included resources (although they seem to often include some of them...)
