Everything Stoot Said!

I tried to clean everything up and put names in bold and add the questions that Stoot was replying too. I hope everyone finds this as helpful as I did (and thank you Stoot for answering all our questions! You rock!)

stoot barfield  part of the point of towers to be able to create a space that you want to be public — houses don't work well for that since it is where you keep all your private stuff, resources, etc. and you don't want to let people in 

stoot barfield  balconies will likely come to houses as well 

stoot barfield  and unexpansion for houses as well 

Wobbles  its a great idea IMO stoot, props to the whole crew 

stoot barfield  Thanks!
 
Wife of ToeLivz  I think the towers are an awesome idea & whoever came up with it should be given many high fives :D 

Cuddlesworth  Oohhhh Stoot you are such a tease!! 

Mackena  in the meantime, can our inner doors be locked and we can make a store out of the ground floor? :-D 

stoot barfield  Mackena: 100% for sure there is no chance of that 

LilySunshine  Will we be able to put furniture in the SDB's that way we can sell what we make? 

stoot barfield  LilySunshine: put some SDBs in your SDBs? 

LilySunshine  that way we can sell our SDB's too!  haha 

stoot barfield  it might happen, but furniture is a bit more complicated  (b/c of the upgrades, etc.) 

LilySunshine  I understand they need to be fungible, so I would guess no upgrades would work the best?  (or all the same upgrade etc.) 

Lorraine ♪  towers are gonna murder serious resource routes. no telling how many trees we'll have to kill off to fit a tower. 

stoot barfield  towers are totally optional 

Mackena  how much space in the yard will they take? 

kepi  stoot! how much space will the tower kill? more than a space or 2 worth of resources? 

stoot barfield  less than 5 planks, I think something around the width of a large garden 

Wobbles  i will be wanting to Bedazzle my castle stoot, think you and the homies can swing that?

 stoot barfield  Bedazzling: yes! 

Syrup  So will the towers be coming before or after the game goes live again? ;) or is that classified? 

stoot barfield  Syrup: yes, before re-launch 

stoot barfield  relaunch: final date is not set yet, but the order will be: (1) turn invites back on and work through the queue of people who have been waiting, (2) send a notice to older players who haven't been back since all the stuff changed and (3) open it back up completely  with lots of testing in between, at each step 

glum pudding  stoot: please make a video of the new tutorial so 30457209385 people don't sign up for alts just to see it 

stoot barfield  yeah, we will, glum 

glum pudding  yay thanks 

stoot barfield you can't pick up SDBs with stuff in them 

Miss Bobbit  stoot, please give us a bettr way to buy and sell upgraded furniture 

stoot barfield  so you have have schlep everything to the tower the hard way 

Mackena  darn! I dont think I have enough ROOM in my bags for most of them :( 

stoot barfield  Miss Bobbit: thinking about it 

Miss Bobbit  thanks 

stoot barfield  Mackena: most of the stuff you have near-infinite supply of, people are not going to want to buy anyway :) 

stoot barfield  I think there will be lots of restaurants and bars 

Syrup  Furniture store would be awesome.

stoot barfield  restaurants b/c there will be another change in the future: bonus iMG when you eat a variety of food  so, people who don't have/use cooking skills will have a reason to buy crafted food 

JNNX  ALL LATER COMMERS: stoot barfield  (a tower is a new kind of building which you'll be able to build on your home street and which will be accessible to all home street visitors) 

stoot barfield  because towers have narrower floors (elevator on left) the spaces are more "room like"

stoot barfield  on the dev server, my tower has a nice lobby, a spacious high design coffee shop on the 2nd floor, a shrine room with some special trophies, a fancy-looking place to sell gems, etc.

  • Thanks for posting LilySunshine, and eric thanks for making it readable.  @Dotcom, the SDB thread said that this was a preview of things to come next week...so I'm guessing we might see some of this next week?

  • Lily, thanks for posting and for editing in all the questions. Super helpful! I know it was a lot of work!  It is such important information that everyone should read it.

  • Oooo.  If we can have a couple more expansions to tack onto our streets then we don't have to remove any resources (I've been hoping for more expansions).
    Posted 6 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wait...wasn't there mention of what resources and iMG would be needed to build a tower?

    Where'd it go, or where are my glasses?

  • Ah, there was some sort of server lag, (it's also still going on in the home page, but is better on both). So that's why we didn't see the changes eric had made the first time... 
    Posted 6 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I seem to remember (though I might be wrong) the comment was something like 20K iMG just to build the tower (don't know if that includes the first floor, or if that will be just to have a project to build it).  Something like 20 wall segments and 20 beams (or was it girders?) to build a floor...each additional floor would require more resources to build, but they hadn't determined yet the number limit for the number of floors (but it sounded like more than three might be possible).  In other words, it wasn't going to be trivial to build...but I guess we'll see when they launch them 'soon'.

  • Is there somewhere we can read this whole thing? 
    Posted 6 months ago by Teena Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Stoot talked about this in Global chat today and I copied and pasted it out of Global and took out all of the stuff that didn't go along with the conversation ("I want a pony" or "I like trees!" etc.)

    At first I just threw it up with everything that had Stoot's name in front of the sentence with the intention of just getting the information out there. As you can imagine it didn't make a lot of sense because a lot of the time he was answering a question so you'd just see "yeah", "no way!" "sure" Since then I have gone back through and tried to piece together Stoot's answers with the question that was asked. I might have missed things because Stoot is 100 times better at keeping track of what is going on in the conversation than I am, but I thought this information was important enough that the little bumps and bruises this conversation has gotten from going from global, to Word, and then back into the forum weren't important. 

    Also, I read through the conversation like five times and I don't remember Stoot ever talking about img, if someone else talked about it I wouldn't have included it. But I could be completely wrong! I'm happy to give you the 25+ pages of information I started out with and you can try to go through it and find the mention of the iMG and resources! haha :D

  • Here were some lines about prices that are not there: "they are expensive to build: 20k iMG to get the project going / then 20 wall segments and bunch of girders and stuff /  each floor gets more expensive"

    But, I'm going to a write a post about what's coming up anyway. Sometime this weekend!
    Posted 6 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • LilySunshine...the 20K iMG was in your original post before it got cleaned up (though it was hard to read, so I might have read it wrong). I remember someone lamenting that they didn't like to make wall segments, and he told them to just buy them from someone who did. For the record, I personally don't open global, so the only thing I know is what you originally posted and the edits since. So someone who was there, would be better than me to pipe up on it, especially since stoot seems to have amnesia about the conversation ;)

    ETA: And stoot seems to be healed!!! :D

    Stoot thanks for the update, looking forward to your upcoming post.

  • OH MY!!! 20K iMG!!! OMG!!!
    Posted 6 months ago by feifei Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Y'know, 20K isn't really that much.  Make a bunch of seasoned beans or eggs and donate them.  It adds up real fun. :)

  • So these are literally tower like buildings we can have in gardens selling stuff?
    Posted 6 months ago by iDylan Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It would be awesome to be able to set limits on the number of items a glitch can buy in one game day from the SDB. "One to a customer" or "A batch of a dozen" or "One stack's worth."

  • I can't wait to see and decorate my tower ;) And then sell ridiculous quantities of even more ridiculous goods inside!

  • I didnt see this detail, but i know it was asked (sorry if i missed it in the original post or replies), but towers will not be allowed to have animals roaming around unless stoot's imagination changes from the conversation

    Edited to clarify animal bannage
