How to stockpile stone during build time

On games with lots of players an extra builder may get in the way if you cant find something useful to do. Instead of being a Knight / Archer and sitting around doing nothing (I've even seen Archer's start shooting thinking it will reach the other side wasting wood >_<), you can stockpile stone like so:






























When build time is up, and builders run out of stone, it's easier to destroy spikes than mine for stone. :p

 

This is probably only applicable to HUGE games, like 14+ players on each team, and long build times of 400+ seconds. Looks good! Though I would recommend that you leave 2x spaces between the ladders so you can go up and down quicker, and there isn't anything stopping you from putting spikes on the other side of the ladders as well:















Just make sure to put the spikes in the "ladder column" last, because they prevent you from building more ladders.

 

Good idea. I couldn't do this in the server I was in because trees were everywhere, and we want to minimize blocking trees.

I was able to stockpile about 400 worth of stone in 150 seconds or so.

 

So THAT'S what that is! I was wondering...

 

Good idea, i like it, but where out the back of the base? and gives noobs something to so i like it.

 

The thing about using workshops though, is its pretty darn easy to mess up and or have some derp come along and "grief" it. With the spikes, its pretty obvious what you're trying to do. Also if you happen to be on blue, you can use team doors to store wood as well. For some reason blue doors allow you to hit them once, then when you open them up you can break them in 1 more hit, thus 2 hits for 30 wood.

 

Destroying workshops I didn't create doesn't work for me for some reason. It damages it, but doesn't get destroyed.

 

YOU HAVE TO DIG HARDER!

 

You can't complete them, they have to be in sections like 3x2 with a space and another 3x2, this is why its hard to use them. Sure in previous builds people used workshops all the time to store resources. Now it is a lot more difficult.
