valid Supply Conversion

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Supplies of equal value should be able to be converted/sold to get a new value of another supply. It is not unfair as you are not losing/gaining anything in your garage, It can help with lacking supplies and an overflow of another. For example. I have 11000 Double Armors, and I have only 100 Double Damages. I can convert x amount of my Double Armors to x 100 + x amount of Double Damages. It is concept I thought of, based off of the Crystal Synthesis Concept from Tanki X

Valid

This would have been declined if not for last year's livestream where they mentioned that supply conversion is actually planned for the future. There's no guarantee it will actually be added though, but we shall see.

Does this mean I may be able to convert at least 20k speed boosts into 6666 repair kits?

Fun Fact: the supplies value I mentioned in the first post is my legit supply count.

Unlikely. Expect it to work at a heavy loss.

So you need more. I wish I could give you.

[yellowghetto 3,206]

that'd be broken. It should be a feature if both players are the same rank tho. Players could do giveaways, contests. That'd be cool. I feel real bad for mid-high rankers who have no supplies who compete against MM. That's another factor that ruins the game.

Convert supplies to any supplies
 

I am currently facing a situation which causes me a big problem and frustration when it comes to having too little supplies and the ongoing gain of too many mines. I have come up with an idea that can solve that problem. My suggestion is to have a new system built into the garage so that players can convert any supplies to any other garage supplies they already own. The conversion system would enable players to convert each unit of supply individually to any other supply they wish to convert to. The conversion would be free, meaning that no real money, Tankions nor crystals would be used during conversion of supply units.

This system will only be suitable to convert normal supplies, but not nuclear energy boxes, nor gold boxes or containers. Below are the type of supplies that can be converted at any time:

       Repair Kit                 Double Armor             Double Damage             Speed Boost                                                   Mines                                                               Batteries

                                                  

As you can see from the list of supplies above, those six types of supplies are the ones that are suitable for conversion at any time. Please note that players cannot convert supplies in battles. Conversion only works when you visit your garage.

That me RIDDLER_8 in a pro battle to display my in game supplies:

As you can see, I have 59 Repair Kits, zero Double Armor, 22 Double Damage, Zero Speed Boost, 23k (23,000) Mines and no batteries. Gold boxes does not count here because they are unsuitable for conversion. That's because gold boxes contains only 1000 crystals, not supplies.

How the supply system works:

The supply system would work by having a simply interface like the one you see below in the Flash version of Tanki Online. However, the design would look different in the HTML5 version of Tanki Online, but operate in a similar way. For the supply conversion system, there would be six of those number boxes next to each other. On the top of each supply system conversion box, would be the name of each individual supply. Each supply cell would be able to convert between 1 to 9999 of each supplies.

This is how the actual supplies system with its individual boxes would look like:

That would be a nice and simply design that users would find user friendly to use. To select how many supplies you want to convert, click on the up and down arrows to select how many supplies you want to convert from the total amounts of each supply you have in your garage from 1 to 9999 supplies. The maximum number of supplies to convert would also depend on how many supplies you have left in your garage. For example, if you have a total of 100 Repair Kits, you can convert from 1 to 100 Repair Kits to any other supplies that you need.

The purpose of this article is to give a good idea to developers so that they can make the proper update for the HTML5 system so that players can convert any type of those six supplies into other supplies. The benefit of supply conversion also help players with a countless amount of supplies, for example, 23,000 Mines, or else, to select how many of those stacking up unused supplies to other supplies that players need in their garage as free conversion without compromising that game's economy or supply advantage. The system is simply, fair and useful in situations where you are having too much of one of more supplies and not enough of one or more supplies in your garage.

I hope that you developers reading this idea like it, accept it and start to develop my idea for the HTML5 system of Tanki Online.

Thank you so much for reading and understanding.

Does anybody absolute hate 125 Mines?  

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

I did not know that anyone had the idea about supply conversion. We need such an interface to convert any supply boxes to other supply boxes in your garage. Gold boxes and containers are excluded because they are not suitable for conversion. Only normal power supplies are suitable for conversion.

I badly need this to happen. I have tons of batteries that I don't need. I'd love to see them exchanged for DD and RK.

Until you get lucky and obtained a Crisis drone.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

It does not matter if you have tonnes of batteries you don't need because with this feature, you can convert your unwanted batteries to any other supply.

Hello!

Sometimes, we could come to a time where we have 20k of one supply, but 5k of another.

We try our luck from Containers, but get more of the 20k supply. Other places give us a similar result.

Buying more would be nice to do, but we would have to buy 15k to get to 20k, of both.

 

Idea:

We can convert the 20k supply, that we have, into another supply we want more of.

(Convert definition - We lose one kind of supply, but gain another kind of supply.)

• To make it so tankers don't convert too much, we can add a cool-down after converting 5 times.
• Just like how we buy supplies with Crystals, converting can also cost Crystals to do.
  • 10 Crystals for each supply (Double Armor, Double Damage, Speed Boost, and Mines) converted.
  • 30 Crystals for each Repair Kit converted.
  • 60 Crystals for each Battery converted.
  • I don't think we should convert Gold Boxes.
    • We would get too many of them converted.
    • They also give Crystals which would be used for other converts, and it would mess up the system, in a way.

 

+ It is balanced, and we spend Crystals, which can help the game's economy, overall.

 

Example:

We have 10k Mines and 4k Double Damage.

We can convert 3000 Mines ---> 3000 Double Damage

To make Double Damage, the Cost is:

10 Crystals each x 3000 of them = 30,000 Crystals.

Result = 7k Mines and 7k Double Damage.

...

 

Thoughts:

Reasonable price(s) for converting?

Even though it costs us to convert supplies, it is still a privilege that we have access to it.

 

Thank you!

Basically most of us have an incredible number of Mines, the idea isn't a far from developers minds. I think it's like a free supplies for us compensate the trash 125 Mines from Containers. I think it's a sort of balance and making you pay many Containers. Btw, It wont happen without losing a considerable amount of supplies with the conversion.

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

I'm perfectly fine with this idea....

Or add alterations for mines.

Like the Spider-Mine from Tanki X? 

If you haven't seen it, its cool.

June 2020 isn't deep 

We still have valid topics from 2016, because that's when I&S got a major overhaul and we stopped archiving valid ideas unless they get declined or completed.

I have a feeling that dev may change their mind.... that they won't do it at all. Prolly because how OP this would be.
