This must be a bug/s

Well, ever since the new update the requirements for buildings and keys went up significantly, but in particularly one with ship. Every time ship requires nails it is always 50-60 nails, making this ...

I know what you meant about the nails. I'm just suggesting that their high requirements might be due to how easy they are to build. They are the only store items with such high requirements because they have the shortest total craft time. I've had a 10-lumber requirement, and they take 30 minutes each. That's 5 hours to build. 50 nails takes just over 4 hours. So maybe the requirements are loosely based on their time to build.

The problem with 50 nails is not so much the time to make them as the storage space required to hold them while you make more.

    Right, but that's part of the game - expanding your storage to meet your needs. It's part of the challenge. The other day I needed 98 metal for a key. Of course I had to dig deep, but it's not something I would complain about... There SHOULD be challenges in the game.

      I'm fine with a challenge, but if the only way to store enough of an item needed for a shipment is to sell my expansion items, and due to issues with Global HQ I cannot buy enough of the additional expansion items I need to be able to use any of them, I will have to pass on the key or other reward for the shipment as I will not sacrifice my long-term goal of expanding fully just to get one silly little key.

        Yep, and making decisions like that is part of playing the game! 🙂
