it would be GREAT if we could edit/move multiple items simultaneously, while editing our bases. why can we not make one giant selection and move everything that’s been highlighted?
i have a base that I consider “perfect” - this base is over 5 years old, and is a variant of many different configurations over time that took forever to perfect. I just need to shift everything on this base to the left to make more room for traps, as I built it too close to the forest wall back in my earlier ages. Can’t do that without starting blank and rebuilding the base from scratch hoping it comes out exactly the same, or copy and pasting over another good base, and moving each object one by one which could take hours and hours we don’t have.

is there not a simpler work around?

thanks

I'm surprised you're saying that - you're usually saying people should earn their stripes and not expect everything the easy way.
Unless you're being sarcastic then never mind. 😄

Nah, this time I agree with your "earn it" sentiments. It's too much of a hack for someone to come along and simply copy what another person has spent time and frustration to perfect.
But, back to OP's suggestion - a multi-item option for editing a base is long overdue ... @Harlems369th ??

Yea but for alliance leader that would like teammates 1 base to be like teammates 12 bases for this war or that war would be convenient and let’s faces it screen shot of bases and ya can copy fairly easy just little time consuming and in end you still stole their base just like it happens now

I agree that moving multiple items is a must-have but really ... hours and hours?? Is that anything like "literally dying" ? 😁
I‘ve been playing this game for years but I don’t play all the time. I’m more touch-and-go. So yes, having to move everything, Incrementally takes more time than what I want, or have to spend on this

Umm ... are you saying an alliance going to war would like to present all war bases as exactly the same?? Wouldn't that make it awfully convenient for the opposition to plan their attack strategy?? 🤔

I'm not opposed to this addition - it just smacks of the I-want-it-now-for-nothing mentality - which is the opposite of your "teach a man to fish" mentality. Anyway, old man rant over. 😄

Well I am not saying every base same, I am saying the leader could then have choice different for groups. Like 4 being spread or some closed etc etc for the leaders that micro manage.

As for me the player less hassle if I happen across a base worthy of trying lol not many impress me. But time saver of copying would be nice lol esp when teaching newer players base design
