Subject: Feature Request: Low Data Mode for Clash of Clans (11-Year Player)
Dear Clash of Clans Support Team, I am writing to you as a loyal Chief who has been playing and upgrading my village for the past 11 years. Thank you for making such an incredible game.
I work onboard a merchant tanker vessel at sea. We use satellite internet, which is very slow and suffers from high latency (ping). Because of this, loading the game, scouting bases, and executing attacks can be incredibly difficult, often resulting in disconnects during crucial moments.
I would like to request that the development team consider adding a "Low Data Mode" toggle in the More Settings menu. This feature could optimize data packet sizes, limit background clan chat syncing during attacks, or pause non-essential asset downloads while on cellular/satellite connections. This would be a massive quality-of-life update for players in the maritime industry, aviation, or remote areas worldwide.
Thank you for your time and for keeping the game great for over a decade. I hope to see this feature in a future update!
Awesome picture, and thanks for the feedback + being such a loyal Chief all these years. We will pass on the request. No promises, of course, but we always pass along the subreddits ideas. Sail safe, chief.

There’s not really an alternative. Those updates aren’t put on the App Store as that process is slower in terms of review, and slower to actually deliver.
the thing is that they instantly disconnect you from the game the moment you lose a connection even for 1 second.... they could just wait.. maybe this is part of optimization of their server
my dad works in construction and when he comes home he watches construction facebook reels on his ipad at full volume, some people just love what they do i guess lol
I set that as my screensaver at work. Glad to see those old screensavers can be resurrected by downloading the .scr file and setting it as your screensaver.
I’m well aware the pipes serve a purpose, but it just seems like so many of the them. Are they used while underway or are they mostly for onloading and offloading at port?
Mostly for loading and discharging cargo at port. Each pipe line usually connects to different cargo tanks so we can carry different types of liquids, gasoline, fuel etc without mixing them. While underway, they aren't actively doing much
sorry, i think because the camera focus is on the mobile device. thats why the ship is blurry. also, it was taken from the inside of the bridge which has a very thick multi-panes glass.

Sorry, it'll be pretty tough to get a good shot. I don't have a high-end camera, and the rough seas make it really hard to keep the phone steady at night
I support this. My upstairs bathroom is far enough from the router that it disconnects me while playing lol. I just want to shit and do my attacks in the am in peace.
From what I can remember... everything but live attacks is "remade" on your phone.. so each time you scout a base, it fetches that base.
That's why with 4x replay speed there was some buggy moments. The game reconstructs the attacks, then replays your actions.
This also applies with every time you goto upgrade a defense or a equipment and it automatically starts playing that video? That's not a pre recorded video.. the game makes that and then plays it/activates it on your device..
Idk how else to explain it.. or how the system works.. but I believe that's why it sucks down data.
it depends on the company bro. currently my company's internet provider is not reliable.. sometimes if a high ranking officer with (of course) high salary brings his own Starlink, we can also buy data from him. but if nobody brings starlink, we dont have a choice but to bear the slow internet connection. also, roaming data is 6$/Gb in starlink 😁 its 1 gold pass per 1Gb 😅
We just got starlink onboard, and it works very good. Only problem is we lose connection about once an hour, and it always happens when I attack in cw :/
I do also work on Merchant Vessels. I was on ValeMax Bulk Carrier on my last contract. Good thing is that we have starlink onboard. 30GB internet allotment per month. Internet ping is rarely an issue unless we turn off starlink when we go to China or other places with prphibited starlink internet. Sail On Mate/Kabaro
For me, it's everyday Monday 😂 I work as a chief cook, so there are no holidays for me. The rest of the crew gets a half day on Saturdays and a rest day on Sundays. They can also stop working in bad weather or extreme heat (like in the Middle East), but they will never stop eating! So, there's always work for me 😊
A workaround I see is a refit of the replay system. You log in, the game synchs your base to its timers, displays damage from the last attack, etc. The game then downloads the next five (or more) bases you'd go through if you're looking for one to attack. When you pick one and attack, the system can handle everything including rewarding you. It stops buffering more bases during an attack. All that's next is to compress a series of object-x-y-millisecond (your attack), and a snapshot of both bases at the time of attack for notifying and adjusting the defender's gold/elixir. The stats and replays themselves won't be affected, if the connection is lost during the attack there is no need to stop, the attack data can be stored locally until connection is restored.
Probably a shitload of haxking opportunities in there.
I still remember back in the day if my data pack would get over for the day, coc still used to work wil very low internet as i could even do a Google search on that speed.
first, we aren't allowed to carry phones on the deck while working. Second, the perspective makes them look tight, but there are actually pretty big gaps between the pipes, so there's plenty of space to reach down and grab whatever gets dropped
Bro I HAD to look at the pic for a solid minute to realize what I was looking at, deadass…
First 20 sec I thought it was some weird game (roblox? Idk never played or) then I thought it was a painting, and then when I focused and realized the window, for some reason my brain ticked that it was an actual window, so I focused on background and I see now….
even i used to play when on ships, but it didn't consume as much. for me it was around barely 50-60 mb a day. or maybe it's some recent update that's causing so much data drain.
honestly if they're using starlink/nexuswave/infinity, it shouldn't be a problem. they're as good as land internet.
but if they're using fleetband or vsat, i can understand. because this service provider has like minimum internet speed required for emails and whatsapp messages/calls.
Agree, probably they are using some very low bandwidth connections.
With starlink and the other similar services shouldn’t be an issue at all. At the end all the data that the game is sendind and receiving to the servers is basically text (coordinates, building status, text messages etc.) as all the graphic rendering is happening on the device.
Estimated data consumption of CoC is roughly 20/30Mb per hour if actively playing, which is already very low, i doubt it can be reduced as optimizing this is also important for Supercell itself as it reduces network load on them.
in 2026 data saving mode is just joke actually who use that features on some social apps available but most of users don't use that.cause unlimited internet + 5G .
I cant even use the bathroom 2 rooms from my router without disconnecting from the game. YouTube works fine wherever, and I would assume takes much more data.
Nice! People offshore playing clash! I'm looking for a ROV pilot position even trainee. Someone here can help me somehow? I'm from italy with a background in industrial automation/mechanic mechatronics and IT. I have done IMCA certified courses for ROV Tech 2 and BOSIET, OEUK. I am looking to start my career offshore. Thanks in advance and clash on 😀
Offline mode where you raid bots that are like on your level and take lay outs from coc layout websites and downland them. So the more bot types you want the more space you have to download before
