How accurate are the planning tools?
Our tools compare imported levels with ClashVault's versioned level and economics catalogs. Results show coverage because a newly released or recently balanced level may not yet have a matching cost or timer row. Treat partial totals as estimates, confirm recent values in game, and report a mismatch through the Contact page.
What is the difference between a player tag and a village export?
A player-tag lookup uses public data from the official Clash of Clans API, including heroes, equipment, troops, spells, siege machines, and pets. The public API does not provide a complete structure, trap, wall, or Builder Base inventory. A village export adds those categories from the exported snapshot, which is why Left to Max asks you to choose the input that matches your question.
What does economics coverage mean?
Economics coverage is the share of recognized remaining levels that also have matching cost and duration rows. A complete result covers every recognized level in that scope. A partial result is a lower-bound total for covered rows, not evidence that missing upgrades are free or instant. Coverage warnings are part of the answer and should not be ignored.
Can a calculator tell me the exact date I will max my base?
No. Raw upgrade duration does not know your future builder and Laboratory availability, farming pace, storage constraints, magic-item use, event boosts, downtime, or future balance changes. Use totals to compare backlogs and plan queues, not as a guaranteed completion date.
