Feedback Needed On Upcoming Embryo Implantation Changes
  • I will be updating some embryo mechanics soon here and could use some help figuring out how things should be displayed.

    -I am going to allow the pasture bonus of the recipient mare to be applied to any embryo foals they carry.

    -I am going to add the ability to use a mare "supplied by the university" for embryo implanting. For 1k you can just pay a fee and not have to have a surrogate mare on hand. (They will have no pasture bonus)

    An important thing of note is that more and more browsers are refusing to display ultra-long drop-down lists. This is a growing trend in browser design and will not be going away. As such I need to start hard limiting all drop-down lists in the game to never show more than 1k horses at a time. When I update the surrogate mare dropdown there will only be 1k horses listed.

    Currently, the game does not show you pasture mares in the surrogate options and displays mares in reverse alphabetical order (z first) so it is easy to force your surrogates to the top of the list.

    My question is how should the new drop-down be sorted?

    1)Should the University surrogate mare be the first option on the list or the last one on the list? (The game will remember if you selected a uni surrogate for your last foal.) - decided it will be at the end, other wise the game will keep picking this option over and over and driving people nuts.

    2) How should the list be ordered? Should it stay in reverse alphabetical order or should it go from most pasture days to least?

    Let me know what you think. :)

  • As soon as someone on Forest suggested that the uni surrogate goes first I realized that would be miserable as the game would always default to the no bonus uni surrogate for every single embryo you tried to implant. It would be so frustrating to use that way. I can't imagine anyone would ever want to use the uni surrogate (no bonus and more cost) if they had their own surrogates they could pick from. I removed that question from the OP. :)

  • I am struggling to think of a reason why someone who had a bunch of pasture mares they used for surrogate reasons would not just have them properly labeled so they showed up on the top of the list, but I want to see if there is anything I am missing here before I commit to a set up.

  • I vote to have it stay in reverse alphabetical order. I have all my surrogate mares named “Z surro #” that way they come up first and its not a pain to find them.

  • So if I want to use the embryo implant feature with a supplied horse (rad) I have to scroll down through 999 other horses first? That sounds…onerous.

    Will the university supplied horse have the 15 day bonus?

    Will a normal horse used get the 15 day bonus?

    This sounds great.
  • I ditto keeping the reverse alphabetical order. I also name my surrogates z# so that they appear at the top of the list. Would be nice to keep it that way to keep the habit.

    I like the idea of the pasture bonus being usable on surrogate mares. Though I'm not likely to use this feature myself. I am super limited on pasture space!

    Currently I either purchase surrogate mares from the foundation rescue, or create them. Then auction them after use. So I could potentially be interested in a UNI surrogate just to avoid those extra steps, even if it's more expensive. It would be nice if there was a separate button or something to use a UNI surrogate mare instead of having to go through 999 horses to get to it at the bottom of the list every time.

    I do have the same questions as Summer, if Embryo breeding with a non-pasture surrogate or then UNI surrogate will still have the equivalent of a 15 day pasture bonus?

  • I don't think you'll have to scroll through 999 mares every time to use the University mare, just the first time. After that the game will remember your last choice and you can just keep clicking create foal.
  • You already scroll through longer drop-downs than that all the time and don't even notice because it takes no effort or time to scroll through that many. It's a nonissue.

    ETA: The club entry mass removal drop-down already works this one and no one has any issues with it taking too long to scroll. Go to any club you have a lot of horses in and see the remove list. You can see how irrelevant scrolling to the bottom actually is.

  • Removal from clubs isn’t my favorite, nor is the refresh image in the IV shopping section. However, I do that once a month, not multiple times a month.

    But, yeah, once it is selected it should stay selected, even if I switch studs. And I only have 750 breedable mares, which is well under 999.

    I’m excited for this. Just don’t like long drop downs.
  • I like the reverse alphabetical since I also use z# and the university horse at the bottom would work fine for me.

    I am going to allow the pasture bonus of the recipient mare to be applied to any embryo foals they carry.

    So the surrogate will add pasture bonus if she was in the pasture? (I don’t think I will have much use of this but it’s a nice idea) Or the mare that was used to create the embryo?

    And I also have the question of the 15 day pasture bonus.

  • I will have to do a bunch of testing before I decide for sure, but probably the AI bonus and pasture bonus will be additive as a way to increase the appeal of pastures and balance it out with the strength of maxing.

  • It would be awesome if it was the mare that was used to create the embryo to get the pasture bonus.
  • The mare who carries the foal is the one whose health maters more so only her pasture bonus is applied. The doner mare provides DNA, not the environment to produce the foal.

  • Additive? Wow! Does that mean 45 days?

    And do you have a guess if this will happen this breeding season? I’d hold off for a chance this will happen.
  • I like the reverse alphabet too. My surrogate mares are typically in my barn, because my pasture space is limited. I like adding a "z" and having them come up first.

    Having that additional pasture bonus would be blooming awesome! AI is expensive and having that extra bonus would be a win-win for sure.
