Before I start, I absolutely love this game and how realistic it is. I don’t mind the death or killing or any of that. It’s just that some flavor texts that are directed at the player or suggest/imply things about the player bother me.

Originally, this was a suggestion to implement an option to disable the text. However, someone mentioned a suggestion for new flavor text instead. One suggestion for new flavor text the person had mentioned was ”You smile as you leave the cub beside a nice tree, knowing it would go to a lovely home.”

The current text for abandoning a cub is, "You have abandoned this cub. Perhaps someone will love it more than you did."

As AppleCiderp (#92197) mentioned, adding an option to disable the text might be too much work for coders. With changing the text, it’d be a lot simplier because they wouldn’t have to add or remove any codes, they would only have to change a line of text.
Any other new flavor suggestions could possibly work as well!


To those who say it’s just a sentence or to just ignore it:
The current text always brings up really bad memories of my childhood, which wasn’t a good time for me. I cannot ignore it. That’s not how my mind works. I can’t help but always pay close attention to details and read things over. That’s just how I am. I can’t just get used to it. Please understand that I cannot change how I am affected by certain things.



This suggestion has 66 supports and 47 NO supports.

While I'm sorry the text bothers you (I've never abandoned a cub so I don't know what it says) I'm voting no support because I feel like there are much more widespread things than one flavor text that the team should work on.

No support from me. It just seems like an unnecessary addition when you can simply ignore the flavor text (I ignore them all the time - it's not hard at all).

Einstakur, agreed! And the flavor text honestly brings up some really bad memories whenever I see it

It's flavor text. On a game.

Abandon the cub and then click to another tab before it loads up. It's not hard to avoid.

Disabling would be a lot of work, so no support for now. I know ignoring it may not be easy because of your past, but there's different options, you don't HAVE to tree them, nature reserve-ing them or plain ol' selling them.

But I saw you say that somebody suggested to just change it to something sweeter, and that would work.

I understand how it could be difficult. I might change this to moreso talk about changing the text instead, because then all the coders have to do is change what it says instead of implementing a whole new system.

I like to tree cubs so that people can get nice looking, free cubs. I’m not a karma nut and I don’t like to soend my energy specifically for it. I would consider donating on forums, but it takes me too much effort to keep it updated for both of my accounts, set up in general, and gifting is currently bugged for me so I can’t send anything (already bugboarded it).

If you do change it to changing the text, I'm willing to switch it to a support.

I understand, you could always offer them for 10sb or very cheap so that everybody can afford it too~

God, agreed? Not sure why but I just,, can't tree cubs? The text just makes my anxiety kick really bad and it really puts me out of the mood to play lioden for awhile.

Definitely support. The current flavor text not only makes me feel bad for treeing the cubs but is also very passive-aggressive about it, like I shouldn't be using a feature that is CLEARLY meant to be used for the benefit of other players.

I'm really concerned now, what does the text say?
I only nature reserve cubs, cause I'm afraid someone would just kill it once they get it, and same with selling.

"I'm really concerned now, what does the text say?"

"Maybe someone else will love it more than you did"

I find it kind of funny. Maybe that makes me a dick, but it's a game so
