((I believe this is in the right place, though I'm not positive.))

I realize a lot that I don't remember to send my lionesses out on hunts most of the time, and a lot of times, and I think it could be helpful to have an option in the Oasis to purchase an "Auto-Hunting" option. I imagine it would probably need balanced, but I know that I'd be willing to spend GB on an option to let me go off and not having to worry about it while the automated part takes care of it.

I imagine that the option would have upsides and downsides, here are a couple that crossed my mind:
+Every 30 minutes the maximum amount of lionesses would be sent to hunt.
+The hunted items could be placed either automatically into your inventory or bundled up for the player to open when they return.

--You don't get to pick specific lionesses
--You don't get to pick hunting locations-- you wouldn't be able to select specific locations to fulfill a snake quest.

?? - Since it's automated, I'm not sure whether or not the player could train adolescents with it?

Let me know what you think and whether you do or don't support it!



This suggestion has 22 supports and 11 NO supports.

Honestly this feels far too pay to win imo, as well as simply too easy overall.

Automated hunts would mean anyone with even a small amount of spare GB could gain easy stats for basically no effort. Those of us who can afford it would simply spend the GB and not need to bother to keep checking in and putting any time into hunting - effectively getting a ton of stats gains and food throughout the day with no input at all.

Hunting and patrolling are currently some of the few things you can’t really just buy - it takes time and effort to keep up, which is an important way of (somewhat) limiting stats spiralling out of control.

I don't even care about stats - this would be insane for another reason. Unless it were upwards of 100 GB a month, it would pay for itself quite easily.

I hunt ten or twelve times a day, with my main group of lionesses and then with my odd sixth one. Selling the carcasses I get to the monkey, I make (roughly) 1k sb a day, and because I don't feed on any set day, that's every 1-2 days for me. 30k or so in an average month. Assuming that the auto-hunter stops only when every single lioness you have available to hunt is out of hunts, and there's a possibility of 48 hunts in a day (this is assuming you have at least 26 lionesses set as hunters, or buy and use gmo chickens on your main team four times a day). Four times what i do in an average day. 4k sb a day and 120k SB in a month.

Now, not being able to choose hunting locations, you might get SLIGHTLY less than what i consider average per hunt, but I mean . . . even then.

if my math is off or this makes no sense, let me know; it's one in the morning for me and I'm so tired i can't actually focus my eyes for more than a couple seconds at a time.

This has a little chance of working if it isn't given any limitations. Like if the hunt was set up every time you would log in, then it would work, because then you are just paying for less clicks every time you open your lioden page but you would still have to see the effort of at least checking in. And while you are logged in for more than 30 mins then there would be like a "one button policy" where there would just be a notification of "Your lions have completed their hunt and are ready to go again:" And by pressing one button on the notification they would be ready to go again without having to set up the hunting groups again etc.

Making hunting parties would help to control that with lions are sent on every automatised turn etc. Figuring out small refinements like that is simple in the end so I hope that you got the basic idea of what I am telling. c:
