Hello!

As a newly clean breeder with a Gen 1 Queen, I'm sure I share a similar sentiment with other clean breeders in that it would be much more convenient to be able to have a search preference for specific generation #s, or whether or not a lion(ess) is clean.

This is something that could be present on the search page (for breeding purposes: i.e. studs and lionesses/reverse breedings), as well as in the trading center (for buying purposes).

I was thinking there could be a checkbox that says "clean" -- and if checked you could also add specific generation preference that could be from Gen 1 to Gen 5, and you can select multiple if you'd like.

I'm not sure what types of coding have been put in place for heritage, meaning whether or not it's possible to detect inbreeding or big 4 for all lions, and if it's possible to detect the generation of all lions. If it's just too much work, I completely understand, it would just be much more convenient if it was an existing feature :).

I'm super open too suggestions and feedback, and if you don't support, please let me know why so I can improve this. Thank you!

Suggestions from Others:
StarCrossed (Pie Boy) (#35432) -- To possibly make coding easier, you could have a tag that is optional in which a player could choose to use it for their stud. Whichever studs are tagged would appear as clean in the search tool.
Helicase (#25664) -- Given it might be easier to code in "no inbreeding" and the "generation number" and harder to code in the big 4 (especially given not everyone includes those in the definition of being clean), you could code the first two and then everyone could look for the big 4 in the non-inbred lions they find.



This suggestion has 110 supports and 17 NO supports.

I feel like that would be a lot of coding work and maybe not possible but I have a suggestion

A search for key words in your stud search and perhaps and option to give a tag to your stud. Kinda like how you can give notes to your lioness maybe? I dont know if this would work either but just a little suggestion :)

@StarCrossed - yeah I feel the same, but thought I should at least try! :D And can you clarify further what you mean by a tag for a stud?

I mean it's just something I thought of when I read your suggestion but I guess I mean like a hashtag I guess?

So it would be
Lions name
#clean

But it wouldn't show under your lions name (or it would idk) but that tag would link to a search option in the stud search. So if you searched "clean" it would show all the studs that have the tag clean

I think looking for No Inbreeding and perhaps generation number should be relatively easy to do, and would do spades of good. As a clean breeder myself, I'd like to see this added.

As for looking for the 'big four', I personally think that given the other two options being added (generation number and no inbreeding) it should be really easy for users to simply look for the 'big four' theirself.

@Helicase - Thanks for the feedback! Super helpful. I'm going to add your suggestion of the big 4 thing to the suggestions at the bottom of the forum :D

While I do think this feature is nice, although I'm not one who cares at all about clean lions, I can only see this as making searches very, very slow and possibly even overload the server. This would introduce a requirement on every lion searched to also traverse its entire lineage, which is not going to be computationally cheap, and bound to get worse the more ancestors a lion has.

All for a feature with zero gameplay effects and is only really a self-imposed challenge many players put on themselves, I vote against support. I don't want Lioden to start choking on tons of database traversal processes running constantly.

No support. I don't have anything against "clean" breeders, but it is a personal challenge that has zero impact on the game. I'd rather the development team spent their time elsewhere.

Support!

would make it much more easier to search for studs. Either no inbreeding, or by generation would be very neat instead of having to comb though many pages of dirty studs!
