I actually didn't mind stud racing cuz what if you have a 1% girl and the stud you chose isn't on as offer and you loose that breeding

I partook in that, and it really was quite fun, even if I didn't win! A lot of people don't like stud racing, however, and this will make it easier for everyone on both sides. Support!

If it's feasible to code, then I support!

Edit: I've heard Xylax said it'd be difficult to/can't be implemented, so no support!

I think they should have had a poll asking and if it was 50/50 or about that they should have just went with on/off option

I am quite upset about the lack of polling over this, so hopefully one day a toggle is added. My stud had been available as an option to people who wanted to stud race, but without the ability to do so, there's little reason for me to want to keep him on the market.

No support. The code shouldn't be on the kings, it's on the girls. The check would be > Is out to stud, yes or no? Yes > no stud, no > can stud.

Edit: To expand, if you put a toggle on the King it would have to be 'King accepts stud racing', then each individual lioness would have to have their code changed to not only check to see if they themselves are sent out to one or more studs, they have to check to see if the King also accepts it. Which sounds easy... but to code it is a nightmare.

In Heat? > Is Fertile? > Is sent out? > Cannot send. Easy peasy. The code only has to check the lioness.

In Heat? > Is Fertile? > Is sent out > King 1 accepts racing > king 2 etc etc etc accepts racings > can send. This is much harder to check. It would have to first check the girl's status, then send a request to every potential King to see if they're able to be studded to in that circumstance. That's a breeding ground for broken code, and that's not even taking into consideration the additional coding you'd have to put in to deal with Kings who have toggled 'no stud racing' to on when a female is already sent to them. I, personally, would never attempt to code this.

No support as this is essentially a toggle button, which Xylax himself said couldn't be added, and I doubt the update would have occurred without talking through it with the coders.

In theory I wouldn’t mind a toggle, but if it’s anything like as difficult/almost impossible to actually implement as various people have said, I don’t think it's a practical solution for something only a relatively small minority would have any use for.

Especially if as Pip says it’s going to risk adding a whole lot of other problems and broken code. I’m not a coder, but I can see from that explanation that it’s way more complex than 'just add an on/off toggle' makes it sound...

Thanks, Pip; that's what I was thinking earlier but I'm not really good enough at this sort of thing to word it in such a way.

As disappointing as it'll sound, it's just not worth implementing something like this when you could really just use a Chasteberry or two, or a Black Stallion or an Angelic Blessing if you want to keep the 1% fert mut bonus, and honestly, there are much better ways to get muts.

The fees pile up quick, but muts were never meant to be dirt cheap anyway.
