Everyone loves the Zebra Heart, right? No waiting several days for your newly-aged up lioness to come into heat, or waiting 8 days if you happened to miss your lioness's heat.

Unfortunately, the Zebra Heart is non-discriminatory, meaning it shows all adult female lionesses you have in your den when you go to use it in your hoard. This includes females that have breeding cooldowns, are eligible for the Zebra Heart, and are currently in heat.
Now, it is frustrating to see every lioness pop up in the dropdown menu, but I can deal with those that are on a breeding cooldown, since it gives an error message that it cannot be used.

However, it is a major issue that females that are already in heat show up, and even worse that the Zebra Heart WORKS on them! Why is this even possible?
A few months ago, I accidentally used a Zebra Heart on a lioness in heat, but thought I must have not seen the lioness right, so I ignored it.
Today, I ran into the issue again, where I accidentally used a Heart on a lioness in heat. I tested it one more time on a different lioness to make sure I wasn't imagining it, and yes, it worked again.
A friend also tested on a lioness with 1 day of heat left, and discovered that the Zebra Heart brought the lioness to 3 days of heat. I can understand this might be useful to some people who wait long times for studs to come online, but we also have the Baobab Fruit item for that.



I took a series of screenshots on the second lioness that I tested :

First screenshot : Lioness page + time; shows her in heat
Screenshot

Second screenshot : Zebra Heart use on the lioness in question
Screenshot

Third screenshot : Userlog showing that the zebra heart was used on this lioness, + time
Screenshot



============================================================================

Now, what I'm suggesting is this :

Change the Zebra Heart to only allow lionesses that do not have a breeding cooldown or are not currently in heat. I don't know if it would be easy to make it so that they don't show up in the dropdown menu at all, but if so, please do this! It would help minimize the chances of making a mistake.


If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

Edits :
Possible suggestion : Perhaps there could be a double-checking system where a notice pops up saying "this lioness is already in heat, are you sure you want to use this item?" because then that would cause people to double-check which lioness they're using it on.



This suggestion has 188 supports and 1 NO support.

I never jad this issue. As I typically know the name of the lioness I want to use an item on.
However. I think it is great to know that it'll extend heats! Imagine using one on a lioness with 0 days left but you need a day for a fert item or something!
You dont have to get that pesky fruit from Feb :') (man the money people have been wssting on those when zebra hearts do the trick!)

That's true, and it's my fault for not naming my lions very unique names or double-checking which ones needed the zebra heart, however the only reason I made the mistake today was because I had 2 other lionesses that needed a Zebra Heart used on them, so I got a little confused on which ones needed it.

It's very true that it can easily be avoided by checking for sure which ones need the heart, or even re-naming them to know which need it, but I feel it shouldn't even be an option in the first place because it's so frustrating to use it on a girl who already has 3 days left of her heat.

Perhaps there could be a double-checking system where a notice pops up saying "this lioness is already in heat, are you sure you want to use this item?" because then that would cause people to double-check which lioness they're using it on.

Yes you can just check the name but when you have 251 territory all of them just kind of blend together.

A little trick I do is rename them something like 1, 2, and 3. And than go 1, 2,3! :) than just name them back.

Just a trick <3

Yes, that's true, but unfortunately not everyone has the time to go through and rename their lions. I'm quite frequently in a hurry to get stud requests sent out, so I try to do things quickly, which is why this happened today.

In any case, yes, it is helpful to rename the lions, but I feel it would be even more beneficial if this issue were not an issue in the first place

Maybe I'm just dumb and get confused and double heart when doing batches of 5+ x x, either way, this would be an awesome addition to the game and will fall in love with how Opal Gnawrocks currently work.

As someone who, on occasion, has a truck load of lionesses used for projects and doesn't have the time to go through and individually name all 100+ lions I have to support this.
While it may only take a few seconds for some people, especially those with lower slot amounts, it takes those of us with bigger territories a lot longer.

I mean i guess I just dont understand buying so many hearts???

Even for projects I only buy 2 or 3 to match my few lionesses with the rest of the group?

Is any project really worth 100+ hearts? (200gb x.x)

I mean, yes. If I was dedicated to the project enough I probably would.

Been in this situation, it was awful! Big waste of a zebra heart.
