Currently you cannot use some breeding items on your stud if you have a heat request out. I do not have a complete list bc I do not have the funds to check them. If you find any other items please let me know I’ll add them to the list! I think you should be able to use Opal saltlicks on your king with heat requests out.

The item that brought this function to my attention is Opal Saltlicks - a monkey business item that passes the eye color of the parent it’s used on to all cubs in the next breeding. I checked with modbox and it is indeed an intended feature but I was welcome to make a suggestion to change it.

I personally don’t see a good reason to not be able to use them. They don’t change your king (like example, an eye dust would). When you have a stud request you can still use items of this nature. I’ve personally used an Opal Saltlick on my king before accepting a friends stud request as a gift to them. And many times I’ve sent a stud request to someone and then used items on my lioness that I forgot.

It’s really unfortunate when I have about 7 heat requests out that I’ll lost my spot if I cancel bc I can’t stack 7 Opal saltlicks and then wait. And I can’t use them between breeds bc you can’t apply when a request is out.


Current list of breeding items you cannot use:
- Opal Saltlicks
- Ochre Gnawrocks(?)
- You can’t use black stallions on females who have pending heat requests

* You can apply cub litter items from what I’ve seen.


Lemme know if this exists elsewhere I’ll gladly go support there instead.

Clarification: This suggestion is in regards to using items on a stud for ANY breeding request, not just items on the stud for heat requests.
