It’s a little tough to figure out how to balance this idea properly so please leave suggestions before hitting no support.

In a day you can accumulate 960% energy, yet a vast majority of players aren’t logging in the 9.5 times a day at the exact right time to use it all. Here I’m trying to brainstorm a way to let players use more of their energy.

The first idea is an oasis purchase that lets your energy bar fill to 200% so that you can utilize more energy that accumulates in the day without having to come back to the site so frequently. It doesn’t grant more energy just allows you to utilize the energy that goes to waste when your energy bar fills up completely.

The issue is energy items.

Easiest option would be not allow the use of any energy items or boosts while the feature is active.
Or have these items only affect up to 100% and not the full 200%

Or you can allow people to go crazy with items but only have the feature last until rollover instead of an extended period like the feed all play all.

Another option for how this feature could work is a purchase that gives you all the energy for the day at once. 960% in a lump sum and you don’t receive any energy through natural refresh till rollover. Any energy used before the purchase would be subtracted from this energy payout.
This is a great option for if you know you are only going to be online once that day but don’t want to miss out on the event or maybe you just really want to auto breed some 1% fert girls.



This suggestion has 17 supports and 19 NO supports.

I like this idea bc theres many times when im not online at events and then when im online i badly need energy (or as last time when i needed gnawrock for one of my girls heat and bc i didn't have energy to get enough jb i didn't breed her and lost her heat bu possible its better to wait 8 day than 20 to make right breeding with items 🥲)

i’m leaning towards no support, sorry. i feel like an integral part of this game is checking in fairly regularly depending on your schedule. energy refills and lionesses returning from hunting and submales returning from patrolling, etc. it’s fairly common in these types of games for people able to dedicate more time to the game have a kind of advantage while more casual players are limited by how much time per day/week they’re willing to check in.

I do agree with you however the site has always had many ways to ease your play through with money. Don’t want to feed your lions, pay for it, don’t want to wait for your lions to age, pay for it, want a new king, claim a lioness, mods ect. So if a person wants to be able to grind without constantly checking in they should have the option if they pay for it.

i disagree. i dont think the option to pay your way through this game in this way should be available. going back to your point at the top of your original post, it would be VERY tough to figure out how to balance this.

even if every player can *technically* currently receive a total of 960% energy every day, almost nobody is able to spend it all throughout the day. but if some players were able to receive 960% energy every day with a lump sum, that would cause a massive balancing issue, especially for months like February and October. most of the other paid features in this game (feed all play all, auto claiming, etc) offer a *slight* advantage over others, while your suggestion would cause a much bigger advantage. the 200% energy bar suggestion is a bit more reasonable, but I can still see problems occurring there.

just because there COULD be an option to pay for something doesn't mean it SHOULD be in the game. i think it's very important for this game to still have elements where you have to actually put time and effort to make your goals a reality.
