Add a Pup/Wolf selling/compensation mechanic [14/12/20 - New Community Suggestion Added]

I support this 100000%!  I love the first idea. It sounds cute and fitting as some packs really do have fertility/pup care issues! Something needs to be done about all the extra pups, and having one way to gain even a little extra SC would be super beneficial. No one wants to go broke paying for studs, only to chase the pups or they sell for nothing anyway. I really love ALL these ideas, and something soon would really be nice ^-^""""

Big support to this! I especially like the quest snake asking for pups of a certain base/eye color/marking type, because it might encourage pups to be bought from the TC. 

I love the quest idea for the puppies!

I came here looking for anything relating to the idea I had about excess pups - let me try to explain.

Could there be an "orphanage" of some kind? That you can dump puppies on and maybe there's an NPC or two that runs the place, taking in unwanted pups. The idea could be that any pup that's left there can show up as an adult NBW in explore, OR you could have the option to leave them "up for adoption"?

So for example, if I bred a Wolf A (T1 base, non-combo marks, stats under 250) to Wolf B (T2 base, combo marks, 800+ stats) and ended up with three pups - all T1, only one with combo marks, mid range stats, and they're cute but just not what I was looking for. So I go to the orphanage and drop them off with the request option to leave them "up for adoption" and this way they could be claimed by another user who visits the orphanage looking for a nice looking pup but not needing specific stats or colors.

The idea of adoption is like this - instead of the TC being flooded with low stat, T1 pups they could be left here for people to browse through and adopted for a fee based on their stats, base, number of markings, combo/not combo marks (and no I do not know what that fee would be exactly).*edited to add that this way the pups are still being paid for, are still being seen as something of value, and aren't going to be adopted just to be chased to thin out the market.

They are all in one place and the TC could be used to buy and sell higher stat, higher demand pups and wolves without getting lost among "please adopt me!" and "refunded, only 1 SC!" because that's the only option for these pups to continue to exist at this point. I do understand that the search function in TC helps weed out those listings if that's not what you're looking for, but the issue is more of the space they are taking up in people's dens until they are sold and many end up chased or running away and many people don't want that to happen.Some pups just aren't as popular but they're still worth something.

Yes you can control how often you breed, yes you can control how many wolves you have space for. I just think it would be a nice mechanic for people who end up overrun or are looking for something specific that doesn't come through in that litter.

Maybe you could get like a 1-5SC payout for each pup so it's not a total loss? Just an idea but not necessary for the main idea of it since most people are refunding or selling these kind of pups for cheap from what I've seen.

I think this mechanic may even be able to be using in conjunction with the pup quest snake idea!

I absolutely love this idea. 

Honestly it's kind of wild that a game where one of the big mechanics is "breed cool pups" doesn't have something for this. I'm 1000000% behind the orphanage. 

Awesome! I'm glad it made sense!

I think it fits in well enough with the flow of the game as it stands now to be functional and useful if it's put into action. It doesn't take away anything from people who breed for specific markings and bases and stats and mutations. The TC would still function exactly as it does, just with less of a load because there would be another option for all these pups and adols that just don't sell.

I've chased so many pups that wouldn't have sold in TC. I wish they could have stayed alive somehow without me having to house them until they were adults so they would have a chance.

I really love the suggestion by Websteak & DogBlud, simply because the Gorilla Enclave works so well on Lioden and this would just be a Wolvden version of it. I think this would certainly help the economy have more balance, give potato pups a purpose, and help unclog the Trade Center with unwanted pups that people still want to make some money off of. 

This would be wonderful if it was the next big project the Devs worked on. I appreciate Breeding Males, certainly, but this is still a huge issue. 

love love love all of these ideas! making it into a quest is honestly brilliant.

Big support for this! It would be a big stress reliever 

Big support!
