I'm going to repeat my suggestion for different ordering ability for the pets (even if it's a choice between profile order and alphabetical, although custom would be best I think). I've got my profile pets filtered down as far as I can and all four of my main explorers are on different pages

hi, coud it be possible to add a select/deselect button for the pets on the explore feature? it would be a great help for me when working on the stats of my pet.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, I checked the thread and couldn't find anything regarding the age minimum for pets.

I'm not sure if having the age minimum being 30 days old to explore is very user-friendly to new users who join, want eggs to hatch, but can't obtain them because they have no pets to explore with. (Unless new players get a free creatu or something? please correct me if i'm wrong.)


possible ways to counter or balance this could be:

a) rental creatu
a new npc who lets you borrow or use a creatu for a gil fee. perhaps there's different tiers of creatu that will come back with 1, 2 or 3 items depending on how much you pay or how many food/health items you equip to this rental creatu. 
this would need to be affordable for newbies, and by the time you have or can afford an adult creatu, the rental creatu would be no better than your own. 
a restriction could be that you can only have 1 rental creatu at a time to avoid people just using 4 rentals to explore, if you feel this is necessary. 
I want to emphasise that these rental creatu would hold no benefits over regular adult creatu with base stats, so it would still encourage users to own one themselves. 
this npc could also double as a quest giver- requiring specific meats or plants so they can feed their rental creatu properly?


b) remove age restriction
but include different "weaknesses" the younger the creatu is. perhaps a young creatu can only carry 1 ob
ject as a baby, 2 as a teen, until its older- or maybe it can't 'learn' pacing strategies until they're more mature, and levels intuition more slowly. this would allow newbies to explore straight away, instead of waiting 30 days to be able to access what seems like will be a key feature of res.


if exploring truly will replace the traditional pop-up events of obtaining eggs, i think having the age limitation of 30 days locks new players out of this feature. this is a pet site after all, and it would be unfortunate for newbies to realize they can't obtain new pets very easily and leave not long after joining. 
I know there are other ways to obtain eggs & pets, like trash isthmus & atqueen forest, but this seems like its going to be replacing the *main* way to obtain eggs. everyone should be able to access it.


edit:: this would also potentially help with candle usage, where if a user was a resident of reiflem and wanted to use the atquati candle, they wouldn't have to have an aged 30 creatu from atquati to explore and find new eggs. this seems especially difficult for new users to achieve with the current restrictions.

Kittykat I really like your option B! You have very valid points here.

Good point and thanks for the potential solves! To handle this, the idea we were working with was to provide an adult creatu to new users.

Not me necro'ing the feedback thread 😩

But I'd really like a way to be able to see what level intuition a Creatu is without having to actually go to the Explore page. I don't want to drag out 10 different Creatu from different categories in my showroom only to find out 7 of them aren't my Explore pets

My memory is bad, especially when I have to wait months in between explore sessions because my foodpen ran out and I wanted to kill a few pets lmao


Something like this would be ideal, I think!

Posting again to ask for sorting methods -- level, species alphabetical, name alphabeticsl, etc with asc and desc options ;^;

would really really love a "delete all' button for the inventory like there is a quick empty, maybe quick delete all? just a thought :)

Twice in a row, I've sent my adult Cetari out on explore with Item Preference enabled and it comes back within seconds, empty handed, is this a bug?
It had a successful explore with Egg Rarity pacing strat on, but brought back eggs I didn't want so I was trying the Item pacing strat.

bugbolt are you healing it and feeding it before sending out again? Sounds like it is depleted of resources, that's why it would come back in seconds usually.

Oh! TYSM, I honestly didn't realize. The bars don't let me hover over them very long to see what each stat is so I didn't even realize health was depleted!

Suggestion to list basic requirements for sending a pet to Explore in bullet points at the top (or near) of the FAQ page. Age, planet compatibility, etc. The FAQ is pretty long and it can be hard to spot info that is useful right away. A tl;dr if you will.

We just added something like this.

Some of you have suggested adding sorting options to the Exploration page. I've just added a few!

I've also fixed it so that quick inventory empty does not remove locked items, and added an even-quicker button to empty from.

Love having an 'empty all' option, thanks Pat!


This is a small thought but I keep forgetting which bar is for health, hunger and happiness. Red for health, green for hunger and yellow for happiness seems to make sense to me - just as some rough idea.

> health (red) - #e1284d
> happiness (yellow) - #deb21d

^ hex codes for the colors I used, just for a rough idea

Also, being able to convert tu/rc would be great, if that's not asking too much lol

---

This has probably been discussed but I'd also love if my pets didn't disappear from my profile while exploring. Simply because I like knowing they are there for anyone who visits my profile to see. It makes me not want to explore with my favorite pets because I don't want them to disappear from view. I wouldn't mind being simply unable to select them, or having them greyed-out in the pet selection on the main side menu.

These are really nice updates. I agree with Oriette that the color changes would be nice for those who have more trouble with similar colors.

As for the sorting, I love that we can sort it now, unfortunately sorting by intuition if you have several with the same intuition changes the order randomly amongst those of the same level. There's no secondary sort (same issue in shops) so when there's any "change" on the page there's a chance they move around.

I think the most useful possible sort for me would be "the same order as the profile" since that's already saved somewhere. That and "intuition that doesn't change order because there's a secondary sort or it bases it on the exp, not the base intuition level"

I've also noticed that Explore is even more laggy than it was before this change. It was always laggy but it's almost doubled the time it takes to do any action on the page.

Hmmm, I haven't noticed any lag issues on the page. Do you have many pets in your profile?
