Daily Notification Suggestion

Post by Aywren »

The big green box we get with daily notifications is a great idea, as long as you only have a few horses. But once you start getting a good sized herd, it's impossible to read what's going on - it comes on and vanishes so quickly.

As a player, I don't really need to see "Sally is a happy horse" every day. That's great to know, but not very useful.

What I do need to see is when horses need care or when foals are born. The rest of the info just makes it more difficult to see important things when they happen.

I'd love if it would notify me once fillies and colts are ready to breed such as: "ColtXYZ is now fully mature and can breed."

I'd find that super useful as there's plenty of times I've missed a few breeding weeks because the size of my herd makes it hard to keep up with everyone. This might not be a problem for folks with less horses or who tend to be more organized than I am, but I would really use it! :)

Thanks for your hard work and for considering the above thoughts!

That system is still a work in progress. The happy horse message is left over from beta testing. Everything will be cleaned up soon. :)

I've added in this suggestion and I've also removed the "Happy Horse" message that isn't really necessary anymore.
