This is so you cannot make more dust than you had when disenchanting and crafting runes. Instead, you are able to make runes of higher quality more easily." What are the odds a dust gets upgraded?

You can't stack them on top of each other, even if you rotate them, even if it says "Build yourself a fort with solid snow walls". Is this a glitch that needs to be fixed? Because they have never worked in the all the years they were released.

In the low energy screen, we have to scroll all the way to the bottom to access our small and large energy packs. I know that we can press the shift/ctrl key to speed it up, but it's still a pain since we use these energy packs more often than anything else. Is there a way that you can have them show up at the top of the list for our convenience? Thanks for all you do!

It has been a while. It has been difficult to manage the player council in addition to my other responsibilities. I'll re-evaluate and reach out later on. 2) Fair point about the DNA reward for the creature collector quest line. I'll take it into consideration for the next one. Thanks! 3) Trading/selling pet eggs has been suggested before, and it's something I hope to address in the potential "Zoo" idea I had discussed in prior years. 4) I had mentioned this in last Friday's chat: I've limited dev chats to 30 minutes to maximize development time, as many players have made it clear they want new content and fixes. Developer chats are much more flexible than the live stream, so I've elected to reduce dev chats to accommodate this. More production goes into the streams, and reducing that time would hamper their value.

The rare dust odds are a bit complicated to explain, but an simple way to explain the Alchrafter Certificate effect is that it gives you an additional chance for a normal dust to upgrade into a rare dust when disenchanting.

You can't stack them on top of each other, even if you rotate them, even if it says "Build yourself a fort with solid snow walls". Is this a glitch that needs to be fixed? Because they have never worked in the all the years they were released. That ranch item was added before I took over the game, but I imagine because it has the dip and isn't just a straight flat wall, that it's just intended to be a wall of the fort and not stacked. That being said, it might be interesting to add just a square snow "Brick" that you can stack and build forts out of!

Is there a way that you can have them show up at the top of the list for our convenience? Thanks for all you do! I can see how that would be annoying. I could potentially sort that list in reverse... Could you tell me why you're holding on to the other energy items instead of using them?

94 Posts	Link to post - Posted March 10th 2021 at 3:29 PM Vegan1964 The zoo idea sounds great! Would this be another island or something in the commons? Would it be possible to have a giant aquarium that I could build? Maybe put in the zoo? It seems odd to put my fish and other aquatic critters inside a fence. It would be great if there could be wall and floor pieces so I could expand it to fit more fish. I like having places where I can exhibit my pets, trinkets, mounts and other collections. It's more fun to have them out than just kept in storage.

My vision is for it to be on another island, and you would work together to clear/settle it together before being able to claim a portion to start your own Zoo. An aquarium for your water critters is a brilliant idea! I was imagining a "meadows" area where you can let them roam more freely, and having an aquarium version of that would be fun!
