I thought the Rubble Rooster has the earnings of a Rare? At least it seemed to have the same earnings as a Rampage when I looked into it. Either way, it's messed up. I don't know why they are wanting to mess with the balance of rarity, food cost, and earnings. It was fine the way it was before.

Hope your 14 hour timer is a Dalmatian!

No, I was confused, sorry. You are right that I cannot store them. No, I don't have any duplicates that I can sell. I have done that long ago. Anyone who wants is welcome to have a look at my forest. I have crammed all of my gem animals into three habitats, and sold the ones I had left to make room. I have bought most of the 4 animal habitats. Guess this is what I get for playing from the beginning. I have all of the animals but the Dalmation and the Peyton, although the Egypt animals are in storage because I thought I would run up against this situation.

I visited your forest, it's very beautiful and very full! I feel for those that have to sell animals to make room for new ones. Hopefully TL will listen to the pleading of everyone for more expansions and increased habitats.
Good luck breeding the service animals, since I see you did purchase the new habitat. Hope the 14 hour breed is a Dalmatian.

For a good part of last week I was praying to God to give me a 17 hr breed time... All I got was 9hr 10 hrs raccoons and plant hers and of course dream bats
Today when the wooly mammoth is gone I get a 17 hr breed time... So I am getting the Pygmy giraffe...

Thanks! I hope they listen too, and I hope my animal is a Dalmatian as well, but if it is not, I will keep trying. I can always sell the habitat if I don't get an animal to put in it.

Hi Lee and Drachenia! I'm in the same situation, I have 66/66 habitats, and no more expansions. I have all of the animals released so far, with one on nest (Dalmation) and one in storage (Dusk Bunny). I don't think I have any duplicates besides gems, although my album says 200/202 and my stats say 220 Animals... And I don't quite have 20 duplicate gems and Treasure animals. ***I wish I could find duplicates to get rid of!
S8/TL, please add expansions and habitats !!. I can not place anymore habitats, and I have upgraded many of mine to hold 4 already. Now that my habitats are all full, I would have to upgrade 3 habitats to move all creatures from one habitat to sell it, to make a space for the new habitat. I don't think that is reasonable for you to expect me to do. Please don't make us beg to be able to continue playing! It's time for more room. I have been maxed out for months, and upgrading every time you released a new animal. This is starting to resemble the nightmare Dragon story became before the new expansion! Please don't let it get any worse!
Thank you, Annie

***EDIT: Found one duplicate! A chromadile, level 12, prolly from one of those "hatch a specific animal, then feed 45 times" events! So I sold it, moved some stuff around, and at least have room for the Dalmation! Now I can continue the quest, although I don't have any room for the 2nd or 3rd ones.

Hi,
I did see your signature line about not adding neighbours, but since you'd like some help with spotting duplicates I thought I'd try sending a neighbour request (coming from 'Diggy') nonetheless. :P
It can be difficult to simply spot the duplicates in a full forest, but the album can help you: simply click on each animal, and you will see exactly how many of those you have. It takes some time to do this, but it should successfully reveal all duplicates in a structural way.

Good luck finding the duplicates!

Hi,
Well, the suspense on one hand to see what the 14 hour timer was, was getting too much. And on the other hand, I did all sorts of calculations (using different scenarios) to decide whether to speed early or not. In the end, I decided that speeding early has several benefits: I can then put in more breedings early, and hopefully get the first target animal early so I can use it ASAP in 4-element breeding too. There's also the matter of expansions. I'm close to making a new expansion (I was at 62 runes) and as I intend to expand on the upper blue plots, there's a VERY long time required before the expansion and foliage clearing is done (over 48 hours in total). So, instead of waiting until tomorrow morning early (and then using some 4-6 gems to speed the remainder of the Rooster alone) I sped early at a cost of 19 gems.
Just as I feared, the 14 hour timer was a Volcamel. That was really a pity as I so much hoped to get a trio animal quickly for once. Also, I had the silent hope that the 14 hours timer would give 3 bombs, but it gave two. The last of the Koalas (before switching the earth-fire) gave only two too, which is now biting me in the rear, as I made good profit from the 2 bombs from the Volcamel and got 3 runes from each of them, so now I only need 2 more runes to start a new expansion.
I quickly put the same breeding pair in the den again and got a 13 hours timer, which is a Rampage. At this time I only need the Dalmatian from earth-fire so anything else is not going to be kept (I've gotten plenty of them from the music trio breeding). In three attempts still no Armordillo though: I'm shocked! :P
I really wished the Dalmatian had a unique timer, so the timer outcomes of a breeding can be put to better use to decide when to speed or not. It's a pity that it wasn't the Dalmatian as otherwise I would have set myself up for quickly evolving it to level 4 tomorrow and with a very tiny gem help be able to do a first 4-elements breeding with it overnight. Now (well, tomorrow after the Rampage is done breeding) I'll have to start all over from scratch. At least I should then by all means get enough bombs (and hence runes) to initiate the expansion.

D*mn, I shouldn't have teased the karma gods by mentioning my 14 hour timer early....

BTW: you're right about the Rooster's earnings; they do match those of the Rampage. That's still very small earnings for way too much food. This one may stay at level 7 for quite some time to come...

What did you breed together? Thanks for any help.

[HappyHeartBakery]

Attempt 1: armadillo.
Attempt 2 - thought I'd throw in a 4 element..(swan Prince & Wombattery). Ugh. 9 hr. Probably the same raccoon I've been breeding to try for the wooly mammoth

Attempt 3 - 17 hr fail (sped the Firefox fail & dropped bunny in nest while 17 hr fail waits in den).
Attempt 4 will be tomorrow.
