I would like it if we could search for studs in the breeding offers by color. Whether it is superficially (White Gyrfalcon Roc, Silver Grey Unicorn) or for researched color/pattern genes (Grey, White, Spotted) it would make for finding partners to breed deviants with a little bit easier.

Just found it incredibly frustrating to search through page after page to find studs with similar looking colors to your pet and then to go through each individual pets page to see if they were homozygous for color/pattern.

So... like or dislike?

Liandralithe, I'm not sure if someone has messaged you already to tell you this, or if you already knew this and I just misunderstood you, but the Breeding Offers already has a feature that can be used in this way with beasts that have been researched.

Next to the Search:, found above the first pet listed and to the right, you see a [+] like in the Pet Auctions. If you click this it opens up the Search Menu where you can search for a maximum of 2 genes in the genetics section of it, and 2 is all you need to search by color/pattern.

To do this, first select the species you're looking for, since that will limit the gene search to only the genes available for that species instead of cluttering the menu with all of the possible genes in the game, and then search the genes you need for your preferred stud; in the case of a White Gyrfalcon Roc you would want to choose White as the Skin Color for Gene 1 or 2, and select Bird of Prey in Skin Pattern for the other. Then what you want to do is select "All checked" to ensure the studs that come up will have both of the genes you are searching for. There is currerently no Homozygous Gene option to show only beasts who has this gene as both thier recessive and dominant, but if you select Only Dominant it will bring up only the beasts that show those traits for their skin.

Now, when you select a female to breed straight from your stables you then have 2 of these Search Menus. 1 is above your males and searches only through them, while the other is above the males listed in the Breedings Offers and searches only through those ones.

I hope I explained myself clearly enough and was of some help! I actually just posted a suggestion regarding the search menu. Or rather, 2 suggestions in 1 forum; 1 that will add the Search Menu to stables so you can search through your pets that way, and a second suggestion that involves refining the menu to include more options (such as a Homozygous Gene option).

Oh, did not see that. I knew about the expand search option, but thought it was only for brain, paws, muscles... Just saw the color option, thanks to you. Will make my life easier now :)

Going by genes relies on the user to have researched their pets' color/pattern genes, whereas the color itself is visible to everyone. Having that as an additional search parameter is not unreasonable. It's something that you can already do, but is unnecessarily tedious.

Pull no punches.

I think it would be nice to search for more than two genes. Maybe as a premium feature, or as an addition to a building somehow (if we could make it fit the game)... Often I want a a pet with specific genes and color... Yes I can look at the image, but that can be tedious as Senorali said.
