(not sure if this counts as a bug or a suggestion, but)

I was glancing through the lup themes to see which ones haven't been "completed" yet. It struck me as very odd that Autumn Chrysanthemum, which is a pretty old theme (2016), has yet to be completed. A quick jaunt to AS revealed that someone totally 6vis'd that theme. It's just that none of the 12tp AC lups have been regenned back to 6v yet.

Same thing with the Ghastlies.

And the Halloweens.

There may be others, too, but those examples are enough to get the point across.

I don't know if there is a way to incorporate regennable trait points into the codex. I don't know how that coding would work. But if it is possible, I feel like it should be done. It just doesn't seem fair that the hard work put into those projects isn't being credited simply because the owners are inactive and/or just haven't regenned their pets yet :\

Unfortunately, I am not really sure how I can handle this. There's a couple of things that make this very complicated.

Firstly, trying to search all of the Re-Gen'able pets to figure out if they were the first 12 Trait Point of that Themed would be taxing. So that's an issue just in of itself.

Secondly, there would be the issue of if the Player, for whatever reason, decided not to reallocate all 12 Trait Points when inevitably Re-Gen'ing the pet. This would be weird as now that Pet technically wouldn't be the first 6-Vis anymore lol.

And then just any other issues of trying to manage this information across multiple features instead of just simply being able to look at the pet's genetics.

I will see what I can do, but it's a bit complicated.

Just wondering how does the codex work, and is the "project completed by" fixed once a pet is linked? Or will it update if there are changes?

Eg:
If someone breeds a new 6vis and gets linked as the first 6 vis, then an old player returns to regen their 6vis, would it be updated?

Also, if someone breeds the first 6vis but doesn't like certain traits and use a nullification philter on them, making them no longer 6vis, would the pet still be linked?

(asking because I sometimes nullify traits I dont like, even on my 6 vis...)

The way it works is that it calculates the pets on demand and then once it's calculated, it's considered set in stone. This is done for performance reasons. It's taxing to search for these pets so it'd be a waste of resources to do it each and every time, especially when the 'answer' is considered forever static and unchangeable.

With your example of nullifying a 6-Vis to make it 5-Vis, it would still retain its title of being the first. So I suppose by that logic, non Re-Gen'd 12 Trait Point pets should also qualify.

Ahh okay, makes sense. I guess I should start nullifying at an earlier stage instead of hoping to breed out what I don't want each time then...


And yes, I guess non regen'd 12tp pets should still qualify then haha.

Going back to the original post, would it help to reference the 6v masterlist on completed themes? They would have listed the completed themes, from even before the species were revamped. and I think the player does check if they are the first before updating the list.

So it seems the calculation runs for eggs as well - I was looking through my owned themes and noticed there was a "project completed" that linked an egg. I guess it doesn't really affect anything since I'll see the traits in a couple days anyways. Is this intentional?
