Having to turn on so many different things, ONE at a time, is ridiculously time consuming...
Want to track Draes, Lunes, Lupes, Nytes, Qitari, Vorpa, Vulnyx, and Nixi all at the same time? This is how it goes..
Load Tracker's Hut Page.
Page does it's weird "I'm going to jump you back to this one exact spot even though you already tried to scroll to what you needed :D" thing of annoyance.
Activate Draes.
Load page again.
Page does its weird screen-jerky thing again.
Activate Lunes.

Click arrow to next page.
Activate Lupes.

Activate Zolnixi.
And this is just for ONE use. Plan on sticking around a few hours and want to add more tracking time? Go back to the start of this list and do it all over again!
Imagine wanting 3 hours worth. For the early ranks of the barracks? *points to the list* 6 times. 6 times you'd have to do aaaallllll of that. (And yes, I gripe from experience; this is not a hypothetical hyperbole. Might not have been these exact species but it was pretty darn close to it)
Barracks trading works in a way that you can select any number of any items and buy them all at once. It's quick, it's efficient, it's great. I'm in and out with no delay.
Training Grounds?
One at a time.
Tracking?
One at a time.
And these, unlike just buying some items, have TIMERS. The seconds tick away while you're waiting to reload, over and over again, to get all of your desired bonuses active. And sure, it's just a few seconds here and there, but it adds up pretty quick and just having to sit there in the barracks for 3 minutes trying to activate everything is frustrating.
And to turn them all back OFF when you're done? Same thing.
Load Page.

De-activate Lupes.

so on and so forth, blah, blah, blah, I think I've made my point.

Oh my goodness, yes. Please fix this! I've just started using the tracking hut this last week and it's been the absolute worst. Almost makes me not want to use it.
Just please, make is a little easier? The tracking is needed so much in the caverns, otherwise all you get is constructs and myconids. Pets are few and far between. And that really stinks when you're theme hunting.

I highly support this as well. Thank you for writing this up Xav, I do hope itll be implemented. Even time still ticks while you're trying to activate the rest, thats a few seconds off Id like to be able to save while on the hunt.

Agreed- especially since the bonuses for the cave enemies is on page two of the training grounds- by the time you've managed to get all the time bonuses added you've lost five minutes if you forgot to immediately pause them. But then you have to unpause them and it's just? Annoying.
It'd be nice if it was kinda like the diamond shop confirmation, like
"You have X amount of Y items, and A amount of B items,
you want to activate this amount of these bonuses,
it will take up Z amount of Y item and C amount of B item
Confirm? Y/N"
(And it'd be kinda nice to have it for salvaging items too, though more like "salvage +1" button like when you're making ingots so you can scrap a few of one item type at once)
