When the progress bar on any of the festival growing sylesties i.e. brews, gardens, sandboxes, and the "Collect Sylesti" button appears, players have the inability to further use any additives like trait determinors or stat boosters.


The Proposed Change:


When the progress bar is complete on a festival growth pet and the "Collect Sylesti" button appears, players should be able to still have the option to add any last minute additives.



Why its good for the game:

Players receive no warning on the festival page that once that button appears they will no longer be able to add anything to their pets.
With the diamond shop being advertised and used as an avenue to receive ingredients for sylesties, including the sylesti itself, making sure ingredients are usuable until the player is actually sure they want to collect their pet is imperative as real-life money may be involved.

This change would also be able to incentivize more purchases as players can finish the progress bar and decide if theres anything else they wish to add to the sylesti, purchasing that which they lack and add it to the pet before collecting it.

Players are encouraged to cooperate and help others progress which means the player doesnt have full control to stop growth progress. Between that, work, and timezones, a player may not be present to add ingredients to a pet before that progress bar fills up. This change makes that less punishing to them especially as free to play options of grinding items can take some time or luck.


This change would also encourage players to start growing a pet earlier in the festival rather than near the end once theyve gathered everything and potentially having to rely on autocompletes.
