I would really like to start a project but don't know where to start..

Selecting the traits and colors is alwais the first step, then you nead to get your firsts pets from the project. You can use essence or dye pets with the traits already selected, i personaly prefer essence as it remove any potentiel hiden trait that could mess with the result final but as you have a restricted trait you will nead an already breeded pet with only steempunk lightning. You will nead a minimum of 3 pets to start the project, from that point you can follow the steps from that guide until you get your final 4 vis. ^-^

ahh, well I don't have any essences or dyes so the project would have to wait a bit then ^-^'

you can still post in the pet sharing and designe discussion for people that would be interested in your project and would give you an essence/dye in exchange of a offspring of the compleated pair. ^-^

I would've never thought of that! haha thank you I will do that!
