Chicken marketplace + search tool 0:

For a brief time yesterday, you could pick up Pullet Pool chicks for eggs. I was testing ways for people to buy chickens without trading in the forum. I quickly realised adding the egg-buy option defeated the intended purpose of the Pullet Pool (helping early players expand their gene pool).

Instead, I've added a marketplace feature—the Farmhouse! Anyone can list their chickens for purchase. Name your price, add an optional message, and see if anyone bites. I'm planning on automatically clearing listings that are >10 days old, but this has not been implemented yet.

Also, check out the brand new Search page. Look up chickens by genes, status, and ownership. Very proud of the layout work on it; it wasn't easy condensing that much info into one form! It's still being worked on, and I might add name search + ability to sort chickens by stats at a later time.

Other than that:

• All Splicers now have thumbnails (satisfying.)
• Pullet pool now regenerates one chick at 1am daily, if there are fewer than 5 currently in the pool
• Tiny Eggspedition changes: Walking onto a tile next to another chicken costs 0 steps. And, you can't walk onto tiles that already have a chicken.
• Some site-wide styling changes.

At this point, the dashboard is starting to feel a bit cluttered to me. Do you also think so? And do you think that any of the buttons could be named better? Let me know in the site discussion forum!
