Site Update
Kita (#3988) has been an absolute life saver. <3 She has taken over Breeding Mistakes and has finished ruling the 5.0 thread, along with uploading most of the fixes for that entire thread already!
She has made a new thread, Breeding Mistakes 6.0. She also has a ping thread!
Kita has also been helping fix old out of date breeding knowledge base articles, and made a sweet new add-on article that provides baby examples for most of the themed add-ons.
Clarification for the edit randomizers:
Staff has realized these add-ons were being handled inconsistently. This has caused confusion within staff, with artists, and with users.
To fix this, here is a clarification that will be followed from here on out (applying to all breedings in queue):
Edit randomizer offspring will be created on the genera's default base lines.
This means if you breed a Melo with a Melo using a BC, your baby will start from the BLANK Melo genus base and edits from the randomizer prompt will be added to that.
In breedings involving one or more SCC parents, where an SCC genera is rolled for the offspring, the offspring will be created on the randomly designated parent's lines and not the SCC's blank genus base. The breeding team are not expected to know what the "blank" base for any given SCC genus is.
As a large portion of the inconsistencies have involved Teos specifically, a new compromise has been put in place for Teo breedings. The default for a breeding with a Teo parent, where the breeding rolls a Teo offspring, will be to start from the BLANK Teo base. However, if you wish for the baby to start from the parent lines instead, you may request that in the breeding notes. If the breeding is Teo x Teo, you may not specify which parental line is used, just that you would like parental lines to be used in general.
We hope that makes sense!
We are HIRING still! GP pay only - but we are willing to be flexible on how many breedings you take at a time. For BC/HBC we would prefer you take at minimum 3 breedings due in 14 days, and for LBC we would prefer you take at minimum 5 breedings due in 14 days. Normal list size for these coins is 10 breedings.
Please apply asap if you're interested!

SeaCrest (#55939) - Thanks! I couldn't find it on the application page, it just said "Edits should be mixed on the babies, regardless of if the parent(s) had .PSD file" so I was a bit worried about that.

Haru (#46917) - This is because higher edited babies cost the site more money, and HBC was a non-backed coin. HBC is thus limited only to 30% edited babies max. :( And it applies to any BC-type breeding with Teos involved, and an edit randomizer.

Coryn + Nikki (#71366) Huh. Maybe I got it from an artist when I asked for general tips regarding MBC/LBC breedings lol
@ Haru I definitely meant to include "randomizers" somewhere in that first statement, oops. Mauri's got you covered though!

So if I don't have randomizer attached artist will use parent lines? Kyu & Mauri (#1010)

The Reluctant Ninja (#46916) Only basic randomizer is compatible with HBC because the breeding only gives 30% edit room. Unlike with BC, there's no way to get higher than 30% edits with HBC, I believe.
As a HBC artist I highly recommend users ONLY use randomizers for SCCs, you're losing out otherwise. It's foolish to breed two gold melos and get a 30% edited bab in return - FAR cheaper to MAKE the baby with a bronze CC/CO! It makes no sense whatsoever. Heck, just breed the two melos with a LBC instead. V_V

If I had the time to apply for the breeding coin artist place I would ;v; Also I'm totally ignorant about breeding stuff, too much so to be a breeding artist for sure xP
Kita is amazing though! I believe I knew them from another petsite(gone wrong unfortunately), evocality? I think we were both staff there ^-^

That add-on article is SO helpful, thank you! :D

Haru (#46917) I'm 90% sure that it only applies BC breedings with teos involved. Not sure on the HBC/Basic Edit Randomizer compativility.
Coryn + Nikki (#71366) They just use the PNGs. LBC hiring does not require editing, so it is not a skillset LBC artists are expected or required to have. This is explained in the LBC application, I believe?
