There is a new feature called egg hatching, which allows you to create an adoptable from an item.
Species Creators can add 'hatch items' for their layer groups in the new 'Hatching' panel. Each layer group can have a hatch item selected, allowing that species of that layer group to hatch from the item (this is randomized if you have more than one species selected for that item).
There can be up to 5 layere grups assigned to an item, allowing multiple layer groups to be randomized for the adopt that hatches from it.
You can either use your own items as hatchables, or use items that other creators have provided.
Item creators can allow others to use their items by turning permissions on through the item panel.
You can also use this feature for not just eggs, but any item (if you want to get creative) such as magic scrolls or other summoning items.
We have also added a new collection category for eggs.
"These small animals spend their lives collecting a hoard of small shiny gems, the bigger and brighter the better! Within their groups, the gems are used as both a primitive bartering objects and as a way to show off to other gem rodents."

Reserving Bug
2020-11-01 11:38:22
All adopt reserves have been reset alongside a bug fix that caused reserves to not be properly deleted after a sale (which causes the adopts to show up incorrectly in searches).
If you had any adopts reserved for you or others, these reserveations will need to be redone.
"These griffins are solemn creatures, seemingly tasked to be caretakers of forgotten graveyards. They bring flowers to graves that have been forgotten, and may befriend visitors who join them there."

"These massive four finned cetaceans swim across the skies, occasionally roosting on horizontal cliffs ledges and plateaus to rest, socialize and reproduce. These leviathans have the scent of several cups of sweet mocha, and as a matter of fact actually spout the beverage out during extreme emotions. Positive emotions invoke a warm and sweet tasting spout, while negative emotions makes the spout bitter and hot enough to peel the skin off bones upon contact."

"An experimental species, made of slime and strange ideas given form...
NOTICE: if you have a slymer affected by the layer order bug, you can change the base layer order to 0 and your slymer will be a okay!"

Level Rebalancing
2020-10-29 09:59:26
Level bonus (such as adopt slots) have been extended out to level 1,000 instead of 500.
This was done to help with potential balance issues, especially later down the line.
We have given out extra experience to players who are most affected (you may notice a level boost) and Secret Scrolls that can be used for more level boosts.
Thank you all for your patience. 4dopt is still only 3-4 months old at this time, and we are going through many turbulant early access changes.
Our goal is to finish most of the big changes before December 14th, but this deadline might be extended to make time for more work to be done on core features and balancing.
Re-balancing
2020-10-28 19:12:24
We've adjusted some of the explore and mass explore in regards to energy output due to balancing issues.
Recently, we wanted to make energy was plentiful, but they wound up too plentiful, to a point where it's causing lag and other issues currently.
We've scaled back the energy a bit, and reverted the yields to a chance between 5 and 10 energy per use (rather than always gaurenteeing 10) to help prevent this in the future.
"A subspecies of ever unchanging snekzals that has since far overtaken their ancestors' numbers, fenzals are far smaller, more mischievous, and legged. They don't get along with snekzals and other gentle species due to their opposing natures. They're often seen sneaking around and stealing food from unlucky passersby, travelling in packs of 5 to 15. When fenzals are expelled or separated from their pack, or grew up alone due to hatching from an abandoned egg, they will seek out new companionship. Fenzals struggle to spend extended periods of time on their own."
Fenzal was created by Sage.

Code Disabled

Code (such as HTML, CSS, etc.) has been disabled in customizable areas.
We are working on fixing an issue and recommend users wait a little bit for the upcoming updates on this.
"Beware of THE STICK! The stick travels in packs of sticks. They often sleep in matchboxes. A Grr is never with any non Grr since they always flail around."

"The life from this once shining star is fading. Starias recoil away from it, fearing its state will spread to them. The dust drifts away gently in the breeze, slowly disappearing into the sky."

High Account Level Bonus
2020-10-25 12:51:31
A 'high level account bonus' has been added to explore. When you gain experience from shooing or random explore events, you may now get a bonus depending on your level. The higher level your account is, the higher the bonus.
These bonuses are not particularly high, but make it beneficial to use only one account (rather than having multiple accounts). While we allow users to have multiple accounts, the game is designed to have greater benefit for single account use.
