Settings for Automatically doing beneficial actions

Post by ColorfulPockets »

Is development of this game on BGA still active? Two of the top bugs/feature requests are for the ability to automatically accept beneficial things in the game (such as gaining food from a Belted Kingfisher without confirming it, or always taking a berry with the Northern Cardinal). I think that a very basic version of this would be easy to implement: just have a setting for “Always accept beneficial powers,” and if the user has it set, don’t prompt them to confirm these abilities. In the base game, there are literally no downsides to accepting extra food when you can (if it doesn’t come from the birdfeeder), and there’s no reason to not cache a food on a bird or not to lay an egg on a bird with its ability.

When I started playing several months ago, I assumed this feature would be coming soon because it was suggested so much and was such an obvious improvement (especially for async play). But those same requests are still open from November.

I hope this doesn’t sound ungrateful for the development that has been done so far; I love the game and it’s a good implementation, I play it a ton. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether there still is active development ongoing, or any plans to add features like this.

Yes, development is still ongoing, but I have had less time to focus on BGA development due to important life changes in the last several months. The version I have been working on in Studio has implemented most of the popular feature requests and bug fixes, but I will need to do some thorough testing before deploying it to the main site.
