Auto-calculate shelter budget by category
Forum Index > Core > Suggestions > Completed >
It would be really nice to be able to tell how many of each category you can adopt at a glance, instead of trying to do math. Known eggs isn't super hard since it's half, but tbh the bigger number kind of makes my brain glaze over when I'm tired...
Here's a mockup of what I think it could look like:
(Note that the 4 unknown eggs value is rounded down, from 4.67)
I'm not sold on the wording of the "could adopt" line, I'm not sure it's fully clear that if you get those 4 unknown eggs you won't *also* be able to get the 7 unknown Pokemon. (it's definitely not clear that after those 4 unknown eggs you'd have 4 points left) But I wasn't sure how to make it better, and I think the value in having it auto-calculated is more that the possible confusion.
Full disclosure: I mentioned this in the QoL thread, and it's definitely something I could do there if this is rejected, but I thought I'd suggest it as a full site feature first, since not everyone uses QoL and I think this calculation would be especially useful to newer players?
I was just discussing this with someone, too.
I fully support the idea.
I wasn't sure if it's just because maths skill isn't fast for me to use.
Every time I go in the Shelter to see if I need to release more eggs for my quota or how much longer I will need to be hatching for in regards to boosts etc., my brain flinches before I can sort out the most simplest of calculations (half the number as I'm chaining an egg).
I can only sympathise with those who are chaining, and adopting for evolves, and shelter hunting for breeding pairs or sellable pokemon all at the same time.
I certainly would benefit greatly from an auto-calculator based on my remaining budget and the various uses of said points.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Fully support. My brain doesn't like to math. Computers are built to math for us XD Some days, I'm shelter hunting Pokemon. Some days, I'm grabbing eggs. I would benefit from seeing the progress without having to think about it.

They/them, for simplicity. Beathan sprite; egg sprites from Bulbapedia; avatar; Acacia sprite by me; Bee from Pokefarm Advent
I've put this information in the "Action costs" popup. How does that look?

Cool, that'll do it then!
