I'm talking about from this page: https://www.huntandjump.com/et_createembryo.php

Both of these options result in an embryo that is then implanted in a mare but it says but one is 5k and one is 2k.

"Create an AI Embryo" says: Welcome to the ABSL's embryo transfer laboratory. This facility impregnates a mare using a straw. The resulting fertilized embryo is then harvested and placed in cold storage for implantation in for the future. This process costs 5,000 hb's. Additional fees will be charged during implantation and foaling.

"Create an Embryo From Egg": Welcome to the ABSL's embryo creation laboratory. This facility takes a previously collected egg and combines it with a straw to create a test tube embryo. This embryo can then be implanted into a surrogate mare during breeding season. It costs 2,000hbs to create a test tube embryo. Additional fees will be charged during implantation and foaling.

The former is created inside the mare and then flushed. The second is from an already collected egg.

Yup works out about the same but one is a two-step process.

@ConfluenceStable That's actually something I wondered about since I've never had a premium upgrade. So you can use a straw on a mare, transfer the embryo, and still breed that mare again that year, even though you didn't pull eggs to fertilize? Because that made sense to me, since the mare doesn't have to carry to term and should be able to cycle again, I just wasn't sure if that's how the game worked.

@Ammit Does transferring an embryo not count towards the foals-this-year count, just like a single egg flush doesn't? Because that's what the explanation sounded like to me and that's all I meant.
