Fancy Premium upgrade?! Now what?
-
I've been playing the game for a while now and just tonight finally got the premium upgrade, so what now? What's your favorite thing to do with the premium upgrade? What's the best part?
Any advice on setting things up? Any tips appreciated!
Thank you everyone -
Eggs are one of my favorite perks, you can collect one every 5 days from a mare, and then if you time it right, mass flush her at the end of the month. Though I just end up mass flushing 8-14 eggs is not a bad number. But mass flushing does use the breeding for the month.
The auto showing is another one that I love, I have barns set up to run twice a week, enough that I start at Sunday end on Saturday and have to start over with the days. Lol honestly set showing up however you’d like to I have a couple of days where my show entree fees are low, and some where they are over 10k but I make it back either way, and haven’t had my hb balance fall below 1mil in a long time.
The mass auction barn is great too. So is the 3 stallion 100mare primary pasture.Licensed for: All Axiom Genes, All Rainbow Riot 1 & 2 Genes, Splash M, Phantom except for Wisp, All Ice, Mushroom, Onyx, DFP2, Shatterglass, Chinchilla, Platinum and Height RegulatorThanked by 1kgstable -
To me, the use of strict breeding advice alone is almost worth the premium upgrade. I bought a single month at a time a couple times before just for that reason and ran all my stock through it. Chat room creation is also a very useful feature. I wouldn't want to do a forum auction or open up my barns to offers anymore without it in case the buyer doesn't have a chat room. It just didn't feel right to me to always be asking to borrow one or risk the sale on the public board. I also pull and flush eggs now like HelenofTroy said and auto-showing has turned out to be even more of a convenience than I thought it would be. The larger primary barn and pasture is also very nice, though last season I forgot and I only had fifty mares and one stallion in my primary pasture when I bred it. I kicked myself a bit when I realized I could have made better use of the best of pasture email by having it full. Mass auctioning isn't only a premium feature anymore though. I've been doing that for years with only a basic upgrade. I've glanced at the cloning lab but I haven't tried that out yet. The only horses I'd really want to clone would be so expensive!Thanked by 1kgstable

Like HelenofTroy and CLynnRose have mentioned, the auto-showing and eggs are awesome features, and I too use them regularly. The SBA feature is super helpful, and I use it on all non-bootstrapped foals. I also love the "My Bid Watcher" feature. It's a life saver when I'm bidding on several horses and don't want to lose track of any of them.
It's definitely nice to have my own chat rooms. Especially for private sales, it's much more convenient than other options.
Really, all of the premium features make it absolutely worth it, especially for busy people with large stables.Post edited by MackZ at 2023-01-15 01:24:42 -
Auto showing is definitely one of the best features. Once you set up the showing schedule for your barns you can just ignore your show ponies and let them bring in the money for you.

Autoshowing. OMgoodness, life would suck here without it!
-
SBA - I cut my breeding herd in half the first time I used it. It really helped me get better lines, quality superior offspring.
Autoshow = auto money lol
Even more fun AI breeding with eggs -
@Humboldt I've never used eggs, could you help explain it? It comes like a straw right? Do you pair it with a straw and create an embryo or use it like a straw where you pick a horse to breed and use it? (If that makes sense)
-
Yes, eggs come like straws. Each unbred mare can have a single egg collected every 5 days or you can flush her for a gamble of 8 to 14 eggs. She will be considered bred for the year when you flush her.
You can pair eggs with straws to create embryos only. You cannot use an egg on a stallion (like in real life as you need a uterus for the egg to grow).
The embryos can be implanted into mares (this is why I use pointed foundation in my barns). The mare hosting the foal is counted as bred, but the mare who the egg came from, is unbred until she is flushed or bred to a stallion.
This allows me to get many foals from my fancy gmtd mares. -
First go SBA everything and get the crying part finished
:-))
Then enjoy half-priced comp testing and pulling eggs. And the SBA pays off after that first sting LOL. Also the auto show feature is a lifesaver if you have to step away from the game for any reason or you just get sick of showing manuallyPost edited by Starstruck2 at 2023-01-20 18:04:54Starstruck2 on Bluegrass and Forest
