Re: FAQ: The Frequently Asked Questions thread (Updated Nov 2023)

Post by kunigund »

Hello,
as my keep/critter collections is expanding, I have a few questions regarding keep and tab size to not break my keep or cause any trouble to MS. I searched but did not find any clear information (even though I vaguely remember a discussion about this, but I do not remember where and when).

- how many critters per tab are considered safe/not breaking my keep?
- what is the maximum keep size (roughly, like 30k, 35k or whatever) to be on the safe side?
- how many critters can be added to a trade for storage purposes (e.g., with Anna) if I do not plan to move them back into my keep all at once?

Perhaps this information could be added to the FAQ.

Thank you!

There is no set limits for these, and they are partly dependent on the user's browser. Different actions throughout the site also access data in different ways which also affects the limits.

Usually around 2500-3000 creatures per tab or trade should still be safe, and the tab and trade loads. Some people's browsers and devices can handle more, some less.

I know of a keep with over 72000 creatures in it, and the keep itself is fine. Certain actions however won't work, and the keep has tabs that simply won't open. :t-shrug:

Is it possible to get a lineage's case of name changed? Since they're not case sensitive, I was just wondering because I accidentally capitalized a word in one of mine. XD

This may be a stupid question and I don’t know what to do. I’m wondering if there’s a way other than manually going through each group if there’s a way to find my 5th egg I have seemed to have lost? It’s in one of my collections and and I’m getting annoyed going through every single group

Go here and type '1' into the eggs category. (not the snowflake icon one, that's for frozen eggs) Check each of the creatures it shows and on said creature's page, it'll tell you what tab(s) that type of creature is in. :)

No worries! Misplacing eggs is such a pain. XD
