TOPIC | Rare Color Breeding Program?
@Rare Color Breeding Program

Just wanted to let everyone know that I added an "Idea Tracker" to the main post, so everyone can see what I'm planning!

(Also, if someone could remind me how to use the new text-nesting thing, that would be much appreciated, lol)

I have a
weird schedule,
so it might take
a while for me

were you looking for the hidden tags? [code][hidden]hidden test[/hidden][/code] [hidden]hidden test[/hidden] you can nest them, but i believe that does unpleasant things to mobile users, and so is best avoided.

Ah, good to know, thank you! I'll probably try to clean up the Idea Tracker section sometime this weekend to make it look a little prettier without having to nest, then.

i think simply hiding things under a handful of categories (the roles, threads and so forth) would help a lot for legibility. you may find the list of roles looks neater if you use the list bbcode. you can simply select the text you want listed and hit this button: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/forum_icons/bbcode/forum_ulist.gif[/img] you can even nest lists inside of lists! like so: [code][LIST] [*]green [LIST][*]jungle [*]hunter [*]forest[/LIST] [*]pink [LIST][*]coral [*]blush [*]cottoncandy[/LIST] [/LIST][/code] [LIST] [*]green [LIST][*]jungle [*]hunter [*]forest[/LIST] [*]pink [LIST][*]coral [*]blush [*]cottoncandy[/LIST] [/LIST] if i may say, however, i think you might be over-scoping a bit. assume at the start that you will have very few members and will not need many roles. i recommend consolidating your proposed roles a little. thead co-ordinator and central co-ordinator, for instance, would likely end up being the same player(s) in any case. i am aware this is only a rough concept, but it might be a good idea to try cutting theoretical roles down early. [quote name="@RemixPhoenix" date="2025-11-21 06:29:36" ] i do have a [...] few breeding pairs that produce rare colour combos! (plus most of my current and future planned breeding pairs are g1 x g1 pairs, so there's no risk of their hatchlings being related to any other dragons on the site :3) only issue is that a lot of my pairs are ancients, [i]but[/i] i have seen a few instances of people buying my ancient hatchlings and then breed changing them into cheap modern breeds to breed with, so it could be a case of "if people just want to collect pretty dragons with rare combos just for the sake of having them, they could keep their hatchlings as their original breeds", and then "if people want them for a breeding project, they could use one of the cheap modern breed changes" [/quote] your instincts are correct: if a colour combination is rare enough, then even an ancient in those colours is a valuable addition to the site. i myself have bought and fully re-gened ancients in the colours i desired because they were the only dragons available with those colours. on breeding projects, plentiful scrolls cost less than one day's fairground cap, so that is not much of a hinderance to breeding your ancient offspring with moderns. for a project with rare enough colours, it can be taken as read that breeding in the genes likely couldn't happen [i]anyway[/i], so an all-basic plentiful is hardly a problem. i have done a few of those myself.

you can even nest lists inside of lists! like so:
Code:
[LIST] [*]green [LIST][*]jungle [*]hunter [*]forest[/LIST] [*]pink [LIST][*]coral [*]blush [*]cottoncandy[/LIST] [/LIST]
  • green
    • jungle
    • hunter
    • forest
  • pink
    • coral
    • blush
    • cottoncandy

thead co-ordinator and central co-ordinator, for instance, would likely end up being the same player(s) in any case.

Oh cool, I didn't know there was list bbcode, that'll be super helpful!

And yeah... I definitely have a tendency to get carried away when it comes to categorizing things, lol. I'll start brainstorming which roles I want to combine. Thanks for the input!

That's super cool! I once had a project to breed plum/robin/robin with starmap/bee and today a good chunk of dragons that are active with these colors/genes are kids from this project of mine - Dream and Mist being the parents haha back then it was so hard to find this combination, I'm happy to see so many people can have it easier now - so you should totally do it! I won't volunteer because I already have a linage project to manage and not much time, but I'll be cheering for you!

I stumbled upon this thread a few days ago, in which the thread creator is on a quest to find as many color combos as possible that have never had any dragons (as in, no current or exalted on the site). I feel like taking a look at that at some point in the future may help with determining/keeping track of rare color combos? While that thread is specifically about non-existent combos, the method used to find them would still work well for rare combos in general.

I've been considering making a spreadsheet sorta like theirs to track rare combos, rather than just non-existent ones, both for this thread and similar programs and such involving rare colors, but that would be a lot of work so I'm not going to make any promises yet.
