Support!

I have wolves that just keep popping into heat and I can't breed them as I don't want inbred wolves and they're reated to my stud. Also have a wolf that has been bred every heat and yet has no living offspring as she has never given anything worth keeping. But she is my herbalist so she's not going anywhere.

I would love to be able to make some of my wolves infertile like that to get those options out of the way

Heck, maybe there could be a boost to stats or something that would make it seem worthwhile for other people to consider. Idk.

Support as a toggle. I also suggest that when a wolf changes packs, the toggle turns the heats back on, because I can easily see someone purchasing a wolf, not realizing that heats are toggled off and missing the females heats because the symbol is hidden. I absolutely would do that, which would be upsetting since I mostly buy wolves with intent to breed them at a later date.

The alternate option is to let players set a toggle default for new wolves that join the pack, so that either heats are default turned on or off when first joining the pack. Of course, you would be able to change the toggle for each wolf after it joined the pack, this would just be what the toggle is set to when its first befriended/bought/born etc

No support. You can just choose to not breed your wolf when she's in heat. In addition, I don't think being "togglable" nor "reversible" is a good idea due to spaying being a legitimately permanent thing. I'd advocate for infertile wolves like on LD, but if you don't want to breed a wolf just don't.

Support.  It doesn't sound like an item I'd be likely to use, but others have expressed that they have a use for it and it wouldn't harm anyone by such a feature existing.

i support this idea, plus it could be a black apple or something (the spaying item) or your herbalist could craft if it has a certain level and/or proficientcy (the spay cure item)
i agree with Decay but it might cost a lot of SC

No support, sorry. It's pointless, just don't breed the wolf, be careful when you're choosing who to breed and just deny heat requests, like adding to footnotes or bios that they're not available. I feel forcing infertility instead of just the simple solution of ignoring the heat might make scams or other incidents happen. If you do breed the wrong wolf just don't nest them, chase the pups. Spaying is literally removing part of the reproductive system, so it makes no sense to be reversible/a toggle.

Support I have wolves that i dont plan to breed but are pretty, and this would make it easier plus it wouldnt be spaying its more like stoping a heat or birth control

Support with @Sunspot Forest-On hiatus #35648's suggestions.

- Option called "Toggle Heat" on female wolves' pages
- When toggled off, the heat symbol doesn't show and the wolf can't be bred
- Toggle automatically turned on when the wolf is born or given to another player


While I don't think this should be a high priority issue, this option would give players more freedom without cost. It will be a nice benefit for players who do use it, and it won't affect players who don't.

Calling it "Toggle Heat" instead also clarifies that it is only a cosmetic change and not a gameplay one.

The replies to the "don't breed the wolf" comments being "but I don't pay attention to what I'm breeding!" Is very funny to me. Just be more careful. I don't want devs to waste their time on this, personally. Not when they could be working on something better.

EDIT: I think introducing a cotton root bark equivalent would be a better solution, also. Terminates the pregnancy without sterilizing the wolf, doesn't cause the abundance of other problems that sterilization would.
