Heats up my phone battery after 15 minutes of gameplay. Building cap is 200, a big problem for me because it considered small plants and pathways buildings. Maybe they could allow you to have more buildings if you run the game at lower quality settings, or just make pathways and small objects be the same as 1/4 of a building? Time doesn’t pass in the game unless the app is open. This is just a pain, they should really fix this. The breeds of chickens based in reality are inaccurate. There is a buff Orpington that isn’t orange, and an Orpington that is orange. Buff is the color. There are lavender Orpingtons out there. Also there is a chicken called “bantam” however the size is not smaller than others. Batam is a size, not a coloration or breed. I really recommend the game developers open up the current American Poultry Association standard of perfection. They have “polk a dot” and “bumblebee” chickens which are ok but stuff like “sludge” and “grape soda” are pretty dumb when you don’t even have a polish or Cochin frizzle one the game. Overall I really enjoy this game. I won’t be able to play anymore until the building cap is fixed though. Edit: they have now added these chicken facts as part of the game. I’ve had chickens for a long time and so far most of these facts are not accurate at all. Like saying chickens like perching at different heights depending on the type of day… no, they don’t really perch during the day, usually just at night to sleep. Another I saw was that chicks learn to speak from their mom while they are still in the egg - this one is taken out of context. Chickens naturally know chicken language, they don’t learn it. But they do peep while in the egg once they begin to hatch. I am also seeing these feel good “facts” about chickens feeling pain and emotions just like humans. All though true they experience pain and emotions, it is definitely very different than us. For example, this game says chickens grieve after their fellow chickens die. But I have literally seen chickens peck each other to death, eat the corpse of their “friend”, and use the rotting corpse of another hen for warmth.
Overall it makes me think that the game creators are very naive and don’t know anything about chickens. That’s fine, they can run their game however they want, but as a consumer it personally bothers me. I wish they put more effort into learning about chickens instead of trying to convince people not to eat them (this is an assumption, that’s just how it comes off).
