Hello team!
We all know how hard it is to catch the special animals that spawn in specific weather + specific time on Island Sanctuary.
Today when I finally managed to find one of these (example in case Goobbbue), and caught him, I came across a problem. All my pasture is under mammet care, and full. Because of being under care, I'm unable to release an animal to make space for the new caught animal! I'm not even allowed to put the animal catching on hold to go to the pasture and release them myself, I'm stuck on the menu. :confused:
Because of this, the only option I have is to release the Goobbue I just caught and will have to wait god knows how many days for me to be lucky again and have the specific weather and time...
I am not sure if this post should be under Technical Support, Bug or Feedback, but I honestly think this needs to be addressed and changed.
Players should have the option to be able to release an animal even if they're under care of still have leavings to retrieve. It's incredibly difficult to find these specific animals because of the weather + time combo, I can't tell you how frustrated and sad I am with this happening. :(
I hope this can be changed in future patches in order to have a better player experience on Island Sanctuary.

You just have to temporarily stop having the mammets caring for the animals you've already caught. Make room for the one(s) you want and then restart the care.

10-08-2022, 11:05 AMJojoyaYou don't need to stop care for all the animals. Just stop it for the one you plan to release when the new one is captured. I've got the caretakers operating for 18 out of 20 on one of my alts, with the last 2 being the ones I plan to release when I capture the 2 rares I want. I don't need to worry about them being fed since I'm going to release them and I can collect their leavings (if any) before I go to the rare spawn point.Quote:
