Hi, I've noticed that one of the main things missing in Pokeheroes is a system to collect eggs from different users.
Many of us have the shelter of Pokefarm in mind, but I would like to propose something a little different.
How about a conveyor belt where unwanted daycare eggs are dropped and that is in constant movement? I think it's a pretty idea that can be fun for several reasons:
a) As it's in motion, we can only get the 3 eggs closer to us, and we must be quick or these disappear into the machine
b) Only those eggs that are in the nearest part are able to distinguish what type they are. The rest would be like a shadow
c) Other users can take your eggs if they are faster than you (perhaps with a mechanical arm, or a hatch or something, I will leave that to the artists :D )

I know that all this is just a general idea, and that would be necessary sprites for all eggs (but I supose that a wild field, a Shellter or similars also would need them)
Also should be needed in daycare an option to release eggs (all of them or just the ones you picked)

Here it is a quick drawing so that you see a small idea of ??the madness that went through my head :P



My english is a little bit rusty, so please forgive my mistakes and sorry if I said something weird

That would actually be awesome. I WOULD SPAM CUDDLITHE EGGS FOR EVERYONE!!!

And maybe the eggs that go into the machine could go to Prof. Rowan instead of something that reminds me of The Rainbow Factory+. *shudders*

Hm, I don't know. Wouldn't this make getting rare and special eggs a little too easy (even more easier than it already is)? Neutral, for now.

Full support.

In the last post (I'm too lazy to quote :P) Maybe the Hard and Rare eggs could be sorted and go to the machine less often, or the eggs that are sorted have the same chance of getting picked as the lab?

@Diana, the idea is that the eggs in the factory are eggs released from other users daycares... if they are easy to breed then they will be easy to get, if they are hard to breed then they will be hard to get too
Take a look on events... One friend is trying to breed satichus, and She gets 1 or 2 per day when She has a lot of luck (most of them are pichus). I suppose the ammount will be similar with this system

I like this idea, though I can understand Diana. I am breeding Larvitar, they are Rare rarity (lol), and I get about 5-7 every day. Maybe this factory could have a system that randomly picks a rarity every few hours, and only eggs of this rarity are available (of course only 3 at a time). And the chance to for "Event" rarity would be pretty low.

I support ^^, like you said, the rarity of the pokemon decides if it's hard to get it

This should have some sort of limit, like 2-4 eggs per day or something. Otherwise you could get rare eggs easily, and the Lab would become useless, aside from Legend eggs and Ditto. Maybe a sort of pass system, like you get 1 "conveyor belt" pass per day, and you can save them? Other then that, full support.

The point is that ONLY eggs released goes to the machine... if you are trying to breed them for hunting (or to sold them in the Auction house) you are not going to release them ^^.
Just those you don't want, or those you can't get from your daycare when reset start are going to be there

Also I agree with Mirej and Chimecho posts.

Maybe 6 eggs per day is a good number
and then up to 20 (or something) with a "Pass"

sounds like an awesome, unusual idea and i also like your painting. for me there is only one question, do "unwanted" daycare eggs exist? Usually you are breeding them, cause you want them or did i get this wrong?

If you are shiny hunting, you won't give those eggs away i guess, unless you know it's not a shiny...

i'am a bit afraid the value of event pokemon will fall, if people "spam" with them. Of course it's a great favor for others and makes the game more interesting.

I'am a supporter, as long as there is still a challenge and ppl don't go like:"i don't need to spend effort on that event or breeding this pokemon, since i will get tons of that pokemon at the magical belt"

unwanted daycare eggs do exist if you're breeding two different types of pokes, but only for the eggs from one of them (like the cuddlithe and growlithe in my daycare lol)

and not only the event counterparts are unwanted eggs, there are also pokemon with just one gender that need another kind of poke to breed (think on volbeat/illumise for example)
Another thing that makes rare pokemon hard to get is that once many users start releasing their eggs you are going to need searching between a great bunch of eggs.
And as the site grows more eggs mixed in the factory ^^

The main problem I see (and notice that I'm going to be picky with my own idea) is that without egg sprites it can't be developed.

What if Event Pokémon don't go to the belt?
This make the event pokémon difficult to find and shiny hunt and therefore their price increases a lot making they more special.

You can only breed it at daycare.

I do get unwanted eggs; my Arcaddly tend to get too many eggs for my party. I always make sure to get the Cuddlithe, but there's at least 3 extra Growlithe eggs per day that go to the Lab.

Same here with my Larvitar. Sometimes before reset, I forget to fill up my party with eggs, so they go to the lab.

Yeah, that's why I try to have an empty party by reset, so I can go to the lab and get rare eggs! It'd be nice if they went to a separate place, one reason to support this suggestion.

I'm really liking all of these ideas! And your sketch was very helpful, btw loketoke (and nicely drawn, i might add)! Supports~
