Suggestions and Questions from an Unreasonable Breeder
I got scolded for posting too much in the comments, so I'm finally opening up a discussion.

I used this mod for a considerable amount of time (about 11 hours) with few complaints, but then Something broke. I'm not sure what got bugged. The hatching place isn't collecting eggs from the breeding places, and when it does, they hatch into nothing, and the butcher place does the same thing. This resulted in a lot of overbreeding and when I'm breeding upwards of two dozen or more separate lines at the same time, it got out of control quickly.

Additionally, something is completely tanking my framerate; this also didn't happen before the "break" in the mod. I thought it may be because the eggs are hatching faster than they can get vaccuumed up, but I can't figure out how to set the time for checks faster than the default 25sec. I set it as "5" for every five seconds, but I'm unsure if the "sec" is needed or not, or if it's a decimal, or however it's supposed to be input. I have my settings jacked up high so that the breeding processes can be faster.

Outside of those issues I'm having, the scope of this mod is everything I wanted for easily managing separate breeding project at the same time. The only real thing that I can think of that would be a great addition is a sterile egg collector with a larger range than the structures currently have. A poop collector would be nice too, but I understand that's outside of the scope of this mod (I mostly would want one to clean up after my dinos because my computer has poor performance and the less junk on the ground, the more frames I get.) Possibly, a generic pet food kibble that can be made with any egg (and just the egg) as well, in order to easily feed all the breeding dinos easily and make use of all those sterile eggs. Good for feeding dinos out of a trough, not so good for taming, for balance.

I found the reason for the frame drops. I had hundreds and hundreds of corpses underneath my map floating in the void. I had to pick up all my tames and use "destroyallenemies" to clear them out, and now my frames are fine. It still nuked my mount but I got him back with the soul terminal lol.

I think an .ini toggle for this interface would be useful, because i don't use it since dino stoarge shows me that information, and also it gets stuck on my screen in front of everything and it layers for every egg i look at. not sure if anyone else is having that issue.

I also noticed that gestation eggs xdon't particularly like to be sucked up by dino storage's auto newborn capture function, though i'm unsure why that is. additionally, mothers that have the gestation egg buff can't seem to be reverted back. Perhaps make that buff temporary, so that when outside of the breeding place (and the butcher's place) these buffs can then wear off?

Also, i loved the solar powered machines right up until i moved my operation to a place with an overhead roof for better convenience and i find myself needing to know if there are alternate ways to power these machines, such as with electricity.

I'm sorry if i'm getting annoying or something, i just love the scope of this mod so much and want to see it be the best it can be.
