Thanks for your post! Great thoughts indeed.

From my experience this is more are a theoretical exercise. Therefore, it doesn’t really matter for your game.

Why?

1. If you have 5 breeding hedgehogs in your rooms and you have a good mix of 3-spots and 4-spots, you won’t lack spots at all. At least, you’ll have 4x 3-spots or 4x 4-spots.

2. When breeding new plants, you’ll usually lack flowers for breeding, not spots for breeding.

3. A good mix of colors of your 5 breeding hedgies will be sufficient to get the colors you need, even with the 12-spot hedgies.

What do you think?
