Breeding

In Flowerpatch, it is possible for players to create their own FLOWER strains. This is done by breeding two FLOWER together to produce an offspring FLOWER.

Breeding is done in the game world; you'll need:


 * One fully grown FLOWER planted in the game world adjacent to another fully grown FLOWER (you need to own at least one of the FLOWERs you're attempting to breed with)
 * Some ETH in your MetaMask or HB Wallet app wallet to cover the breeding fee + gas fee.

Some Important Notes


 * Breeding has a low cost, no cooldown timer, and is almost instant.
 * Breeding and token minting/sending TXs are processed on the Ethereum network; processing time and gas fee may vary.
 * Breeding does not consume or degrade the parent FLOWERs in any way.
 * When you breed FLOWERs, the majority of offspring will most likely be common.
 * If you're looking to get cards with specific stats (such as rarity) without taking any risk, it is recommended you buy from the official market or other users via OpenSea.

Offspring Naming

Offspring are named by combining the name of parent 1 (first chosen to breed) and parent 2 (second chosen to breed)


 * First word from parent 1
 * Everything except the first word from parent 2
 * Exception: if parent 2 is only one word, it will use that word.

Offspring Stats


 * Offspring stats are determined by weighted random rolls, which are influenced by both parents.
 * Rarity and mutability also depend on weighted random rolls, but are treated differently.
 * Offspring Mutability will be a random number between the Mutability of parent 1 and parent 2, and parent Mutability adds up to +19 to the Rarity roll
 * This article explains breeding and even goes over the weighted random algorithm: Breeding Algorithm Details

Breed Fee Sharing


 * If someone breeds with your FLOWER, you will get a percentage of the breeding fee they pay.
 * The fee shared as of Flowerpatch v1.2a (alpha) is 25%; check the breeding page to see the exact fee shared as it may vary over time & with future updates.
