Eggified Sheep don't keep their colour

  1. Probably been mentioned in the huge Update post, but here's a proper post for it:

    When you stick sheep that have been dyed, they don't keep that colour when you spawn them.

    Is this intentional or a bug?

    Cheers!

  3. Correct, this is not a bug, but it is a bad user experience I agree. The eggs are part of MC, and I am just using what they provide. Sadly I can't attach extra data to them to maintain color.

  5. I think that's fine, else it would just make dyes even more obsolete than they already are.

  6. True. I wonder what the price will drop to on sheep, seeing as all you need to keep 'em going is wheat.

    1 Sheep for 1r!

  8. It's more than do-able. I've got a sheep farm, I've got a wheat farm. A few hundred sheep in about an hour of breeding.

  10. The problem is storage. Eggs are not stackable, so it will not be as easy as melon or pumpkin harvesting. Therefor I doubt the prices will go too low. Also, animals are very popular for new players, so as long the Empire gets immigrants there will be a demand for eggs.
