Players come and collect materials Snuffles drop and while doing
that they help to add to your sim traffic
Preparing for your New Snuffle
Before you can bring a new Snuffle home you must prepare your land for them.
There are only a few things to do but they are important steps.
1. Buy a tree or stump ( sometimes referred to as a nest).
You can find them at our Marketplace store here
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/77098
2. Stock up on seeds.
You can get these from market place or in-world.
If you buy them from Marketplace you will need to rez the box on the ground and click
the seeds will then go to your tree. If you buy them from the in-world seed exchange the
seeds will go to your tree on their own.
Be sure to get your tree first and rez it!
3. You will need a small supply of crystals. You can get these at our Marketplace store.

4. Make sure you have enough prim allowance to cover the amount of Snuffles you intend to have.
They have a land impact of 15 each due to the ability to rez materials.
5. Finally, be aware that your Snuffles will show on our Snuffles materials collections resource list.
If you do not want them to, please contact staff to have your tree set as private.
Buying a New Snuffle
The current system for buying Snuffles means they must be bought through your Snuffle
tree/stump. To do this, you will need to have Lindens in your Goldtokens account. When
you have enough to cover the Snuffle cost, go to
http://www.snufflesbreedables.net/
and log in. You can search the Snuffles breeders profile pages for listed Snuffles and
copy the ID number for the desired Snuffle.
Make sure you have enough prim allowance on your land to allow for each Snuffle you
are buying. You will also need to have a supply of crystals.
These can be found here.
Also be sure to set your tree to primary through its menu.
When you are ready with the ID number, bring up the menu on your tree and choose
the buy Snuffle option. Type in the ID number and send. Your new Snuffle
will arrive in the vicinity of the tree shortly.
Please note that while a Snuffle can be marked for sale in-world, you cannot buy it
directly from the seller in-world. You must go through the tree menu as described above.
Avoiding Lost Snuffles
Snuffle movement is controlled through path-finding technology. When path-finding
is enabled they will move freely around according to the limits you set through each
Snuffle. The menu gives you the option to set their home space , to freeze them
in one spot, and range - which lets you set the distance for how far they can roam
around. The menu also has a button named path-finding. Clicking this option disables
or enables your path-finding settings.
It is suggested that Snuffles not be kept on a platform unless they have been frozen or
path-finding has been disabled. The reason for this is that they sometimes escape the
confines of a set roam range and are most likely to wander over the edge of the platform
and become lost. Recall doesn't always bring them back, especially if they have fallen
outside of the range of the stump or tree. Sometimes a new burrow arriving at your stump
may rez below the level of the platform and could also become lost anywhere between
your platform and the ground below. And finally, the Snuffles produce materials that rez in
the general area of where they are.Sometimes that area is off the edges of the platform and
can be hard to retrieve in the limited time available.
If a Snuffle - either burrowed or alive - becomes lost and recall doesn't find it, be sure to search
inventory in case it has been sent back to you and also use area search. Another method to
search is to look at your mini map. Your items will be displayed there as a blue spot.
Camming below the level of your platform will help in spotting any areas of blue that may
be your Snuffle.
. In worst case scenarios where you simply cannot find the lost Snuffle contact a
staff member for further assistance.
Save Seeds - Prevent Starvation
While the cost of seeds for your Snuffle is cheap, it makes no sense to feed them
when there is a way to save those seeds. Re-burrowing a Snuffle would work but it takes
time - especially if you have a lot of them rezzed. It can also be expensive in the cost of crystals.
A simple trick to avoid those costs and be quick at it is to pick them up alive. If you click each one
and hold ctrl+edit as you select them you can then pick up all at one time and rez all when ready
again to rez them by dragging the one box back out again. Storing your Snuffles alive wont hurt
them, wont reset them back to zero days old, wont interfere with any that are ready to mate,
and most importantly, they don't eat in there.
You can pick them up when you are planning to log out for awhile or simply only rez them when
you're ready to collect materials.
This trick is important for another reason though. SL can be glitchy - servers go down. Snuffles
technology is split between in-world and on our server. If our server goes down, the snuffles in-world
code tells them to keep eating. The seed resources on your account are kept on the server. This would
cause your Snuffles to starve - even though your account has plenty of seeds. Picking them up when
you become aware of a down server will save frustration, costs of seeds, and headaches.
Speed-Dating with Snuffles
In order for your Snuffles to breed you will need 2 Snuffles that are compatible for breeding. You can
use the Snuffles profile on the website to check if they are compatible. They won't be able to breed until
they are 100 days old each. If left at 1x they will take approximately 5 days to reach breeding age of 100
You can speed this process up by running the Snuffles at 5x. This will cause them to be ready in 24 hours.
Using a multiplier higher than 5x is pointless as it wont speed up the aging process any more than the
24 hours.You will know your Snuffles are ready to breed when a blue or pink heart comes from them.
Burrowing a Snuffles when the heart is emitting will set it back to zero age and it will have to age to 100 all
over again. Picking up a Snuffle at breed-able age live to put in inventory will pause the aging and not harm
the breeding ability. You can rez them later and they will be ready still.
Worth their Weight in Gold
For every Snuffle you have rezzed for a full 24 hour period, you will receive 25 Golds (a crafting resource material) per day.
Snuffles "poo" out these materials every 72 minutes when set to a 1x. You can speed up the time between productions by
increasing the multiplier. Be aware that this will increase the amount of seeds eaten by the same amount as the multiplier
you choose.
The materials produced can be used to craft with, or sold in the materials exchange at our HeadQuarters.
Materials
Snuffles produce Materials (Mats) that are used in crafting potions and powders
By collecting these Mats, you can greatly reduce the cost of crafting. You don't have
to own Snuffles to collect the Mats, as any Snuffles listed on the resource collection
list are free to collect from at any time. The list is here
http://www.snufflesbreedables.net/tools/resources.php
There are also Snuffles at our HeadQuarters near one of our Fish Hunt buoys
where you can fish and collect at the same time. Mats will rez in the area of the
Snuffles and their nest and will remain visible for 60 seconds. Collect them by
clicking them when you are within XXm of them.
You can see how much of a specific Mat you have by logging in to our website
and visiting your resources tab.
The following table will help you decide which Mats are best suited for your needs.
