Baby Tracker Guide

Expanded Batch View

To focus on your batches in a full‑screen layout, use the Expand Batch View button above the batches list in the Baby Tracker sidebar. This opens a wide, distraction‑free view with the following quick actions in its top header:

• Imprint Batch: quickly record an imprint on any tracked batch.
• Change Rates: open the rates window directly from the expanded view.

Rates, Presets, and Stack Sizes

The Change Rates window lets you choose a preset for official servers or set custom rates for an unofficial server. This window also lets you define stack sizes for common foods so that spoilage is calculated accurately in trough ETAs.

You can open this window from two places: the header of the expanded batch view, or the gear button at the top of the Baby Tracker sidebar.

Food Stat Buffer

Use the Food Stat Buffer button (near the gear button in the Baby Tracker sidebar) to assume additional Food gained as creatures mature. This refines per‑minute consumption and total food projections for edge cases and Food‑heavy creatures.

Server Down / Back Up Controls

At the top of the Baby Tracker sidebar you’ll find Server Down and Server Back Up controls. These are visible only in the normal sidebar view (not in expanded batch view). Use them to pause/resume live ticking so countdowns and catch‑up logic stay accurate while your server is offline.

Areas

Areas let you group batches and troughs by base, outpost, or breeding location. Each area has its own list of batches and troughs.

• Rename the current area from the Area header.
• Use the Areas menu to add, switch, or remove areas.
• Timers, totals, and trough ETAs are scoped to the currently selected area.

Core UI concepts

• Total Food Needed: lifetime food to reach adulthood per food type.
• Baby Food (Maewing): food needed to reach juvenile (10%).
• Trough Management: add troughs by type and food; start depletion timers.
• Trough Analysis: click the info button to the right of the ticking trough depletion time to see consumption phases, stage changes, and spoilage tails.
• Change Rates: apply presets or set custom multipliers and stack sizes.
