Thank you. This really made it clear. I do appreciate the in-depth answer here. It's helped a lot!
I'm sorry, but I have one more question/ problem. (If this gets annoying, let me know. I usually try looking through the forums a bit and googling before asking.)
I see that eggs cannot be put into storage, and I read the reason about freezing eggs on here being silly, and bad for the economy. So I'm clear on that, and I happen to agree. The problem I'm having has to do with the egg market, which is awesome, by the way. I'm thinking I may be out of luck, but I figured I could ask anyways.
I have chosen to "specialize" in mutant Creatu in my rancher shop, so I am trying to hold on to several eggs until they spoil to increase my chances of hatching them into mutants. I am also currently getting most of my income from the egg market, as I am not established enough to have a wide range of mutants in my shop yet.
The trouble comes in when I go to sell a batch of eggs on the market. It seems to select the older eggs first, and leave me with the most recent ones. I even tried incubating all of the older ones to see if that would keep them from being sent to the market, but it has not worked. What I'm getting at is, is there any where I can send the eggs (like a storage unit of some kind) where thay will still age, so I can continue using the market without this happening; or even a setting I'm missing?
I thought of making a second account solely for the purpose of sending eggs off to for 15 days, and then sending them back over to my "main" account. I wouldn't use it to have extra hatches, or to find more eggs, or anything like that. But still, I know having two accounts is prohibited to keep people from doing harm to the economy. I would never exploit it that way, but I didn't want to do anything that could risk getting my account frozen, as I am really enjoying this game and its community.
Am I, as I said, out of luck, or is there something I can do about this that I haven't thought of?
Thank you a bunch for all of your help. I really do appreciate you taking the time to answer all of these strange questions of mine.
