Renaming, Notifications, & Pets

[Onidotmoe]

The ability to rename anything, even buildings and an option for those names to show up like duplicant names underneath them.

Option to turn notifications off per building.

Allowing duplicants to keep critters as pets, giving them a moral bonus for having the critter around and bonding with them, maybe the pet could follow the duplicant around or help them with tasks.

I like the pets idea, especially if we had buildings for them like Shinebug houses, and Doghouses

I also like the renaming of buildings and it displaying, could be really cool, especially for an aesthetic look, so I can rename electric grill, to Mi-Ma’s grill.

I can’t tell what you mean by notifications, as in the little pop ups below it?  If you mean that, then I agree.  But if you mean the things on the side, like entombed building, then no, as those really only pop up when something is wrong.

On the topic of pets and critters, giving them toys like maybe a beach ball to play with to increase happiness would be fun.

I wish the happiness system for critters was deeper. The happiness level could corespond to metabolism so that they could be somewhere between 20-100% depending on happiness even if not groomed. Like maybe decorative plants would affect happiness which would be consistent with the description of briar bluff. Hatches could enjoy having ground to burrow, shinebugs would want other light sources etc.
