About the Bubbie
----------------------------------------------------------
To hatch your eggs, simply place them on the ground within range of a Bubbie home planet, then click the egg cup and select "unpackage". Once the egg is unpackaged, click the egg and select "Hatch" this will rez your Bubbie, and you can now sit back and watch it .
You should also have some food out, although he won't be hungry until 4 hours after he is born.
About the Bubbie home planet
----------------------------------------------------------
The Home object is what Bubbies use to judge how far they are allowed to roam from. To configure the distance, change the description of the home planet . The home planet is modifiable, but it is not recommended to change it's size greater than 1-2 meters in height (Bubbies can't fly.)
Clicking the Home planet will update all Bubbies in range with a new home position. You need to click the Home planet everytime you hatch an egg or unbox a Bubbie.
The home planet covers a square area of land, allowing for traditional cages, the distance is calculated by using a maximum y and maximum x coordinate, this means that when a Bubbie is in the corner of its roam distance, it will be further than the allowed distance from the home planet.
An easy way to determine what your home distance should be, is to rez a large square covering the area you want, then divide the width by 2. So a 10x10 meter pen would require a distance of 5 in the home object. The home object should be placed in the center (on the ground).
-------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT :
Bubbies reach maturity at age 7, when they will start mating and producing eggs. In order to breed new Bubbies, you will require an adult male and an adult female, males will be ready to mate every 3 hours, and once a female is pregnant she will be ready to lay her egg after 2 days.
Live Bubbies and eggs must never be taken into your inventory. Doing so will break them, so in order to take them into your inventory, you should use Bubbie box for bubbies and Egg Cups for eggs. These products are available free at the main store.
Bubbies will sometime loose monney on the ground .
Don't delete them. You can keep them in directly in your inventory. They will be usefull for the futurs features coming very soon ^^ They will be able to feed scrabs :)

Okay, so what's a Bubbie?
Well, that's a Bubbie! A round little creature, I'm presuming from another planet as I have yet to see one on Earth. :p They are a walking bubble, with ears and eyes and make an odd noise; kind of like you're running your thumb across a balloon crossed with a whale. While it's not the most relaxing noise, it's not the loudest (or worst).
The Bubbies are RBG based breedables, meaning the only choices you get are based on the color wheel. Red, green, blue, yellow, orange and so on. There can be glow and shine but other than the coloring of the prims, there is no texturing. Other than the eyes and... erm.... beak (?) ... the rest of the Bubbie will mix and match colors based on parentage. You do not bond Bubbies, they breed on their own and the "eggs" you get from them do not show the parents.
This breedable needs a "home" object. The drawback to this is that any time you want to add a Bubbie to your breeders you need to use the menu to make them sleep, edit them (do NOT pick up without packing), and drag them close to the home object. Once your new Bubbie is out, you touch the home object to activate it. Therefore, if you don't move your original Bubbies back near the home object, the spot they are at when the home object is touched becomes their home and they may end up being out of range of their food.
The Bubbies and their eggs need to be packed in the appropriate boxes before you can pick them up. To just take them without packaging will break them.
Pricing:
4 small bubble gum food pack L$ 100 (42 servings each)
4 medium bubble gum food pack L$ 200 (84 servings each)
Bubbie Starter Pack (medium) L$ 300 (4 eggs and 2 small bubble gum food)
Bubbie Starter Pack (full) L$ 500 (9 eggs and 2 medium bubble gum food)
You can also pick up an affiliate vendor, that you can use to purchase supplies from AND make 10% of sales. This is helpful if you're someone like me who has a lot of breedables and really doesn't like TP'ing all over the grid to get food or egg cups or crates here and there.
luc Walmer, the creator, also has all his breedables in the same vendor so you can easily start with one and expand to his others without having to hunt them down again.
What I really like about luc's products is that they are interactive in that you can use the "seeds" from one to feed another kind as you can see from the last line in the above instructions. Clever in that it makes you want to use all his breedables so you can get the full fun of breeding them.
The menu is very straightforward; Sound, Sleep, HUD, Nothing, Name, Package.
Sound toggles it on or off.
Sleep wakes them up after you set their home position, a must if you don't want them to starve. It puts them to sleep so you can drag them closer to the home object if you are adding a Bubbie to your brood. They do move around and the distance is based on the number you set in the description line of the home object before touching it.
HUD Well this is just downright smart. I can wear the HUD to get egg and live crates! No, it's not like the turtle HUDs, this is just for accessories you need to package your Bubbies.
Nothing closes the menu.
Name allows you to name your Bubbie via open chat. You need to type name, WHATEVER YOU WANT, for example name, Bobby Bubbie. Retouching the Bubbie will show the name change in hover text.
Package allows you to package your Bubbie or egg into a crate so you can pick it up and sell it or give it away or move it to another location.
To see Bubbies you can go to luc's location: Bubbie World Shop
or at my Neverland Breedables Ranch
I give this breedable 3 out of 5 stars as it's RBG based, doesn't allow for bonding (I'd have to completely separate a male and a female from the rest) and it doesn't show who the parents of the egg are. The upside is the HUD and the interaction with luc's other breedables.
