With the inclusion of more genes, I feel like getting something like this out of the way early might be nice. I didn't see a thread just for this, but that doesn't mean there isn't one out there.

So, I like how we can search for wolves by color range and by individual patterns. It's very nice, and very helpful, but mostly for trying to find something specific. You want a kit with merle under and a black range of colors? You can do that perfectly fine. It's not so good at the inverse: seeing all but certain patterns.

I hate stripes. Nothing wrong with stripes, but I just don't like wolves that have it. It's a personal preference. What I'd like is either:

A) the ability to cut out certain parameters (ex. search for all wolves except ones that have stripes) or

B) the ability to add certain parameters (ex. search for all wolves with merle, timber, brush, cozen, and maned) and only search for wolves that apply to those limitations.

Before this was much less of an issue, because stripes are visibly, well, stripes. You can tell from looking at the tiny thumbnail if a wolf has stripes. What you can't tell, though, is plain. I almost purchased a wolf I thought was a double before realizing no, it's not a double, it's got two plain genes on.

I feel like the easier way to add this would be similar to how FR does it. You want undertides and veilspuns only? You go to their auction house, and on their list of breed choices, you can either pick one breed or keep selecting breeds until you have all the ones you want to search through.

I'm sorry I'm really bad at explaining this, I hope this makes sense.

TDLR; I want to be able to avoid certain genes on the FM

Support. Lemme exclude things.

I don't want plain. At all. It's like how I don't want basic terts on FR unless I'm specifically looking for G1s (since they come with that). Before plain, I could usually tell if I want something for a breeding project or character since I'd at least be able to tell the general colours by the thumbnail. With plain, I now will have to check every wolf that looks possible to make sure it doesn't have a weird colour in the plain gene. I'd like to just exclude it (and also I'd really love to just exclude vols for their breeding cooldown; I typically don't want them for projects because of it).

yes please! I already noticed it when searching for wild wolves, there are no so many wolves that look good, but have some hidden colours by using the plain gene. I want to be able to exclude wolves with plain from my search, just so that I am not blindsided by a hideous hidden colour after I already bought the wolf.

Whether I get the option to 'exclude' plain, or the option to include genes (and thus achieve the same result by including every gene except plain) doesn't matter to me. As long as I can get that end result.
