Powerfeeding Menagerie and Manufactory

At the moment it's only possible to add/use powerfeed on all slots together. Which means it'll cost 4 powerfeed at a time if one wants to speed up production.

It would be nice to have an option to add powerfeed to indiviual slots.

That way we'll be able to combine pens/workshops which have different runningtimes in a far more convenient and honest way as the runningtime is based on the longest running pen/workshop.

So, here's an example for the Manufactory:

If I put in 4 Sawmill, runningtime is 48hrs, add 4 PF .. overall runningtime is 24hrs
I'm 100% fine with that.

If I put in 2 Sawmill, runningtime 48hrs, and 2 Rodeo Ranches, runningtime 24hrs, it would be nice to be able to just add 2 PF to the Sawmill and NONE to the Rodeo Ranches to have an overall runningtime of 24 hrs.

Right now having to add 4 PF to such a combo feels like a rip off and thus limits the joy and possibllites of gameplay!

PS. I guess (do not know for sure) this also applies to adding Turbo Mulch and/or SSG for the Arbo thinggies. Someone fill me in! Thanks in advance!

 

This would be great!

 

Although I am not using any pf in the menagerie it sure is a great idea.

 

^^same with Meba

 

The idea isn't bad...I don't thought abbout this 'till I read this...thx

 

I've been occasionally using PF's in all three, and I'm not sure how it worked, but I think there may be a way to just PF less than all 4. Possibly by the # of clicks to the PF button. As I said, I'm not sure how it worked but it happened once or twice with a menagerie or a manufactory...I don't remember which.
I hope it wasn't just a fluke/glitch...

 

The only way it is possible to power feed only some of the stables is to remove the ones you don't want to power feed. Apply power feed, put the others back, then normal feed. Not very convenient, but an option if you really want to.

 

Will it work Mir? Don't we have to feed them all at the same time?

 

Yes, you feed them at the same time, but if there is only two stables there - you feed only those with power feed. There is no rule that the manufactory has to be full to work. And you can add more stables after the others have been started if there are free slots. I haven't tested it myself, but got the tip from someone else who has - I'm sure it'll work

 

The FAQs say that the time to harvest for the manufacturies is the time of the longest pen/workshop placed, and that it resets when you add more. In other words, you can do just one pen, but if you do more than one they will all mature at the same time? Is that not correct?

 

Test: Placed one neon rabbit + PF:



Added a neon chicken + normal feed. It looks like both have been restarted with normal feed:



But after refreshing, the game remembers that the rabbit had gotten PF. So yes it works

 

Superb! Thanks for the great hint!

 

Mir that's great, thank you for sharing

 

No problem
