Hi Nick,

Sorry if I missed your notice. I see that Q & A is on Thurs this week rather than Wed. Is this a one time change or will it go back to Wed next week?

Question re: Release notes Miscellaneous (October 15th, 2021) ...

Could you please explain what you mean by the following ...
... "Hid the “Level 40 & 4 Level 20 Pet Treats” inventory item, which is a hidden purchase token"

I had forgotten to post this week's Q&A earlier this week, so delayed it to Thursday so people had time to post. Apologies!

Sometimes store purchases have a hidden inventory item associated with it that we use for tracking. You shouldn't be able to see these in your inventory, only admins can. The "Level 40 & 4 Level 20 Pet Treats" item was one such token that wasn't hidden. This note in the Release Notes is simply saying it is now hidden as it should be.

I'd like to see the introduction of a combi-whack.

It could sit alongside our other whack options and when used it would combine all 3.

First a quick whack, then a mana whack followed by a power whack of a random bush.

That's an interesting idea, Elsastar96! I'll note it down to consider.

Hi Nick, this is a suggestion about Asking for Energy packets.
The "Ask Friends" function has two options: "Name" and "Recently Played". We have to use the Recently PLayed list, because those are the people that play regularly.
There is a "Random "button that selects friends all at once, which would be excellent, but it is useless because it picks from all friends, even those who haven't played for months.
My suggestion is to make this button "Pick Recently PLayed" so that when you click that button, it automatically selects the friends who have last played, saving us the trouble of clicking and selecting one by one.
HOpe this is a feasible suggestion. It really wou be a major quality of life improvement. Thanks!

This would be a good improvement! It's certainly feasible. I'll note it down to consider for the next quality of life update.

Hi NIck, just had another idea for a quality of life improvement. A trashcan where you can recicle your sugarless drinks. I have ton of those and they just keep piling up in the inventory. JUst a place where I could dump them would be great. WIth an added fun factor like recycling ... and getting some stuff for them (gems, items... whatever random items you guys woud feel comfortable in exchanging) would be excellent. Thanks! :)

Not the first time I've heard this suggestion. I'll update the priority accordingly, and make note of your suggestions. Thanks!

Hi Nick! Please help me understand the new VIP power Quests and Whacks. What does it mean exactly "Whack quest spawns with Quick Whacks and Mana Whacks"? Also, when OFF is green does that mean the power is activated or not activated? Thanks!

Quest Spawns are what we unofficially call any critter or object that spawns in a field for a quest, often with the "!!!" icon above it, including Bandits, piles of dirt, dooty, eagles, etc.

Usually you have to click these yourself, as in, Quick Whacks and Mana Whacks don't whack these objects.

So this VIP power changes that, so you don't have to manually whack these quest spawns, and instead can gleefully mash the Quick Whack or Mana Whack buttons without interruption, or worrying about missing these quest spawns.

It the OFF button is green, you can click that to turn it off, meaning it's ON.

A Quality of Life request?

Could we possibly have a default setting for Mount state (Mounted/dismounted)?
I like having the bonuses of my mount, but depending on the mount the animation can become annoying. I use the Silver Surfboard the most. The "floating" animation gets rather another annoying after a period of time, so I dismount the board while playing.

Do you mean for the game to remember if you're dismounted or mounted on each particular mount? Or just it remembers if you're dismounted when you load the game and change mounts?

Hi Nick,

I think the new Quester's Boon for Quest Whacks is awesome! I was wondering if you could add the Call a Friend whacks to that as well. It certainly would be handy!

Revisiting an old item: I am still getting duplicate requests for energy packs and obstacle removal from various folks. This is not a problem for me since I can use the Accept All button, but it seems a shame for the requesters if they are wasting valuable requests.

Another past item revisited: Any word on the idea of adding a Completed Crops toggle button to the Plant Splicer 3000?

Thanks again for all that you and Georgia do and for allowing us to add our 2 cents. :-)

Having Friend Whacks benefit from the Quest Whacks VIP Power is a good idea! I'll note it down.

Thanks for the reminder about the duplicate requests bug. I'm a bit at a loss for where to start next on debugging it, so it's on the back burner for now. I'll look again at it when I have some time to poke around.

That's still on my suggestions list to consider, but it will likely have to wait till the next big Quality of Life update.
