Any scientists studying spitting?

Has anyone picked up any pattern to the Sloth spitting, per st/per game day/ per sloth? Anything?

  • All I've discovered is that the sloths are entirely too polite.

  • Pretty sure I only get one sloth per st. But that's about it.  Jumping wasn't any better than walking or standing.

  • Despite having sidled slowly past many sloths whispering outrageous things about their mothers in the days since I found out about the badge, I've yet to have a single one spit at me.

  • Had two sloths spit at me. I haven't really been in sloth-area much, though. Maybe five or six trips since the spitting was released.

  • what I have noticed is that usually is the last sloth I have feed in a street and spit more than once per day/game

  • is there a card related to this too? or did I imagine it. When I get around the sloths I get spat at around once per street, 2 or 3 snails.

  • @jiva: yep, there's an upgrade card for that, I have it and it's called "Friend of Metal: By purchasing this upgrade, you confirm your allegiance to Metal. In appreciation (or perhaps disgust), Sloths will occasionally spit Snails down at you when you walk past their trees."...

    So far, I seem to get spit at around 3 times per trip through sloth lands at 2 snails/spit...don't know if there's a card that boosts the amount of snails spit, or the numbers of times being spat at...if so, I've yet to come across it!

  • Here's what does the trick for me every time:

    Feed the slot until it goes back into his tree (sometimes it works after feeding less than full, after about 5 feedings)

    Keep moving under the tree, standing still did not seem to trigger it for me.
    The sloth will stick his head out and look around.
    If it is the sloth that spits he will usually do so the 2nd time he sticks his head out so just keep moving under that tree.

    This worked for me every single time once I found which sloth will spit at me on a street. (Don't have the badge yet though as I ran out of metal rods plus it's pretty boring)

    I tried the same thing but without feeding while walking through other sloth streets, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Worth he try though.

    Good luck!

  • Do they give snails when they spit? Doesn't really show on the log and no sound on at the moment.

  • We have a crack team of slothologists at the IX University of Arcane Wierdness working on it as  I speak

  • Here's what I learned:

    Opening the game under a sloth seems to work fairly often, only one sloth spit per st, only got one spit per 10 mins, sloths often spit after you're done feeding them - not sure if happened if already spit at on that st, tp to under sloths, walk back and forth under them a few times.

  • I have gotten spits with about 6 minutes apart and more than once on the same street also.

  • @ Raktivist: yes they give up to 3 (for me at least) snails per spit
