New to this - Several Suggestions

I'm new to this, so I hope I don't break any rules! Here are several of my ideas...

In the Achievements area, it would be great to have a way to visualize which of the total achievements I have earned (I currently just made a spreadsheet). It would be nice to maybe have a page similar to beta.glitch.com/achievements/ when I go to my achievements page that would look similar to how my skills page has the ones I've done checked off. As a further feature to this, it would also be nice to know how far along I am on the progress of attaining the achievement, such as "Nice Dicer Minced, chopped and hacked ***10 of*** 41 recipes with a Knife & Board."

I also think that a chicken collector similar to meat and milk collectors would be nice.

Another request would be to be able to set a specific amount of an item to donate to shrine, feed to pig, etc. Instead of the "all, one or 3 other" amounts. I am at the point where i know how much i want to add sometimes to a shrine to get close to 1000 points and reduce learning time or how many carrots to feed a pig to get a seed packet (more than one but less than 10) to avoid having to donate or feed so many times to get a specific amount.

Final request would be animal pens/enclosures for my house... for example an area to keep 10-20 pigs or chickens. I'm an organization type of person, so it's really frustrating to pet or squeeze one type of animal without sorting through a bunch of others.

I have lots of others ideas similar to this about allowing for custom ordering of the animal pop-up menus... or temporarily disabling certain ones like renaming - if that's not important to me; or incubating an egg when i don't have any; or like when I quickly try to sqeeze a chicken several times, but a butterfly comes by and before I know it, I've sang to it 3 times and zapped my energy! I would just like the flexibility to disable actions that I'm not currently wanting to use.

Absolutely love the game! Totally addicted like everyone else and hope to help improve it! Would love to hear any responses back on these or similar things.

  • Some houses have animal pens.  If you want this feature, look for a home in Alakol.

    Instead of using a chicken collector, just plant grain seeds.  Much better results and no need to squeeze any chickens. 

    There are other threads asking for setting specific amounts and/or having "3" as a number.  Generally, if you are posting in a forum for Ideas, it's best to look through previous threads and add your voice to the ones already here. 

    It's also generally a good idea to start a separate thread for each idea, so that the developers can see quickly what the idea is.  That's also why you'll probably want to contribute to on-going threads.  Posting a bunch of ideas in one thread means that the devs are likely to forget what your thread is about, and perhaps miss your input when they are skimming the forum.

  • For your achievements, check out the user-created scripts that should suit your need (with the exception of x/y progress status), as well as a Locations script that will tell you what streets you have visited, and what resources are where - beta.glitch.com/forum/gener...

    Hopefully, these things will eventually make it on the official Glitch pages, but I'd rather see other cool new stuff first :)

    But I'd like to see the custom value for donating/feeding/crushing...soon.

  • Winborn, thanks for the tips... I'm really new to posting and didn't know where to start.

    JoeBlow, the scripts are SO helpful! Awesome tools. I've been using the Glitch Wiki page (http://www.glitch-strategy.com/wiki/Main_Page) so far to get my item/location information, but this is great!

    Thanks to both of you for helping me get started with this.

    Now, if only I could get email notifications when a reply was posted!!!
