Feeding Piggies: Food Quantities

It took me a while to realize that if I feed piggies 3 growable food items that I could recoup seeds from their, erm, plops.

Unfortunately, trying to select just 3 of a type of produce to feed them is very difficult if you have a large stack in your inventory.  For "growable" types of food, I think a quantity of three should _always_ be a option, rather than its current default to 10, 20, 30, and so on when you have a large stack.

  • I'd like better number selection options for everything that gets that All/Just one/Whatevs  dialogue, can be very frustrating, e.g. when crushing ore.

  • I agree with shhexycorin, I would like better control over quantities, especially for feeding, crushing and donating to shrines.

  • Having fixed quantities proportionally calculated is useful for some things, especially food.

    Perhaps adding an "other" or "?" option to display a text input field for quantity is the solution.  That would be useful for crushing just 7 barnacles when you have 50 in your bags.  I certainly wouldn't want to have to manually input a number every time I want to eat something, though.  I really like being able to mouse over the amounts visible to determine how much energy I'll get from each 10x vs 20x.

    Depending on how the coding is set up, perhaps piggies could be changed to always offer the option to feed three items, assuming of course that you've got at least that many.  Because no other interaction dialogs offer that kind of thing, it may be architecturally difficult to modify.

  • totally agree with this.

    +1 to the adding an "other" or "?" option suggestion. That would really help make things a lot easier.

  • Definitely agree with this.  Even just "type a number to drop/feed/etc. that amount"

  • Yes, agree a just 3 for feeding would be helpful.  Also agree with the crushing...I keep dying while crushing rocks and it's getting very frustrating that it doesn't warn me that I'll die if I choose 'all'...especially since I can't keep in my head the amount of energy all actions take...
