No card returns grain to 10 per squeeze...

When I mentioned on global that grain had been nerfed to 5 per squeeze, the devs (I think stoot himself even) said that these perks have been moved to upgrade cards. Ok, that's great. I got all the animal-related cards that the game seems to have? Because for the past few days, all I get now are brain capacity, energy tank, and quion multiplier cards.

Is there really a card that restores the grain to 10 like it was before? If so, it's NOT showing up. Is it on a card I already have? If so, it's NOT working.

I literally get half the grain I used to, even after getting the upgrades. I thought this change in system was supposed to get us back to our original collection efficiency once we got the cards? 5+5+5+5+5 with the very occassional 15 is a lot less than 10+10+10+10+10 with the occassional 10. In fact, I think ANIMAL super harvests happened more often in the old system, too!

Squeezing for grain is one of the most tedious things to do when collecting basic resources, because the chickens fly up and around and all around, overlap with other chickens or objects and it just becomes a huge mess, because you gotta hit the same chicken 5 times and the only fast way to do that is spam enter in front of one and hope for the best. Now that they give half the returns, we gotta do that a lot more than before.

  • I know! This makes me a sad little glitch.

  • Yeah, the animal gathering skills were pretty much the core of my daily play style, so of course those cards never show up for me. xP I am very saddened to know that my skills will never be back where they were.

  • Spam enter then Q in succession. I can usually squeeze 5 times this way before a chicken can fly away.

  • Well, either way, it sucks we're getting half the grain. I hope it's a bug and not a permanent nerf.

  • It helps if you squeeze chickens near a chicken stick. Feel free to come to my yard, I'm on the spice route and have a buncha chickens! :)

    I agree that chicken superharvests seem fewer, but I feel like pig and butterfly superharvests have gone drastically up (luckily for me, those are the ones I value more).

  • I also miss the old 10 per squeeze harvests. Grain is the main thing I use when making hooch to donate. Maybe it's a card that we just haven't found yet?

  • Hey stoot, possibly a stupid question!  In the fullness of time, will we ever run out of cards? Is it possible, in theory, to purchase ever single upgrade card in the "deck" (even if it would take a year)?

  • Sweet!  For some reason I can never get tired of squeezing chickens so I'll be glad to be back to 10 grain.

  • Although I have never seen or heard of a card that returns your base chicken squeeze to 10, the super animal harvest cards can boost your super harvest of grain up to 20 which is a pretty good amount considering how often super harvests come up. Still probably a little less than before on average.

  • I just squeezed my chickens and got 15 grain as a super harvest, a couple of times. Anecdotal data point, I know, but shows more-than-five can happen.

  • You should be able to get up to 20 for a super harvest depending with that one card that grants you X4 on animal harvest compared to the old 10.

    I'm not sure this is working right though. I don't think I have seen anyone get 20?

  • I've got 5 grain from a squeeze, and then +15 more for a Special harvest.  Not sure whether that's the effect of x3 or x4.

  • I have gotten a "20 grain" super harvest several times in the past 2 hours.
