Option to close chicken dialog boxes

When I am squeezing chickens I find myself waiting and waiting for their dialog boxes to go away before I can squeeze a neighboring chicken. Can we get a close button on those things? (the boxes, not the chickens. Unless....)
Thanks for reading!

  • Escape works.

  • Mmm, I don't think it does. Tried it a few times and nothing.

  • Sorry, specifically I mean when you mouse over the chickens to 'squeeze' them. When that dialog box pops up escape does not work to close it.

  • How about walking forward or backward (pressing left or right directional key)?

  • I spam "enter" to squeeze chickens, and hitting escape annoys me. . . . maybe it's just me. . .

  • People use the mouse? Enter+Arrow Keys is so much easier.

  • Nope, nope and nope.
    I am speaking of the the box that pops up after you get the grain from the chicken. It think it says how much energy was used or how much experience is gained?
    That box cannot be closed, only waited on, and it obscures the ability to click-"squeeze" a nearby chicken.

  • don't click. use enter.

  • With higher levels of the animal skills, squeezing chickens, milking butterflies and nibbling piggies can be done in one action with no "casting" bar. Sometimes it's easier for us to just stand in one spot and click on the little icon above their heads when our mouse hovers over than running after chickens like a mad Glitchian. This is especially handy for milking butterflies, all that jumping wears a my little Glitch out.

    So, yes I'd like to see those chat boxes go away or have an option to click through them, click them off, or maybe even turn them off all together in a settings menu.

    As far as the black box wall of text that pops up after you do something I'd like to get rid of those as well. I'd like to see the cute, but rather lengthy, explanations moved, shortened or have the option to be clicked off or turned off completely.

  • I'd also like to add that that "black wall of text" box can even block your inventory if you do things fast enough. I know when I go on a no-no binge I'm clicking on stuff in my inventory as fast as possible (cheese-making and cheese-mongering is serious business ya'll) and that black box really cramps my style when I have to wait for it to fade so I can keep going down the line in my inventory. And yes, I know there are keyboard shortcuts for inventory but I find clicking is easier and faster because things aren't always in a straight line in my inventory.

  • It's annoying when you're trying to squeeze a chicken, but its feet are off the ground and you get a popup that needs to be escaped.

    Although it is funny that it says "Get information.", as if you are roughing the chickens up, interrogating them about a crime.
