  • I stopped carrying Butterfly lotion and am still able to Massage the wee blighters.  Perhaps if you did not have the lotion in your inventory it would not decrement?

    I admit I did not try it with lotion in my inventory.

  • Once I didn't need to use the lotion I stopped massaging (is that evil?). Still get milk though. Am I exploiting the poor buttahfliez?

  • It rubs the lotion on its skin...

  • @Supershero: I thought the point of AK6 was that one no longer needed to waste energy massaging butterflies. I'd imagine you're not then, since that's a design feature.

    The issue can also be expanded to AK6, massaging butterflies and then milking them expends the 'charge' generated by the milking, despite it not being required for milking.

  • If it's in your inventory it'll still use the butterfly lotion, but if you don't have any you can still massage the butterfly. I'm not sure why that's a problem (assuming you were saying it's a problem?) considering there's no other use for butterfly lotion and you can safely just get rid of it and still massage butterflies.

    Am I missing something?

  • Seems like a bug report to me, actually. I'm guessing lonelystranger's point is that whether you need the lotion or not, it shouldn't be being used up at that point. Let's say you carry a couple tubes to gift to new players. You wouldn't want them being used up. And as to why you might keep massaging: There's an achievement to massage 503 butterflies; I had finished all my AK before I got that one, so I was still massaging at that point also. Maybe repost in bug thread, lonelystranger?

  • Didn't expect so many replies so quickly. Rascalmom (nice name!) is spot on. It's a small thing that the lotion is used when you have AK V but nonetheless I think it's a behaviour that is not expected.

    I must have posted to the wrong forum :p. I guess the giants fixed this one!
