Point calculation details for "....And Ask Nothing in Return"

Here's some extra details for the feat. Doing the following will get you points in this feat:

1 point:
 - Petting or watering trees
 - Petting or feeding piggies (for a maximum of 3 points per piggy[1])
 - Messaging butterflies
 - Using fertillidust lite

3 points:
 - Singing to butterflies[2]
 - Using fertillidust (per use, not per tree affected)

Harvesting trees, nibbling piggies, milking butterflies and squeezing chickens will reset your tally up to that point on that street to zero. However, if you continue to do the actions that give you points after you harvested, those points will still count[3]. Your tally is added to your contribution after you leave the location, or reload the game. Your contribution will never decrease.

All locations that have animals and trees count. This includes your backyard, home streets, streets in Ur and enchanted forests.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Footnotes:

[1]: Any amount of food will do, including 1 grain
[2]: Doing this while on no-no counts
[3]: The upshot of this is that if you want to harvest, do it before watering and petting

  • There are a few strategies for this feat, but as far as I can tell the fastest way is to find home streets with large number of piggies restrained using a pig pole on very tight radius setting and pet them all. If you stand in the middle and not move, the piggies will always come up in the same location in the disambiguation picker, making it easy to pick them out. Using gurly drinks will reduce energy usage.

    An alternative is to sniff no no and sing to butterflies. This is worth more points, but you can only do it for 6 minutes until the no no runs out, and butterflies are much harder to catch.

    And now for some shameless plugging: To find home streets with large number of animals, check out the piggy, butterfly and animal routes. The directory also contains a list of players with the most piggies and butterflies. Click on the "visit these players" button on the left to visit a random selection of these players.

  • Planting seeds seems also to reset the counters, just like nibbling. Could be wrong, but the last 12 things I did on my street were watering and planting seeds, and my contribution didn't change over the last 5 minutes (w/ no more street changes).

  • Earlier tonight I tried incubating and poisoning trees, both of which (hilariously in the second case) seemed to be okay.  But I may have done it before doing point-earning stuff (I hadn't read this first), so maybe the score reset happened before I earned the points?  More SCIENCE! is needed here.

  • so glad i read this - was having a total DERP moment thinking i couldn't harvest and pet on the same streets if i wanted any feat credit. now i know i can get all my bubbles first and then go about petting/watering everything else. thanks!

    ps, for anyone wanting to look up home streets with large numbers of any particular resource, i find glitchroutes.com/build/ super helpful :D (often these people are on a resource route so you can follow street signs per their directions from there.)

  • Thanks for the info. I spent a bunch of time watering garden plots (since it mentioned plants), but I don't seem to be getting credit for it. I'll focus on the things listed above. The details are good to know.

  • That's awesome.

  • Okay, I did some SCIENCE and it turns out that poisoning trees does wipe your score for the street.  So I guess don't poison trees if you want to be a nice person!

  • I know the devs have something far more important to do..  but.-..   Can you tell us how many points in total were "lost" through misclicks?
