Whats your petty annoyance?

Sometimes things happen by mistake when playing this game that may annoy you. What have you done that slightly annoyed you?

For me...I just accidentally donated 998 meats to a giant when I was meaning to only donate around 50 to a giant that is in no way related to the skill I'm learning. Doh!

  • I've not done this but I know a lot of times if there are butterflies in Neva Neva people will accidently sing to them instead of mining a rock, using up a lot of unnecessary energy.

  • When I'm moving too fast on the quantity picker it sometimes changes the numbers after I type them in.  So I ended up overfeeding a Batterfly.  Fortunately it capped the feeding at 60 meats and not the 350 it tried to do.

  • I keep tongs and 12-sided dice in my bags at all times, because sometimes I accidentally donate when chasing chickens....better something easily replaced than all my allspice...

  • I'm working on getting all the Icons right now so I'm nibbling piggies left and right. My annoyance is when I spend the time to calculate how many meat to donate to get it just right on EHSP and then I donate without sprinkling the EHSP. Then I have to do math all over again to get the right number and I HATE MATH.

  • I do the 12-sided dice thing too! Accidentally donated it yesterday while chasing chickens and glad it wasn't something of more value. All in all I think the order or actions in the menu's is the biggest annoyance for a lot of players. This should be ordered logically, not alphabetically.

    @coyote: You should search the forum for 'FavorSaver' it's a great app that does donation math for you!

  • I really hated it when I would donate to a shrine to bring it to just under the level required for an emblem, so I could speed up learning using use the points. But then my donation would give me experience and  I would go up a level, which gives you points at the shrine, which gets you an emblem and no shrine points. Argh!

  • I am not the roundest potato in the sack; I get distracted very easily.  I live in a 30k house in Andra, which has two floors.  The door is on the second.  But I lose it.  Constantly.  Which is why I never upgraded to a 50k house when they were available.  There are too many doors (one to go upstairs, one to go down, and one to go out) and I am afraid I will be trapped.

  • @whimpypotato I sympathise! When I lived in a 50k house, I regularly walked into the cupboard rather than the door to go upstairs...

  • On the accidental-donation thing: make yourself some Abbasid Ribs. Have an oops? Just make another one!

    (Granted, this won't save your 12-sided die...)

  • Just tried squeezing chickens with the enter key instead of clicking the grain symbol over their heads with my mouse (as I usually do), trying to see if it would go more quickly, and I, too, squeeze-donated my 12-sided die. Expensive error. I also incubated an animal egg I didn't want to incubate. Twice.

    Lesson learned. Back to using the mouse on those pesky chickens instead of the keyboard. :)

    Have also donated / fed more items than intended due to the default menu selection being ALL OF THESE instead of ONE OF THESE, and that is getting beyond old and aggravating at this point.

  • Lorelei,
    As an enter masher, I feel your pain. I've learned to just leave all eggs at home. If I'm pursuing chickens or piggies as I apporach a shrine, I will just slow down. Make sure I select the correct object before commencing the entering. My issues are around butterflies having Sing as the the default. I can be happily petting, squeezing and nibbling when out of nowhere a butterfly appears and takes top priority. 270 energy later, I'm not so happy. Also, the Rename on pigs really adds time to a smooth run as I have to press an extra key to get past it (and inadvertently name lots of pigs some sort of awsd combo).

  • Unless there's stuff everywhere, it can be hard to tell one another's same-model houses apart. I was on the top deck of a friend's place while he was offline. I went to a party, returned, and promptly planted all of *my* seeds in *his* garden because I'd forgotten I was at his house and not mine. D'oh!

  • My main small annoyance is butterfly singing, but that's because I do not carry eggs or tree poison, and I do NOT spam click around shrines.  It's too dangerous!  Piggys are another minor annoyance. I don't pet them much anymore because I have gotten into the habit of hitting n to avoid renaming them by mistake.

  • Odracir: To be fair, a lot of the problem was due to unexpected lag. If the game is sluggish, that's a good warning to watch out, but it if is playing smoothly and then suddenly has a lag burp, it is too easy to double-click or select the wrong thing and MAN does that bite.

  • Accidentally feeding piggies more than 3 crops when getting seeds. I lost 300 parsnips a few days ago like that. Good for the piggy, bad for me.
