Picking up piggy plop

Picking up (or examining) piggy plop can be very frustrating in a pen with several pigs and chickens constantly moving around.  It can be quite challenging to lure them all away from the plop long enough to get the focus on it an then click.  It seems that the animals always have a higher priority on the focus and will steal it from the plop.  Plus, once you manage to click on a plop your avatar moves to it, and all the animals then cluster around you, making it impossible to click on other plops in the same location.  So if I've just fed the piggies enough to get 16 plops (for seed for my 16 plot garden) it can seem to take forever to get all the plop picked up and changed into seeds.  Perhaps the plop could have focus priority or else there could be a "pick up how many" dialog when you finally get the mouse focus on one.  Anything would help!

  • I there a reason you don't use the keyboard? When you select multiple items/animals with "enter" you get the option to choose what you want to interact with.

  • Thanks, Victoria.  My normal game technique is to move with the aswd keys with my left hand and select with the mouse with my right.  I have at times used enter and seen the multiple choice dialog, but for some reason that option never occurred to me in relation to piggy plop!  I'll definitely try it next test.
