Powder of Startling Fecundency

As I'm completely into Animal Slave labour, and all that jazz I wondered if it be possible for us currant driven mad men to share "data" on the use of Powder of Startling Fecundency. 

I will preface this with, I am not a clever man, rather I enjoy making Currents from those less fortunate then myself (mainly the Porcine Variety, I have ambivalent towards the flying species).

I spent the past few days in game working on a way to assess the Power of the Powder so to speak. Here are my results based on a set up of 27 Swine, 10 Butterflys and 3 Chickens (the chickens are for my own, nefarious purposes). I've disregarded the Grain side of things as well quite frankly, I force my pigs to eat the squeezings of the Chickens for self gratification. 

Number of Power of Startling Fecundency: 2 
Total Cost : (2 * 1200) = 2400
Cost per Spray : (2400/10) = 240

Average Meat Per Spray = 39
Average Butterfly Milk Per Spray = 12

Total Income Over 10 Sprays = 3818
Total - Costs  = (3818-2400) = 1418, or 141 currents per spray. 

The figures here are from selling the fowl smelling offshoots to a Tool Vendor for a tasty 80%.

Are you guys seeing similar returns on your Powder?  How would you go about maximising production with these things.

  • I'm not at all impressed with it.  I don't think I get as much as you do, and I have 28 happy piggies.

  • I understand it affects 15 animals maximum, just working out if its worth it at all.

  • I think before someone has RHK, or outside the home, it saves all the energy of animal interactions (petting/nibbling/massage x15) and therefore pays off; in the home with RHK, looks like it does not.

  • Except with rhk works independently of fecundity, as does the daily pet/nibble xp and gains. so, if you put in the equipment and nibble and spray you can get a whole lot more in each game day out of one back yard.

  • It's probably totally worth it if you haven't developed any AK skills, which is perfectly reasonable if you're concentrating on other skills.   Me, I have 8 piggies, 8 butterflies, 2 milkers, 2 feeders and 2 collectors.  I am absolutely swimming in milk and meat and don't need to do anything but top the feeders off with easily obtainable grain.

  • If you look at it a different way...

    You have 141 Currents Every 10 Minutes profit
    846 Currents per Hour
    or 14.1 Currants per Minute

    I know that for 10 minutes you can do other things, but for me it doesn't seem that appetising of an investment.

  • Whats even more, you don't generate a profit until the 4th spray. It makes even less sense for a short term gain player to be using this stuff.

  • Ah yeah, I don't use it much.  Sucks it only works on 15 animals, I won't be making it anymore.
