Firefly Transfer tool/skill

It's annoying to have a jar with fewer than 7 fireflies in it.  Thankfully, when making bricks, you only need 5, but to make crystals (and jack-o-lanterns) you need a full jar.  I have several jars with fewer than 7 of the little glow bugs inside.

The ability to transfer fireflies from one jar to another, either through a tool or skill, would be really helpful.

  • Tutorial time:

    When you find a swarm of 7 + x fireflies, you can "convert" non-full jars into full jars. If you find a swarm of 8 flies, open up your 6/7 jar. You will get 7 flies, release 6 flies into a remaining swarm of 1 fly, then 20 seconds later when you can harvest again, you can collect 7 flies.

    ETA: This doesn't change the validity of the suggestion though, a transfer mechanism would be neat.

  • @Zinfidel: Thanks for the info.  I wasn't 100% sure on how the mechanics of the buggies worked, because it was obvious you can't whistle at them immediately after doing so, but I wasn't sure how long it was until you could try again.  Still have to find a swarm with at least 8 flies in it, though.  Is there a pattern to how quickly new fireflies spawn?

    When the world is busy it's pretty hard trying to get a full bottle.

  • I haven't really investigated their respawn time, I'm afraid.

  • The wish to consolidate firefly jars is a long-standing one. We ought to be able to drag one jar on top of the other in our inventory to maximum to 7 in one jar.
