Animal Sticks for sale at Animal Goods Vendors

The Animal Goods Vendors have added three new items to their inventory: Pig Sticks, Chicken Sticks, and Butterfly Sticks.

Place a Pig Stick in your house or yard to keep all your piggies near the stick. Chicken Sticks and Butterfly Sticks work the same way, except for Chickens and Butterflies respectively.

Some restrictions:
* You'll need the basic Herdkeeping skill.
* You can't place more than one stick of the same type in one location.
* You can't use animal sticks in locations that you don't own.
* Animal sticks don't work in houses that have animal pens (some houses in Alakol, Kajuu, and Aranna).

Also keep in mind that the animals can only stay near the stick if they can get to it, so don't put a Pig Stick on the top floor of your house and expect the piggies on the bottom floor to suddenly learn how to climb :)

  • How does this affect using collectors? Will collectors on the other side of the garden still fill if the animals are all around the stick at one end of the garden?

  • Billy- I'm guessing I'll work just fine - I have a pen and all my collectors are outside the pen - where piggies doesn't venture and they fill perfectly :)

  • Since I have a pen I can't use the animal sticks, but I'm loving the idea and think it will really help in houses w/out pens.

  • I'm at a disadvantage here since I don't see the big picture of current world or upcoming changes.  But doesn't this 'cheapen' the houses with animal pens?  Is this somehow related to upcoming housing changes?

  • Yussssssss radical.
    Posted 10 months ago by Stuv Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Houses with animal pens will be going the way of the dodo bird very soon. So... they may be "cheapened" for a week or two, but after that the only way you'll be able to wrangle your brood is through those sticks.

    EDIT: Hooray for the first signs of the new housing starting to trickle into our game play!

  • Mine don't appear to be working, my newly hatched chicken is on a different floor than the chicken stick, when it was hatched it was right next to it.

  • I really love them, specially how tall look placed
    can't wait for more news XD

  •  Linnæa, I am just guessing here, but from what has been said elsewhere, when houses first change over, backyard expansion will NOT be included. These will be a nice stop gap method, or sorts, until you are able to buy pens (or whatever else they have up their sleeves.

  • I think you're right Lord Bacon-o. ^_^

    Besides, I think it's cute. Now I can prevent that darned chicken from climbing up the ladder. >.<

  • I was getting some odd results trying to squeeze chickens in my yard with the chicken stick out. Often it was not registering that I was clicking on them, enter key wasn't selecting them, but then after a bit I was able to squeeze some chickens, but not all. Really inconsistent and....glitchy :)
    Piggy stick in the house did not cause piggies to come into the house, which they normally do not do - not sure if this is expected behaviour or not. Will continue doing Science in the interest of Glitchy Husbandry Knowledge.

  • Pens yes, sticks meh. 
    Posted 10 months ago by WalruZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sticks yes, content update coming later because pens are better than sticks and some might not like sticks as a stopgap measure: meh

  • Okay I just sat here for 45 seconds trying to parse what Saucelah said and now, finally, I'd like to say I'm pretty sure I agree.
    Posted 10 months ago by Sirentist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • These are like way cool. I can finally tend to my garden without butterflies, pigs, and chickens in the way. TY Glitch!
    Posted 10 months ago by Eye Wonder Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I wish I had some space in my yard to drop one.
    Posted 10 months ago by Brib Annie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • and how I wish they worked in houses with pens! 

    I have pigs on the top floor w/ the garden but really wish I could separate the chickens and the butterflies!

    Whenever new housing comes out I'm SO using the sticks instead of building a pen.
    Posted 10 months ago by M<3tra, obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That was very condensed, Saucelah!

    And, yeessssss for new housing stuffs showing up!
