Feeding Goats

From Twilight Heroes Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
  • To be able to feed the goats you need to use instant goats. This adds the Box of Goats to your Workbench.
  • Goats start with a Calorie level of zero. Feeding them an item raises their Calorie level.
  • The number of Calories gained is equal to the autosell value.
    • Items with "green" as part of their name give double their autosell value in calories.
  • Every item that can be digitized can be fed to the goats. See details there.
  • They produce a wad of cashmere for each 250 Calories they consume.
  • The goats' mood reflects the special item they're closer to yielding in parallel with cashmere production:
Curious if they have yet to be fed any item that contributes to any special item;
Saccharine when closer to producing mint goat milk due to having been fed sugar or sugar/caffeine hybrid items;
Jittery when closer to producing goat latte due to having been fed caffeine items;
Angry when closer to producing goat horns due to having been fed Ranged or Melee weapon items;
Playful when closer to producing goat's eye marble due to having been fed combat items;
Haughty when closer to producing golden cashmere fleece due to having been fed high value items;
Distressed when closer to producing bezoar due to having been fed hard to digest items;
  • High value items consist of items with "gold" as part of their name and items with an autosell higher than 300 excluding those that already trigger other special items.
  • Hard to digest items include all defensive equipment with a power equal to or greater than 100.
  • The goats' hungriness has no known effect on the amount of items produced.
  • The Box of Goats Calorie level is reset to zero with every new Retcon run.

Box of Goats

You are the proud owner of a box of goats. They look (curious/saccharine/jittery/angry/playful/haughty/distressed) and (a little queazy from rehydrating... but still quite hungry/hungry... mostly hungry/hungry/a little hungry/inexplicably still hungry).

So, you should be careful about what you leave laying around near the box, because if the goats get ahold of it, it'll be gone forever.


Drop in the following items:

Messages

  • Adding an item:

You place the X <item> in the box of goats. The goats take turns standing on your offering for a while, then eventually get hungry and eat it bite by bite. Wow, they really will eat all sorts of crazy stuff.

  • Adding an item with "green" on the name, in addition to the previous message:

Man, they really seem to love <item>!

  • Trying to add more of an item than you have:

You don't have as many of those items as you'd like to feed your goats. You're trying to give them X, but you only have Y.

  • When they've consumed enough Calories to produce cashmere, you'll get one of the following messages:
When the goats haven't had enough to produce cashmere:

It doesn't look like your goats are ready for harvesting yet.

When the goats have had enough to produce 1 wad of cashmere:

Once they've finished eating, you notice your goats have produced a bit of cashmere.

When the goats have had enough to produce 2 wads of cashmere:

Once they've finished eating, you notice your goats could use a quick shave. And a hair cut. Two bits.

When the goats have had enough to produce 3 or more wads of cashmere:

Once they've finished eating, you notice your goats have produced a handsome crop of cashmere.
