Feeding Goats

This page contains some non specific data which NEEDS SPADING: filling notes section |
- To be able to feed the goats you need to use instant goats. This adds the Box of Goats to your Workbench.
- They produce a wad of cashmere for each 250 Calories they consume.
- Every item that can be digitized can be fed to the goats. See details there.
- Items with "green" as part of their name give double their autosell calories.
- 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/distressed/angry/jittery/playful/haughty/saccharine) and (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:

- 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.

Man, they really seem to love <item>!
