• 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 goats' mood reflects the special item they're closer to yield in parallel with the cashmere production:

Curious if they have yet to be fed any item that contributes to any special item;

Saccharine when closer to produce mint goat milk due to having been fed sugar or sugar/caffeine hybrid items;

Jittery when closer to produce goat latte due to having been fed caffeine items;

Angry when closer to produce goat horns due to having been fed Ranged or Melee weapon items;

Playful when closer to produce goat's eye marble due to having been fed combat items;

Haughty when closer to produce golden cashmere fleece due to having been fed high value items;

Distressed when closer to produce bezoar due to having been fed hard to digest items;

• High value items consist on the following: cardinal's ruler, Fast Eddy's cold cash, scale mail
• Hard to digest items consist on the following: yuggothium equipment, alluring business suit,The Slime's snuggie
• 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 (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.

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.
