New bug category for barter stand - rare bugs

Postby pppp » Fri Jul 12, 2019 1:35 pm

Please add an new category to choose from when setting up a slot in a stall. Suggested category name: "Rare bugs" (though "not bulk-available bugs" would be more precise).
The category shall include:
- all types of ants
- Cave Centipede,
- Firefly (*),
- Grasshopper (*),
- Grub (**),
- Ladybug,
- Stag Beetle.

The reason is setting up a stall slot for <anybug> results with stall being filled with monoculture of Dragonflies, or cave moths, sometimes sand fleas or waterstriders. Setting up stalls to properly include all options would require 7 slots for the above and 14 if one wants to price-in higher quality, even more if 2 levels of q are not enough. Given, usually people sell these in small quantities, one cupboard for all types is not a big problem.

*) Fireflies and grasshoppers may come in larger groups but we are talking 5 vs full cupboard
**) Grub is disputable because in theory it can be farmed. I am yet to see a flood of grubs though.

Mirkwood log farm. Grubs love that Mirkwood.

The real question is, would a q40 Mirkwood log produce a q40 Grub.

I see what you want to do, but I also can't introduce and maintain random categories like that. You can either set up multiple stall slots, or, if anything should change, perhaps we could make it so that a single slot can be set to accept multiple types.

I think we had 80 logs or so and only got a few grubs a week, wasn't worth it but certainly funny.

Accepting multiple types in a stall slot would be a nice thing. Though I am both afraid it is a bigger work and, depending on the interface, I can already see people having <100 gold coins OR a beetle > kind of price.
