Fantastic Friday: Butler update

Your butler now has the ability to hand out gifts to your visitors. Give your butler a (single) stack of items, and he will give one item from the stack to each visitor who approaches her (or him).

We hope you enjoy this feature!

Sincerely, 

The Butler Education Office of Ur

  • Oh, this is AWESOME.  NOw I know what to do with my 100 RKs!

  • ...or not.  Since they don't stack, I can't.  Boo.

  • Oh... but... only one stack!? And only one item?! What if I want to 10 spicy grogs to each of my guests? Or a (insert something that doesn't stack, or doesn't stack very high)?

    Can visitors come and go and get something for each visit?! Or is it limited to one per person per game day?

    I get so many visitors that anything shy of a stack of fibre wouldn't last very long. Not very long indeed...

    I thought my dreams were coming true, but looks like my dreams have been rubed slightly.

  • Each visitor only gets one item from the current stack, but if you give the butler a new type of item, or he runs out and you give him more, then somebody who visited previously will be able to get another gift.

  • I've just tested this, went back to the street of someone and it did not give duplicates - brill!!!

  • I would like to have my bot give out gameshow tickets.  i have dozens.  But I can only give the bot one ticket.  I guess that is cause they aren't stackable.  Would you consider changing that so we can give her a stack of tickets?

  • Cats1524 — tickets will be stackable in the not-too-distant future.

  • @Stoot -- Yay!  That will be fun!

    Posted 11 months ago by le beebs Subscriber! | Permalink
  • really cool!
    notes need to be able to stack as well
    for example if we want to give people newspapers or flyers

  • I understand that you are going to make tickets stackable, but stack sizes seem to limit our generosity, potentially by a lot.

    Maybe the butler's pockets could be more SDB-sized?

  • Woot! This is much more exciting than the Olympic opening ceremony. Seriously.
    Posted 11 months ago by Tonya Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think the stack limit is fine, otherwise butlers turn into little stuffed vending machines. 

    It would be nice if the butlers could accept more items.  Sometimes I have stock to hand off and the 5 item limit is too few.  10 would be much better.

  • I just love this!!
    Posted 11 months ago by Pirate Apples Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh my gosh, this is so great! I think the stack limitation is reasonable, but I do look forward to giving out Gameshow Tickets. :)
    Posted 11 months ago by Twotone Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We can really only give our butler one type of thing? (I don't mind having a 1-stack limit, but I would like to hand out a meal and a drink.)
    Posted 11 months ago by Flowerry Pott Subscriber! | Permalink
  • YAAAAAAAAAY thank you thank you :D:D
    Posted 11 months ago by diaveborn ♥ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I like the idea of some gift-giving serendipity... a stack means they all have to be the same. Oh well.

  • love it!

  • Fan-tabulous!!!

  • First - great great addition to the game. Thank you!

    That said, can we make Firefly Jars (and so many other items) stack-able? I spent a few minutes thinking I had to add each one individually before realizing that The Bot Face would only take one total.

  • Is there a way to check the "inventory" of our Butler to see how much, or of what, they have left?
    Posted 11 months ago by Mithax Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I really love that idea.
    Posted 11 months ago by Miss Melody Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Brilliant idea :)
    Posted 11 months ago by Momo McGlitch Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ditto Mithrax - Butler needs a "Check Inventory" function to see how many X are left.  Also, a way to change or stop giving X so you can give Y instead.

    Grilled cheese anyone?  No?  How about Cruddites?   Etc, etc...
    Posted 11 months ago by WallyMcBeal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @WallyMcBeal: If I try to give my butler something else, she offers to return what she is holding first. Does yours do that too?
    Posted 11 months ago by Flowerry Pott Subscriber! | Permalink
  • mmm u have to have a stack of thing, can we put random things with the butler instead of having a stack of things given out?
