wormwood's carrat

[spicycheese]

Why doesn't a carrat collect manure and guano. 

Why doesn't a carrats collect manure and guano,
While they collects rot and rotten eggs? 
Including spoiled fish and Glommer's Goop.
And I thought poop, for wormwood, is a food.

 

So I want they to collect these things too.

I think it's because they check to see if they're edible but I do agree they should pick those up as well.

I want a dedicated carrat butler who collects manures dropped by my beefalo all day and every day, and put them in a dedicated box or just eat them or disappear them.

This would be so nice. 

Ipecaca creates a whole field of scattered manure carrats helping pick them all up would be awesome.. 

it even picks up glommer’s goop which is actually a negative.

I'd be asking for too much but would love being able to go for separate paths improving further on each pet, like instead of spending 3 points on rat, bulb, salad i'd rather spend extra point on carrat if it unlocks ability for it to collect what I've just mined/chopped/hammered.

Would be nice if they could recognize image on minisign and head to nearest chest with it. Real rats are smart enough for it.

My idea was if you could give them an item, then that carrat would only seek and pick up that item until given a different item.

Give one a log and another a pinecone and they could pick up after you. Dismiss them to get the original item back and resummon if you need a different item picked.

Maybe having no item would default them to their current behavior of finding anything edible.

That sounds like a great idea! it gives us another option to automate picking things up other than switching to maxwell. Maybe they could also pick farm plants and bring the seeds and fruits back to you! (Not giant crops, normal size).

Recently, I discovered another problem with carrats. They like to run to collect food in the wall and then run against the wall. I try to walk away, they wouldn't follow me.

I really wish lightbugs and carrats swapped places at least. Light is universal while saladmanders and carrats specialize in different playstyle. If people want carrats and lights it's still possible with the new skill tree. 

And while people who farm will have one less skill point, if you're spending most of your time on a farm to utilize carrats (giant crops) then you're already doing less fighting anyways (and shouldn't need as many offensive skills).

Lightbugs already cost 6 points to access and they are a minor improvement over a miner hat (no improvement over a enlightened crown imo) so making them first is justified.
