Turkey/Animal sitting for vacations (hermits)

[riker88]

Allow players to activate vacation mode on turkeys, animals and anything else that dies without constant attention.

Currently- When a player takes a 2 week vacation they will come home to dead animals. (Only effects hermits)

Suggestion- Allow players to activate a vacation mode or better yet have a npc in Providence that watches/feeds your animals for a fee, say 2 silver/day per animal.

Although this idea does sound interesting you could also make more turkey coops and fill them all with just a hen and a gobbler(move the gobbler right under then hen when you go on vacation to stop eggs from spawning at all)

Of course, if you are already running like 20+ turkey coops with 3 rows full then its not really a good idea. But if you have turkey coops with high purity and you need to keep that purity
you should just leave 1 hen in each coop with the matching purity(don't even leave a gobbler in there)

Typically a full out blown turkey coop lasts for 3 days (19 Turkeys)
I'm pretty sure that leaving only 1 turkey is sure to make it last approximately 50-60 days.

So once you come back all you need to do is grab a couple wild gobblers and slowly start repopulating the coop back up without loss of purity.

I have a 35% gobbler, and 2 rows of 26-28% hens. (1 coop) So if I take a vacation, I should kill off all but the gobbler & 1 hen I guess.

No, you should have only 1 per coop if you can do that, if you only have 1 coop, then yea, hen and gobbler, but put the hen on the bottom row.

Otherwise, as I already said in another post some time ago, you gain % on the turkeys rather fast, whereas the coop is the thing gaining % slow and slowing down progress, so even if you lose your turkeys, you can always:
1.) ask for some medium % ones, or buy them from other players
2.) catch fresh ones, the % of them will reach the % of your coop MUCH faster than it took you to get the coops % in the first place
