Funniest side-effect of "ooh trike-- ooh ptaco-- oh shit UR trike-- oh there's the second ptaco I need--" is that when combined with my current efforts to crown all five of my desmato Level 20, I can't walk everyone fast enough. I need to level the ptacos up in a hurry so they'll be able to do the farming I got them for, I need to walk the trikes every day because trikes have trust issues and take ~a week to saddle even if you minmax, and meanwhile I'm rotating through six sprinters while dithering over what order they should hit Level 20 in.
...one of my compromises is I'm giving my ptacos Poppins several times a day so they can farm more (for more exp). Normally you'd never convince me to do this because gasp, what if I need those Poppins for befriending!! But I have over a hundred and fifteen Crunchy Poppins, so, dispensing another every time a ptaco finishes watering five plots and then reports it's tuckered out feels like it's solving more problems than it's causing.
