Talk:Food chain

Wait... some pinatas eat each other? Sweet.

Food Chain

Yeah, it definitely sounds like it... One of the common examples is that the sparrow is attracted to your garden because it wants to eat the worm pinata.

There was also mention that in order to attract certain pinata to your garden you need to break open existing ones because they want to eat thet candy that's inside.

We could do with adding a "Food Chain" section to the pinata entries, as I know myself it was something I've been looking for online. It certainly helps when you're hunting/breeding a specific breed. Fluffstardx@hotmail.com 08:33, 26 December 2006 (EST)

Passive

I'm thinking now that the food chain may be passive. While some pinatas may be attracted to other pinatas, as a potential source of a meal, it's likely that they don't actively eat other those other pinatas, but have to be given a specific pinata to eat (e.g. to trigger an event, such as residence, mating, or possibly changing into a different species.) --FeralKitty 16:13, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

I've noticed that, once a predator eats a required prey, it tends to only have conflict with them. All my Mousemallows keep getting eaten by invading Syrupents, but once they're residents the Mousemallow wholesale slaughter stops... Fluffstardx@hotmail.com 08:33, 26 December 2006 (EST)

Sours

I suspect a large number of pinatas would fight with a sour. I think the conflict chart should be reserved for resident species who don't get along. --FeralKitty 04:40, 28 October 2006 (EDT)

Sure, I was just noting that because it was pointed out in not one but two videos. But that works. --Spartan 15:28, 28 October 2006 (EDT)

Conflicts

We gotta be careful about what we designate as species likely to fight... There are plenty of reasons that they might be fighting other than general species animosity. --Jimmcq 01:39, 11 November 2006 (EST)

OK, no problem. I'll wait until I can see what's going on, myself. --FeralKitty 01:48, 11 November 2006 (EST)

There are a lot of species conflicts not in that table (for instance, no mention of Pigxies or Swananas, who attack each other on sight). To avoid confusion, we should probably (1) update the table to show all conflicts, or (2) indicate that the table only contains examples and that other conflicts exist. -- Mud 19:57, 23 November 2006 (EST)

The '(1) update the table to show all conflicts' choice would be the way to go. Honestly, it's not something I remember to take notes about while playing, but any corrections/additions should be made. --FeralKitty 20:44, 23 November 2006 (EST)

Yeah, the idea was to list all species that will attack each other on sight... important info to help plan a garden. --Jimmcq 23:34, 23 November 2006 (EST)

I went ahead and added the Pigxie, Swanana, Rashberry fights as they are attack on sight and can keep a garden in turmoil if you dont have a Bonboon. My Swananas and Pigxies would literarly fight, get healed and turn around and fight again. Elvenwind 07:17, 7 December 2006 (EST)

the real foodchain

It would be rather pointless, but quite interesting, if we actually made a food chain of which creatures can eat which creatures, a real food chain of the pinata world.

Or consider adding plants/fruits/seeds etc into the mix --CKazz 12:23, 4 January 2007 (EST)
