Report #1305
Skillset: Beastmastery Skill: BeastFeed
 Org: Nekotai Status: Rejected Oct 2013
Furies' Decision:
Recovery and reversal of feeding is not possible, as this data is not stored;
additionally, it is not necessary to wait for the feedbag to empty completely to
apply additional feeds (regardless of type). Further, the beastmastery chemset
can be used to feed/train a beast quickly.
Problem: Raising a beast is reasonably involved work. There is the incubation
period, not to mention properly prepping a beast with feeds until the necessary
reagents (i.e. mindoru, suporu, bodoru) can be applied. There may come a point
where a trainer decides to alter the training schedule. However, the beast would
need to finish feed in the feedbag before switching to another feed type (i.e.
moving from a meat to a fish schedule). I would like to ease the burden of
syntax and wait periods by introducing a BEAST EMPTY FEEDBAG syntax.
Solution #1: New syntax BEAST EMPTY FEEDBAG and trainer recovers feeds.
Solution #2: New syntax BEAST EMPTY FEEDBAG and all feed is wasted.

Erm, Solution 2 supported

This is probably a little more complex than it seems at first glance - once a
feed is placed in the feedbag, it is 'eaten' and contributes towards reagent
limit and appearance. Although I don't know the underlying stuff, I expect that
there are just a few numbers kept, never an ordered list of the last four feeds
in the feedbag.

It might be more complex, but it would still be pretty cool to be able to do it.
However, if all that is desired is the removal of the wait times, you could just
let BEAST EMPTY FEEDBAD not actually recover the feeds, but give it a 24-hour
cooldown (so you can't apply all the feed at once). Basically, solution 2 with
a cooldown.
