I've always kind of wondered why there were two items with different names that do the exact same thing: roasted lambs and red bulls. Both items give double energy for 8 hours.

So my suggestion is to either change one of these to a 4-hour double energy item, or to make a new item that is 4 hours of double energy. 8 hours is a really long time and I only have time to use these on days off, and if I'm not busy on said day (I personally don't want any hours to go to waste either...). I honestly would love a 4-hour double energy item to use on busier days off or after work. Unfortunately, changing either the roasted lamb or red bull to a 4-hour double energy boost would make said item lose value, so it might be easier for everyone if a brand-new item was added to the game. Perhaps it could be something called a Coffee Bean, and it's a literal coffee bean that gives 4 hours of double energy? That's just a suggestion that would match the red bull, but realistically it could be anything.



This suggestion has 20 supports and 0 NO supports.

Honestly, something as simple as Espresso Beans, or something called Monster (Like the Energy Drink) would be really nice. Maybe "Monster" could just be some type of animal carcass, but I'm not sure what animal

Right! I personally think Coffee/Espresso Beans would be really cute, while still keeping the more "natural" aspect of the game

Yes please! <3

It looks like something the player base has been asking for since at least 2018; these are great ideas for how to introduce a thematically appropriate item!
I'd love to see it incorporated, or an answer as to why we aren't getting one.

In my opinion, if offered in the Oasis or a less-used Event it would actually increase GB sales and/or Event participation as it would encourage people to use any & all free time they have on the game.
We do have Energy Boosts for 2GB and other short-term items for a quick explore session, but that doesn't necessarily keep people checking in on the game for a 4- or 8- hour period and would lead to less site-wide engagement from that player as they'd just log in, do their (free) explore & leave.
There's a section of the playerbase like us with slightly less free time that could be fully utilized with this item!

Please let us do what we can in-game without the disgruntlement feeling like we've "wasted" half our currency or items- disgruntled players take hiatuses, express displeasure, or leave the game, & we don't want that.
Thank you for the refreshing ideas!

Thanks for the support!

I didn't even realize that this had been suggested before, but hopefully we'll have better luck getting this added to the game this time around. I usually would only have enough time for a 4-hour double energy boost unless if I happen to be off work and not busy that day, which really doesn't happen often. I would VERY happily use a 4-hour double energy item after work and on my days off, which would get me and players like me playing more, which is obviously good lol!

Totally agree! <3

Usually i'll check forums (like now ), Trading Center, & other features that inspire (expensive ) project plans and motivate me to keep playing while waiting for that double energy gain. An immediate Energy boost is satisfying too, but it doesn't keep me engaged; I just explore & go, if i've paid for that quick immediate explore experience.

If I have less time & don't want to "risk wasting" a full 8 hour Roasted Lamb/Red Bull, I just wander off and wait while playing something else or doing some other activity for a full free refill when i'm dealing with energy regain at the normal pace. Less engaged, possible hiatus when my gaming time or free time focus switches elsewhere. I think it's pretty obvious that means less $$ for Lioden.
Even for players who can't or don't buy GB, it means a less satisfying & less engaged experience.
This difference would be especially obvious during Explore heavy Event months.

Happy Players = Active Site = More $ !

I'm not sure how Game development thread merges go, but there's a lot of useful thinking & ideas here so I hope they all remain!
There's totally a use for this item! <3
