Island Sanctuary - Raise mammet care maximum values

I, like many others, have had my island on auto-pilot with the mammets for a very long time.
I would like to request an increase in the maximum care values.
Pasture care is 20 animal leavings per animal.
Cropland care is 50 harvested crops.

Both of these basically work out to 10 days of care before care is halted.

We can store up 999 animal feed, which means 24 days of care. 20 animals, feed twice a day, 40 food per day.
We can store up 999 of seed, and since most croplands are only growing 2 or so each crop, this will last years.
Anyone that does island consistently has enough cowrie's to last for months.

As feed is the limiting factor I would suggest setting:
Animal leavings to 60 and Cropland to 200

These values would allow you to ignore your island for 3 weeks should you choose to do so before the mammets just stop working.

Other changes would have to be made. If the idea is to leave your Island alone for an extended period of time - what about Granaries? What about the workshop? In theory, granary shouldn't be too hard. It is probably a constant that defines the maximum number of days you can set your granary. The workshop could be "solved" by allowing us to continue to plan out the current week and next week and allowing a "default setting" for every week after that. If you don't log in, just run some standard preset for 5 days and you get what you get.

But with that said... there also is no reason to run your island for weeks on end without logging in. There is nothing to spend cowries on anyway. As it stand right now, you can pop in once per week and probably get about 80% of the "maximum" cowries. That's not too bad.

I honestly got to around 600k crowries and stopped caring about the island entirely.

The last update we got for it was so barebones that with the resources I already had it took me like a week to cap it again, I see no reason to think that the 6.4 update wont be more of that.

So what you're saying is that IS is a mistake, and that the easiest way to correct the mistake is to make it so incredibly hands off that we can forget about it for up to three weeks?

I forgot about my island just fine without more help.

so you want to be hands off and want them to adjust the system so you can be lazy and not worry about going on it. i mean you don't have to go on it now. the mammets will stop when both crops and animal leavings max out and wait for you while taking you crowries daily.

How many cowries do you need? Just take a break from the island if you don’t want to take care of it.

If you stop caring for your island, your animals and stocks will still be there. You don’t lose anything. You only need to feed your animals twice to get them back at 100%. Atm, my Island is abandoned. I will return to it when they add new things and then I will see.

You are correct about Granaries. Granaries should be increased to a minimum of 2 weeks; just so it matches the existing limits of work halting for pasture/cropland (10 days) and workshops (2 weeks).

My Island is just like my neopets, forgotten and probably dead.

I am disappointed that this thread is not in fact asking for the mammets to be nicer and more considerate.
