Baby milk

Free

The AI considers price when choosing food, preferring cheaper options when hunger is moderate and saving premium food for special occasions.

Inventory vs Shopping

Inventory Food

Pets start with some food. Using inventory is free (already paid for).

Shopping

When inventory runs out, food must be purchased. This requires gold.

The AI checks inventory first and only shops when necessary.

The Feeding Process

When the AI decides to feed:

  1. Open the feeding menu

  2. Select "Give food" or "Give treat"

  3. Browse available options

  4. Select appropriate item

  5. Confirm choice

  6. Pet eats with animation

  7. Hunger increases

Every step is visible on screen.

Smart Food Choices

The AI makes intelligent decisions:

  • Very hungry? → Big meal

  • Slightly hungry? → Snack or treat

  • Hungry AND bored? → Treat for both

  • Baby? → Milk only

  • Low on gold? → Cheaper options

Starting Inventory

New pets begin with:

  • Basic meals (bread, pizza, etc.)

  • Some treats

  • Medicine

  • Milk (for babies)

This ensures early feeding is possible before gold accumulates.
