Hm, I haven't really been paying any attention to keeping the elements even, but then I don't really always stick to an elemental knuffel's primary element when I level up their digging stats.
So probably MOST of my knuffels aren't actually best at digging in the area they're from.

I just have a naming system where the first letter in front of a name tells me what they specialized in....

The "Z" ones are at 19 each when they reach lvl 100, so I can dig wherever.

Oh! That reminds me! You know how the new Firefly Jar doesn't seem to actually affect your food winnings from light the way that the ChipChip fountain affects your food winnings from water?

So I have a new theory: that "no stacking" rule maybe is accidentally applied to all the food-from-each-element items instead of to each elemental one singly.
(IE if you have 2 chip chip fountains, it's the same as having just 1. But maybe there's a thing where a lightning bug/ firefly jar counts the same as a second chipchip fountain, which is why only the one element is affected?)

I don't know, but I'm thinking about setting up a little spread sheet and starting to keep track and rearranging which item is on which knuffel so I can test it out properly.

It would explain a lot!

Woah! It looks really handsome, I'm tempted buying him! When I'll come up with the right name I'll definitely make him mine :3

@Akili: I never even put the chipchip fountain and the firefly jar in the same room But your theory seems kind of legit actually. Although that's pretty mean XD Maybe it's about the knuffel's element, too?

Ehhhh, I've got those items in just about every element there is, noticing the same patterns across all of them. So if the elements are involved somehow it'd be a subtle effect.

But could be!

I'll have to add in some columns and track that as well.

Lol, as I said, I'm clueless about the matter

Aaaah, he looks amazing. :}

I know. This was so not the outcome one was expecting. Still love them. :}

I think that's how most of them are developing. The final stages are a slight surprise
