I'd love to have a way to track which snax have been donated to Gramble.

I'm genuinely surprised that wasn't an achievement, in fact. You've gotta catch 'em all anyway, right?

[Siamese55]

You do not technically have to catch them all. Especially pre-Isle of Bigsnax, there was not necessarily a built in incentive either. However, now you get a letter reward for doing so from Filbo. Plus Gramble asks for specific donations along the way anyway.

I agree with you, though. I have seen a few suggestions that even if the organization was improved it would be easier. (AKA, arrange the donated snax by location like in the journal or or at least alphabetically.) I ended up writing it down on a piece of paper and checking them off there (oddly enough missed Rootle of all things).

Anyway, it is definitely doable. I did it. However, I would have preferred not for it to have been such a task. Personally? I'd like a donation check mark in the journal like with Animal Crossing. I can see why it is low on the list, though.

If you're doing the letters, you do nave to have to catch all of them. There is an achievement for 100, but there's more than that in the game.

I just like making people happy, is all.

It's doable, but kinda confusing at times. It helps if you donate the first snax type you catch first.

This has been requested and is on my list. I'll probably just do a simple color highlight similar to how 'new' bugs are highlighted when your bag is full and you need to discard extras.

EDIT: Oh, adding some sort of icon in the journal would also be good.

As far as achievements/rewards, we've been very mindful to not to hide rewards behind super completionist activities whether it is donating all the bugs or completing all the letters since we feel like too many people feel compelled to go for them when they know it exists. I feel that can really sour the experience for people when it feels like a required grind even if completely optional.

I can understand that! On one hand, there are 112 Bugsnax in the game to catch (including the super secret one), which doesn't seem that far off from 100. But it gives people some leeway to avoid snax that are particularly hard to catch, or even to find (some of those critters are sneaky).

I just tend to be one of those overachievers when it comes to games I like, and I just really enjoy Bugsnax. I've finished the game, done all the achievements, did all the quests, all the mail tasks, did the hidden stuff, everything... and want to play more.

Right now I'm playing through a second time, and writing a walkthrough guide as I go (on top of the other two guides I've posted already). You guys made an amazing game, and honestly, I'll take any excuse to play it more.

I thought so too while playing and struggling to check which snakpod varieties I hadn't donated.

About a reward for ranch%, you guys do have your own take on it being grindy but it also feels nice to have your effort rewarded, even if by a decoration for your home or the ranch, just a letter or a new interaction with Gramble. Out of 96% of owners who started the game only 14% completed the rarest non-DLC achievement, so I'd assume people who don't feel like playing anymore simply don't.

Did this feature ever go in? I'm playing on PS5.

Edit: never mind! I just noticed the fence icon. Thanks!
