Title: Add Consumables Fragments: 5 minutes versions(or less) to balance the duration so they will end together and 30 minutes of HE bubblegum
Description:
I would like us to add feature to break the most important (vital) and expensive consumables, so that they will end their duration together or at near time when the smaller one of either is used (either the one potion or the bubblegum side). I don’t mind the slight inneficiency in the exchange rate if that means the smaller version could be implemented in a balanced way and in more numerous quantity (e.g. 30 minutes the one breaks into 7x 4 minutes pieces which totaled up to 28 minutes instead of full 30 minutes of 6x 5 minutes pieces). There are cases that for some reason either the drop rate/exp consumables will end slightly faster or slower than the buffing/guyak consumables part and that’s kind of bad because no way you are going to pop out another 30 minutes consumables set without wasting some and will probably ended up unbalanced again.
What I can think of the said consumables to be fragmented into smaller pieces are(for now):
the one potion
Ordinary bubblegum
Real battle manual
HE bubble gum
guyak pudding
force potion
30 minutes / 1h unlimited fly wing box (this one maybe not such a good idea)
Also related is HE bubblegum problem which has only 15 minutes version (or kindly tell me if the 30 minutes version exist) of which I often miss the timing to reactivate and that I use it in tandem with The One potion. A combined one which last 30 minutes (same duration as The One potion) would be nice.
Why is this a good idea?
maybe it’s just me but i like it when consumables and buffs ends up their duration together. Also that it’s generally frustrating when forgetting to pop out the HE bubblegum mid the one potion duration and you cannot do anything about that.
What risks or downsides does it have? And Additional info?
maybe setting precedent for breaking up everything’s into smaller version of them idk. But this feature is just the diagonally reversal of the combination feature which combines consumables into a 1h version of them that already exist for a long time.
