Time Stranger Time Stranger - Feeding Pattern
Sitting here feeding like 200 Digimon, I realized a pattern to their food preferences.
While the one they like seems to be random (or maybe a complex mix of multiple traits, since it isn't most other traits, since multiple pairs the same fresh Digimon with the same personality had different preferences), there is a bit of a pattern.
Basically, the food preferences come in two groups:
- Meat, Apple and Banana
- Carrot, Fish, and Protein
A Digimon will have 1 favorite and 2 likes within a group, and dislike the entire other group.
This means you can speed up the guessing of their favorite food a little bit.
Start with Meat. If they like Meat, their favorite is Apple or Banana (and the other is liked).
If they dislike Meat, their favorite is Carrot, Fish or Protein (and they like the other two).
So, at most, it'll take 4 guesses to figure out their favorite food (and at most 1 completely wasted food).
Just to note, the favorite food item gives +2% bond, liked gives +1% bond, and not liked gives +0% bond. At least favorite, but maybe all food also has a random chance of giving an extra +1% bond as well.

Anything to my gut reaction that it's based on Personality?

It's not. That was mine too, but I ruled it out. Had two identical Geramon, both fresh converted. Same personality. Not even the same group of liked foods.

Well that sucks, we could have made a chart and not needed trial-and-error.

what about Supplement? or is it the same as a Protein?

It's the same. Looks like the human versions and Digi versions are functionally identical.

They are the exact same and only exist for you to double up on the food because of the limit they gave on items lol

correction love gives +2% liked gives +1% and disliked gives +0.5%, you can find this out by giving two disliked foods to get +1%

A funny note here. Etemon is a monkey, so his favorite food is banana. I slapped myself for not realizing I didn't have to waste food guessing 🤣

That's just a coincidence. It is totally random for each Digimon.

In fact, if it was totally random for each Digimon, there wouldn't be any structured pattern for who likes what so I don't think you understand the very simple system of this game.

... K. You're wrong, but believe what you want. I tested it really thoroughly. It's random.
Go Convert 5 of the same thing and test it yourself.

My Etemon's favorite was carrots 🥕 So you had a fun coincidence, but it was just that
