Big Chinchompa Completionist Requirement

[MTheory]

It says I must have scored 1,111 in a session of Big Chinchompa so I went and did the minigame and got 1,140 on my second game. After that I tried to put on the completionist cape it still says I need that score on the minigame. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

There's a bug with the score system, if you scored 1,111 only after the minigame ends (i.e. when your remaining moths are automatically converted to points) then it doesn't count for the completionist requirement.

 

If you scored 1,111 before the game ended and it didn't knock out the requirement then you should submit a bug report or retry it, I know some people who've scored 1,113 and not been able to wear their cape.

Ah okay thank you, I had 1098 and the rest was converted for me. There was still over 5 minutes left on the timer when the chinchompa was put to sleep. Why is there even a timer at all if it will go to sleep before time runs out? Pity I can only do this twice a day.

Because it has two ways to end, much like pest control, either the timer ends OR the hunger meter gets filled up.

While it is busy the meter will fill up first, when it gets quieter it will run 20mins then expire.

Skills & Minigames:

The Big Chinchompa minigame now more reliably checks if a player's score exceeds 1111 for the Completionist cape.

 

This was in today's patch notes so this might have changed.

Yeah I went back and did it on a German world so there was noone else there and I'd have the full time to get the points. I'd understand if ending the game before the time runs out like in pest control would be good but it seems we would want to do this on a world with very few people so we can get maximum points possible. We are only able to do this twice a day anyways.
