I have these in my current base. Last night, they allowed 3 wyverns to starve to death, and my bears also showed signs that they weren't eating as they grew up. The admin has them set up and they generate wyvern milk, but mine don't. They have nameless venom, but no milk. I made 4 to see if any would generate milk and none do. Any ideas?

It might be something on my end too. I'll try a singleplayer with just this mod and see what happens to a titanoboa.

@ErikRedbeard this is really strange. i need to investigate into it
ErikRedbeard 16 Aug, 2022 @ 12:20pm 
I've had multiple Titanboa's die using this. So I assume it doesn't provide for creatures that exclusively eat eggs?

@soylentrg yes, you are right. But why not? the other skin is a trash can.

danke dann schau ich mal ob das finde
Grebog  [author] 4 Feb, 2022 @ 6:24am 
@-=[PYRO]=- M©nk3y es gibt ein Flag, dass verhindert, das es verbraucht wird. Aber wo Du das im Trog BP findest, weiß ich nicht mehr. Ist ewig her. Und im Augenblick kann ich nicht modden, weil das Dev Kit auf einem anderen Rechner ist, wo ich nicht rankomme.

Ich hätte da mal eine Frage, ich bin grad selber dabei mir einen Futtertrog zu bauen mit dem devkit, ich bekomme das aber nicht hin das das Futter wieder gefüllt wird, ich hab Futter drin wenn ich den stelle aber der füllt sich da nicht mehr. Kannst Du mir da evtl mal sagen wo ich das einstellen muss das er das Futter auch wieder auffüllt?

"generates food" dose this mean you dont have to hunt food?

@grebog:
Also, Magmasaurs babies don't seem to get fed Ambergris from 10% and up https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Ambergris_(Genesis:_Part_1)

@grebog
This is understandable, and same for all feeding through mods. However, an ini-option would be nice so people could choose. Default can be the way it is today so you avoid complaints. Optional can be to insert "FeedingMachineRange=2.00000" in to ini-settings so those that want to can change it? :)
Grebog  [author] 30 Jul, 2021 @ 8:58am 
@Juggurt in the past the feeding trough blocks plants to regrow. because of complains in the past i removed the range setting.
Juggurt 28 Jul, 2021 @ 9:59am 
@sashahellsing:
I use this on my Wyverns, and can confirm it works on Wyverns from 10% and up

@Grebog:
Can we get support for juvenile to adolescent Magmasaurs to? :)

Also, a way to change range would be awesome. Rn I have to build 10-20 of these to cover each of my bases
sashahellsing 13 Jan, 2021 @ 2:02pm 
so it works on juvenile wyverns then ?
Grebog  [author] 13 Jan, 2021 @ 9:20am 
@sashahellsing it uses the feeding trough, but you (the player) do not have any access to the trough
sashahellsing 11 Jan, 2021 @ 10:01pm 
does this fill the feeding bin or does it feed the dinos dirrecly ?
PuellaDeVil 4 Jun, 2020 @ 10:48am 
so wie es aussieht, geht es auf "normalen" wege mit einstellungen nicht. kenne mich aber auch nicht so aus^^. und ist nicht schlimm, war ja auch nur eine frage :) muss ich halt 3-30 mehr stellen :steamhappy::steammocking: alles gut
Grebog  [author] 4 Jun, 2020 @ 10:40am 
@c4t0ri sorry, dass ich im moment nicht helfen kann, bin total im stress
PuellaDeVil 4 Jun, 2020 @ 10:12am 
hm, ok danke. muss ich mich mal schlau machen :)
Grebog  [author] 4 Jun, 2020 @ 10:02am 
@c4t0ri vielleicht kannst Du das einstellen, wie beim normalen Feeding Trough, ich habe es nicht implementiert. Kann aber sein, dass das vom Vanilla übernommen wird.
PuellaDeVil 4 Jun, 2020 @ 8:42am 
huhu, ist es möglich per ini eintrag die range zu ändern? wenn ja, was genau muss ich da eingeben? hab jetzt ein paar mal was versucht, aber bin zu *** dafür ^^
Dracoblades 1 Jun, 2020 @ 11:17am 
hello i have a big favor to ask you could you make a baby machine just like this one in this mode in the link im about to link please https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543394681&searchtext=FEEDING+

im asking as the mod meny of us use to assist with breeding has the silly green lines the baby machine still works fine but as you know the green lines get on ur nerves and there looks like there is no chance to guy coming back to fix it so im asking could you remake the baby mashine and add it to this mod please the heavy breeders in the game need your help please

I have a few questions about your mod Grebog. Does it also contain stone to feed rock golems? Can the feeding radius be changed for a larger area?
Grebog  [author] 8 Apr, 2020 @ 11:26pm 
@scubadivingmaui7 i don't know, there are hundreds of dino mods out there. But if the vanilla feeding trough is working, the feeding machine will be working too.
KonaManta 8 Apr, 2020 @ 8:07pm 
Does this work on modded creatures? I'm thinking Garuga's Archelon, which only eats biotoxin. Thanks for the great mod btw!
Blue Wolf 6 Apr, 2020 @ 6:11am 
Thank you Grebog
General Catastrophe 3 Apr, 2020 @ 12:22pm 
@Grebog, I hadn't played in a few days, played today and noticed no green circles everywhere! Thanks!
Aschran 31 Mar, 2020 @ 2:43pm 
Thnk you a lot for updating it! no more green circles \o/
ENCHANTED 31 Mar, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
Woot lol Thank you !
Grebog  [author] 31 Mar, 2020 @ 11:25am 
@all i have updated the mod to fix the range visual bug
Blue Wolf 31 Mar, 2020 @ 7:30am 
Hi Grebog, the person doing the Super Structures mod apparently managed to fix the bug with green circles around their feeding trough, which did the same as what is happening with the Feeding Machine. Maybe they have some info you can use.
Grebog  [author] 29 Mar, 2020 @ 10:05am 
@ENCHANTED thx for the nice feedback. i have made the mods for the same reason as you. i play on an own server with my wife and friends.
ENCHANTED 29 Mar, 2020 @ 8:53am 
Sorry I would have posted earlier about it being dedicated server I have just been stuck working to much and have not had time to log in till now. I am using alot of your mods all but durable items and random colors and love them all!
ENCHANTED 29 Mar, 2020 @ 8:41am 
Ok cool I can wait hehe it still feeds fine . I am a weekend warrior on my server so i can live with it :) I own my own server i built just to run all of Ark lol 24 threads 192 GB ram and a Dream of finishing it all one day lol like 4000 hours in at this point with cross travel to all official dlc and expansions and still breading rexs with Happy Family:)
Grebog  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 11:25am 
@all the last Ark update has a new feature to toggle a visible indicator for the feeding troughs range. But because this is not contained in the current dev kit, i have no idea, how to fix this. my feedning machine is based on the feeding trough... we have to wait for a dev kit update, sorry
Grebog  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 1:19am 
@sarcastic.chris thx, i will check it
General Catastrophe 26 Mar, 2020 @ 4:14pm 
@Grebog dedicated server.
Grebog  [author] 26 Mar, 2020 @ 12:45am 
@sarcastic.chris thx for feedback. is it on single player or on a server?
General Catastrophe 25 Mar, 2020 @ 11:58am 
@Grebog I made this short video to show you what @ENCHANTED is talking about. I am obviously experiencing the issue as well. The range indicator option doesn't affect the green circle. https://youtu.be/yikUDBdbuA0
Grebog  [author] 25 Mar, 2020 @ 12:42am 
@ENCHANTED you can toggle the range indicator with the radial menu. i have tested it without any issues
ENCHANTED 24 Mar, 2020 @ 7:11am 
Hello Grebog Im having an issue with the feeders. The feeders are working but after last update i now have a green circle showing the max range the ring is solid green it is not the range indicator pulse. What is best way to fix this? I have reinstalled on client and server and didnt seem to fix issue.
Aschran 9 Nov, 2019 @ 3:56am 
Hello, firstly, you mod is really good, its very excellent device for players that doesnt play everydays, thanks for making that mod.

But could we know how exactly this mod "generate" food with more precisions ?
because we have many different dinosaurs and from an creature that eat eggs, one that eat sulfur, others that eat mushroom, or only fish there a lot of choices.
How does it feed dinosaurs exactly ? does it creatre each kind of food in the feeding trhough and refresh them constantly? (if yes, which ones ? )
Does it generate 1 kind of food that all dinosaurs of the game can eat?
Does it doesnt generate anything but see directly the food stat of the dinosaurs at proximity ?

This is just in order to know the extent of the mod to be sure it can feed all actuals and futur dlc creatures,
Thank you for reading.
ENCHANTED 8 May, 2019 @ 10:41am 
@Gredog Can you check if feeder is feeding titanoboa (eggs) . It seems as if it is not feeding my tamed boa lol it took a bit to figure it out but it isnt feeding Snickers it just takes a long time for there food to go down. He has the feeding icon just dose not feed him. maybe they changed the egg id or something or maybe it is something on my end.
Grebog  [author] 28 Apr, 2019 @ 1:56am 
@Bacon Overlord® i mean the regular "feeding trough" of course. the feeding mechanics of my machine is the same as the vanilla trough. Are you feeding modded dinos? perhaps this is the issue.
Bacon Overlord® 28 Apr, 2019 @ 12:46am 
Thanks for the response. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it was feeding them when I wasn't watching or something, lol :)
Grebog  [author] 27 Apr, 2019 @ 10:51pm 
@bacon overlord, this is the regular feedmachine, but you do not need to fill it up. The food is generated automatically.
Bacon Overlord® 27 Apr, 2019 @ 8:30pm 
So, I'm a bit confused. It says "generates food"... as in creates it, correct? E.G. you set it up and it feeds your pets based on power instead of the need to put stacks of food in it?

It doesn't seem to be doing that though. At least not unless it waits until their food drops really low before it does something.
