Thanks for letting me know. And the update seemed to fix the invisible on load issue in single player. Thanks for that also :steamhappy:

Yes, Wyverns technically dont need milk - they want milk since its the only thing that increase their food. This through gives all creatures food regardless of their setting.

Other then the invisibleness issue on single player, this mod works great. Set it and forget it. One question I do have though is does using this bypass the need for wyvern milk?

@prome Thanks for the explanation and update. Much appreciated! I have not done modding but am curious about it. Can you let me know which folder from sourcefiles listing is for this mod? I didn't see it unless I am missing something obvious. :)

@mpoffo
Yes it'll work on anything you throw at it. Technically this is not a feeding through, its a storagestrucutre(with no inventory) that casts to all primaldinos in its range. In theory, the range can be how big as you want, but setting it to ridiculous numbers will slow down the server, especially if there are alot of these feeding throughs placed. Yes, the radiusnumber is entered in foundations, standard setting is 50 foundations radius.

Discontinued in my case means it wont get any further developement and is opensource for anyone to grab to make their own variant. Granted, bugs will be fixed though.

also why is the word "Discontinued" in the mod name? Will it not be update? ;)

Hi prome, I would like to possibly add this to my cluster to replace auto trough. I appreciate you adding this mod. Will it work on all dinos? What is the max range for the radius? Does the radius number reflect the number of foundations?

Just a heads up to all, don't let your wandering animals(or yourself) climb on top of this when enabled, it causes small but constant damage and could quickly kill things like snails or dung beetles.

Yes, I had a look yesterday and it'll go invisible after a restart on singleplayer. I never test anything in singleplayer, only on dedicated, will look into it as soon as possible.

It does disappear when loading the game again, but the trough is still there, just invisible. Just pick it up and put it back down again.

der Futtertrog ist beim nächsten Spielstart nicht mehr da. Er verschwindet einfach.

very good,i like it

As far as I can tell, it works.
No green ring, massive range, and keeps dinos food up.

Only issue is that there is no feeding trough icon over the Dinosaurs heads, so you can't really tell if they are in range.
The dinosaurs also have no eating animation. Their hunger just slowly goes up.

it's working and no green box :) but no sign of feeding on dinos.

Hi, not a big deal but this morning the box disappear & I still have access for the commands.
