it was not intended to work, but, is good news! I can't like put official tag on it, because then if there is any compatibility issues, I would need to fix... But if is ok for you, is good news!

The animal feeders need to be placed inside the pens... Your barn need to be outside the pen, otherwise, the animals will take the food from the barn instead the feeder...

About corpses, I was arguing with myself if I should add them, because like, in my mind, you will always put them into the pen... But I will change that, to allow...

About your setup... If you just put your barn stockpile (that is outside of the pen) as Low, Normal or Prefered priority, it will work fine... If you put Important or Critical, it won't take from the barn to the feeder...

To make it work as you want, not as a stockpile, but as a kind of production, it would require much more effort and workarounds... And it just work as it is... Isn't pretty, but works...

I will make another version of the mod that:
* Allows corpses;
* Have the option to allways receive food (To work as a sockpile, for cosmetic purposes);
* Have the option to specify the animal food consumption manually; So it won't turn on and off no animal amount fluctuation;

So given your instructions in the description, will this mod have any issue if the Animal Feeder is placed logically in the Barn (less chance of the fence breaking because of combat of mental breaks so the area is always enclosed).

Does it conflict with other food storage that is already priority Important on the map. Are corpses handled for animals that eat corpses. This may be important since Allowed Corpses on the map can go to butchering or to the manger for Pigs etc but require cold storage or they will quickly rot. Ideally they should just be turned into Kibble if they are not useful for anything else. Something I found yesterday but never noticed before, prisoners with prison labor mod ignore Allowed and will just take them and butcher them.

Like I will need to test it and see if it will work with all other prioritized Food storage on the map. It is so so hard to get Pawns to haul Food and Corpses (for pigs) to any storage in the pen for pen animals to eat

Example (with many mods active)

Kitchen has linked fridges and cold storage right next to butchering station and cooking station (this is not ideal since unsanitary but I work with it)
Storage, pen animal food for tamers
Cold storage, holds everything except pen animal food
Pen manger or barn, holds pen animal food after created at butchering table.

@LZIM, I didn't understand what you mean...

Like...
The inventory setup is hard to understand?
Just make an storage, outside the pen...
Make this stora accept same food as the pen...
Leave the priority os this storage lower than important...
Pawns will haul things in and out of the pen feeders as needed.

If you mean is hard accomplish this, unfortunately, I that's the actual intention of the mod...

If you mean other things outside that, then, my bad, I can't understand what you mean...

possible feedback on this feeder, if it is that hard-coded it will take some time for users to integrate it along with other methods of feeding pen animals.
