What can I put in the animal feeders so they auto feed themselves?
I tamed a bunch of beak things like 10 of them but they are all starving and they won't eat anything I put in the feeder I have to manually feed each of them. What can I put in there so they eat?

New to game only been playing for a few days. Sorry for noobness.

I don't know why they wont eat from the feeder, but you can buy lunchbags from bartenders which can be equipped on your animals and then filled with food.

These discussions really don't notify about messages very well. Sorry bout the delay.

I have no idea whats going on, beak things are working perfectly well for me. It eats dried meat from other's bags as well as it's own.
Make sure your beak thing is in the same squad as whoever you want it to eat from if that doesn't help then try saving your game and loading it. This usually fixes most of the issues that can occur in this game.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hey petrus, the mod is really good thx for doing it.

But im also having the same issue, i have a landbat a beakthing and a black gorillo, they do eat from animal fedder doesn't matter what i put in it BUT every 15 to 30 minutes they will simply not eat anymore even if u bring them right next to the feeders, the only way i found to make it work is that i quick save and quick load so their AI resets, after that they will go eat from the feeder right away for at least 30 minutes, but then i have to quick load again wich is starting to be anoying.

thx for ur time man i hope its something that can be easily fixed .

If I got it correctly the mod author has said you need to feed them with lunch bags that you get at most bars not animal feeders, hope this helps some of you!

my beak thing wont eat dried or raw meat any suggestions?

I imagine you can place food on ground and they should eat and maybe trough?

Holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ thank you, my beak thing started to randomly eat a crab corpse out of no where and stopped itself from starving!

I've also begun to notice that the lunch bags cannot be equipped on beak things anymore, or at the least, they cannot be equipped onto any of my actual Beak things. It allows me to put it on the Great white gorillo from the sort of boss fight area. But not any of the beak things.

I've also realized that after trying to, doing something shortly after causes the game to crash... idk what is causing any of this anymore. Love the mod, but its getting so bad I might just ditch it, butcher the animals I cannot seem to handle, and rely on other means of enjoying something similar.
