What is my Wombat eating?

[software.goddess]

I have 2 wombats in a good sized pen. Nether of them are eating the animal food that my silo puts out. I check the book and it shows that they have eaten, but the dish is still full. Their food dishes are NEVER empty. I even tried moving them and refilling them. My pleeps are eating their food, and so are my chickens. Are the wombats eating the overgrown grass in their pen??? I did find some random grass seeds to pick up in the pen on at least 2 occasions.

the vombats will eat grass and animal food

you are not doing anything wrong and it is clear the vombats have all needs met.

Oh, thank you so much. I was worried I had a corrupted save.

You've actually stumbled on to a hidden trait on the game.

Put in a sprinkler within range of a water tower and you'll never need to manually feed your wombats again. Sprinklers on grass that hasn't been mowed created grass tufts daily that wombats happily eat.

I have 4 Wombats in an enclosure with 4 shelters, but sometimes they don't sleep in the shelters. Is this is a bug? How will this affect the Wombats? Last time I check, 2 were asleep in the shelters and 2 asleep on the bare earth.

Hello Jase,

sometimes the animals don't register the shelters - so i pick the shelter up and place it down again. This usually works. You can look in your journal under the animals tab and see the list of all your farm animals (saddled mus and doggos) if you click on the name of the animal it will show more details - like if they have been patted, fed and have shelter.

Many thanks; I always forget about the journal pages.

I put a collar on a Dingo, but now it's vanished completely, is there a way to track it? Does the collar have a GPS transponder?

Is the dog still listed in the animal tab?

Jase, 100% Recycled Awesome is right, check your journal to see if your doggo is still there.

Doggos can be killed by agro mobs
They also prone to wonder and can swim, as they will hunt for food too.

You can use the whistle emote see if your doggo will come to you as you walk around the map.

If your doggo is not in your journal then I am sorry to say that you will need to make a search party for the dog collar

Good luck

If you place a dog house in your town, your dog should return there at night.

A have a dog house in the town and the dog appears in the book, but it hasn't come back. Thanks I'll try the whistling. Maybe it fell in love with a Kangaroo and opened a bottle brush farm.
