If your pigs or donkeys don't get fed at all, it means you do not have a worker assigned to the building i guess?
Only my chickens get fed, until their trough is 100% and the donkeys have literally NEVER been fed, unless I do it manually. It all goes to the chickens, but I'm only guessing as to why. Other players aren't having this issue?
What happens if you make the animal feed yourself in a larger quantity so there's a surplus of it - enough for all animals - and then put it in the resource storage?
So y, I think once you make enough one-time to fill all of the troughs completely, your problem will be solved. Cause from then on your production will be able to keep up.
Actually, it's quite simple.
All troughs are filled up to 100% by your animal breeders. Once they are filled up, the animal breeders always add what has been consumed during the day.
They do this for ALL animals, but there is a specific order as to which type of animal is fed first and which last.
In general, you just have to make sure that each animal building, after it has been built, is filled up to 100%. You do not have to do this yourself, it is enough to have a sufficient amount of food in your stock.
Please note that each individual stable (depending on the type) can hold up to 50 units of animal feed until it is 100% full. Only goose house and chicken house have less than that (about 30 if I remember correctly).
Assuming you have a sheep pen, a pig pen, a cow pen, a horse pen and a chicken pen, you would need 230 units of animal feed for the initial filling. After that, you only need as much as the animals consume per day. Simple as that.
TLDR: you have not enough food for initial filling.
I honestly don't see an issue with producing 50 animal foot extra just one single time when you built a new stable. How many of them did you plan to build so that this becomes a problem?
It's just more than I've been able to produce so far. Oats and flax need to be planted in the same season, and I seem to need huge quantities of both. I guess I'll get there eventually, but it seems strange to me that I have to fill all the troughs to 100% just to have enough.
With my barn workers producing feed, they periodically add one to storage. If the chickens are at 97% they always get that 1 feed to top off, even as other livestock troughs keep getting lower and lower. It's not a reasonable system.
If your gaming preference is to have animal husbandry as your primary focus, consider purchasing needed grains from a Vendor and tending to the animals yourself. (iirc) if you choose this strategy, you don't have to hire NPCs for animal husbandry because you can make it a full-time part of your daily choirs to feed and gather the animal's resources.
p.s. I like the mechanics of the game for livestock, just as it stands, except for them getting stuck in the doorway.
I strongly recommend not to do this.
You will never be able to get anywhere near the amount of animal products compared to automatic production (by the NPCs) if you collect them yourself. An NPC working in a stable will always gain way more resources from the stables than you ever could with your own labour.
So please - don't do that, and also don't spread that around as a possible alternative, to NPC-based farming. Unless you don't want livestock farming to become a profitable part of your village economy.
My suggestion is intended for the difficulty the OP is experiencing at the moment. It's an alternative idea. We all learn best from our own experiences. You can have direction of the thread from here. :D
