Underwater animals are cold

[Owl1234]

Hi, my underwater animals are cold (am in Fall). I tried to add the above ground heater but it does not work. Where do I get a heater for them? Also, how does this work.. heat the whole ocean??

Are you putting the heater inside the underwater barn? If not, that's where it needs to go.

The underwater barn has some issues. The auto petter and the heater/cooler work if you put them inside. But I've had my animals get hung up on them from time to time and unable to leave the barn until the next day. Also the auto feeder and collectors don't work as of yet.

I did think it was weird that at the bottom of the ocean my animals were affected by temperatures at the surface, but they are.

I have posted a solution to the stuck Mermoo problem.

Hi, yes, I tried that but it did not let me. I'll try again. Thank you!

If you look at my screenshots here, this is the best position for heater & petter

Thank you. I had seen this screenshot with position for the petter and used it - works well and thanks for posting!

Glad it worked for you. I spent a long time finding the best place for the auto-petter. Most positions in the ocean barn caused the Mermoos to get stuck on a regular basis. It's very slightly different in the two screenshots. I find they both work 95% of the time. That's a huge improvement over the Mermoos getting stuck every few days.
