Pal Food? only red berries?

[EvilZombie]

i drop tons of cooked berries they never eat but i seen them eating honey

The eat the first thing on the left. Also the feed box seems to be the priority storage so I fill all the slots with cotton candy so they bring the food to the cooler instead.

Do they eat from the cooler as well?

Alright so then I won't bother with it.

Atm I have 2 chickens in ranch and they produce enough to feed my pals with a lot to spare.

You will want the cooler later, set one of those penguin pals on it to keep it cool

Higher level foods fill more of the hunger bar, (some pals have hunger bars in the 500 and 600s) they provide sanity boosts and the uncommon and rare dishes provide buffs. I'm always murdering every chicken I see as they provide both the eggs and meat for a rare dish that both makes their hunger drain slower AND makes them work faster!

As for the cooler, it slows down the decay times for the food, which when you put a ton of resources into it, it helps save said resources. One tip though is that food that has been made but is still on the workbench DOESN'T expire!

I don't bother with that, 1 ranch with 3 chickens has been more then enough so far.

If it comes to a point where they are eating more eggs then the chickens produce then I'll look into something else.

As it stands I don't want to have to come back to my base just to cook.

You can leave the berries in the far right slot of the food bowl to act as a back up or emergency stash

Are you putting it in the pal food bowl? You should also make sure it's the first item in the row.

Problem with berries it requires 3 skills to operate.

- Growing
- Watering
- Gather

Chicken rank needs 2
- Farm
- Transport

Gathering is an extremely common skill you rarely ever need to specifically select for, and pals with the seeding ability can still do other tasks, same with ones that have the watering ability. A penguin will water the crops and then spend the rest of its day doing transportation for the ranch or help build things.

Normally I'd agree but atm the AI is dumb and we have no real way to prioritise tasks.
The same Pals that have those skills often have many other skills causing them to frit back and fourth instead of doing the jobs proper.

They lay their egg and eat their own how cruel you are i like it ... farming took too much space

Items such as Cakes, required for breeding and tend to cost a decent chunk, alongside having a 20m timer normally.
