Do I have to feed 3 animals or species?

[quetzaquotl]

I feeded 6 or more animals but the game only counted 1. Now I watched a lets play and the guy just feeded 3 of the same species and the game counted 3.
Is it a bug and my save is doomed? I am running around like an idiot looking for other species but they are either hostile or not interested…

I think distance from tree was a factor. Also, some critters like different foods. You can scope them to see what they eat.

Where do I find this information? In the Shimudex is no information about there preferences.

Use you special vision tool and look at the animal. If you did the side quest to become a hunter which rewards a bow, spear and sword you should know what I am referring to.

ok, I do know, thx.
But the guy on YT fedded thre identical animals near to another, so I supposed it is a bug.
I was looking forward for this game so much, now it seems to be wasted time and money.

May be I will come back in 6 months...

Don't those quests sometimes name a specific animal, though?

No

You have to feed them in the proper radius of the collosal tree's ecosystem, not just any creature anywhere. The temperate biome effect of the tree is much larger than the radius of the tree ecosystem itself.

You'll know you are in an area that counts for feeding animals if you look in the lower right corner of the UI. You need it to show both the temperate biome icon AND the little sprouting seed icon (which is the ecosystem icon as explained by the game).

If only the temperate biome icon is lit up, then it won't count for the feeding creature goal.

They need to be in the radius of the tree ecosystem, the developers are already going to patch this and remove the requirement that the players and the animal needs to be in the radius of the ecosystem next patch.

thx @ both! I never noticed the icons, I will pay attantion. I am pretty sure I feeded the creatures near the tree, hearts popped up and the howeveritiscalled-meter at top right filled a bit.
A patch is live, I will test it when installed.

[quetzaquotl]

the patch worked, thx again.
