craft until you die mod

[kekstar]

anybody been playing this mod i am having bother with feeding the farm animals.it says put pitchfork and food in inventory to feed animals.i've tried everything but nothing happens.any help would be great.i'm really enjoying this mod but this has stopped my progress.

I am playing the mod, but I never bothered with farm animals so I can't help with that.

Have you tried equipping the pitchfork and right-clicking on the animal pen? Just a guess, but it's how some things work in some mods.

[kekstar]

yeah i tried that but it just attacks like a melle weapon.you need the farm animals for trader quests later so i cant do them.it made me give up and move on.sad cause i was enjoying it.i will go back later maybe there will be an update to fix it.thanks for the reply.

I'm on day 238 of my playthrough and I have never needed the farm animals for trader quests or any other reason. So if that exists now, you're playing a newer version of the mod than I am (I started playing a couple of months ago).

Another vague suggestion - have the feed in your hand and the pitchfork in your inventory and right-click on the pen.

I was going to farm sheep to make wool and then woven material, but I couldn't find a sheep to buy and I found more than enough woven material while scavenging. So animal farming was irrelevant in my playthrough.

yeah maybe a newer version if you follow the quests you get after they tell you to build a sheep pen you go talk to the trader and he gives you new jobs.but it involves milk ,chickens etc. and if you cant breed them you cant get the stuff.i was enjoying building a big garden and farm but this has held me back.the mod is great though.

and rekt sells all the animals by the way but i cant feed them to produce stuff so frustrating

Didnt triy this mod yet, but maybe works like other overhauls i played, maybe pens have their own inventory and you might put the pitchfork inside as an upgrade, and the animal food too, wait x time and the animals will give you the reward.

its not showing an inventory theres a beehive and that has an inventory but the other animals dont.been trying everything and cant seem to find a way.

I decided to try a quick look at a German language forum on this mod, armed with nothing more than free machine translation and some optimism

First I used the free machine translation to find out what 'pitchfork' is in German. 'gabel', apparently. Then I searched the German language forum for 'gabel'. 1 hit. Here's the free machine translation to English of the relevant post:

One more question. How to place the bird food in the birdhouse? It's hot with a pitchfork? But that is not possible.

There is an extra pitchfork for farming, take it in your hand and then right-click on the birdhouse - you must have the birdseed in your backpack

Which led me to think of something...are there 2 pitchforks in CUYD? A melee weapon and a farming tool?

At some point, when my work schedule allows me the time, I'll go back into the game, buy a couple of animals, make a couple of pens and see if I can get it to work. Unless you beat me to it and tell me how to get it to work. Because now I'm curious about it.

ok i need to take a look at that i started a new playthrough on 1.2 because i was on 1.3 thinking that might be the problem.i will look into that and get back to you there must be a way.thanks again.

[kekstar]

by the way the birdhouse is the same you should try that you dont need to buy any animals then.

[kekstar]

you were right there are 2 pitchforks i never noticed this maybe they should have used a different name like farming tool for it.i deleted a lot of progress and started again because of this.but i don't mind the mod is great and i won't make the mistakes i made first time.thanks for the help guys.

It might be a translation issue. You've probably noticed some flaws in the translation to English. I think that German uses compound words for pitchforks used for different purposes, e.g. 'mistgabel' is a pitchfork used for moving manure whereas 'heugabel' is a pitchfork used for moving hay. But English doesn't use compound words for pitchforks used for different purposes, so all of them would translate to 'pitchfork' in English.

yeah just glad it's working. now i can progress in the mod and enjoy everything it's got.thanks again.
