Infinite feeding through range

Auto Trough mod is what I use. Has GameUserSetting.ini configurable settings to specify the feeding range from the trough. Though I don't think it's possible to cover the entire map with one trough, it does cover the largest of bases I've made and it's always easy to craft more should you need further coverage.

The question its about to feeding every tamed dino on the map without energy, since My base its quite big and i have two on the south, so it will be better just droping meat and berries on only one trough and continue doing work

I run a little server for myself and a couple friends out of my house and I have noticed that animals at my other bases dont really require being fed when im not around. I dont know if its a glitch or not but I have a stego I left in viking bay on ragnarok and havnt fed him in probably a hundred in game days but when I swing through that area every so often on my way to get oil he is still doing just fine. I know this doesnt address your question but maybe it isnt necessary to feed everything all over the map if noone is around the other animals for a while.

You can do it with the S+ Feeding Though (Configurable range in GUS.ini)... but what your trying here is absolutely not recommended regarding the servers performance.

Better reduce the food consumption of the dinos to a value where you never again have to feed it.
Thats the best solution for the server performance.

The Auto Trough Mod does not require you to put meat and berries in it. The Trough's are auto filling and never empty. So you can place them at your bases and forget about them and they'll feed your dinos quite happily forever.

It would be nice if someone could make a "quantum feeding trough" where building one feeding trough creates a shared inventory so all quantum feeding troughs made and placed by a person/tribe shares the same inventory, making it so filling one trough shares with the rest. Think of it like an ender chest from minecraft, only its feeding your dinos. Only problems i see are the inventory might lag or this kind of trough will empty quickly with large numbers of creatures eating from it.

personally feel this wold be a bit overpowered and lazy.

Divide your bases into sections and just load up the trough in each second. It doesnt take long to do, and dinos dont eat THAT fast where you will spend moer time loading troughs then anything else.

Will be quite good, like i'll drop every meat and fish i have there and all in range eat

How's OP just having to restock one feeding through and not 12?

Agree with suggestion to just lower dino food consumption.

Its not a glitch , its called stasis which you can also use to breed dinos as well . While in stasis the dinos eat alot less . I have seen tribes dinos that quit the game last for months before on official servers before it was eventually eaten by a player

I thought they fixed stasis so that the game calculates food consumption correctly when you bring the dinos out of stasis? It was the same patch where they fixed water breeding exploit.
