s+ Nanny?
Okay, so I got 2 beehives which isn't a problem to power her up with it instead of tek generator now, my question is how long does 1 honey last in her? As It takes 45minutes to get 1 honey, which means 2honey per 45minutes since I got 2, but how long does it take for 1 to be used? Since it expires in 20minutes ( in my friends server )

P.S my Ovis just died when I was afk, the nanny had berries in her and meat, my carnivore didn't have any meat on him, and still alive?

nanny only does imprinting.

btw if you are going to be off for hours and are worried about having the food last long enough. put cooked fish meat in the feeding.cooked fish meat lasts like 5 or 6x longer than regular cooked meat.

6hours in game or 6hours our time? As 6hours our time would be perfect..

RL hours, depending on the serversetting 15 ingame mins would result in merely seconds to react!

Thanks! but the real question is.. does berries / ,meat have to be in the inventory of the nanny? as my first ovis baby died when I was afk as I stated ^, but my carno survived..

Put food in nanny inventory to feed babies.

I don't trust this, so I also put food on babies and regularly render them till they reach juvenile stage and eat from the trough.

I guess... Well this is going to be annoying, as I did an allo just to test it out with the ovis, allo is still fine, no food in the inventory except in nanny, I just wanted to make sure so I don't have to wake up every freaking 3-4hours to feed gigas when I breed them, I got 5eggs ready at 1% but don't want to stay awake for a whole day or 18hours so they get to juvinille state, you know? I mean I breed rexs as soon as I go in the game and check on them every 4hours ( i stay with them the first hour and 30mins ) so the inventory goes to a decent amount to hold meat.

Will keep that in mind man, the server is in the ragnarok map, I'm exactly by 2 lakes in the redwoods ( very close to the wyvern place ) so I'll cook a bunch and put them in there, I got 3 through, so I'll fill 2 with cooked meat and the other one with berries since I got more carnos than herb

Well Mr. Necromancer, let me explain. there was a time (a long long time ago) where the S+ Nanny didn't worked correctly while being in Stasis.

Well thats the peril in commenting of threads 2 years old :-P. There have been a number of patches to the nanny between then and now to address the issues.

But at the time that this thread was made, there were known issues with the nanny being inconsistent.

Throughout 2019 there were several different versions of the nanny released to try to address the problems in different ways... Before finally settling on just moving food into the inventory directly.

So the S+ Nanny now works correctly, and gives food to the babies?
