Gacha not picking up pellets
In SP my gachas will not pick up pellets dropped by owls close by. They only pick up what I drop. Trying to get it to collect the pellets for me. Any way to fix this?

Yes, make sure there not sad, aka make sure you mate boosted pairs are atleast 12 foundations appart.

They are. 2 gachas, both happy, 9 owls making pellets. They dont pick up anything I dont drop. And I tried putting them on wander with a dino leash.

In that case im not sure, if there sad they will refuse to pick-up anything, maybe try to stick them in a cryopod and then release them again ? Or perhaps upload/download them ?

If there picking up things you drop, id say they should just pickup pellets aswell.

Im starting to think its a SP thing or a bug.

Did you try a cryo-pod, or uploading/downloading, normally when something like this is bugged on SP there would be quite a few topics about similar issues.

Tried cryopod. Nothing. upload/download is basically the same thing. But don't want to try upload/download becuase I don't want to risk a 200%+ crafting skill gacha as it may disappear with the bug.

have the same problem. and sometimes the pellets drops under the gruond somehow. It's really annoying since the base is build around ''gacha-towers''

It may be a thing when gachas are on structures/ceilings. I got my gacha to pick up the pellets but they have to be centered directly over where they drop. Directly under its belly. Took some time to set it up correctly. They should be able to pick them up when they are right in front of there face. But they don't. It's clearly bugged. I can drop something in front of it and it picks it up just fine.

For pellets droping through the floor I set up two pillars and another set of ceilings just above where the pellets drop. They will rarely pass through 2 ceilings. It's odd and ugly having ceilings in the middle of my floor but its functional.

ANSWER: If you have MORE THAN 2x Gotcha (Pair/Mate Boosted) out and near each other (within 12 spaces)...they are not happy and won't collect or produce.

Not only are you a necromancer, but you are also wrong. While what you said does happen, that wasn't the case. It was bugged, probably still is knowing wildcard.
