Autofeeder suddenly stopped working...

[Its All Zen]

So I usually keep a couple barns of pigs and I've never had this problem before... however... both my coop and barn suddenly stopped autofeeding. Now this happened when I decided to build a new barn for my kegs. Up until I went to Robin everything was kosher with my autofeeders and the immediate day after she starts the new barn both the coop and barn stop autofeeding. Yes I have hay in my silo etc etc. I manually filled the slots hoping that once the barn is done this won't be an issue. Another thing I noticed is that when I went to Marnie and tried to buy another goat (I only have 10) every animal option was greyed out for the barn like it wouldn't even recognize that I had a barn at all. Is there some kinda buggy thing going on once you start a new building that's making the game not recognize your current buildings at all? I'm stumped on why this new barn that's under construction seems to be wreaking havok on my current buildings.

I don't know what's happeneing with your autofeeder but I know that you are only allowed a certain number of animals in your barn, Maybe you have the maximum number?

[dino_inc]

Are your barns full? There's something about the autofeeder not working if the barn isn't full, because it counts 4 hay as being full, or something like that.

I noticed the autofeeder stops working if you dont close the doors of barns/coops before sleep. If I wake up next day and forgot the doors, animals are out and feeder didnt replenish the benches. If I close doors every night with animals inside, autofeeder works all the time. Just my 2 cents.

I do know that if you have a barn under construction you can't put new animals in it, same for a coop.

When you start a new building-barn at least-the autofeeder stops working. This happened to me twice now as it started raining while I was building keg barns/upgrades. It seems there's an issue with buildings-barns anyway-in that when you're building one it somehow affects existing structures. I didn't have this problem before 1.1. All my mods are up to date and the only one I have that affects the autofeeding system is CJB Cheats or w/e but I always keep the options off for the buildings. Literally the only reason I use Cheats mod is to rid myself of friendship decay and freeze time in buildings so it's more like HM as far as not having to worry when I'm dealing with animals or whatever. I've triple checked+ and all the autofeeder/infinite hay/etc options are turned off on the mod so it shouldn't be affecting it at all.

check your silos. you might have run out of hay

My silos are always full. I also have something like 10k hay in chests waiting to go into the silos. I fill them at the beginning of every season. Also once the barns are done the autofeeder immediately starts working again-I left the slots open to verify last time. It's strange.

I ran into this issue, in both the DB and DC. Woke up on the 1st of Fall year 2 and the troughs were half empty (I only have a handful of animals in each), I refilled them and they've been working fine ever since.
I've had deluxes since fall (Coop) and winter (Barn) year 1, and its only done it the once so far.

This started happening after I started going to bed early (sometimes 1pm). Maybe it's related?
