Year 3, no hearts on any animals HELP!!!!!! :C

[Towel]

I'm in year 3 of SDV and I have had every animal for at least 2 of the years now, and have not gained a single hear, they have heaters are fed properly and daily, grown grass outside and pet them every single day, but i have not gained a single heart on any of them, is this a bug? what should I do more, IVE DONE EVERYTHING ;-; please helppppp :c

You need to right click on them every day to get hearts.

[Towel]

I said up there... i pet them every day. thats what that does...... a right click means you've "pet" them.

[Vroomi]

Must be a bug then.

[Towel]

oh, i also open their doors in the morning and close at night,, so you all think this is a bug? :/

[ffets]

Sounds like a bug. If you right click them once (pet) they show a heart above their head. If you right click them twice, there appears a window telling you how the animal feels (except for your dog/cat). There are 0-5 hearts displayed and a text saying "<name> looks sad" or "<name> looks fine". Your animals won't show up in the table with the persons.

i already said. i pet them daily. and it always says they look fine, or they look happy. but hearts never increase

Just making sure, that you checked at the right place. Might have been possible, that you expected them to appear among the persons. The hearts are black (empty) when zero and become red (full) after a while. If they don't it's probably a bug. You should report it then.

I know you already said they are properly fed, but does that mean the food is actually in the trough for them to eat?

[Towel]

..... Yes.. im year 3 in this. also at this point i have the barn and coop fully upgraded so they have the auto feed systems and i check the sylo every day to assure its more than full. and even though i have the auto feed system chech each day to make sure its working inside the barn/coop.

Ok, 2nd silly question. Are you sure they have no hearts instead of full hearts?

What does it say when you click them? Are they happy?

[Towel]

they are happy and the hearts are empty! no more stupid questions please, hearts are empty not pink/red.

[Towel]

thats why i am asking for help. it says they are happy but the hearts are empty

What time at night do you close them? Not sure it matters. I honestly have stopped paying attention to the hearts. So I miss little deductions for things wrong. I get consistent produce everyday.

But I did notice once I started closing the barn doors AS SOON AS THEY GO IN, which seems to finish at about 6 pm, that my goat gave milk much more often. I am aware that the goat gets sad when the door isn't closed, and I always thought if I did it right before bed, no matter how late, it wouldn't matter. Once I changed it to right at 6, i noticed a difference in production yield. But only with one animal, so not really sufficient proof. Coulda been coincidence or bias.

Again, pure theory, no practice or proof. Very likely it could just be a bug, but ya never know. Good luck.

i do it right as they go inside once theyre all in i close the doors.

[Towel]

It always says "their Fine" or "their Happy" but nothing.
