Food Trays not getting filled?

[XclusiveMaca]

Anyone find that the food trays not getting filled up and showing empty? then animals go hungry?

You either don't have keepers assigned to the habitat in a work zone, or don't have a keeper hut closeby. Also, it takes a moment for them to get to the work order to fill the bowls.

I assure you, food filling is working properly.

yes i have been having the same problem has nothing to do with assigning keepers

[Natalayadark]

they will fill one then it gets all ate and others go hungry keepers do not fill enough feeders and proceed to kill enrichments over actually feeding the animals feeders

[Natalayadark]

shouldnt add animals who can have a high number and social if the keepers can not keep up with the feeding

This is incorrect. It is a known bug that there is an issue with pathfinding and keepers filling feeders. There are some workarounds you can try (try moving the food and water bowls around the habitat a few times, make sure you have one or even two keepers assigned to that habitat and nowhere else, make sure both a staff room and a keeper hut are extremely close by, etc) but none of these are a guaranteed fix and even after trying these, people are experiencing problems. I've seen it suggested to remove the enrichment feeders altogether, as keepers assume if those are full then the animal doesn't need their tray filled. I haven't had a lot of success in my game unless I have no enrichment feeders and assign two zookeepers to each exhibit, so that they never are tired and refuse to fill the trays. It's super obnoxious, but it's definitely a known bug. Sorry.

Got this issue in a campaign Mission. After several animals Dying of starvation, I found the source of this. All my staff Where stuck in a staircase together with visitors insider a preset huge building.

I did get one place to work with placing a hut up agenst the wall, but did only worked on that (max enclosure i can have without that fix is 2, and with it is max 3... But the dev says there aint a bug (a bug like that was fixed in beta)..... But i have a friend who played the beta and updatede the beta to release and she is not having that problem... so somthing is wrong :)

I also get this, the way I worked around this is not having any food enrichment items in my enclosure, then the staff seem to realise they need to feed the animals.

Also remember to assign your staff to that zone, I like to save each enclosure as its own work zone then I can easily see which staff member is tending to what

Remember you can also specifically tell certain zookeepers to only feed animals and do nothing else. Work zone + that seems to work for me. It's obnoxious that that has to be done but it works.

Does not work... still need to try the dont use food enrichment thing (not tryed yet)

I cant get them to fill any food. I have a keepers hut RIGHT next to my exhibit. I have a work zone that is literally only the area around the exhibit with the exhibit itself and the keepers hut. I have 4 keepers assigned and 3 of them are ONLY assigned to feeding and they havent been feeding at all

[NullingBird]

food enrichment thing dident work :(
