Keepers don't fill feeders

[_lucaorlandi_]

hi guys. In my Zoo keeperes don't fill feders of 1 habitat, if i call them they only enter and exit. Could you help me?
(in other habitats they go without problems)
Thanks

First, keepers won't fill feeders if no animal is hungry. Even if there is no food. You don't actually mention if any animals are hungry, so I thought that was worth mentioning. Food does spoil over time, which is the reason they don't bring food just for the sake of having food there.

If animals are hungry, this could be due to a number of different things.

it could be that there is food already in the habitat which the animals cannot access. Keepers will not feed animals if there is any food already there. It could also be that the keepers themselves cannot access feeders...though less likely, as the game generally warns you when this is the case.

It could also be that something is glitching related to that habitat.

To check the first two things, open the heat maps and select the habitat traverseability, first for keepers and then for animals. Select each feeder to see if any has food. It's worth slightly moving each feeder as well, just to be sure.

To try to address the last thing, just adjust the gate or a piece of barrier to sort of "reset" the habitat. You can just make an adjustment and then set it back to be the same.

yes animals are hungry, but keepers dont fill the feeder which is empty

You might have to delete the barriers to remake the habitat or hire a new keeper. Old annoying bug.

The other thing maybe that there is a pile of old food rotting somewhere that the keepers can't access, which has been thrown in by Educators at an animal talk point. That happened to me once and had to adjust what was blocking the keeper getting to it.

yes there is some food which is floating in the habitat, how to adjust?

Check the keeper traversable area and see if the keeper can get to it. If not move something close to it that will open it up for the keeper to collect the rotten food. Also highlight the habitat or the animal and call for the keeper to come urgently once you have checked it traversability and the keeper can access it.
