Animals are dying (skull swymbol) but there's no feces or anything

[Senyuki]

I have my animals dying all the time, but no idea what the problem is... they are eating leaves and fruit (nothing poisoness), they get water... i collect all the feces.... what's the problem?! I don't get it.

Do you have feeding trough? give them some variety of foods like bananas mushroom the white one's bulbs like deliscio monstario malanaga bulb and cassava bulb.?

[cnote1012]

mine kept dying too..its hard enough to feed myself let alone making sure pigs have a bunch of diff variety of foods to stay alive

[Jaunitta 🌸]

Are you guys giving clean water to the water trough?

[Senyuki]

Hey. Yeah, i tried the clean water (even this makes no sense, because in the wild they drink from the rivers and don't cook/cleanse their water)
I gave them fruits & leaves (from harvesting the palms/bananaleaves
and i cleaned their place twice a day
But they are poisoned after a few days and die... all the time. It's totally annoying and you can't go out or do anything else...

[Senyuki]

We are playing Coop... so i can't say anything about singleplayer... but we have no idea what the "problem" is, or if there is any bug/problem. I don't know... i've read that some poop was maybe under the floor (glitch) and maybe this caused the "problem"... i'll try another flat place... but i don't know if this really will help.

Its very difficult to get their stats as they run around. I managed to grab a screenshoit after taking like 20 lol
Are you able to see these?

[Senyuki]

Yes, i can see that. My animals had everything good, trust 100%, one was pregnant... and then they got poisoned after some days... (all of them, we tried it 4 times with 4 pairs)

[Jaunitta 🌸]

You say they are eating leaves how do you put that in the food trough? I cant. A circle appears for acceptable food but the leaves wont go in.
Since you see a skull possibly your animals are starving.
I think they drink way too much water
Could you take a screenshot and upload post here what the skull symbol is .
poisoning is a crossbone with skull.

You have to collect them and then you can put them in, but only fresh. (the Small Leaf Piles)

I read everything here https://greenhell.fandom.com/wiki/Animal_Husbandry

And then after some days they get sick (the skull symbol) and die. But i do everything what's written there.


From the Wiki:

"Animals can become sick when conditions in its living quarter are unhygienic. Regularly cleaning up all of the animal droppings from inside of the animal pen can prevent this from happening. If the animal does become sick, an icon will display above the animal. To bring the animal back to good health, the player will need to remove all droppings from the pen. After a short while the animals health will start to return to normal."


I searched everywhere. No droppings could be found in our pen...
So my animals never get health back and died...

I'll try that thankyou.
Edited.
small leaf pile green yep that works. Never thought to check Wiki lol.
I'm also playing a save from SOA 3 and right next to my base ( abandoned Village } near where the large ship is I have a pond of clean water.
So far all is good with 2.
Both tamed 100%

I'd wager to say that the poop clipping through terrain could likely be the major factor here.

Did you try the method where you have your backpack open and "scan" the area on the ground with your mouse so you can see if it picks up something? I do it all the time when trying to reach something a bit further away or at odd angles. Sometimes if I kill a bird and it falls into a large rock you can even use that trick to pick it out of there even though you yourself are unable to see through the rock itself.

People have had poop spawn under one of the troughs before.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

Another player had the same and it was pointing to over crowding.

When I give them the white lace mushrooms, they seem to get sick. Idk if that’s just me or not, but that’s all I’ve got.
