Suggestion: Auto-Feeder having two types of food

Postby xenxander » Mon Jan 04, 2016 4:26 pm

Much like the auto collector and how it can store two types of plorts, allow the auto-feeder to have two locations to place food, and have it dispense half from one, half from another, when it auto-feeds.

I think this would be nice, in storing additional food you otherwise have no place for, as well as giving your Largos BOTH of their favorite food :3

That's useless. Fully upgraded silos have all the storage that you'll ever need. And a lot of people have gardens producing all the same food because their Largos are all Hybrids with the same type of slime. So yeah, we don't really need it for now.

It would still be useful. Consider the upgrade potential too if largos suddenly require two types of food instead of just one 'or' the other.

I think it's a nice idea; it could help with the automation of cages, requiring less maintenance on less finicky slimes.

I think rather than two different types of food, it would be nice if the Auto-Feeder could be adjusted in some matter, how often he releases the food. Maybe three predefined settings, so that it can be changed for many slimes and just some slimes per "cage"?

Should just make the auto-feeder dispense exactly enough food for the slimes in the corrals. Instead of dispensing 6 food everytime the slimes are slightly hungry.

It really would be nice if the auto feeders were more dynamic. They depsense food even if the slimes are not hungry and that sucks because fruits and such rot over time. Yes it takes two days or something but still it happens and it wastes the food.

It should not dispense food if there is food in the cage already.
