Drones and Auto-Feeders Bug
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2018 12:42 pm
It appears that some part of the updating when returning to a zone is screwing up occasionally.
Specifically, I've noticed that some auto feeders will stop feeding entirely upon re-entering, as though they've run out since I was last there. Removing and adding in the food item (in this case, cactus fruits), resumes the feeding. It got to be a larger and weirder problem when the backlog was too large for a single vac-tube, as I had to pile the excess food on the ground to 'reset' the auto feeder.
Whatever the reason, despite seemingly being the same behavior as before, a-la moving food from a farm to an auto-feeder and then moving on, slimes are becoming unhappy when this process is carried out by drones.
All I can conclude is that drones and auto-feeders are min-interacting in some weird way.
