SquirrelTeeth Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 How does this thing work? I built one and I've got nothing but questions. It said it needs to be built "above" a body of water, but it didn't say how far. I originally had it completely above the water line (as in, the water was two tiles lower than the bottom) and I didn't see it do anything and my fish were always hungry so it looked like they weren't being fed. I've increased the water in the tank to bring the level up, but the fish are still not eating. The description says it feeds once per day, but when? And does it drop the algae ball into the tank or do the fish have to swim up and eat it? Do they even need to be fed? Does feeding Pacu do anything for egg production? Can a pacu be tamed to see it's reproduction rate? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/110778-fish-feeder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafara Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 you have to enclose fish feeder inside a pet STABLE. Pacu will eat it directly from spoon. granting fed status which -55% wildness/cycle. Tamed pacu give greatly increase Egg production from 5% >> 25%,but if it's feel cramped Egg production reduce to 0% Wild pacu don't need to be fed, it ALWAYS lay egg at 20 cycle ages. its initial calory is enough for pacu to grow old and die at 25 cycle ages. and cramped status have no effect on wild pacu. if you have 64 wild pacu in a pool, it will always produce 64 kg of egg shell and 64 kg of pacu fillet every 25 cycles. total number of pacu in that pool won't increasing nor decreasing. feeding algae to pacu is totally waste. unless you have few pacu to start with and want to increase total number of pacu in pacu pool. by feeding 1 pacu in a specific pacu breeding stable , then deliver fresh egg back to pacu pool.

SquirrelTeeth Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I have access to plenty of algae still, and the feeder was fulled loaded; 200 kg in the storage and 20 kg on the spoon. I'm going make a small stable pool to increase by pacu count. Maybe get extra some surf and turf. Now I wonder how to tame Pufts for continuous slime to algae production to continuously feed the tamed pacu. But there's still a lot on the map, so that's a long way off. Although, one more question comes to mind: if pacu can survive in both water and polluted water, what other liquids can be used? Salt water? Crude oil? I'm thinking that if I maintain a pool of crude oil between 60 and 80 C, pacu would be able to survive (and gradually convert to tropical fry) and it would be warm enough not to increase the chance of longhair slicksters.

Yes, i have compared to my fish-pool and i noticed now on your screenshot a full feeder is shown. And it is not possible to just select one type of fish, so this is also no reason why your fish don't react. My Fish-Pool: Spoiler The fish swim up to the feeder once a day. Have you checked pathfinding of one fish? Maybe they are bugged and stuck? Spoiler And as i know fish survive in almost all liquids.

Lafara Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 pacu can flopping on floor its whole life. it just don't lay egg before its life reach 25. but it will always flopping to the direction of nearest liquid pool ... just 1 direction. enclose puff in a pet STABLE, rancher dupe will call puff down to groom.

Steve8 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Tame Pacu have an insane reproduction rate. But they also have an insane hunger. Your algae will be gone soon. But it's possible to starve them with the simple use of a timer and they will still reproduce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2haVdsaqTg0 That contraption feeds them just 1-2 kg of algae per day Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/110778-fish-feeder/#findComment-1248207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
