How do you feed critters other than hatches?

[Kolascay]

So for forever everybody has known how to feed hatches. You just plopped down some materials or some food and they ate it up and excreted some coal for your generator. But coming in with the Ranching Upgrade, I have litterally no idea how to feed all the other creatures. I'm trying to breed shinebugs but they're just so unhappy because they're always starving. I put algae, dirt, fetilizer, metal, and rock in the feeder and on the ground, and they don't eat it. I put mush bars and fries on the ground and feeder. Same with slicksters and pufts. I have no idea how to feed them...

Somebody please explain to me?

IIRC it was mentioned on the Twitch stream that Shinebugs eat Phosphorite.

Thanks! But what about slicksters and pufts?

They eat the same they did before. Make sure Pufts get polluted Oxygen and Slicksters Co2.

Do you need to feed them to let them live, or do they only need food to reproduce?  Also, what do you feed morbs?

i think feeding is for happiness level only, imagine all your hatches die of starvation,

I think your right, and that you hit copy/paste at an odd time.

That would make this patch more realistic. @KleiEntertainment please consider!!!!

But.... but..... we have an all powerful lexicon ingame now - you should never need search for answers again!

  private void SetupDiet(GameObject prefab)
  {
    Diet diet = new Diet(new Diet.Info[2]
    {
      new Diet.Info(new TagBits((Tag) PrickleFruitConfig.ID), SimHashes.Void, 4000000f, 1f, (string) null, 0.0f),
      new Diet.Info((TagBits) GameTags.Phosphorite, SimHashes.Void, 4000000f, 1f, (string) null, 0.0f)
    });
    prefab.AddOrGetDef<CreatureCalorieMonitor.Def>().diet = diet;
    prefab.AddOrGetDef<SolidConsumerMonitor.Def>().diet = diet;
  }

Looks like phosphorite and raw bristle berries, each converted at 1kg=4000kcal rate.

In the last stream, one of the Klei people - the loremaster - said she is working on filling in all that stuff.  I think it's on it's way.

That was my point  

[Mjello]

I can confirm that shine bugs will eat phosphorite and bristle berries.
Pufts will also eat bristle berries. I wonder if all foods are usable.

In other words, 250g/cycle compared to 250g/s before for some critters.
