Critter feeder not working right

Try expanding the category you want enabled by clicking the arrow. Hatches and some other creatures eat dupe food, so if you just click the checkbox for the critter in question, they'll eat everything including all your food.

You probably want to only enable specific things to place in the feeder. There are definitely issues with how this list works that should be improved, sorry for the confusion.

I already stated that no matter what i change the settings to it changes back please read before responding.

share save please, easier to debug with bug in hand

Also that was a dev telling you the most common cause of users experiencing a problem similar to yours

if you check a food item for any critter it selects that food across all critters, as such feeding certain critters everything feeds every critter something

since you say this is not the problem you are experiencing, the fastest way to resolve your issue will be with a save file.

step one, uncheck Hatch

Step 2, Deselect critter feeder so that it resets

Step 3, listen to the developer

open the submenu and select 1 single item (Clay is a perfect choice here)

Notice on closing and reopening the critter feeder that more animals got selected

Thats because they ALSO eat clay, think of it like a farm trough, it doesn't matter who the food is for, whoever can eat it will come up and eat it.
Hatches eat almost everything so if you just choose hatch it chooses food that pretty much every other critter can eat as well.
That includes dupe food as pointed out by the devs, which is clearly loaded in your critter feeder.  In so far as I can find this is all as intended.  Please follow these steps @Mrfreak024

If you do not get the same results by limiting to clay that I have shown then indeed you have a bug.  If your results match my own then please reply with "Thanks @Brook problem solved please close this" otherwise share your results from repeating these steps so that we can further help fix your issue.

OMG really.......... I have already tried all that i have been playing this game since it has been released, i have 650+ hours logged into this i think know how to play.

By the way @Kabrute you are clearly missing what is wrong. I have already tried all the steps you had said that is why i am posting it as a bug. Stop thinking that i have no clue as to what i am doing.

Reinstalled the game. Its working fine now. It may have been a bad file when updating.

all I did was load your game and go through the steps and they worked fine for me, I was sharing my results.

is kind of proof that I have been "listening" from the beginning, since you managed to resolve your issue by doing a fresh install (verifying file integrity was going to be my next suggestion) I'm going to ask @Brookto go ahead and close the report.  Thank you.
