I'm sad that this one doesn't seem to work any more - I can't add items as of 4/2024. Thanks for all the work on making this simple, clean mod while you were working on it though!

There are other mods that include feeding troughs, but this is probably the most overpowered one since it doesn't require power and is almost free to build. I know when they made a change to ARK last year or so, I had to redo my troughs as well. Recently had to rebuild them from scratch to get all the bugs out - so I can see why it eventually broke down. Shame, really.

Yep - no longer works :(

Has this been abandoned?

doesn't work on servers :(

Any recommendations for an alternative tough mod?

still cant add items in the trough?

Wanted to chime in and say that the issue of being unable to add items to a trough is still present, months later.

So the issue may be it has 3000 hit points out of 0

When I look at the Redwood Feeding Trough, I see:
Redwood Feeding Trough (Locked) 5 \ 500): 3000 / 0

I have tried no stacking mod, ab stacks and ultra stacks. I can remove items from the redwood feeding trough, but I am still unable to add items.

In my single player game, I am unable to add items to the feeding trough. It is in the center of the room with nothing within 2 tiles.

Check that it's not too close to another object.

I cant seem to put anything in the trough? Anyone else had this?

If the default setting is a problem, Add a bRFTAllowSpoilMultiplier to allow changes?
RFTSpoilMultiplierr is too high and heavy.

I think double check is safe.
bRFT ~~ = ture
RFTSpoilMultiplier=100 etc..

Update 9/10.
The RFTSpoilMultiplier option is now disabled after the update.
I have it set to 100, but it goes to 20000.
The number of slots appears to be working.

Wow, thanks for the update. Appreciated!

Thanks again for updating!

Just wanted to say thanks for your work on this mod. Our small group of survivors really appreciate your work.

The green area ring is hidden now in both dedicated and singleplayer, you should only ever see it for a moment when you first place a trough down and it won't be seen again. Some of the default ini settings were reset to 0 somehow which was the cause of the spoil timer being fast. I've set their defaults high in case there's still problems with the ini options. The new options are in the mod description and are the only settings used now.

Yeah, it appears that regardless of the .ini settings the items inside the trough die really fast. I've moved them into SS troughs for now because of how fast they were expiring.

I not only cant turn off the green ring, Also the spoil time dropped to shorter then the vanilla trough.
Making changes to the GameUserSettings.ini on the dedicated server does not seem to change anything.

@Whiplash, now I can't even turn off the green ring... I added the setting to my GameUserSettings.ini, and it's permanently on. RFTHideAreaRing=true

Thanks for updating the mod.

Adding RFTInventorySlotsMax to the Server.
However, the client functions such as green ring and spoil time display did not work.
It seems that the process is working only on the dedicated server side.

Z-MAN, make sure you're using the latest GameUserSettings.ini options listed in the mod description, and that RFTInventorySlotsMax amount is set larger than RFTInventorySlots. If you're playing on a server the server owner may need to add/update those settings. If it's still not working try reinstalling the mod.

No...
New update.
It's broken. I can't put anything in.
Catastrophe.

Hey mod author, how about making the mod code public so someone can fix this since you aren't going to?

i miss this mod... the model and functionality are my favorite of all the trough mods, but the ring always coming back is a huge no, especially now that i want to stream my gameplay.

Is this mod no longer being maintained?

Hello, can you please make a update, to delete the "green ring of death"? I turn off the green range indicator, walk away briefly, come back and it's on again (or server restart) Can you solve it for, that switch to permanently off? please?

That range ring is annoying as hell!

Unless a mod update...no chance. Every time you leave the render distance and come back, the green ring will be back, too.

is there a code we can place in the .ini file like ShowRange=false or something to get rid of this green ring..?? like we can with the range settings..??

bricktop ... place the trough down in the same spot ... press e and shut off the show range and the green ring disappears. then pick it up..

Any chance this mod will be getting an update? That range indicator is killer.

Pick them up before doing it I guess.

I disabled and removed the mod from the server and the green ring of death is still there!!

Is there no way to remove the green circle after you remove the mod??

Need to wait for a mod update.
Changed for all modded troughs in a recent ARK update.

I placed a trough. Green ring appeared. Picked up trough. Green ring stayed. Restarted server. Green ring stayed.

How do I get rid of the green ring?

Ideas?

I confirm that the line DOES NOT show if you hold E and click on Don't Show Range. So this is now my alternative.

The lines show on all troughs right now, latest patched screwed them all.

@Whiplash are you still supporting this mod? If not you should state this is the case so people can move on to something else if it's broken like it is currently.

This by far has been the best thing in the game cause its enabled me to have food in the troughs all the time for my creatures and never spoils. I really would love to see it keep going and get updated and fixed. Right now the range lines are showing all the time and are broken, and its a pain to see it all the time, although the troughs still work really good, food never spoils.

The spoil timer is too long for me.
Is there a way to change with dedicated sever?
RFTSpoilMultiplier setting only works for local play.

Glad to hear, have had this mod for years now, so praying to the ARK gods it stays functional :)

Yes I spoke too soon, completely removed the mod and reinstalled and is working again.

Works fine on latest update here.
So must be something on your end, try to unsub/sub on both server/client.

I noticed that this mod doesn't run on the latest version of ARK. Will there be an update or is this mod no longer worked on?

is really annoying raised in getto, no parent wave speaker flies asshole
