qol Add show range for troughs (Tek and normal)

just a [x] yes

Good idea, makes a better building in the bases and not more then needed.

what about being able to include or exclude dinos from troughs like with the tek turret ,

this way you can set up say a feeder full of fish meat and have is set to just feed otters., and sweet vegie cakes for snails.

we currently have to move the otters well away from another dinos , more buildings more lag .

I think this would be an amazing add for a tek trough

i support this idea!

they just need to rework the trough icon above dino's head. first, realign the other symbols from stacking in the same location. the mateboost heart-sign for example makes it hard to read the other, and vise versa. once you clear that, you can start tweaking the actual icons. for troughs though, i'd like a gray version for no-food cases and obviously a colored version for when there's appetizers. not hard to implement and doesn't require you to add electronics to a low-tier item.

I definitely advocate for this change. I'm always worried that my dinos are starving because it's not obvious if their 'eating' from an empty trough. Had to hand feed on a number occasions to prevent certain death.

I personally think the Tek trough should have at least 50% extra distance coverage than the wood trough if no double

Great suggestion

One way to check is to fill the trough they seem to be feeding from and derender the place then come back. All dinos will be done feeding from the trough then and can see whether that dino food got rised or remain the same.

Excellent suggestion....This would be amazing...

This would be helpful for early breeders to know what trough the juvies are eating from and make sure they have food

Maybe you can have a option to enable or disable it same with the dino leash 

I would love to see tek range of feeding through as now I got to paint the foundation to count how far the distance of my feeding throughs are

what a ideas man ❤️  I also think they should be farther out or aat least make a metal trough for more range.

That's a great idea, but it should also include everything that has an area affect like also the oviraptor area of effect.

I LOVE this idea!
I also like the idea of an electrically powered trough that is mid-range of the standard (60 slots) and tek troughs (100 slots & much slower decay rate when powered).
So create a refrigerated metal one that holds 80 slots, powered by a regular generator or wind turbine, and it's decay rate is slightly slower than the standard troughs but slightly faster than tek troughs.

I love this idea.  Refrigerated Metal Trough that shows a range. Yes Pleas.

Like the idea.. just an FYI.. if you place a dino leash on medium range it's only one foundation smaller than the tek troughs range. Place a DL directly center of your TTs and you have a big red circle showing you, and locking dinos well within, feeding range.

Yes that would be nice

Also support this suggestion..... i lost not so long ago a quetz just because he was close of the limit of the though.... and i didn't realize it was out of the range.....

Better troughs would be nice. Specially for those of us that do not have tek.

I would like mine to be interconnected. I cannot choose wich trough dinos will eat of first. So dinos in center of the base wiped the more radial ones. Dinos not in center of base starved to death even thou I still had plenty of food.

The trough icon on dinos head should go away once there is no food he can it. Even if a still have berries ou spoiled meat, if the dino will starv, the icon becomes useless.

makes 0 difference, ive got juv and adolescent dinos starving to death and theyre stood ontop of tek troughs full of berrys. games fkd 

good idea. i hope the developerS put a more visible circle.

That's a great idea,  I would also like to see another tier of trough between the regular one and the tek trough, why can't we have a refrigerator trough or something, regular ones spoil very fast and I'm still working toward tek.

Range would be a great addition to the trophs as it's a bit tedious to know currently and it can be risky to trust the current system where any troph in range of a tame puts a trough symbol above it. 

At the very least would be nice if the symbol only appeared to tames that can actually eat food from the troughs so you can know which ones are getting food or not.

 

If we assign a group to a trough can we also get an Icon on the Dino for what trough it's assigned to weed out Meat/Veggie users in that range that would be great.

This would be a smart feature for sure!
