I've seen this bug mentioned a few places but only one person made a report back in August.

I have 4 level 2 barns. In two of them, everything seems to work fine.

But in the most recently purchased and upgraded 2 barns, when I buy new animals they no longer produce. For example, I loaded both barns with only llamas and all the llamas were shaved from the first day, but no wool was in the gatherer. Removing the gatherer didn't help.

I tried selling the llamas and getting goats instead, but they never make milk.

I have the auto feeder, auto petter, and full hay as well.

It takes so long to make a new level 2 barn and to buy animals that it's hard to do more to test by myself. Hoping others also have this issue.

Here's the last few saves. Not sure which one has the llamas but they should all have the non-working barns (left-most 2 barns)

I wonder if this has something to do with adding the auto-machines before buying the animals? 🧐

Hello @muted escarp. Thank you for sharing your report with us!
Also, it shouldn't make a difference whether you got the auto-machine or the animals first 👀

By the way, have you been letting your animals outside every day and petting them regularly? 🐾

I do let them outside, but I haven't pet them since I got the auto-petters. I don't think you can pet them after they've already been pet (?)

The animals in my original barns and coops produce fine (well, pigs and the coffee-bean animal seem bugged, but that's a different issue)
