PS5 Auto feeder stops working after ocean barn

[abstract spire]

After purchasing the ocean barn, filling it with one of each if the first four animals, adding a heater, autopetter and auto collector in the underwater barn - suddenly my autofeeder on my land farm stopped working.

I have hay in the silo and when I check the autofeeder in each of my two farm buildings (upgraded coop and upgraded barn), it shows that I have hay.

My upgraded coop and barn are both filled with animals and have heaters, auto petters and auto collectors.

When I interact with the autofeeder, I can pull out hay and manually place them in the trough. However, it has stopped doing it automatically. I must manually place hay in the feeding trough of each farm building each day.

My silo shows that I have 300 hay (max).

The autofeeder worked fine until now. It was only after setting up my underwater barn that it stopped working.

I have tried deleting the game and reinstalling it. I have tried emptying out the silo and putting hay back in. Both if these havent worked.

Hi @abstract spire , thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! Could you provide details on how many barn and coops you have in your farm, along with the level for each of them? Along with that, could you send a video of the issue here so we can take a closer look?

A simple phone recording will do, thank you for your understanding and cooperation

One level 2 barn; One level 2 coop.

I had one underwater barn when I noticed the issue. I now have two underwater barns.

Another thing I noticed as I continued to play - I bought the underwater barn right as the season turned to winter. It is possible that the autofeeder stopped working before that, but that I didnt notice because I was letting the animals out of the barn each day.

I will film a video later today and put it on this thread.

Thank you for the update! It seems that you have don't have the auto feeder mounted on the coop and barn wall as it should be mounted like the picture attached 😲

Did you remove them by any chance? When did you upgrade your coop & barn?

[abstract spire]

I did not remove them. I upgraded my coop and barn before the new update - quite some time ago. I added new feeders and the problem was resolved briefly, but they disappeared again.

I just crafted new ones and replaced them (this would be the third time total that I’ve crafted them) and, so far, it has been working.

Thanks for your help.
