Description[]
A specialized food dispenser for your zoos, designed specifically to cater to large, extinct herbivores. A hybrid timer-controlled and hunger-triggered mechanism will spawn food approximately every 5-20 minutes, based upon the hunger levels of nearby animals. Once it has been triggered, the dispenser will not function again for a minimum of 5 minutes, regardless of the hunger levels of the animals around it. Any large branch-eating animal will trigger the dispenser, and it will appear as an enrichment item in the zookeeper panels of animals that can trigger it.
The food item dispensed from the feeder is a paleo bale, a bundle of cycad leaves developed specifically for prehistoric animals. Any animal that eats branches will be able to eat these bales, but extinct animals will enjoy slightly longer lifespans and improved health when they eat from these bales.
The food dispenser utilizes completely custom animations. They are rather simple, sliding doors and dispersal nodes for the bales, but they are unique additions to the game.
Note: You cannot refill the paleo bale. Once depleted, it will disappear completely and must be replaced.
Note: The food dispenser has a monthly upkeep fee of $500. Take this into consideration when you use it in challenge and campaign games.
