Tired of dropping carrots on the ground for your boars, only to pick them all back up the moment you walk past? Build a feeding trough, fill its 6 slots, and hungry tamed animals nearby come and eat from it on their own.

How it works

• Build it: hammer, Furniture tab, near a workbench. It is a small container with 6 slots, about the size of the game's wood chest but lower, so hens can reach inside.
• Fill it: open it like a chest and put food in. The food shows on the straw, and everyone sees what is left.
• They come and eat: a hungry tamed animal within 15 m walks to the trough, stands against its edge and eats one item, with the game's own eating animation and sounds.
• Same rules as food on the ground: one meal keeps an animal fed for about 10 minutes, and a fed animal can breed. Food lying on the ground is still eaten first.
• Nothing on the ground: the food stays in the trough, so walking by never picks it up.
• Each animal eats its own food, the same as in the base game:

| Animal | Food |

|---|---|

| Boar | Carrots, turnips, onions, mushrooms, raspberries, blueberries |

| Hen | Seeds (carrot, turnip, onion, beech, birch), barley, dandelions |

| Wolf | Raw meat, deer meat, lox meat, neck tails, raw fish, chicken meat, sausages |

| Lox | Barley, cloudberries, flax |

Other tameable animals, including those from the newer biomes, eat from the trough what they eat in the game.

Five models

| Model | Size | Cost |

|---|---|---|

| Plank feeding trough | 140 × 76 cm, 44 cm high | 10 wood |

| Hollowed log trough | 145 × 58 cm, 43 cm high | 6 wood, 2 core wood |

| Hooped feeding tub | 90 cm across, 40 cm high | 8 wood, 4 resin |

| Feed and water trough | 150 × 76 cm, 44 cm high | 12 wood, 2 resin |

| Stone feeding trough | 140 × 74 cm, 42 cm high | 12 stone, 2 wood |

They all work the same way. The water in the feed and water trough is decorative: animals never get thirsty in Valheim.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.Azura.feedingtrough.cfg is created at the first launch. Each setting is described in English and in French.

| LogMeals | false | Write every meal taken from a trough in the log (for troubleshooting) |

Installation

Fini la nourriture jetée par terre pour vos animaux, que vous ramassez aussitôt en passant à côté. Construisez une mangeoire, remplissez ses 6 emplacements, et les animaux apprivoisés qui ont faim viennent y manger d'eux-mêmes.

• Construction: marteau, onglet Mobilier, près d'un établi. C'est un petit coffre de 6 emplacements, de la taille du coffre en bois du jeu mais plus bas, pour que les poules picorent dedans.
• Remplissage: on l'ouvre comme un coffre. La nourriture se voit sur la paille, et tout le monde voit ce qu'il reste.
• Repas: un animal apprivoisé affamé à moins de 15 m vient se placer contre le bord et mange un ali
