We either need another feed machine or some animals shouldn’t get hay…gorillas should get bananas, elephants should get peanuts, this would made it more possible to keep up with increased demand on the feed mills…Also, second dairy needed more than second sugar mill…

Fact is that most animals need hay bundles. SC already showed the white polar fox, that one needs fish. There are some threads on this forum with regards to carnivores that are foreseen in a future update.
I am level 181 and prefer the sugar mills above a 2nd dairy mill, I make a lot of donuts and candy sticks.
It al depends on your priorities in this game and your playstyle. I use Rose and Ernest boosters a lot, they make the additional dairy products and keep 180 in stock for me.

I absolutely agree about an additional feed mill...and do most of the animals really need only carrots? I use the farm helpers to manage stock, but the amount of hay that's needed daily to keep up with the zoo is absurd. SC could do better.

kristeny4 I agree with you, although I must admit that the second sugar mill doesn't hurt. But when I have produced the sufficient quantity for me my machines have a break. I think it's hard to determine which product is in higher demand, sugar products or such with milk and cheese. It really depends how you are playing. I wouldn't refuse a 2nd dairy. The only disadvantage of a 2nd dairy in relation to a sugar mill is the size. In the moment I wouldn't know where to place it. The only way to balance the mismatch is to implement those machines with products with a long production time over night, and that consequently. But I think you're aware of that.

The only way most players can realistically make enough feed for the sanctuary animals is to hire Rosie (or whatever she’s called) to manage the feed for the other animals. In other words, I am sure this is by design on SC’s behalf. I have multiple farms, all with the max number of slots available on the feeding mills. I wheat a lot, and one machine on each farm makes 24/7 wheat bundles. I often sell the surplus bundles. only the chickens and cows need to be fed regularly, the others take hours before they need food again. Meanwhile your machine can make that. when my main farm was low level, one machine made 🐓 and 🐄 feed, the other the remainder feed. You need to know how to stack your machines to keep up with the feeding scheme of all animals. |

It is worth pointing out that the animals are virtual and don't really need to be fed. Especially the sanctuary. Mine sleep a lot, and I feed them for farm pass tasks. If you feel the need to feed (haha I like the rhyme there), you can always load up your machines before bed and wake up to find all the feed you need (haha again).
As far as changing the items to feed gorillas and elephants, this has been discussed before but SC won't change their feed. It is also important to point out that the elephants are offered to be collected at the opening of the town at level 34. Peanuts (and the squirrels needed to collect them) don't unlock until level 62. So elephants would go hungry for 24 levels. And the banana tree doesn't unlock until level 88, so gorillas would be practically extinct by the time you unlock their food.
Now of course I kid, but it just wouldn't be logical for other players to have to wait to make the feed because they haven't reached either of those levels.

You need to know how to stack your machines to keep up with the feeding scheme of all animals. The operative part of your reply is the “multiple” farms aspect. Not all players want to (or are able to) put all the time and effort into running 3 or more farms merely to circumvent what amounts to a logjam in the feed mills because of poor planning by SC in the game design for time management. Seeing your farm level in your signature line, I'm both in admiration and astonishment. First, that your farm level is 100+ levels ahead of me. Secondly, that I manage to have no issue with feeding my animals. As I posted earlier, if you have both feed mills loaded up by bedtime, you should easily have enough feed for your animals by morning. And with I believe somewhere around 10hrs between feed time (sanctuary) this should still not be hard to accomplish. Oh, and I also have multiple farms but never make feed for my main farm with them. They're for upgrade materials only. |

My sanctuary animals mostly sleep so I only make wheat bundles when I need to wake them up for the farm pass.

I now have 19 Sanctuary animals, and I feed them twice a day, morning and evening. I keep a third set of 19 feed as an emergency back up in case I forget to make a two sets overnight. So each night I have 19 available (my back up emergency set) but I make two sets totaling 38 overnight so each morning I have 57 total. I would LOVE to have a third feed mill, and I predict it will happen since they already did this with the sugar mill. I just hope they add the third feed mill in the next update!!

And with I believe somewhere around 10hrs between feed time (sanctuary) this should still not be hard to accomplish. Oh, and I also have multiple farms but never make feed for my main farm with them. They're for upgrade materials only. OK I’ll bite, tell me how with 9 slots on 2 machines you can make 7 feed for sanctuary animals, plus sufficient for 15 pigs, 15 sheep, 15 cows, 12 goats, 18 chickens? You’re assuming people keep massive stocks of animal feed. If one is an active player and uses feed as one makes it, this is all but impossible. I’m glad you’re succeeding, but clearly the OP of this thread isn’t able to, and quite a few others (myself included) can’t as this is a common complaint. One that incidentally will only get worse with 2 additional reindeer and the arctic foxes coming later this year. I fully understand that the sanctuary animals don’t reuqire being fed, but it is somewhat absurd to provide an aspect to the game that becomes unobtainable for many to keep up with. There seem to be at least 3 of us in this thread who feel is is a problem, so how about you impart some of your wisdom and post a schedule of how to add what and in what order and timeframe that leaves one with sufficient feed in the morning to feed every animal. I will address each part of your post. First you are saying 9 slots on 2 machines. Let's start with the sanctuary. So there's a total of 24 sanctuary animals ( if you've unlocked them all), each feed made feeds 3 animals. 24÷3=8. So you only need 8 slots to feed sanctuary animals. That leaves you 1 sot open on that mill and 9 on the other. But let's put things in perspective, not everyone has all 24 animals, not everyone has 9 slots on mills. If we stick with your numbers then you still have 10 total slots to use. As I stated earlier, I make sanctuary feed overnight so I'm able to use mills during the evening for regular animals. I will also use Rose to make feed while at work sometimes. She fills my pigs, goats and sheep while I'm away. Cows and chickens are quick enough for me to do. As for the second part of your statement I'm not assuming anything. I think everyone has there own style of play, and my style works for me. Let's leave it at that. Finally, the last part of your statement was that there were multiple people who feel the same, which is true. There are also many people who don't have an issue with feeding or not feeding fake animals. Btw, the OP was only referring to the sanctuary. And the response was made with that in mind. I can assure you, this is in no way a disrespect to you or your play style. As I stated earlier I'm in awe of your farm level. We just have different play styles. Which is how this game was meant to be played. |

I have read through this thread with interest. For what it’s worth here is my input - I welcomed my first baby reindeer recently so am only one off the max sanctuary animals possible, I never use Rose or Ernest and never have a problem feeding the sanctuary animals. I just load up one of the mills at night making wheat bundles, keep a healthy stock and feed them in the morning, I never worry if I run out as I don’t mind letting them have a sleep. I am looking forward with interest to see how Supercell intend to feed the Arctic foxes later this year. As mentioned above I’m sure it will have to be with fish and when the fox baby’s are released that will surely be a massive demand on the fishing lake - it will be very interesting.

After reading your post, there is one glaring item in there: Which is exactly what I said in my original post in this thread. If one wants to feed all sanctuary animals the only realistic way is with Rosie. Which can be done easily enough with the frequency one gets boosters for her. This is true, but i said"sometimes". I rarely ever use her, but when I do it is with this method. Also, as I stated in an earlier post, I don't feed my sanctuary animals everyday, but when I do, again it's with this method. |

Rosie and Ernie sit on the cliff permanently on my farm as I do prefer to manage things myself. My husband however has them in continual use on his farm - to each their own. |

I’m far from having all the animals, but by the time I do, I hope they have more fishing slots as well (and reduce the amount of diamonds needed to add slots to the lure maker. It’s crazy, imo.). For the sanctuary, I make two sets of animal feed and let my animals sleep (with full dishes) much of the time. I wake them for events (or sometimes if my son wants to watch them, lol) Then I line up another set of haystacks so it’s ready to go when they eat what they have. I have 11 animals currently, and 16 slots on the machines, iirc. (Maybe 18 but not certain.) It does take a little while, but if I’ve woken them, I usually have enough time to grow wheat for the machines before bed. Or (shhhhh.. I.BUY some from the paper—gasp!!!) (Not being sarcastic here—hoodie jokes about how much I shop, lol.) I’m four machines behind because I wanted the red tractor a while back, so I saved for that and pick up those missing machine items in the paper if my friends don’t have them out or I want to save my Tom boosters. |

@all First I want to state that I find this a very interesting thread especially due to contrary opinions and the given arguments in every case. I also must admit that I had to read it twice for fully understanding.  In my opinion you can achieve whatever you want provided that your gameplay fits with available machines and slots. And this is of course very different. I have 2 feed mills fully developed on my main farm. In most (!) cases it's enough to produce a plenty of food for my cows, pigs, sheeps and goats. If I've fed one sort of my farm animals the next step would be immediatly updating the food for this farm animal. If I do so it's rarely that I forget it. Should it ever happen, ok, than I have to wait, or other possibility I use my babyfarm to support my main farm. But as stated this happens very rarely. Food for chickens I buy mostly in RSS and I rarely use the eggs from my own chickens. I often buy eggs in RSS so I have no lack. Sometimes I have over 200 eggs in my barn, and food above 150, so I'm well prepaired. And if I see an offer for food in DD I buy it at once. This helps, too. The other thing is sanctuary. I must say I find it not impossible to fed the animals every time, but I think it's laborious. (I have 16 animals) Of course you can act as Dibzie suggested, a very good idea. But honestly? I'm too lazy for that. When I feel like it I do so, if not my sanctuary animals are asleep.  As RescueSquad15. (RS 15)🪓 stated everyone can play how he want, that's the spirit of HayDay. But it's also right that some issues are difficult to handle. Sometimes you have to reconsider what is important and what is not. But the thing is you mustn't do that, you CAN do it. I think that is something we all agree to. donkeyfan |

I already keep surplus fish in stock, cause I know that the day will come that we need lots of it. There is always room in my barn for fish filets. |

Hi Ducktown - what is the Arctic fox food exactly? - you say it is made in feeding mills?? Yes, there is a thread here on JHD forum, also with pictures. It’s a bucket with at least fish that you need. I try to find that thread and post the link in this reaction. Lol, you posted a reaction in this thread. I believe Lynnk2021 also posted something with the animal and food bucket, with a spoiler alert. i try to find the picture. justhayday.boards.net/thread/224/summer-update?page=3www.reddit.com/r/HayDay/comments/o9oc34/just_got_the_update_does_anyone_know_what_the/ |

One thing that never made sense to me was the hamburger..made exclusively with 2 bacon, not beef. I like to add bacon to my burgers but would never make a "bacon" burger. |

Perhaps the RSS sale value of feed products should be significantly increased.
It would help low level farms (who have mill capacity) buy production machines at the same help the - coin rich - high level farms with feed shortages.
