I've noticed that the auto-feeders tend to waste food. While I have a surplus of food at all times (13 garden plots with silver parsnips for my 11 different corrals of mosaic-bred largos) and waste is not truly an issue, there is always a bunch of parsnips being kicked around on the ground. Very inconvenient, to say the least.

Experimenting, I put 15-18 Pink-Mosaic largos in one corral to see if there would still be food waste, and there was, although not nearly as much. So perhaps having 20+ largos in one corral will solve food waste, but that's just asking for tarr trouble, imo.

I was wondering if anyone has worked out what the feeders dispense and how often, especially when on the slowest setting. I'd like to balance the dispensing with enough slimes to remove all waste. Maybe it's just a pipe dream, though. What are your thoughts?
