Piggy Feeder seems to work without Remote Herdskeeping

I've had a piggy feeder in my yard for quite a while, and only recently got Remote Herdskeeping Skill completed.  Seems like the feeder was working even though I didn't have the skill.  I was able to deposit food into it right away, and it looks like the piggies were eating out of it (there was food missing) while I was gone.   I get the milker and the meat collector not being able to be used until you earn this skill, but you should be able to leave food out for your animals while away (it's called being responsible).   I like the way it is now, but if so, then the skills warnings for the feeder need to be removed on this piece of equipment.

  • The skill description only mentions meat and milk collecting, so I assume the feeder is supposed to work without it.  The feeder description doesn't mention RHK either, so I think you are fine.

    Where are you seeing warnings?

  • When you purchase the product, it says you can't use it without Remote Herdskeeping...I had money before I got the skill so purchased it anyway...and well, it worked.  Actually the milk and meat collectors also work at collecting, but the option to actually get the stuff that was collected is grayed out until you get RHK.

  • And yep, it does appear you can do this. I'll have someone poke around here. :)
