new chicken coup

i seem to be having a different problem than the food auto food and water works well but i keep getting message "chicken coop: help!" i have tried adding different foods nearby then sometimes it comes up with looking for storage rack well i thought ahah got it but no put it smack dab in the middle of every storage thing i can find and still getting it does anyone have any ideas please its driving us crazy

Sometimes they are yelling for help as they want you to come and collect eggs lol

It's best to open the notecard called config and check what it's set for in terms of the following settings:

# Short name of product to accept as food
FOODITEM=Grain
#
# Full name of storage location to take FOODITEM from
FOODTOWER=SF Storage Rack
#
# Short name of the product to accept as water
WATERITEM=Water
#
# Full name of the water tower to use if AUTOWATER is on
WATERTOWER=SF Water Tower

You need to make sure that the 'FOODTOWER' item is within range and it has enough of the 'FOODITEM' product.  Same for water.

yep tried all that sat it right near the grain storage ones right near a well on one side tower on the other then tried it with every storage thing i could find around it

Very odd, it should only be saying that if low on food or water. If you stand next to it so you can hear anything it says, try turning on auto-food and then auto-water. With the current version, after a few seconds if it can't connect it will let you know (and turn off the relevant auto item)

set it up to auto water and auto feed turned them off and on one by one and still nothing just the only thing i get now and then is it is looking for storage rack have put every type of storage thing within 10 metres and still have the same problem
