Power food weird or me messing up?

[Dexzilla]

Hi all,
Just mixed my first moo food in 17. used bales, 1 straw,2 hay 1 silage to make 16000l.
When emptied into trough and fast timed until it shows, the animal screen shows 6000 power food and +10,000 silage/hay?
Is this right , or did I do something wrong?

Thats the way giant's have programmed it.....God only knows why. Its daft if you ask me.

Yes it is, not like trusty old Mixed rations, with their special power of staying mixed!!!
Thanks for the confirmation, about 60 % separate's on unloading into trough ,lol

It isn't like IRL we ever get products with cooler sounding names that actually do less than the old dull thing is it. Maybe it's a very subtle comment by Giants on the evils of modern consumerism, maybe it's just a cock up.

Exactly the same thing happens for me.

My workaround is to ensure that the hay/silage are 100% full before unloading the power food.

Does that stop it splitting?

[Memran]

Yes it does for me

[Dexzilla]

ah, cool, will keep that in mind. thanks!
on Sos' hard that is a huge effort saver, nearly resorted to the straw silage glitch, you kept me clean!

Thanks for asking this question, and the answers posted. I'm about to get into silage and power food, this would have confused me big time.

Not for me on PC. It fills my hay/silage beyond maximum capacity.

I go 1 hay 1 straw 2 silage

Sorry guys the Manual is not very explicit in explaining it. We will update it soon:

Total Mixed Ration is NOT PowerFood. Total Mixed Ration is Silage&Powerfood Combined, so you do not need to shovel any Silage into the troughs when you use the siloking, because it will fill both levels to save you time. So it works as intended, it's just not well explained.

i.e. TMR = 80% productivity - Because it's a mixed ration of powerfood and silage.

So.. what is power food and how is it getting into my siloking? Confused...

Power food is the mix we make of straw silage and hay.

Thanks for the clarification, how complicated!!!!

hehe. This is why I just buy Power Food pallets from the store and be done with it, just like pig food

But why buy when you already have it on your farm even if it is such a deeply floored stupid stupid ARE YOU LISTENING GIANTS stupid idea.
