Feeding Trough — let your tamed animals feed themselves
Languages: in-game texts are in English, or in French if your game is set to French.
Tired of dropping carrots on the ground for your boars, only to pick them all back up the moment you walk past? Build a feeding trough, fill its 6 slots, and hungry tamed animals nearby come and eat from it on their own.
How it works
- Build it: hammer, Furniture tab, near a workbench. It is a small container with 6 slots, about the size of the game's wood chest but lower, so hens can reach inside.
- Fill it: open it like a chest and put food in. The food shows on the straw, and everyone sees what is left.
- They come and eat: a hungry tamed animal within 15 m walks to the trough, stands against its edge and eats one item, with the game's own eating animation and sounds.
- Same rules as food on the ground: one meal keeps an animal fed for about 10 minutes, and a fed animal can breed. Food lying on the ground is still eaten first.
- Nothing on the ground: the food stays in the trough, so walking by never picks it up.
- Each animal eats its own food, the same as in the base game:
| Animal | Food |
|---|---|
| Boar | Carrots, turnips, onions, mushrooms, raspberries, blueberries |
| Hen | Seeds (carrot, turnip, onion, beech, birch), barley, dandelions |
| Wolf | Raw meat, deer meat, lox meat, neck tails, raw fish, chicken meat, sausages |
| Lox | Barley, cloudberries, flax |
Other tameable animals, including those from the newer biomes, eat from the trough what they eat in the game.
Five models
| Model | Size | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Plank feeding trough | 140 × 76 cm, 44 cm high | 10 wood |
| Hollowed log trough | 145 × 58 cm, 43 cm high | 6 wood, 2 core wood |
| Hooped feeding tub | 90 cm across, 40 cm high | 8 wood, 4 resin |
| Feed and water trough | 150 × 76 cm, 44 cm high | 12 wood, 2 resin |
| Stone feeding trough | 140 × 74 cm, 42 cm high | 12 stone, 2 wood |
They all work the same way. The water in the feed and water trough is decorative: animals never get thirsty in Valheim.

En français
Fini la nourriture jetée par terre pour vos animaux, que vous ramassez aussitôt en passant à côté. Construisez une mangeoire, remplissez ses 6 emplacements, et les animaux apprivoisés qui ont faim viennent y manger d'eux-mêmes.
- Construction : marteau, onglet Mobilier, près d'un établi. C'est un petit coffre de 6 emplacements, de la taille du coffre en bois du jeu mais plus bas, pour que les poules picorent dedans.
- Remplissage : on l'ouvre comme un coffre. La nourriture se voit sur la paille, et tout le monde voit ce qu'il reste.
- Repas : un animal apprivoisé affamé à moins de 15 m vient se placer contre le bord et mange un aliment, avec l'animation et les sons du jeu.
- Mêmes règles que la nourriture au sol : un repas le rassasie une dizaine de minutes, et un animal rassasié peut se reproduire. La nourriture posée au sol reste prioritaire.
- Rien par terre : la nourriture reste dans la mangeoire, rien n'est ramassé en passant.
- Chaque animal mange sa nourriture habituelle :
- sanglier : carottes, navets, oignons, champignons, framboises, myrtilles ;
- poule : graines, orge, pissenlits ;
- loup : viandes crues et poisson ;
- lox : orge, mûres des nuages, lin ;
- les autres animaux apprivoisables : ce qu'ils mangent dans le jeu.
- Cinq modèles :
- mangeoire en planches (10 bois) ;
- auge en tronc creusé (6 bois, 2 bois de cœur) ;
- baquet cerclé (8 bois, 4 résine) ;
- mangeoire et abreuvoir (12 bois, 2 résine), dont l'eau est décorative car les animaux n'ont jamais soif dans Valheim ;
- auge en pierre (12 pierres, 2 bois).
- Réglages dans
BepInEx/config/com.Azura.feedingtrough.cfg, décrits en anglais et en français :SearchRange: distance de recherche, 15 m ;FeedWildAnimals: laisser aussi manger les animaux sauvages, ce qui les apprivoise peu à peu ;LogMeals: noter les repas dans le journal.
- Installation : chez tous les joueurs et sur le serveur.
