Remove or change trough icon if no food available

In a multi-trough situation it's possible to assume an animal is in range of the one that you're filling without realizing that it's only in range of some other trough further away that's being neglected.

In a perfect world, the trough icon would indicate whether the in-range troughs had any food that the animal would be willing to eat in it, but a simpler suggestion would probably be to just not have empty troughs count when doing the "in range of trough" check.

Yeah graphic doesnt change on dinos but trough itself does they easily could just not show graphic unless its eating from a trough. Or add a trough icon with red x going through it if empty

Doesn't the trough appear empty if empty?

[Wulf2k]

....Does it really?

I've never noticed that if so.

I'll have to check, which I probably should have done before actually making the topic.

Once you add food it looks like pig slop.

Think he means the icons above the dino. It's a good idea really.

Yeah, I meant the icon above the dinos, didn't realize you were talking about the trough graphic itself.
