I think its 9min irl for 1bar 6min irl for 2bar 3min irl for 3bar (1min = 1hr in game) which is the reason why my slimes are always hungry whenever i wake up from sleeping since the drones seems to go idle whenever i time skip or sleep and stop stocking up my corrals stocked with food so it doesnt last long since its in three bars… i recommend 1-2bar if youre just gonna skip for profit and 3 if you wanna do it yourself(edited by Cjaye71)
First, make sure you have made the upgrade. Then, go to a little container on one of the posts of your slime corral, simply put in any slime food, and the auto feeder will automatically feed it to the slimes at one of three paces, slow,medium, and fast. You should normally use slow to conserve resources, unless you have many slimes in that one cage. The speed can be changed by pressing the button of the container of the auto feeder. 1 bar is slow, 2 bars is medium, and 3 bars is fast. Keep in mind you should restock the auto feeder regularly according to your slimes!
