-# Auto Breeder
+====== Auto Breeder ======
-The Auto Breeder is an [[energy_and_electricity#machines | Electric Machine]] which can be used to automatically breed up to 6 animals using [[Organic Food]].
+The Auto Breeder is an electric machine that feeds nearby animals with [[organic_food|Organic Food]] so your farms can reproduce without manual breeding.
-## Obtaining
+===== How to use it =====
-The Auto Breeder can be crafted in an [[Enhanced Crafting Table]].
+  - Connect it to a powered [[energy_and_electricity|Energy and Electricity]] network.
+  - Place [[organic_food|Organic Food]] in the machine's input slots.
+  - Keep at least two adult animals of the same type close to the machine.
+  - Give the animals enough room for baby mobs to appear.
-## Usage
+===== Behavior =====
-The Auto Breeder must be placed in range of an [[Energy Regulator]], [[energy_connectors | Energy Connector]] or an [[energy_capacitors | Energy Capacitor]] (in a straight line, not diagonals).
+  * The machine searches roughly 4 blocks horizontally and 2 blocks vertically around itself.
+  * It only targets adult animals that are able to breed and are not already in love mode.
+  * On a successful action, it uses 1 Organic Food and 200 J of stored charge, then puts one eligible animal into love mode.
+  * It naturally respects vanilla breeding cooldowns because it only works on animals that can already breed again.
+  * If there are more than six animals in range, the machine stops trying to breed more until the pen is smaller.
-The Auto Breeder respects the vanilla breeding time (5 minutes).
+===== Tips =====
-## Tiers
+  * Smaller breeding pens make the machine more reliable.
+  * Pair the Auto Breeder with an [[organic_food|Organic Food]] production line if you want it to run for long periods.
-| Tier | Buffer | Usage |
+  * If nothing happens, check three things first: power, food supply, and animal count.
