What Auto Jelly Feed does
Auto Jelly Feed is described in a late-September update snapshot as a feature that automatically feeds ants with Jelly. Its purpose is convenience: reduce repeated manual feeding when the current game shows an eligible action. The public announcement does not establish the present menu path, accepted input, target rules, interval, unlock condition, or resource cost.
Use the live feeding controls for those details. An automatic option cannot operate when it is disabled, lacks the required input, or has no eligible target. The name confirms the action, not every condition around it.
Learn one manual feed first
Open the current ant or feeding interface and perform one normal action if the game allows it. Observe the selected ant, resource, confirmation, and visible result. This baseline tells you what automation should reproduce and helps separate a resource problem from a setting problem.
Do not assume a shop item with “Jelly” in its name is automatically the input. Compare the exact resource label in the feeding interface with your inventory. Speed Jelly is documented as a timed movement item; feeding may use a different representation or condition.
Enable and observe the feature
Find the Auto Jelly Feed option in the live controls, confirm its state changes to enabled, and select a target only when the interface asks for one. Check that the displayed input is available. Then wait for the next eligible feed and inspect the result on the selected ant.
Troubleshoot a feeder that does not run
Check the enabled state first. A visible control is not necessarily active. Next check the exact input and amount displayed by the feeding interface. Then inspect the target and any eligibility message. Address the message before changing unrelated colony upgrades.
If the interface looks stale after an update, close and reopen it. Rejoin a current server when controls fail to load, then repeat the checks once. Rejoining can refresh UI state but cannot create a missing resource or make an ineligible ant valid.
Change one condition at a time. If you switch target, buy an item, toggle the feature, and rejoin simultaneously, you will not know which action fixed the issue. A short observation after each change is more useful than rapid repeated toggling.
Auto feeding versus Speed Jelly
Auto Jelly Feed names an action. Speed Jelly names a documented timed item category. Do not assume the automation consumes the four Speed Jelly tiers or extends their timers unless the current feeding panel says so. Similar words are not a mechanic connection.
Use the Jelly Guide to plan timed movement items and this page to inspect automatic feeding. If the live feature accepts a specific resource, record that exact label before buying anything.
Fit automation into progression
Automation is easiest to judge after you understand the manual system. It saves input; it does not replace placed ants, Food collection, Cash sales, Queen recruitment, or colony slots. A new player should first make the ordinary route reliable and then configure convenience features.
Protect resources while testing. Use a replaceable or low-risk target if the result is uncertain, and do not consume a high-value item merely to prove the switch exists. Keep the Queen reserve and active production line intact.
Frequently asked questions
Is Auto Jelly Feed still in the game?
It is named in a recent update snapshot, but current availability and control location need live verification after later updates.
Where do I enable it?
Open the current ant or feeding controls and look for the explicitly labeled option. A fixed menu path is not reliably confirmed.
Why is it not feeding?
Check enabled state, required input, selected target, eligibility messages, and current server UI in that order.
Does it use Speed Jelly?
Do not assume so. Compare the exact input label in the live feeding interface with the documented Speed Jelly item names.
Does Auto Jelly Feed increase production by itself?
It automates a feeding action. Any resulting effect depends on the accepted input and current ant state shown by the game.
