#115285: "The food tokens are returned to the feeder after activating a predator to 'always hunt'"
What is this report about?
What happened ? Please select from below
The interface blocked me to do some game action authorized by the rules
Detailed description
• Which was the game action you wanted to do?
This started happening with the latest update, trying to take food in the forest.
• What do you try to do to trigger this game action?
There is now an option to set a predator to hunt always instead of waiting for the human interaction.
The issue is that if you pick food, then set the predator in the forest to 'always hunt', the food goes back to the feeder, and you can't take it again.• What happened when you try to do this (error message, game status bar message, ...)?
The turn looks likes this:
Move 26 :8:47:08 PM
Poruchik places an action cube in the Forest
Poruchik chooses not to take food from the birdfeeder
Poruchik rolls dice not in feeder 0,1
There is no undo as it involves rolling or drawing from the deck.• What is your browser?

Table #480349181, move 42. Same issue. My clicks were to: (1) select two food from the birdfeeder; then (2) set Eastern Screech Owl to automatically trigger. The game registered that I chose not to take food and I did not have a chance to undo.

Same issue.
Table #559133975
Move #67
I changed my northern harrier to automatic, so as not to waste time in a turn-based game. The game confiscated the fruit I'd just selected and is incorrectly reporting: Anna's Hummingbird: Cnythia chooses not to take food from the birdfeeder

Had it happen to me too. Exactly as this report details.
It returned the food and says I declined it.

This is confirmed. Thank you for the report and examples. The intended behavior when making changes to auto-activation on cards during your turn is that it resets the interface with respect to your current action. However, as reported, there are instances where it prematurely sends an incorrect move to the server. To fix this, I will need to rework some things in the interface code to bring it in line with more recent implementations that can handle these side actions. This will be fixed in the next update.
Until then, the best way to avoid affecting gameplay is make changes to automatic activation when it is not your turn. Second is to refresh the page after changing automatic activation when it is your turn.

I used the get food action and took a worm. I then changed the status of my red shouldered hawk to 'always play automatically'. I was then asked if I wanted to discard a card to get more food and said no. On completing my turn I noticed that I didn't get allocated my worm. When I checked the play for the game, it had been set to say that I had chosen not to take any food.
