Droping food/items/feeding animals

Trying to feed animals can be a right pain in the rear if you have them in a small pen. When tossing items they just kinda flop out there in the direction you face. This is an ok idea but not very refined and frustrating when trying to drop a mushroom in a specific spot in the path of a critter or in your small pen. Turning your char is wierd anyways as you don't turn to face the direction you point with the keyboard right away but instead kinda meander that way as if you were a car trying to hang a u-turn.

What would be nice is if when you drag'n drop something out of the inventory it goes to approx where the mouse cursor is. So you are actually tossing it to the mouse cursor as it was. It would sure save me a lot of cursing and swearing.

What I would love is actually a feeder. I drop the food in various spots, but then, later, when I walk by they get auto picked up. Yeah,I could turn it off when I enter the pen, but wouldn't it be better to have feeders? It would fit well too. This way, we can place feeders around and make sure we have coverage for the pets to feed (maybe give us a coverage bubble like we do for crafting stations.

maybe it'll be a thing in the next big update. a feeder would be a nice way to dump lots of stuff you dont need into a food bin.

maybe a change to the animal AI to not eat it as well if there is no more room to breed and make more animals.

I would still really love to be able to toss mushrooms to the mouse cursor or something specific like that. The overhand throw just drives me batty.

For my breeding towers i made a spot that foxed a psoition to throw the food. This spot was so tight that it was impossible to miss the aim
