No, the Caducous Feeder is not infinite.
The Caducous Feeder in Hypixel SkyBlock is a minion upgrade designed to streamline the process of managing your farming minions. While it significantly automates the task of feeding, it operates with a finite capacity for Organic Matter, rather than providing an endless supply.
Understanding the Caducous Feeder's Design
The primary role of the Caducous Feeder is to ensure your minions consistently receive the necessary Organic Matter without requiring constant manual intervention from the player. This automation is a major convenience for efficiency.
- Finite Capacity: The Caducous Feeder has a defined storage limit for Organic Matter. It can hold a maximum of 10,240 Organic Matter. Once this amount is stored, or after it has been fully consumed by the minion, players must manually replenish its supply.
- Automation, Not Generation: It functions as an automated dispenser of existing resources. This means it efficiently distributes the Organic Matter you provide to it, but it does not generate Organic Matter on its own. Its purpose is to automate feeding, not resource production.
- Resource Management Still Required: Due to its limited capacity, players still need to monitor the Caducous Feeder's inventory and refill it periodically. This contrasts with items in the game that are explicitly designed to offer an infinite or perpetual supply of a resource.
Why It's Not an Infinite Source
The concept of "infinite" in Hypixel SkyBlock typically refers to items or upgrades that never deplete or require refilling, such as the Infinite Lava Bucket. The Caducous Feeder's design, which includes a specific capacity limit and the necessity for manual resupply, clearly indicates that it is not an infinite source of Organic Matter. It enhances convenience and efficiency by reducing manual tasks, but it does not remove the underlying need for the resource itself.
| Feature | Caducous Feeder | Truly Infinite Item (e.g., Infinite Lava Bucket) |
|---|---|---|
| Resource Supply | Finite; requires player refilling | Infinite; never depletes |
| Capacity | Has a specific maximum capacity (10,240 Organic Matter) | No practical capacity limit or consumption |
| Primary Role | Automate feeding existing resources to minions | Provide an endless supply of a specific resource |
