Extra Animal Configs

This mod adds extra functionality to the farm animal data model, allowing modders to define custom animals with some custom behaviors beyond the vanilla game.

Current features list:

• Animals that can eat food other than grass and hay, and silos to contain this custom feed.
• Multiple possible animal choices from an egg hatch or live birth, instead of always the same animal as the parent.
• Animals with multiple harvest methods depending on their current produce, such as animals that can both be sheared and milked.
• Animals with multiple simultaneous produce instead of just one type of item per day. Can be combined with the above.
• Animal appearance based on age, produce, and other content. This can be used to make animals with multiple growth stages.
• Animals that can go outside even during rain and winter.
• Animals that can attack you.
• Item queries in animal produce spawn. Notably, this allows "dig up" animals (e.g. Pigs) to dig multiple possible items instead of only one item per day.
• Animal produce that ignore quality from friendship.
• Harvest Moon chickens-like animals that don't need to eat if they're let outside.
• A couple new GSQs for "player has animals" in either current location, or globally.
• New drops from scything grass.
  

This framework mod does nothing on its own, and requires content packs using it to function. For content creators, see the guide below.

Compatibility:

• Animal Husbandry: Animals manually impregnated by the syringe can use this mod's feature to determine the resulting child animal. There are no interactions between the two mods otherwise, and they can both be used alongside each other.
• Better Ranching: Partially compatible, you need to turn off "Prevent Failed Harvesting" for the "shearable and milkable" feature to work. Full compatibility is in the works pending this pull request.
• Animals Die: Animals that eat custom feed are not compatible with that mod's hunger portion. Disable it for now.
