Adjust Animal Food

Why shouldn't chickens eat oats if you want them to? Or grass have 100% effectiveness for cows?
This mod gives you control over food effectiveness, crop assignments, mixed feed recipes, and TMR compositions.

Features:

Animal Food Control: Modify food group effectiveness (productionWeight) and consumption preferences (eatWeight) for all animal types

Custom Crop Assignments: Add or remove crops from any food group (e.g., add oat to chicken feed, allow cows to eat alfalfa silage)

Mixed Feed Customization: Adjust ingredient proportions and crop types for mixed feeds like pig food

Recipe Control: Customize recipes with precise min/max percentage ranges for each ingredient

Schema-Validated Configuration: Uses the game's built-in AnimalFoodSystem schema for robust, error-checked XML handling

Intelligent Merging: Your XML overrides customizations while automatically adding new content from mods or game updates

Per-Savegame Configuration: Each savegame gets its own XML file for independent customization

Automatic Updates: Configuration file is automatically updated with any new content on each load

Notice:

• This mod is in beta. Please back up your savegames before use.

• Customizations are done by editing an XML file generated in your savegame folder. No in-game UI is provided.

Customize aspects of animal feeding without modifying map files:

• Food effectiveness (productionWeight, eatWeight)

• Which crops belong to each food group (fillTypes)

• Mixed feed recipes and ingredient proportions

• TMR/forage recipe compositions and ranges

Usage:

• Configuration file (aaf_AnimalFood.xml) is automatically created in your savegame folder on first load.

• Exit the game and locate the XML file in your savegame directory.

• Edit the XML to customize your animal feeding system.

• Changes take effect on every savegame load as long as the mod is active and the XML file is present.
