| Beschreibung | Grazing Pastures adds customizable grazing pastures and pasture-connection tools for cows, sheep, and horses.
Included placeables:
- Cow Pasture: cattle/cows, 1500 animal capacity, external-water only, $1000.
- Sheep Pasture: sheep-family animals, 1500 animal capacity, external-water only, $1000.
- Horse Pasture: horses, 15 animal capacity, external-water only, $1000.
- Pasture Water Trough: optional external water storage for connected pastures.
- Pasture Water Pump: no-tank automatic water transfer from nearby water sources to selected water targets.
- Pasture Animal Feeder: bale-fed external feed and straw storage for compatible pastures.
- Pasture Fence: standalone connector fence with normal sections and a 6 m animal-transfer gate.
- Pasture Add-on Fence: extension/boundary fence for expanding an existing pasture area.
How it works:
- Place a pasture, draw/customize its fence, then finish construction.
- When placing the pasture, rotate it so the main gate opens inward into the pasture area.
- Place add-on fence sections connected to a pasture boundary to extend the effective pasture area.
- Place water troughs inside or connected to the pasture boundary so the pasture can use them as external water storage.
- The pastures do not include an internal water tank; water must come from external Pasture Water Troughs.
- Place a Pasture Water Pump within 15 m of natural water or a finite water source, then use its trigger to set nearby targets to Off or Auto.
- Cow, sheep, and horse pastures are separate one-animal-type pastures, not a mixed-species pen.
Feed and water:
- Use the Cycle Feed Mode input to switch the selected or nearest pasture between Grass + Hay, Grass Only, and Hay Only. Default key: K.
- The selected feed mode controls unloading, feeding, food display, and available food for that pasture.
- Feed mode is saved per pasture, with a savegame default.
- Place a Pasture Animal Feeder inside a compatible pasture to accept grass/hay bales for feed and straw bales for bedding.
- Water pumps start automatic transfer at 11:00 in-game and fill selected nearby productions, greenhouses, barns, pastures, troughs, or containers at a limited rate.
- Field information shows pasture acres and water capacity.
Fence joins and animal transfer:
- Snap a pasture fence to a compatible pasture fence, add-on fence, or standalone Pasture Fence connector.
- Animal transfer requires compatible connected pastures, matching animal type, and same-farm/access validation.
- Use a 6 m transfer gate near connected fences to open the transfer dialog.
- The transfer dialog lets you choose direction, animal group, and count.
Other features:
- Automatic default pasture numbering, such as Cow_Pasture1 and Cow_Pasture2.
- Custom pasture names are preserved.
- Multiplayer-safe server validation for feed-mode changes and animal transfers.
- Sheep/goat straw and manure support where the game exposes sheep-family subtypes.
- Horse pasture includes automatic daily horse care assistance.
Latest changes (1.0.0.2):
- Added the Pasture Water Pump placeable with GUI-controlled Off/Auto target modes.
- Added server-authoritative automatic water transfer from natural water, storage, or containers to supported nearby water targets.
- Added finite-source low-water shutdown protection.
Latest changes (1.0.0.1):
- Added scheduled milking between cow pastures and connected milk-producing cow barns.
- Added dynamic barn and pasture capacity updates for joined pasture boundaries.
- Added automatic transfer-gate fence-exit handling when joining pastures.
- Restricted add-on fence snapping to exposed ends of existing fence end segments.
- Added optional 4 m pasture gate grate configuration with a matching dirt apron that blocks meadow and foliage repainting.
- Added field-info displays for animal barns and pastures.
- Manure pits can now link from within 25 m outside a pasture boundary fence.
Notes:
- Standalone fence connectors are geometry/connection pieces; animal inventory remains on the actual pastures.
- This package does not include pasture dam placeables.
- This pasture set does not add milk or wool pallet production/spawn points. |
