About this mod
Turns coops and barns into green spaces that stay in spring year-round! Also adds NPC blockers to keep critters away from machines and lets you use them as greenhouses.

Ever wanted your animals to be in a more outdoorsy place, instead of the (not so good) wood buildings Robin built? I know I did, so I made this!

This mod was heavily inspired by Kana's Comfortable Slime Hutch and Relaxing Greenhouse, so if you like the aesthetic I really recommend those mods to complete the 'green interiors' collection!
Features
- Green maps that stay in a permanent spring, so your animals can have the outdoor vibes without freezing in winter.
- Maps are the exact same size as vanilla, but they have areas with NPC blockers to keep animals away. You can use them to freely place machines or decorate. Don't worry, animals still have plenty of free space left!
- Recolor compatible! Choose the interior recolor you are using in the config menu, or leave it as 'Vanilla' if you aren't using any.
- Every map has a small pond inside that expands with upgrades - it's mostly for visuals, because I like the idea of my animals having a natural water source inside, but you can also use them to refill your watering can.
- As a small bonus, every grass tile is diggable and the interiors work as greenhouses, so you can plant anything you want!
Config
- Map Recolor: Vanilla, VPR, Earthy, Elegant, Rustic. Defaults to 'Vanilla'.
- SVE's Premium Buildings: true, false. Defaults to 'true' (won't do anything if you don't have the respective mod).
- Jen's Mega Buildings: true, false. Defaults to 'true' (won't do anything if you don't have the respective mod).
- Resource Chickens' Giant Coop: true, false. Defaults to 'true' (won't do anything if you don't have the respective mod).
Compatibility
- Works with all world recolors and the interior recolors listed before! The interior recolor chosen here will override any other.
- Vanilla Plus Professions's "Overcrowding" talent: Compatible! This mod includes bigger maps to fit more animals and will automatically change to them when you get the talent, so there's no need to disable anything on their side!
- Jen's Mega Coop and Barn: Compatible! Replacement maps are now included as of 1.0.2, but you can turn them off in the config.
- Resource Chickens' giant coop: Compatible! Replacement map is now included as of 1.0.2, but you can turn it off in the config.
- SVE's premium buildings: Compatible - in theory! I added the map replacements in the same way as the others, but I didn't test them (my laptop will explode if I try to run SVE), so let me know if they work or if there are any bugs!
- Other mods that add new coops/barns: Won't cause any visual/gameplay bugs, since this mod targets the vanilla maps (+ the ones listed before) only. Please note, however, that those interiors won't be changed. I don't know of any mods that do this other than the ones I already covered, but you can make a request in the comments if there's one so I can work on a patch for them!
- Animals Need Water: I don't play with it so I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure the ponds inside won't work. You can always buy a water trough from Marnie, though!
- Won't work with mods that alter the vanilla coop/barn maps (obviously).
Install and Uninstall
These are the same size as the original vanilla maps, so you can install or uninstall this mod at any point and nothing will be lost to the void. There are only two things to take into account:
- If you install this mod mid-save, make sure you don't have any machines or chests where the ponds are, since you might not be able to reach them. Use NoClipMode if that happens to reach your things.
- The Coop and Big Coop's feeding troughs aren't in the same place as vanilla, so your hay might be shifted when installing/uninstalling mid-save. Simply bomb the hay to remove it. After that the hay will be placed where it is supposed to.
