For those looking for a 1.6 update - I've released my own version of this mod compatible with the new update. All credit should still definitely go to KarratKake, and if they update this mod I'll happily take mine down but I wanted to get something out in the meantime.
Is there a way to turn this on and off when you want? Sometimes I just want my grass to grow out a little before they eat it because it seems like the animals eat it faster than it grows
I have noticed something though: it stops my pigs from finding as many truffles. I have 18 pigs and the average number of truffles they find in a day is about 30. After I installed this mod, it worked and it fed them along with the rest of my animals, but the average number dropped down to 5 total. I tried removing the mod and it went back up to 30.
Not sure if this is just for me but otherwise the mod works wonders (especially since I like keeping my farm aesthetic lol)
I had the same issue. :( I have about 24 pigs in a large area, and they usually find several truffles throughout the day, and with this mod installed, they were barely finding any. It was really weird.
I decorate with grass all over my farm, so my animals are always intent on escaping to eat the grass outside their fenced area if I'm not quick with closing the gate. :/ This mod solved that problem, but created the truffles problem haha
it's happening for me too. i only have like 3 pigs, but they usually find 5 truffles a day. since i installed this mod they haven't found any at all! :(
From a code perspective, pigs "find" truffles by checking if they're fed, and if they're standing on a free tile. If they pass those checks, they then have a chance on every frame to drop one. I believe grass disqualifies tiles from being considered "free". Pathways definitely disqualify them. Pigs don't prioritize walking over empty tiles, so if you have a lot of grass and few empty tiles, it's entirely up to chance whether they'll walk over one of the empty tiles. I'm guessing that's the issue you're having. Because they aren't eating the grass, they just don't have as many free tiles to spawn truffles on.
I think a solution for this would be to exclude pigs from the mod then? They can eat grass and produce truffles on the same free tile they just created, right?
Super minor, but just thought I'd let you know there's an extra colon in the UpdateKeys entry in the manifest. Figured I should point that out in case some people think there's some error with the mod.
