FS25 Adjust the Animal Food system v1.0

Adjust Animal Food allows you to customize the animal feeding system in Farming Simulator 2025 through an XML configuration file. Why shouldn’t chickens eat oats if you want them to? Or make grass more effective for cows? This mod gives you control over food effectiveness, crop assignments, mixed feed recipes, and TMR compositions without editing map files.

Supports multiplayer.

Notes
This mod requires XML editing. There is no in-game UI. Configuration is done by editing an XML file that’s automatically generated in your savegame folder. If you’re not comfortable editing XML files, this mod may not be for you.
Beta Software: Please back up your savegames before use. The mod is fully functional but still in beta testing.

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
