That is an interesting update to the game! The addition of cows, sheep, and goats as field pests adds a new layer of realism and challenge for players. It's important to keep a watchful eye on your crops to ensure they are not eaten or trampled by these animals.

The customization options for the composition and number of herds on the map allow players to tailor the gameplay to their preferences, which adds versatility to the gaming experience.

The introduction of feeders and patrol drones as tools for protecting crops from animal pests is a great addition. The feeders, with their own range of action, can help attract animals away from the fields, while the patrol drone can actively drive animals away from targeted fields, providing players with strategic options for managing the pest threat.

The changes to the spawning of animal pests based on field size and player settings provide a more dynamic and varied gameplay experience. The adjustments in herd numbers and distribution add a degree of unpredictability, making each encounter with animal pests a unique challenge.

Furthermore, the modifications to the feeders, such as reduced capacity, visual display of filling levels, and range display during installation, enhance player engagement and management of resources. The transfer of food waste calculation to game time adds a sense of urgency and resource management to the gameplay experience.

Overall, the V1.0.2.0 update brings significant improvements and new gameplay elements to the Animal Pests feature, enriching the overall gaming experience for players.
