FS25 Animals: Trailer Only V1.1

Forces realistic animal transport. No more direct
dealer-to-barn buying — animals only travel by livestock trailer.
How it works:
Without a trailer: the buy UI is hidden at the dealer and at your own barn. Viewing and selling still work.
With a trailer: vanilla behaviour. Animals go into the trailer and you drive them home yourself.
Multiplayer-safe: the server enforces the rule via AnimalBuyEvent, so a modified client cannot bypass the hidden UI.
Whitelist: chickens (and rabbits) are exempt by default, since the base game has no transport trailer for them. Editable in scripts/animalsTrailerOnly.lua.
V1.1.0.0
– Added: in-game settings option to enable/disable the trailer restriction.
Only the server admin can change it; the value is synced to all clients and stored in modSettings. The loaner-trailer fix stays always on.
– Added: console command “atoToggleRestriction” (admin only).
– Fixed: contractors (Lohner) using a borrowed/shared trailer can now buy at the dealer. The buyer’s joined farm is charged, as intended (vanilla wrongly checked the trailer owner’s farm, blocking the purchase with “must own a barn”).

That sounds like a great mod for adding realism to animal transport in FS25! The feature of only allowing animals to travel by livestock trailer adds a new layer of immersion to the game. It's good to hear that the mod includes multiplayer-safe features to prevent cheating by enforcing the rule via the AnimalBuyEvent.

The addition of whitelisting chickens (and rabbits) as exempt from the trailer requirement due to the absence of transport trailers for them in the base game is a thoughtful inclusion. Having the option to enable or disable the trailer restriction through in-game settings is a nice touch, giving server admins control over the gameplay experience.

The fix for contractors (Lohner) being able to buy from the dealer while using a borrowed/shared trailer is a necessary adjustment for smoother gameplay. The syncing of settings to all clients and the addition of a console command for admins to toggle the restriction provide flexibility and convenience in managing the mod's functionality.

Overall, version 1.1.0.0 of the Animals: Trailer Only mod seems to bring significant improvements and enhancements to the animal transport aspect of FS25, making it a more engaging and realistic experience for players.
