Hello, I appreciate the effort for those who don't know how to do it, but I won't download a mod with Lua scripts when a simple XML modification suffices.In fact, even on consoles, chickens and sheep can produce manure without Lua scripts. All the best.
That’s kind of the point here, is it not? :) If you want to edit XMLs feel free of course. But personally, I don’t want to open up and change the husbandries’ XMLs individually and have to redo the same changes when mods are updated over and over again, when I can fix it once with a script mod (on PC).
It’s in the same vein as my Adjust Storage Capacity. Adjusting the capacity of storages can be done in the XML, but why bother when it can be done faster, easier and permanently across mod updates, and doesn’t exclude those who don’t want to or are unable to edit the XMLs.
The contents of the script are, of course, also available for those security-conscious who want to check what they are installing. And in today’s world it is easy to point ChatGPT or similar at the scripts and ask “is this safe to use” for those who don’t read lua.
Re-edit it after every update? I use the same `animals.xml` across all maps; there’s no need for updates other than changing the file path in `map.xml`. Since FS22, all my animal buildings can be cleaned from the inside, so there are no manure heaps to connect. The only changes made to `animals.xml` were for the addition of Highland cattle and the upcoming arrival of Brahmans. Besides, two updates over the course of an FS title isn't the end of the world. I also have liquid milk for all animals including sheep without using any Lua scripts, and I don't use AI. And if you use AI for your modding, then that's all the more reason not to download it. Don't get me wrong I don't mean to be unpleasant, but I've always believed in earning things through merit. I just don't subscribe to the mentality of the new generation regardless of the country where everything has to be done for them; that said, I reiterate that your modding work is still useful.
