To Pasture And Back V1.0 fs25-mods

Description:

In FS25, barns with attached pastures allow animals to roam freely between the barn and the pasture or meadow. However, standalone barns keep livestock confined inside. 'To Pasture and Back' changes that. This mod simulates the experience of letting animals, which are normally locked in the barn, roam freely across fields and pastures suited to each species, especially useful when a barn isn't connected to its own pasture. Send your animals to a field where they can graze, forage, wander, and rest. While the herd is out on pasture, only the youngest animals stay behind in the barn. When you recall them, the animals return to their stalls. Feeding, breeding, and production continue as usual inside the barn. The mod manages the visual aspect without affecting your farm’s economy. All livestock are supported (cows, sheep, goats, pigs, horses). Chickens are excluded. Designed for the base game animal husbandry system. **FEATURES:** - Send herds from any barn to a suitable field: cows and horses graze grass, sheep and goats browse rougher pasture, pigs forage on mowed fields and stubble. - Collect multiple herds and drop them one per key press: stack compatible species on one field or spread them across different fields. - Young animals that can't leave the barn stay inside and remain visible in their stalls while the rest of the herd is out. - Animals avoid fields with growing crops; grass at any stage and harvested stubble are acceptable. - Adjust how many animals are visible at barns and pastures, per player (automatic selection based on graphics quality, or manual setting from 25 to 500). - For fields without fences, decorative temporary fences mark the grazing area (visual only, no collision, toggleable). - Manual recall at any time (Ctrl+K). - Optional 10 PM curfew and 6 PM dusk reminder as safety nets for forgotten herds. - Customizable on-screen messages (size, color, on/off). - Multiplayer supported. - Saves and loads across sessions.
