Hydromancerx Completely forgot termites were in the game! Its been added.

VulcanoLV

If you are adding worms please add termites and grubs!
Thanks in advance!

GreenPig Done! I want to keep this mod just related to chicken feed and I'm not very familiar with Primitive Survival, maybe ask the PS dev for a worm farm.

💬 VulcanoLVAuthor, Mar 21st at 8:58 AM

GreenPig I've never played Primitive Survival so I'll have to have a look at it, but that should be possible!

💬 GreenPig, Mar 20th at 5:24 PM

Hi! If you'll ever make a compatibility with Primitive Survival, you can add the worms as potential chicken food and maybe a worm farm.
Thank You!

Pallanza

Thats a good idea, I've added all the edible vegetables as recipes.

@VulcanoLV

Thanks for implementing my suggestion, if you ever want to expand on that and add additional non-grain/fruit crops that can be used to make chicken feed, I researched the various crops in Vintage Story and divided them into two groups; ones safe to feed to chickens and ones that cause health issues/kill them:

Edible

Turnips (mature plants/roots only but that isn't relevant in VS, already added by you)

Carrots

Pumpkins (use the slices instead of the entire pumpkin)

Cabbage (mature plants only but that isn't relevant in VS)

Parsnips

 

Toxic

Onions (will cause anemia)

Bellpeppers (everything but the fruit flesh is toxic to chickens, and the fruit isn't well liked by them anyways)

Cassava (the VS variety is the one that requires long soaking to remove cyanide concentrations and is therefore harmful/lethal to chickens, although they could eat the processed meal)

Thanks for doing it ! :)
And another thanks because I would be able to understand what you've done. I am going trying to understand how modding works. I tried to make some patches yesterday but nothing worked...

And for further updates (it doesn't need to be updated immediately as it's only is a very smal text ^^), this the french:

{
"item-chickenfeed": "Aliments pour volailles"
}

Laerinok Yes its intended for the feed not to spoil, I based it off the chicken pellets you'd buy at the pet store, never had that spoil unless you got water in the bag somehow.

💬 VulcanoLVAuthor, Mar 15th at 1:20 AM

Laerinok , AzuliBluespots ,

Done and done!

💬 Laerinok, Mar 14th at 4:53 PM

I was thinking the same thing than AzuliBluespot, but with ducks too from The Critter's Package 😅
Moreover I noticed that chicken feed doesn't spoil over the time whereas other feed does. Is it intended ?

💬 AzuliBluespots, Mar 14th at 4:23 PM

I know this is for chickens, but why not expand it to "birdfeed" and make it compatible with other small bird mods like "more animals"? There's pheasants, turkeys and more in there. Great idea btw.

💬 VulcanoLVAuthor, Mar 14th at 7:49 AM

Pallanza Done! Let me know if the numbers feel balanced, I'd like to add a config file in the future so people could just adjust the numbers themselves but I still gotta learn that so 🤷‍♂️.

💬 Pallanza, Mar 14th at 1:33 AM

Great mod idea, do you think you can add a second recipe for the feed that uses one grain and a turnip? Turnips are another common food given to chickens alongside grains in the form of their greens and the raw whole/grated tuber, and they're healthier for chickens compared to an all flax-diet which we can already do in base game.

💬 Bognof, Mar 13th at 7:06 AM

great mod thank you for making this. I was just wonder if you could make chicken spear im having a hard time finding flint
