Farm Life is a Vintage Story mod by jakecool19. Farm Life expands animal husbandry with hunger, pregnancy, fertility, shearing, manure, and inherited traits for livestock.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want livestock care to matter beyond breeding and feeding on demand. It is especially useful for farms built around selective breeding and reliable trough management.
What Farm Life adds
Farm Life gives livestock a saturation-based hunger system. Animals can graze, eat dropped food or trough contents, hunt suitable prey, and follow a player carrying something appealing. Food remains important while animals are away from the loaded area, so a stocked trough becomes part of dependable farm care.
Hunger affects breeding, growth, and milking. Pregnant females consume more food and may miscarry if their saturation or health becomes too low, while babies stop growing when hungry. Animals also have limited reproductive potential, and chickens can eventually become unable to lay or incubate eggs.
Every farmable animal receives inherited traits for health, speed, digestion, hunger, and resistance. Inspecting an animal reveals its ratings, allowing selective breeding for stronger, faster, or more efficient stock. Saturation loss also produces manure, which can be collected and used to fertilize crops.
