Swedish Black chicken - New Domestic Species (1.20)

The site wouldn't let me type the name correctly in the title...

But I present to you:

Bohuslän-Dals svarthöna

or simply in English

Svarthöna chicken

Swedish Black chicken

Thank you for checking out this mod, it is the first new animal I've made for the game!

This mod adds a new species for your zoo to play around with. The species is a type of domesticated chicken, which is only found in Sweden. The Bohuslän-Dals svarthöna is related to the far more known Ayam cemani chicken breed, but due to being developed in a Nordic region the breed is cold hardy which is reflected on the biomes and temperature requirements in-game.

This mod is based on the official Sussex Chicken animal found in Planet Zoo's Barnyard Animal pack, and thus will use the same animations, functions, sounds, and habitat objects such as enrichment and food as the Sussex Chicken.

However, it isn't a simple copy and paste job. The models and textures have been edited to better portray the Svarthöna breed. I've also rewritten most of the zoopedia, as well as changed how big the animal is in the game.

So all in all:

New chicken breed being added! Woo!

New looks due to editing of textures and models!

New zoopedia, with information grabbed from Wikipedia and various Swedish sites about chickens!

Current supported languages:

Swedish will come soon, I've been too lazy to write it

How to install:

Open the zip file and place the ChickenSvarthoena folder in your ovldata folder, the file path sound be C:/Program (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Planet Zoo/win64/ovldata

DO NOT change any file or folder names, or just place the whole zip file, or combine folders, it will break the mods and/or your game!

You'll also need to have ACSE installed for the mod to work, as well as the Barnyard DLC for Planet Zoo (and of course basegame Planet Zoo...)

Again, the mod is based on the Sussex chicken, so it will use that animal's enrichment and similar!

If you find a bug with the mod, don't hesitate to contact me about it and I'll look into it, but please try and confirm it isn't an error on your part that might cause the bug.

No GenAI was or ever will be used by me in creating this mod.
