New in 1. 3. 0: Animal Manage

You can access a new menu through the hay icon top right of shop: the animal manage menu.

In this menu, you can move animals between buildings conveniently, it also allows moving animals across locations.

Menu Overview

The player facing feature of Livestock Bazaar is the custom animal shop menu, which replaces Marnie's animal purchase menu (and is used in all custom shops).

Check the image section for previews of this menu.

Animal Selection

Animals are displayed in a grid with prices listed. Clicking on one goes to the next page for building and skin selection.

If you cannot afford an animal, they will be greyed out. If you lack the required buildng, they will be shown as a silhouette.

To help you find an animal, there is a button to change the sorting mode, and a search box to find by name.

Sort Modes:

• []Name: alphabetical name sort.[/]

  []Price: price sort, will sort by currency first, then value.[/]

  []House: house (e.g. coop, barn) sort.[/]

  Each sort mod has ascending and descending modes.

  Target Building

  Once an animal is selected, the menu shows a list of farm buildings (sorted by location) that the animal can live in. You must choose one in order to enable the purchase button.

  Alternate Purchase & Skins

  Some animals like cows have alternate purchase variants. Instead of randomly choosing one, this mod allows you to decide whether you want a brown cow or a white cow.

  Conditions for alternate purchase is respected, so you must have seen Shane's event before you can buy a blue chicken, unless you make a mod to allow blue chickens to be purchased separately.

  Mods can also add alternate skins for an animal (the ones shown here is Elle's Cuter Barn Animals), you can select these with the arrow buttons. There is also option to get a weighted random skin. There are no skins in vanilla, so this feature is only relevant for mods that add skins.

  Animal Name

  The animal name is set through a text input. You can press the dice icon to randomise the name.

  Purchase

  Once you have finished the choices, press the purchase button to complete buying your new animal. The menu will stick around until you run out of money or space for the animal, so you can buy as many as desired. A new random name is generated with each purchase.
