It would be nice if there were more complexity to animal husbandry, but in the mean time you can check out the Farm Life mod. It adds some additional depth to livestock in the game.

FYI- this is a frequently requested addition! I added a recipe that uses a saw to make two sticks from one board. This simple recipe was a huge quality of life improvement, but mostly because at the time I was building thatch roofs from the Grass Stuff mod, which uses a LOT of sticks! It is a simple recipe to make or there are a couple mods that include it already built for you. But yes, I'd like to see this recipe in the core game. Lots of sticks get used in construction and it seems silly to spend so much time breaking trees or walking around picking them up when you already have tools to make them.

I could imagine a Manure Bin item that would hold 128 (2 stacks of 64) "manure units". Small poop would be 1 unit, Medium is 2 and Large is 4 manure units. Use the bin as storage or place 1 block of soil and one stack of manure and seal it to make 2 compost over time.

wow, you weren't kidding about male hares being "competitive". I woke up to find that one of the babies matured into a male overnight and murdered all his siblings by morning. shock. horror. breakfast. I'm fairly new to Farm Life... should I separate all the babies to see which ones mature into males? Was this just one horrible but unusual incident? Maybe a male hare's aggression could be linked to their satiation so that if the bunnies are well-fed, a Rabbit Rancher would have time to ID the males and pull them from the litter?

same here. Done a fair bit of digging, but no worms.

When you drop a food item to attract the animal's attention then pick up the food item, the AI will path to the location where the item was dropped then "eat" the item that was there... even though it isn't. There should probably be some sort of check that the food item is still there and hasn't been swiped by some other entity. For reproducing the problem, I was doing this using dried grass with rams and hares. But I assume it'd happen with other foods and other critters. Thanks for the fun mod! Appreciate your work!
