Changes

A cutscene will trigger where [[Marnie]] will be waiting outside the farm's door with a dog or cat on the first sunny Wednesday or Friday morning in [[Spring]] after earning {{Price|1000}}. The [[Farmhouse]] must be exited between 6am and 9:30am to trigger this event. By the 20th of Spring the event will trigger, regardless of if the player made enough money. Adopting the pet is optional. Any name can be chosen for the pet the moment it is adopted, though its name cannot be changed after adopting it. If the player has not yet met Marnie before this cutscene, the meeting will count as an introduction.

Animals that live in barns and coops have a friendship rating that can be seen by right-clicking the animal after petting (while holding [[hay]], this window cannot be opened), or in the Animals tab when paused. The rating is out of 5 hearts, is shown in half-heart increments, and is taken into account when deciding how likely that animal is to produce higher-quality products if that animal is capable of producing them in the first place.

Animals that live in barns and coops have a friendship rating that can be seen by right-clicking the animal after petting (while holding [[hay]], this window cannot be opened). The Animals tab in the player menu allows the player to see their friendship rating with all their animals, as well as whether they have petted them that day. The rating is out of 5 hearts, is shown in half-heart increments, and is taken into account when deciding how likely that animal is to produce higher-quality products if that animal is capable of producing them in the first place.

Each half-heart is equivalent to 100 points of friendship, making the maximum value of Friendship 1000.

===Food===

===Food===

Farm animals who live in barns and coops need to eat every day, one "portion" per animal. They can eat either fresh [[grass]] (if allowed outside) or [[hay]] (if kept inside or are unable to find grass). If eating fresh grass, coop animals need to eat 2 tufts of grass (1 tuft of Blue Grass), and barn animals need to eat 4 (2 tufts of Blue Grass).<ref name="food" /><ref name="grass" /> They do not die if not fed, but become [[#Mood|upset]] and cease production of animal products until feeding resumes. They do not need to be fed on a [[Festivals|festival]] day (except the [[Night Market]]), though they will eat grass if left outside. No hay will be consumed if they are left inside.
