Modding:Animal data

Source

Animal data is stored in Content\Data\FarmAnimals.xnb, which can be unpacked using xnbcli.

Here's an example for reference:

"Dinosaur": "1/0/107/-1/none/8/32/48/32/8/32/48/32/0/false/Coop/16/16/16/16/1/8/null/644/1000/Dinosaur/Coop"

Basic format

Each entry in the data contains a key and a value made up of many fields.

Key

An animal's type must be a key that exists in the data. Each key in the data must be unique.

Value

All entries share the same value format, which cannot be re-ordered. Each field is explained below.
