Cow Feeding Lineup V1.7.2

Cow Feeding Lineup is a Farming Simulator 25 script mod that keeps visible cows aligned around feeding-place nodes, so the herd appears gathered along the feed line instead of standing randomly around the building.

Features

• Improves visual presentation around cow feeding areas.
• Helps keep cow food lineup behavior predictable.
• Best suited for realistic dairy farm layouts.
• Works around cow barn feeding-place nodes so visible cows stay closer to the feed line.
• Multiplayer status: Single-player only.
• The active gameplay logic is written in Lua.

How To Install

• Download the ZIP file.
• Keep FS25_CowFeedingLineup.zip packed as a ZIP and place it in Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/mods.
• Start Farming Simulator 25 and enable Cow Feeding Lineup in the savegame mod list.
• Load a backup save first.
• Keep only one copy of FS25_CowFeedingLineup.zip in the active Farming Simulator 25 mods folder.
• For terrain, animal, or vehicle behavior scripts, test on a backup save first.

Compatibility and Testing

Test this animal-care script carefully with other livestock, feeding, dirt, barn, pasture, and husbandry mods, because two systems can sometimes update the same animal area or daily routine. Compatibility testing should include the map, any mods that touch the same gameplay area, and a save-and-reload check before the setup is trusted on a long-running farm.

Test it by loading the animal area, feeding or bedding where relevant, waiting through normal time, checking outputs or markers, then saving and reloading the same placeable. Change only one thing at a time and write down the map name, game version, mod version, and other active scripts that affect animal care gameplay. If the first test looks good, save the game, exit to the menu, reload the save, and repeat the same action once more.

If an animal marker, feed plane, food type, pallet, manure area, or visible animal does not appear, test with only this mod and the map enabled before blaming the save. The second pass helps catch restore problems, missing XML paths, delayed script errors, and visual changes that only appear after reload.
