**Salt’s Animal Farm 0.2** This update focuses heavily on server performance, especially for crowded farms with many animals packed into small areas. **Performance** - Reduced CPU load from animal comfort pathfinding in crowded farms. - Added throttling so animals do not constantly search for new comfort/space targets. - Added a shared per-tick pathfinding budget for comfort tasks to prevent large groups from overwhelming the server thread. - Added a per-search path check limit so one animal cannot spend too much time evaluating comfort spots. - Added caching for nearby threat checks to reduce repeated hostile/fear calculations. - Improved behavior gating so disabled systems skip more work instead of still running partial logic. **New Config Options** - Added `comfortSpaceRetargetIntervalTicks`. Controls how often an active comfort task can search for a better space target. Default: `40`. - Added `comfortMaxPathChecksPerSearch`. Limits how many pathfinding checks one comfort search can perform before deferring. Default: `12`. - Added `comfortPathfindingBudgetPerTick`. Sets a shared comfort pathfinding budget across animals each server tick. Default: `64`. - Added `comfortOutcomeCopyRadius`. When greater than `0`, animals can copy a recent direct comfort result from another nearby animal instead of recalculating everything. Default: `0`, disabled. - Added `onlyBredAnimalsUseWeightAndComfort`. When enabled, only animals born from breeding use the weight, comfort, sickness, fear, and custom loot systems. Wild animals act vanilla. Default: `false`. **Behavior Changes** - Hide-from-rain behavior is now disabled by default to reduce unexpected pathfinding load. - Animals that copy a comfort result do not count as valid sources for future copied results, preventing copy chains. - Comfort outcome sharing only uses animals that directly completed their own comfort task within the last 5 minutes. - Animals born from breeding now persist that status, so the bred-only config works across saves/reloads. **Compatibility** - Changes were applied across all supported versions and loaders: - Minecraft `1.20.1` Fabric - Minecraft `1.20.1` Forge - Minecraft `1.21.1` Fabric - Minecraft `1.21.1` NeoForge - Minecraft `1.21.11` Fabric - Minecraft `1.21.11` NeoForge - Minecraft `26.1.2` Fabric - Minecraft `26.1.2` NeoForge **Build** - Version bumped from `0.1` to `0.2`. - All loader builds completed successfully.
