Livestock

Chickens and Shelters

• Improved Chicken House and Coop entry, fixing hens stopping at reachable entrances.
• Fixed shelter collision issues around stairs, block edges, and corners.
• Corrected the entrance barrier direction on occupied Chicken Houses.
• Idle movement now respects active resting destinations and avoids choosing shelter stairs or roofs.
• Fixed hens returning to shelters before reaching food or water. Feeding breaks now continue until both needs are satisfied.
• With starvation damage enabled, chickens interrupt rest when critically hungry and thirsty. Stored shelter occupants now receive starvation damage correctly.

Roosts

• Improved access to middle segments and upper perches.
• Adjusted resting posture and collision to support occupied tiers spaced half a block apart.
• Chickens and roosters now use a tucked resting pose while perched during rain.
• Improved visual connections to fences and fixed green or pink texture strips.

Nests and Incubation

• Added collection-only nest inventories.
• Hay nests now hold 10 eggs; wild twig nests retain their 5-egg capacity.
• Fixed fertilized-egg data loss and duplication when breaking Incubation nests or extracting eggs with hoppers.
• Improved nest discovery, arrival, and nighttime resting.
• Linked chicks can now shelter with their mother in Incubation nests, preserving their identity and growth.
• Natural nest creation now waits until the hen is close to laying.
• Lowered shelter egg previews into the straw.

Configuration and Compatibility

• Organized configuration into mechanics, animals, world, visuals, support, and debug sections.
• Added automatic migration and backups for older configuration files.
• Added an option to disable land salting and a configurable list of excluded salt items.
• Spelunkery salt is excluded from land salting by default, preserving its original interaction behavior.
