Equine Assistance
🐎 Features
Collect the system immediately
The beloved equine assistance mechanic from Red Dead Online has been completely ported to single-player mode! You can now easily gather herbs, berries, and mushrooms on horseback without ever having to dismount.
Smart map markers
When you approach a collectible plant on horseback, plant markers will automatically appear on the map (enabled by default, adjustable in the configuration file).
Random harvest quantity
Each time you collect, you will get 1-3 random numbers of plants, making the collection process more interesting!

🎮 How to use

- **Approaching the target plant**, a prompt to collect it from horseback will appear.
- **Your loyal mount** will collect plants with its mouth and give them to you
- **Supported collection types**: herbs, berries, mushrooms (exotic plants are not supported yet)

⚠️ Notes
Animation direction
- No matter which direction you approach the plant, the horse will always turn its head to the right to collect it
- This is a game mechanism limitation and cannot be modified.
Manual replacement
- This module will completely replace the "Super Horse Meal" manual
- If you need the original manual, please do not install the LML part
Collection status display
- If you have never collected a plant on foot but used this module to collect it, "Collect and Inspect" will still be displayed.
- This does not affect plants added to backpacks and Pokédex statistics
- Recommended for best results after completing all Herbalist Challenges

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
