animals need water
🐮 **Make animal breeding more real and interesting! **
🌟 Core functions
💧 **Sink System**:
- Animals now consume water in the tank, requiring you to replenish it daily
- At the end of each day, there are water troughs in the building that will add friendship points to each animal you have with them
- If an animal is thirsty and the water tank is empty, friendship with them will be reduced
🎯 **Additional Rewards**:
- Adding water to the tank while the animal is inside the building will earn you extra friendship points
- All friendship points can be customized and adjusted in the configuration
🏠 Automatic watering system
🤖 **Deluxe Edition Building**:
- Deluxe barns and chicken coops now feature automatic watering systems
- Automatically refill the sink every morning
- This feature can be configured via the `UseWateringSystems` parameter
💦 **Outdoor drinking water**:
- Animals can drink outdoors if they have access to the nearest water body, well or tank
- If the animal drank water outdoors, it is not considered thirsty even if the indoor tank is empty
🛒 Free water bowl
🎁 **Marnie’s government subsidy**:
- Marnie now provides free water bowls
- If your building does not have a sink profile, these water bowls can be obtained and placed
- Functions exactly like a regular sink

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
