Redesign the hay dispenser into a regular farm equipment with extra functionality.
Available hay dispenser
🎯 **Make hay management smarter and more convenient! **
This mod completely changes the way the hay dispenser works, removing some of the weird and inconsistent limitations from the original game. Nowadays, hay dispensers have become even more versatile – they can be used as small silos or with automatic feeding functions.
✨ Main functions
🌟 **Core Improvements:**
- Even if the feed trough is full, the player can still take at least 1 serving of hay from the hay dispenser
- Hay dispensers can now be picked up and moved!
- Daily automatic feeding will only work if there is a hay dispenser in the coop/shed
🌟 **Storage system optimization:**
- Each hay dispenser has a (configurable) 24 hay capacity, which counts towards the total farm hay storage
- No silo or hay dispenser required, players can harvest hay directly from the grass with a scythe, and the hay will drop as an item
- Hay can now be taken directly from the silo
🌟 **Practical functions:**
- Marnie now sells the hay dispenser as equipment, removed from the initial farm building data
- Most settings are configurable via GMCM
🎮 Instructions for use
Since hay dispensers now store hay capacity directly, if you pick up a dispenser and its missing capacity causes the hay storage to overflow, the excess hay will drop as an item pile.
🔧 Compatibility
Although compatibility has not been tested with other mods, it is expected to have high compatibility due to only minor modifications to the base game logic.

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.
