Config Reference (Configuration)

Parent: Configuration Index | Home

This page is optional for players who want to tune behavior. If you only want to play, use the main guides instead.

For command-level guidance first, see:

Group Mapping (including Beast)

Group	Interaction	Companion	Needs	Happiness	Breeding	Traits	Leveling	Talents	Command
Livestock (harvest-capable)	AHIntLivestock	AHCompMain	AHNeedsMain	AHHappMain	AHBreedLivestock	AHTraitLivestock	AHLevelLivestock	AHTalentLivestock	AHCommLivestock
Livestock (general)	AHIntLivestock	AHCompMain	AHNeedsMain	AHHappMain	AHBreedLivestock	AHTraitLivestockGeneral	AHLevelLivestockGeneral	AHTalentLivestockGeneral	AHCommLivestock
Neutral	AHIntNeutral	AHCompNeutral	AHNeedsMain	AHHappNeutral	AHBreedNeutral	AHTraitNeutral	AHLevelNeutral	AHTalentNeutral	AHCommLivestock
Beast	AHIntBeast	AHCompMain	AHNeedsBeast	AHHappBeast	AHBreedBeast	AHTraitBeast	AHLevelBeast	AHTalentBeast	AHCommBeast
Critter	AhIntCritter	AHCompNeutral	AHNeedsMain	AHHappMain	AHBreedNeutral	AHTraitNeutral	AHLevelCritter	AHTalentCritter	AHCommLivestock

Harvest-capable livestock configs cover chicken, cow, mosshorn, sheep, and skrill families. General livestock configs cover livestock families without harvest interactions, so they do not roll Bounty traits or spend points on harvest-only talents.

Deprecated Naming Note

Older Tw*Config_AnimalHusbandry_* asset ids/names are deprecated and were replaced by the AH* config file set above.

Safety Tips Before Editing Configs

1. Make a backup of the file.
2. Change one section at a time.
3. Restart and verify startup logs.
4. Test one species before broad rollout.

Fast Tuning Targets

• Too much breeding: raise BaseCooldownMinutes.
• Too little breeding: lower cooldown and improve care quality.
• Growth too slow/fast: tune TimeToFullGrownMinutes per role.
• Leveling too slow/fast: tune BaseXp, GrowthFactor, and each XpSources section.
• Talents too strong/weak: tune TalentPoints and the multipliers in the active AHTalent config.
• Overcrowding: lower MaxNearbySameType on sensitive species.
