REQUEST Let grass starter spread on grassy soil

Now we can build on it, but I would love to make the grassy parts the dedicated grass space for my livestock.
I dont mind not planting on it, but is it possible to make grass starters spread? At the moment they never do.

 

You would have to open up the map in tIDE, and add a certain property to the tilesheet index of the grass tile(s). The flag "Diggable" set to T will allow you to till for planting crops and also allow the grass starters to spread. I do not know if there is a flag that allows only the grass however

 

There is not unfortunately.

 

That wouldnt be a problem, I mean, if the grass spreads I just dont plant crops on it, it is fine.
The grassy fields are just so lovely I immediately wanted to put my livestock there.

 

I could whip up a map edit for you, which map is it that you are using?
Also, would you like the grass to spread over the edges or stay within?

 

That would be lovely!
I am currently using the forest map (specially for the grassy parts ^^).
Maybe it would be better to stay within, as it could spread outward the farm (as some grassy areas are on the farm sides) and cause performance problems?
If there was no such problem, I would prefer it to spread, as it more realistically would need tending to. ^^

 

Here you go. Let me know how it works for you and if you have any problems
Make sure to keep a backup of the original file from the game!

 

Thank you so much, it works like a charm for me. ^^

 

I love how it always seems like when I want something in the game, someone else asks for it and someone else delivers, so I just have to sit back and wait. LOL. Thanks Kattia, this is just what I needed!

 

YES! I've put my barn in the lower left grassy area and was just wondering "Why on earth can't we have grass on grass?!" [emoji14] Seems like a real oversight by CA. I'll be trying this mod out tomorrow

I put my barn in the top left and coop in the lower left, it's absolutely PERFECT placement. I'm so hyped. lol

 

This is awesome. Is there any chance you could modify the River Farm as well?!

 

Id rather not, Im sorry
I had to edit all the individual grass tiles on the tile sheet and it was a bit more work than I anticipated. Its not terribly difficult however and Im sure you could do it yourself if you looked into it a bit, its just a bit tedious and time consuming Check out the Map Editing Discussion thread if you want to try to do it yourself
