Smart Hutch

Description
Smart Hutch adds automation and quality-of-life features for your chicken hutch:

- Auto Close: Closes the hutch when it gets dirty and releases chickens so they don't get sick.
- Auto Clean: Automatically cleans the hutch when the door is closed and opens it once cleaning is complete.
- Auto Heal: Heals chickens inside the hutch with customizable health levels.
- Passive Clean: Adds a passive reduction to dirtiness for balance.
- Timed Door: Opens and closes the hutch automatically at configurable hours.

All features and thresholds can be customized in both the mod settings and sandbox options.
Mod options simply mirror sandbox settings and cannot override multiplayer server configurations.

@CiTaLk ty :3

@ppernsteingolem
These are valid ideas, but the mod is meant to compensate for the vanilla hutch nerf. Requiring power for functioning would only exacerbate the nerf. I didn't quite understand the part about the silo and the water.

Sollte ein aktives Stromnetz benötigen. Dafür aber könnte man einen Wasser und Futtersilo anschließen,der regelmäßig Futter spendet. Ist das eine Idee? :steamhappy:

@PeterHammerman Agree. Dirt buildup like this does not make sense.

@NovusNox The triggers use animal zones. If an animal zone includes a hutch it will work.

can this be added to ongoing save?
