Also, the large wooden structure in the top left of the screenshot is basically used as a warehouse, where most of the hay is stored.

@DoveLord which version of the game are you playing on? Are you able to share screenshots of your settlement?

I just did a new test. This time I removed all mods (including this one) and tested it on vanilla.
As a result, animals do eat resources like food, but at least they don't eat the plants that villagers are growing.
So it seems like this mod is the cause of the animals constantly eating plants.

Of course the mod is enabled. It wasn't difficult at all since I've already used many other mods. I've tested the mod by unsubscribing and resubscribing several times to see it works properly.
I even removed all other mods to avoid conflicts and tested it with only this mod enabled in a new settlement, but the same problem persists.
It's applies to all animals, pets or domestic.
And the hay is always stored outdoors, with just a roof and no walls or fences, so that the animals can easily access it.

@DoveLord - please make sure to enable the mod in the in game menu on the start screen before starting your save.

If the mod is properly enabled please make sure to share more information including game version, if the animals are domestic or pets, where and how the food is stored, etc so I can look into it further. I am not seeing any issues on the normal or experimental branches, but I can't always think of every possible scenario so I could have missed some weird behavior.

There is plenty of accessible hay nearby, but my cows and goats prefer the growing barley plants.

Unfortunately I am not able to replicate it without more information. I tested both donkeys and cows (I'm presuming you mean pets not domestic animals if they are eating your settler's food?) and even if the fodder was significantly further away then a meal they still went to go eat the fodder. I would suggest double checking to make sure the mod is still enabled on the main menu mod management window just in case.

the mod clearly worked the day I installed it, the domesticated animals only ate hay or in the feeders. on the other hand, after reloading my save another time, the domesticated cows and donkeys started eating the food intended for the settlers in the cold room again, abandoning the hay placed outside

@Orgald can you clarify by what you mean by granary? What specifically are they eating? Where is the hay located vs the granary? Was it working previously for you?

hey is this working actually ? cause my domesticated cows prefer eating in my granary instead of hay... ;)

To add to this - all mods that will be broken by the upcoming update are already marked. Anything not marked as broke will not need an update for version 0.24

@diegomarino80 this mod should not need any updates going into version 0.24

Hi, will you update this mod for the new version?

A god sent. Thank you for your work.

Thanks for the update :3 the mod is working

@Laxzure = ラーズル Just dropping a note that the devs patched an error on their end that prevented the code from being read and I cleaned up and updated for the mod compatibility features on my end so it should be working again! Make sure to unsubscribe and resubscribe to get the update because Steam -_-

@Laxzure - checked and yes, something in one of the updates broke it. Trying to look into it and will get it updated when I figure out why it's broke

needed this so much, thank you

Not working :/
even i fill the entire floor with hay and animal food, they still eat crops first

YESS!!! I'm very grateful for this mod, thanks! 5 stars for you, fella :D

不要再让宠物吃你想让它们吃的东西了，彻底改变动物的饮食习惯。这将影响所有动物（野生、家养和宠物），但不应该导致任何野生动物饿死。

大型草本动物（鹿，山羊等）更喜欢动物饲料和干草堆（如储存或槽）作为他们的首要任务。野生食物来源优先考虑干草植物，灌木作为第二优先级，所有玩家种植的植物，如胡萝卜，卷心菜等都是最低优先级。

小型草本动物（野兔、鸡等）与大型草本动物有着相似的优先权。

猫不再吃蜂蜜或牛奶（因为这两种东西对猫都不好）。动物饲料是他们的首要任务，其次是尸体、肉类和鱼类，而你的熟食则是最不重要的。

肉食者（狗和狼）对动物饲料的优先级略高，其次是尸体，其次是肉和鱼，然后是熟食的优先级最低。

熊、狐狸和老鼠的饮食没有改变。

This is a pretty cool mechanic thats actually missing in the game
Stay creative and go on with more releases
