About this mod

In the style of Tua's "Better Chickens," I present to you: MORE Better Chickens! Packed for Alternative Textures and Adopt'n'Skin, contains Tua's original sprites (see their permissions) AND additional chickens of my own, some based on real breeds.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Are you searching for more chickens as cute Tua's Better Chickens?  Other chicken sprites & replacers just not doing it for you, despite their high quality and ample variety?  I understand, my friend.  I was there too.  And then I suffered CHICKEN MADNESS.

Originally, I intended these for personal use, but Tua very kindly set their permissions to allow modification and re-uploading, so here we are!

The latest addition, the rainbow void and golden chickens, are on account of a request by dollynhoevida! Thank you so much for the idea!

What's included?

In the Adopt'n'Skin Package:


  • Tua's original chicken sprites, as ChickenTYPE_1 in each folder—the premier slot for our modding-forebearers
  • White Chickens: A Light Brahma chicken, a Gray Silkie, and a Paint Silkie
  • Brown Chickens: A retouched Partridge Silkie and a Red Silkie
  • Void Chickens: An Ayam Cemani (because everyone needs to make an Ayam Cemani; it's mandatory), and a Black Silkie
  • Blue Chickens: Four, yes 4, more blue chickens of varying degrees of blue and green and purple
  • Golden Chickens: Four, yes 4, more golden chickens, based on the D&D metallic dragons. Yes, the copper chicken has lil' verdigris wings. Why? I dunno. It's CHICKEN MADNESS. And if we can make the "chickens are just tiny dinosaurs" argument, certainly that applies to dragons too.
  • The base game baby chickens packed for Adopt'n'Skin, so that the adult skins will function and it's a surprise which chicken has hatched until adulthood (please feel free to replace these with a different baby chicken if another mod's offerings strike your fancy; that IS what Adopt'n'Skin is for, after all)
  • BONUS! A rainbow void chicken, and a rainbow golden chicken. The rainbow golden chicken reminds us of our community, and all the light that shines in our world, while the rainbow void chicken emanates shadow from its little void heart, whispering, "Go forth my children! Be gay! Do crimes!"

To install:


  • Make sure you have the latest version of Adopt'n'Skin installed

  • If you are only using these chickens for Adopt'n'Skin, just drag them into the your Adopt'n'Skin mod folder. Bear in mind this mod has 1 less BrownChicken skin than what Adopt'n'Skin comes with. 

-or-

  • If you are using other skins as well, you will have to rename these skins according to Adopt'n'Skin's naming scheme (i.e. WhiteChicken_X.png where X is the next free number) in order to avoid overwriting any skins you may already have.

In the [CP] Package(s):
Not yet packaged, but I am still intending to offer this in the future.

In the [AT] Package:
I owe PurpleChickadee a debt of gratitude for kindly packaging up the first version for Alternative textures!

  • Tua's original sprites
  • My edits, including the four new blue chickens, four new golden chickens, the Ayam Ceymani void chicken, the the Brahma white chicken, way too many Silkies, and now rainbow chickens!

To install:

  • Make sure you have Alternative Textures installed!
  • Unzip the mod, and drag the whole folder into your mods folder.

Bear in mind, if using Alternative Textures, you need to purchase and use the Scissors tool from Robin in order to apply these textures to your chickens!

The future is MORE?
My chicken madness has slowed, but not abated.  After inflicting Silkies and rainbow chickens upon the world, I seek new chicken breeds to commit to pixels.  If you have a suggestion, please leave a comment.  Bear in mind, I work slowly since I also have a plate piled high with book selling, comic-making, and editing—but I like a challenge as much as I like chickens.

Permissions restated:
My pixel art for this mod is released under the same conditions as Tua's.  Please feel free to use and redistribute them for any non-commercial (non-paid) use, just credit Tua as the original author if using their sprites, or me AND Tua if using mine.


A statement on using my work to generate AI content: most AI art "generation" isn't actually generating new work; since the algorithms used to remix artworks simply seem to pull text and imagery from the sources they were trained on without stating their origins, I interpret this to mean that it's use without attribution. Since I license my original and derivative pixel art for Stardew mods under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (Creative Commons non-commercial share-alike 4.0), use in
this fashion would violate the terms under which I open my work for use and sharing. It must be attributed, and the works you create with mine must be open for further change, remixing, and play by others. If an algorithm for AI content generation properly attributes source work from its training sets, I am 100% fine with my work being used to feed it as an input, so long as the product derived conforms to the rest of the license (non-commercial use, open to further remixing). If not, it's a violation of the terms under which I allow my work to be used
