## Description
A complete wildlife expansion for Valheim.</br>
LandAnimals transforms the wilderness of Valheim by introducing new animal species, living family groups,</br>
breeding systems, new resources, crafting materials and decorative items.</br>
Instead of a static world with only a few creatures, the lands become populated by dynamic wildlife ecosystems</br>
where animals live, reproduce, drop new resources, and integrate naturally into gameplay.</br>
Explore forests and meadows filled with life, hunt new creatures, gather their resources, and craft unique items from the materials they provide.</br>

<summary><b>TANNERY TANK</b> (<i>click to expand</i>)</summary> 

LandAnimals introduces a hide processing system through a special structure:</br>
</br>
<b>Tannery Tank</b></br>
The Tannery Tank allows players to process raw animal hides into usable crafting materials.</br>
This adds a new step to the hunting progression:</br>

• Hunt animals</br>
• Collect their hides</br>
• Process them in the Tannery Tank</br>
• Use the processed materials for crafting</br>

This mechanic makes hunting more meaningful and integrated into progression.</br>

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>REPRODUCTION SYSTEM</b> (<i>click to expand</i>)</summary> 

LandAnimals introduces a family-based reproduction system.

<b>For animals to reproduce:</b></br>

• A male and a female must be present</br>
• They must be close to each other</br>
• They must have access to appropriate food</br>

If these conditions are met, the animals can produce offspring, allowing players to create sustainable animal populations.</br>

<b>This system allows players to:</b></br>

• Create animal farms</br>
• Maintain breeding populations</br>
• Produce meat and hides sustainably</br>

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>DECORATIVE ITEMS</b> (<i>click to expand</i>)</summary> 

The mod also adds animal hide decorations, allowing players to decorate their bases with hunting trophies and rugs made from the animals they hunt.</br>
This gives hunters a way to display their achievements.</br>

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>IMMERSION</b> (<i>click to expand</i>)</summary> 

LandAnimals focuses on enhancing exploration by adding:</br>

• Living wildlife ecosystems</br>
• More environmental storytelling</br>
• Richer landscapes while traveling the world</br>

Whether you're exploring forests, hunting, or simply wandering through the land, the world will feel far more alive.</br>
