cannot replace or remove animals

[RicardoM]

no options to replace or remove animal, and after one night I reopen the game my cows and pigs all became same colour cow.

From the patch notes:

"Build 1.0.5 - Fixed animals magically converting into cows when saving/loading. This only happened if you moved a feeder that already had animals occupying it. Unfortunately, this fix only applies to future savefiles and it doesn't fix past savefiles."

You can start several games. You can also edit your save file to change the animals

Would love to know how to do this because I would also like to get rid of my farms. I just got the pig farm achievement and REALLY want to get rid of all these excess animals that I absolutely don't need.

I know I'm late with the solution, but I found a way to remove the animals by editing the save file. You just have to go to the save file in AppData\LocalLow\MisterMorrisGames\Rusty's Retirement, the last save file is a .txt (you can save the game and see which one is the last one to be updated, in my case it is called "H0-2024-12-25-3-58-57.txt") and inside the file we use the search tool to search: "animalInfo" : [

By performing that search we will get something like this:

"animalInfo" : [
{
"animalId" : -1
},{
"animalId" : -1
},{
"animalId" : 7
},{
"animalId" : 1
},{
"animalId" : 3
},{
"animalId" : 5
}

Here you just have to change those values ​​to -1, since -1 is an empty space in the corresponding slot of the feeder. If you set all of them to -1 you can remove the feeder later in game without any problems.
