What is Satyr Farm?
SatyrFarm is a complete farming system for roleplay or just for fun in Opensimulator regions. It contains farm plants, trees, storage, processing machines as well as multiple breedable animalsWhere can I Get It?
You can get the current up-to-date farm package from the OpenSimWorld Region: https://opensimworld.com/hop/74730-OpenSimWorld. The package contains the complete farm as well as some documentation and extra tools.How do i Set up the basics?
Easy! When you get a copy of SatyrFarm, then you can rez the Satyr Farm Platforms which have all the basics ready. Make sure you rez it in a large empty space, as it contains a lot of stuff. As a general rule, we suggest that you start growing some crops before growing many animals, otherwise your animals might get really hungry! You should read the quickstart guide for your first steps.How do I make animals
The package contains the SF Animal Rezzer box, which is used to rez new animals for your farm.How do I feed the animals
The animals use various Feeder objects to feed themselves. The feeders are included in the package. Click your animal -> Options -> Help to find out which Feeder to use. Each feeder’s menu lists the foods you can add to it.My animals are spinning in place
If an animal seems to be spinning in place, it is because you have moved it manually. Click “Stop” to have it start wandering again.What is the HUD for?
The HUD is for eating food that you make in the Kitchen, Oven, Coffee maker etc. Clicking “Consume” to try to eat anything that is around you.What is the SF Buffet for? What is the Bar for?
The Bar and Buffet are party items that give you a glass or a plate to fill. Click “Get Glass” or plate and wear it before getting a drink or food. The Buffet & Bar are not related to the HUD and do not change your hungry/thirsty levelsWhen do animals mate? How do they give milk/wool etc?
Animals typically spend 15% of their lifetime as children with some exceptions. The lifetime of each animal varies but you can check their config notecard (LIFEDAYS variable) for an average. Eggs take a few days to hatch. Adult females can mate via the Mate option in the menu. Mammals will start giving milk after their first child. Some adult animals give wool periodically. You can also use the Options-> Help function for this information.How does the Farmer NPC Work?
The Farmer NPC is constantly looking for farm items within his range (90m). It will try to get water from a Well and water every plant with <30% water. It will harvest plants and put their harvest in the nearest Storage Rack. When he harvests Potatoes, he will cook slop in the nearest Kitchen, and then put the slop in Fridge. Therefore the NPC can completely sustain your farm, assuming that you have turned AutoFeed On on your feeders.Why doesn’t the Farmer/Cat NPC work in my region
The Farmer and Cat NPC boxes require the following permissions to be allowed in your opensim .ini files:Allow_osMakeNotecard = ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER,PARCEL_OWNER Allow_osGetNotecard = true Allow_osMessageObject = true Allow_osSetSpeed=ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER,PARCEL_OWNERYou need to change these settings or get your sim host to change them for you. The settings can be found either in your OpenSim.ini file (in the same folder where OpenSim.exe is) or in the config-include/osslEnable.ini OR in config-include/osslDefaultEnable.ini in newer versions. You must also have enabled NPCs in your region (Set Enabled = true in the [NPC] section of your OpenSim.ini file). If you use opensim 0.9, you can set these options to PARCEL_GROUP_OWNER instead of "true" which is safer. Important note: In latest version of opensim, the settings for OSSL functions are in the [OSSL] section , NOT in the [XEngine] section where they used to be.
When rezzing an NPC , it should appear right in front of the rezzer box. If they are rezzed at the edge of the sim instead, this means you have closed access to your parcel. This will cause the NPC to fail. Please allow access to the parcel (The NPC will use the group of the controller, so can allow group access), and make sure age restriction is off (that setting doesnt seem to work with NPCs). When the farmer NPC starts, he will look for a Well in a range of 90 meters, and complain if it can't find it.
NOTICE FOR Discovery Grid users: This grid uses a non-standard opensim, so you have to modify the script inside the NPC farmer rezzer script. Please find this string and remove it: " OS_NPC_NOT_OWNED | OS_NPC_SENSE_AS_AGENT |"
