Hello there, so guys, i have been cracking my head here. I made a new animal and wanted to add him to the current shepherd animal option, but i have been only able to do it when i edit the stonehearth files… i have tryied to mixnto and override with no sucess. For what i can tell what determine the animals is the “shepherd\_pasture.json” inside the shepherd jobs.  
What have i tried:  
1- I tried to creat another shepherd\_pasture.json in my mod and override the other with my manifest, no lucky  
2- I tried to mix my animal into the stonehearth shepherd\_pasture.json with no lucky…  
3- I created a new job called ExoticShepherd… it kind works… but the shepherd coding is to much for me…  
4- I tried to overrite the animal files from the mod into the stonehearth via manifest…

any tip? thank you !

This example is from my outdated Candyland mod (but still works, just checked). Does your mixinto file look like this (but changing the critters to your alpacas aliases)? :

```auto
{
   "components": {
      "stonehearth:shepherd_pasture": {
         "pasture_data": {
               "candyland:critters:chocolate_bunny": {
                  "name": "Chocolate Bunny",
                  "description": "Adorable food",
                  "icon": "/candyland/entities/critters/chocolate_bunny/chocolate_bunny.png",
                  "min_population": 2,
                  "reproduction_uri": "candyland:critters:chocolate_bunny",
                  "max_num_per_10_square_unit": 0.48,
                  "base_reproduction_period": "18h",
                  "min_reproduction_period": "12h",
                  "feed_uri": "candyland:food:rabbit_feed"
             }
         }
      }
   }
}

```

And then in your manifest the mixinto is added like this?:

```auto
"mixintos": {
      "stonehearth/jobs/shepherd/shepherd_pasture/shepherd_pasture.json" : "file(jobs/shepherd/shepherd_pasture/shepherd_pasture.json)"
   }

```

If you still have trouble, you can share your mod files and some of the community modders can take a look at them 🙂  
Also take a look at the stonehearth.log, usually there’s info there if something couldn’t be loaded properly.

Your mixinto is inside your aliases.

Yes, but you are pointing to “ui:game:zones…” and you do not have that in your en.json

If your i18n() is aimed at stonehearth, then it will look there, if you aimed it at your own mod (i18n(animalz:…)) then it will look at your mod.

Try enclosing it in the `file()` function:

`“icon”: “file(animalz/entities/critters/alpaca/alpaca.png)”`

Probably because in en.json your entities is now inside the pasture while you didn’t update your entity i18n to reflect that change.
