Move the FarmerPlayer to the large field of Grass shown below. This point is found to the right of and below the large fresh-water lake in the center of the map. This point was selected because it is near a very large field of Grass needed for many additional Cows. (In Autonauts Wiki, please click on "VIEW OLDER REPLIES to see all of the information in this topic.)

In this example, the values shown include "TX":341,"TY":142. Copy those values and paste them into the “Find what” field in the Find window. Increase the TX value to be "TX":342. Click on the “Find Next” button. This will locate the first Grass to the right of the FarmerPlayer.
In order to create 35 additional cows, we need to copy 35 of the “Grass” Objects to get their values for “UID”, “TX”, and “TY”, update those values and other values to become “AnimalCow” and associated values, copy the 35 Objects, and paste them back into the BeforeNewCows.txt file following the last of the 35 “Grass” Objects. We will use the “OneCow.txt” file as a model for updating the values.
The first of the 35 “Grass” Objects has “UID”:1869. The last of the 35 “Grass” Objects will therefore be the Object before the Object that has “UID”:1904.
Close the “Find” window. Highlight the Objects starting from {“ID”:”Grass”,”UID”:1869 through the Right-Brace } and Comma , before the Object {“ID”:”Grass”,”UID”:1904 as shown below. Press CTRL-c to copy the highlighted area.
Open a new file in Notepad and press CTRL-v to paste into it the copied Object. Press CTRL-h to open the “Replace” window. Enter {"ID":"Grass","UID": in the “Find what” field and enter {"ID":"AnimalCow","UID":1 in the “Replace with” field. Click on the “Replace All” button. This will change Grass into AnimalCow and will add 10000 to the Objects’ UID values to keep them unique.
In the “Replace” window, enter "ST":1, in the “Find what” field and enter "Rotation":0,"ST":0, in the “Replace with” field. Click on the “Replace All” button.
In the “Replace” window, enter "STT":0} in the “Find what” field and enter "STT":0,"EC":0,"FC":0} in the “Replace with” field. Click on the “Replace All” button.
Save this file as 35Cows.txt. Press CTRL-a to highlight the entire area in this file. Press CTRL-c to copy the highlighted area.
Return to the “BeforeNewCows.txt” file that was highlighted earlier. Identify the final Comma , at the end of the highlighted area. This is the point after which the area copied above will be pasted.
Click after this Comma ,. Press CTRL-v to paste the 35 cows. Save this file with a new file name of “AfterNewCows.txt”. This new file “AfterNewCows.txt” will be loaded into Autonauts and the old file “BeforeNewCows.txt” will be left as it was originally saved so that it may be loaded into Autonauts if there were any editing errors in the “AfterNewCows.txt” file.
Return to the Autonauts game and load the file “AfterNewCows.txt”. The 35 additional cows will appear and will quickly begin eating the grass.
There are 2 typos in my explanation for adding cows: It says "35 cows" but there are only 34 cows created. It says “TX” (the X coordinate or row number on the map), and “TY” (the Y coordinate or column number on the map), but TX is for columns and TY is for rows.
