I needed my animal to like beach grass
so I placed this under suitable objects

v = 7402
v = 5

but in the game it didn't liked it at all :?

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.

There are a couple possibilities. Most likely it has to do with the habitat. Each foliage is associated with a habitat. Beach Grass is associated with habitat 9413 (Aquatic). If the "[cSuitableObjects]" section for your animal has a negative value for 9413, then the positive value of the Beach Grass has to be large enough to counter the negative value. Here is an example:

[cSuitableObjects]
...
v = 7402
v = 15
...
v = 9413
v = -10
...

In this example, the net effect on the animal for the Beach Grass is 5 (15 added to -10).
