"Guide to Obtaining the Auto-Petter in Fields of Mistria"

Raising livestock can be a lucrative venture in *Fields of Mistria*, but the daily task of petting them can become tedious. An auto-petter would be a fantastic solution to this issue, streamlining your farm management and allowing you to focus on other aspects of the game.

Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide

Unfortunately, the base version of *Fields of Mistria* does not feature an auto-petter. This means players of the vanilla game must manually pet their livestock each day. However, there's a workaround for those willing to venture into the world of mods.

I recommend the "Animal Friends" mod created by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates the petting process but also feeds your animals, saving you even more time. To use this mod, you'll need to install the Mods of Mistria Installer, as it's essential for activating the mod correctly.

To install the mod, follow these steps:

• Create a new folder named "Mods" in your *Fields of Mistria* directory.
• Download the "AnimalFriends.zip" file and place it into the Mods folder.
• Extract the zip file and then delete or move the original zip file to another location.
• Launch the Mods of Mistria Installer to complete the installation process.

The Animal Friends mod comes with several customizable features. In addition to the auto-petter, you can enable an auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier increases the number of hearts your animals can have, while preventing friendship loss ensures that the hearts you've gained don't diminish over time.

To tweak the settings, locate the "AnimalFriends.json" file within the unzipped mod folder. It's a simple text document where you can activate features by changing "false" to "true". For example, to enable the auto-petter, you'd modify the line to: ["auto-feed": true]. To disable a feature, revert the setting back to "false".

The friendship multiplier works differently; you'll need to input a number between 1 and 100. Setting it to 100 allows you to maximize your animals' affection without the need for extensive bonding. To disable this feature, set it back to 1.

Upon first installation, the mod comes with default settings where the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are disabled, but it does multiply the heart points gained from petting by five and automatically activates the prevent friendship loss feature.

If you decide to remove the mod, avoid simply deleting the mod folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly, which helps prevent any corruption or errors in your save file.

That covers everything you need to know about implementing an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always remember to back up your save file before installing mods, even if they are generally stable.

*Fields of Mistria* is available to play on PC.
