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

Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, yet the daily task of petting them can become a bit of a chore. To streamline this process, integrating an auto-petter into your farm could be a game-changer. However, the base version of *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter feature, which means you'll need to manually interact with your animals each day. Fortunately, there's a workaround—mods.

-----------------------------------

To bypass the daily petting requirement, I recommend the "Animal Friends" mod created by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates petting but also takes care of feeding your livestock. To get it up and running, you'll need the Mods of Mistria Installer, a crucial tool for activating the mod. Skipping this step will render the mod inoperative.

Here's how to install the mod:

  • Create a new folder named "Mods" within the *Fields of Mistria* game files.
  • Download the AnimalFriends.zip file and place it into the Mods folder.
  • Extract the contents of the zip file.
  • Delete or move the original zip file to another location.
  • Run the Mods of Mistria Installer to complete the installation process.

The Animal Friends mod comes packed with features. Apart from the auto-petter, you can enable an auto-feeder, a friendship multiplier, and a feature to prevent friendship loss. The friendship multiplier boosts the hearts your animals gain, while the prevent friendship loss option keeps those hearts from dwindling.

To customize these settings, locate the AnimalFriends.json file inside the unzipped Animal Friends mod folder. This is a straightforward text document where you can toggle features on or off. To activate a feature, simply change "false" to "true." For example, to enable the auto-petter, you'd adjust the setting to: ["auto-feed": true]. To disable it later, revert "true" back to "false."

Adjusting the friendship multiplier requires inputting a number between 1 and 100. Setting it to the maximum will skip the bonding process entirely, while setting it back to 1 will disable the feature.

Upon first installation, the mod defaults to a multiplier of five for heart points gained from petting, with the prevent friendship loss feature automatically active. However, the auto-pet and auto-feed functions are not enabled by default.

If you decide to remove the mod, simply deleting the mod folder isn't enough. Use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly, preventing any potential issues with 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 to ensure stability.

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