Raising livestock in *Fields of Mistria* can be a lucrative venture, but the daily chore of petting your animals can become tedious. Fortunately, there's a solution that can automate this process: installing an auto-petter mod.

Fields of Mistria Auto-Petter Guide

Unfortunately, the vanilla or base version of *Fields of Mistria* does not include an auto-petter device, meaning you must manually pet your livestock each day. However, you can circumvent this by using mods.

I recommend the Animal Friends mod by annanomoly, available on Nexus Mods. This mod not only automates the petting of your livestock but also feeds them, saving you even more time. To get it working, you'll need to install it using the Mods of Mistria Installer, a necessary tool for activating the mod.

How to Install the Mod

To set up 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 in 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 finalize the installation.

The Animal Friends mod comes with several features that you can customize. 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 boosts the number of hearts your animals gain, while the prevent friendship loss option ensures that once hearts are gained, they won't disappear.

Adjusting Mod Settings

To tweak the settings, find the AnimalFriends.json file within the unzipped mod folder. This file is a simple text document where you can enable or disable features by changing "false" to "true" or vice versa. For example, to activate the auto-petter, modify the line to read ["auto-feed": true].

The friendship multiplier setting requires a numerical input ranging from 1 to 100. If you want to skip bonding time with your animals, set it to the maximum value. To disable this feature, revert the setting to 1.

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

Removing the Mod

If you decide to remove the mod, don't just delete the folder. Instead, use the Mods of Mistria Installer to uninstall it properly. This prevents potential corruption or errors in your save file.

That's all you need to know about installing an auto-petter in *Fields of Mistria*. Always back up your save file before installing any mods to ensure stability. *Fields of Mistria* is available to play on PC.
